Hello, I'm Dee!
I'm a model-tographer.
You can view my modelling folio here - www.purestorm.com/DeeElegia
I'm now based in Blackpool, having relocated from Scotland.
But I travel around a lot - Leeds, Manchester & London.

I absolutely adore colour and quirkiness. And images that are unique and stand-out from the norm'. I'm inspired by the works of Guy Bourdin, Cindy Sherman, Terry Richardson, Francesca Woodman and Helmut Newton; amongst many others! Music and film are a massive influence on me, and inspire many of my concepts. I'm also slightly in love with David Hockney and Bob Dylan.

I would like to work with people who are a little bit like me - creative, quirky, different, imaginative, and fun. Being open to experimenting and taking risks, also helps. Oh and have a sense of humour, that's mandatory!

My background is largely fine arts based - painting & drawing.
My ideas tend to be a little wacky and weird but mostly FUN! My aim is to create something different, and focus on the narrative and content of an image.
I never shoot the same thing twice or repeat ideas.
I love colour. A lot.
I shoot with a few Polaroid cameras (I have 6 now), various medium format, holga and lomo cameras using 35mm, 120 and slide film. Basically my cameras are very old and sometimes (always!) heavy to carry around, but I tend to get a good mix of different styles each time I shoot. :-)

I'm fun and friendly and I will make sure you are comfortable and well-looked after when shooting with me. I don't have years and years of experience or fancy gear to dazzle you with. But I do have LOTS of ideas and a massive passion for trying to translate those ideas into great images.

If you want to work with me, just drop me a message. I'm not good with hints.

*I only shoot TF.*

Dee is brilliant. She's a true artist, exploring a creative vision and self-expression through her photography. Not only that but she manages to fulfill that while creating images that are both model-friendly and striking. And on top of all that, she's a wonderful person and hilarious to boot.

Thanks again for a wonderful shoot. xx

The minute I spotted this lady I knew it was going to be a fun shoot, Dee is quirky, fun and she has an enthusiasm that's very catching! She is incredibly talented and full of cool ideas, the shoot went quickly and we produced a lot of cool shots. I am so looking forward to seeing the results and I'd love to work with her again. Highly recommended for quirky creative folk like me :)

I worked with Dee last month at my apartment and on location. We arranged everything really easily and bounced ideas backwards and forwards prior to the shoot.

She arrived with a big bag of fun stuff and cool cameras. Our ideas worked perfectly together and the shoot went so fast. We produced so much in such a short time and such a varied amount of images.

Dee is really fun to work with, she's a great model as well as a great photographer so she knew all the best angles for capturing a fantastic image. We created some shots that were so unique and also very personal to me.

I can't wait to shoot with her again and I can't recommend her highly enough, I had such a fantastic time.

:)

I am completely and UTTERLY in blissful love with this beautiful lady and her RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING work!!!!!

I have always admired Dee as an amazing model, but watching her (like a hawk) blossom into what i firmly believe to be one of THE best photographers that this country has, has been quite simply awe inspiring... So having the chance to work with her was the real wasps ankles!

Her communication is seriously absolutely second to none, her props and dedication to the shot is again, second to none, and - most importantly - her keen eye, amazing imagination, and awesome ideas will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be second to none.

I cannot possibly gush anymore and put into words what i think about this lady... The only way i can possibly illustrate my love anymore is to ask you to check back in with me in a few months time, and play, 'Where's Wally?' with my port and attempt to find another photographers work!  ;P ...And you think that i'm joking right?!

Needless to say, if you ever stumble upon the chance to work with this lovely lady then just get on with it immediately for your own sake, otherwise ill be right behind you tapping you on your shoulder and shoving you out of the way for my turn again, you snooze you lose quite frankly!

Dee you're completely amazing and i can't get enough of you! <3 Thank you so much for working with me and make sure you remember me when you're publishing your own coffee top books and such like ;) - Until next time, and the next time, and the next time...

elegia stayed at my place for three days, and we hung out, drank, gossiped and took some photos. She's funny, sweet, gorgeous and takes great shots. She listened when I complained about an edit (thank you), put up with the swarms of people in and out of my flat and took photos of me touching up my boyfriend. She's utterly lovely x
