Want some original shots?

I did this a little last year with some great results. Because of the events of last year, my wardrobe has been some what diminished. So, if you'd be happy to buy something from this list of outfits, you can be the first to shoot me in them and I will of course discount it from our shooting time together! Also many items are funny prices compared to my rates, so I'll round them up so you're getting an extra bargain!

So what ever you fancy, fashion, vintage, lingerie, corsetry or latex and what ever your budget... here's a little list of links and sizes to make our shoot together more unique ^_^ Plus it would help me out a bunch as I can't shop online at the moment so replacing wardrobe is super tricky!

Please email me at madamebink@googlemail.com to confirm any additional information and to let me know so I can take things of this list ;)

Fashion:
Green Velvet Dress - Size 8 - In Green - In the sales for £37.50. I'll class this as an hour [usually £45!] on your shoot discount.
Dress - Size 8 - £59  I'll class this as 1.5 hours shooting time [usually £70! That's over £10 discount!]
Purple Satin Dress - Size 8 - In Purple - In the sales for £44.75. I'll class this as 1.5 hours on your [usually £70! That's a £25 discount!]shoot discount.
Green Velvet Dress - Size 8 - In Green  - In the sales for £32.50 I'll class this as an hour [usually £45! That's over a £10 discount!] on your shoot discount.
Bast Dress - Size XS - £49.99 I'll class this as 1.5 hours shooting time [usually £70! That's a £25 discount!]
String Dress - One Size - Around £25 I'll class this as 1 hours shoot time [usually £45! A £20 discount!]
Dress - Size 8 - £49 I'll class this as 1.5 hours shooting time [usually £70! That's a £25 discount!]
Poncho - One Size - £35  I'll class this as 1 hours shooting time [usually £45! That's a £10 discount!]


Lingerie:
Choker Harness - £125 I'll class this as 3 hours [usually £135! Saving you an extra £10!]
Playsuit - £95 I'll class this as 2.5 hours [Usually £110! Saving you £15!]
Lingerie set with shrug - £565 I'll class this as 2 days shooting inclusive of travel/digs up to £50 [Usually £550 + travel + hotel]
Harness - £85 I'll class this as 2 hours shooting [usually £90]
Torsolette - Size 32B - Either colour - £75 I'll class this as 2 hours shooting [Usually £90! Saving of £15!]

Latex:
Cat suit -  Mail me for measurements - £260 I'll class this as a full day booking [Usually £275! Saving you an extra £15!]
Green Sheer Dress - Mail me for measurements - £195 I'll class this as 5 hours shoot time [Usually £225! Saving you £35!]

Shoes:
Dragon Platforms - Size 9 on their US site [postage inc] - Roughly £95 So I'll class this as 2.5 hours [Usually £110! Saving you £15!]
Boots - Size 9 on their US site - Roughly £86 So I'll class this as a 2 hour shoot [Usually £90!]


This is a great opportunity to create some stunning new shots with original styling AND for less than you would pay hourly. There is nothing not to like so if you want to work with me consider taking advantage of this! You'll be helping me too so what ever your motive, lets get on it and get some creativity out!

The boring bit:
Shoots will take place when I am either already in your area, or, unless stated, with my travel paid. Obviously if it's going to cost me £50 to get to you, and you have an hours free shoot it's just not going to work out for me. I'm not ungrateful I just can't afford to pay for the travel, and give away £45 of shoot time for a £25 dress. I'm sure all that's very understandable and I didn't really need to say it but just in case ;)

January Highlights

January saw me on a brief jaunt to Wales and Gloucestershire and I've had some of the images back already to share with you... More to follow soon...


Some images from Miss Salleh Sparrow. More of her work here >>click me<< Sally and  make up artist James were both great to work with, and Sally and her partner Jack were even kind enough to put Major and I up for a night too. Hope to work with this wonderful team again soon! These images will be featured in the next edition of Face On Magazine. Can you spot my pooch Major? ;)











My first studio shoot of the year was with Roj Smith. You can see his work here >>click me<< Roj was easy to work with and I very much enjoyed my time with him. Hopefully next time we will be able to do a mix of studio and location work but the gale force winds stopped us this time! 








Do you have any favorites? I always find it very hard deciding what to add to my online portfolios - I want to post everything ^_^ If you have any thoughts then let me know in a comment below - it'd be appreciated! Now and on future blogs! :)

Welcome on board to 2015

 Hello 2015-ers!

I hope you all had a wonderful evening last night, however you chose to celebrate. The turning of the year traditionally calls upon us to reflect on the year past, make changes and improve ourselves during the year ahead. We privately or publicly make promises to that extent. It's always great to hear other people's insights and ideas, so I wonder what your new year resolutions are this year?  

My main goal for this year is to get my website back online - only new and improved. It will have a members section with tutorials and concept shoots, better galleries and means to book me straight away through the site. Also to set up a sister site to focus more on everything else life offers. I get asked a lot about travel, being nomadic, messages from sisters from around the world etc I've started featuring more personal information on my Instagram. Find me there as 'Madame Bink'. I included two photos of how I chose to spend my transition into 2015 as well as how I started my first morning of the year. 

I spent the first half of my evening showering and cleansing. Reflecting on the year that's past. It's been a roller coaster of a year 2014. 

Life was hard for a while and many people showed me kindnesses I could never have expected. Housing my pooch and I, welcoming me back to modelling full time and showing me friendship. Message of support came to me from across this little world of ours and I was moved and humbled by it. 

It became immediately apparent who my friends were. As is always the case in times of hardship. From family, long term friends and people I really hardly knew. You know who you are and thank you. Any one who likes my modelling, supports it and enjoys it... We all thank you. I wouldn't be writing this if it wasn't for those friends who helped me start a new.

A special, special thank you has to go to my beautiful, wonderful Ivory Flame. Who instantly offered me housing, clothing, food and encouragement to get back on my feet despite the heart ache. She looked after Major so I could work, took me to airports and held my hand when I needed a friend. There's not really any words to explain what she did for me this year. But I'm back, and that's thanks to her. Thank you again beautiful soul sister.

But from what seemed like total disaster spawned a new chapter. My year started scared, in survival mode needing to earn money and get a roof over our heads and heart broken. Then I passed my driving test and converted a transit into a camper and began touring my modelling again properly with my pooch Major. He liked waking up in forests and beside beaches as much as I did! I scratched the wanderlust itch and took one of my soul sisters to Italy for a surprise 21st birthday gift to her. And in September I returned to my home. The place that calls to me. I went back to the Lake District. Asked to photograph an event (Grasmere Guzzler) I was supremely lucky enough to meet a man there who I've fallen in love with. And that's who I ended 2014 with. 

Wrapped up in my partners arms. Giving and receiving love well past midnight. We had decided to stay in and not face the crowds but only as the night drew in did we decide to create a sacred space with candles and incense to beckon in the new year together. It was the most unique, intimate and perfect New Year's Eve I've ever had. My year ended in love, supported and happy. I've been very lucky to receive such love and support from my partner. Thank you. 

I've embraced the good and the lessons of 2014 and I'm going in 2015 happier than ever before.

We slept a little and then bundled ourselves into the car to watch sunrise at St Michael's Mount. It's around 45 mins from us and this an early start! But such a beautiful way to start the year. It was windy and cloudy but refreshing and beautiful. Major enjoyed the freedom on the beach as of course there wasn't many people about at that time! 


And there we have it. Hello 2015. I've got high expectations and big dreams for you. To all I saw in 2014 - thank you for being a part of my journey and sharing your time with me on shoots and in coffee shops. Thank you. I hope we see each other again this year.

Lots of love to you who have made it this far! Well done ;) Hope to see you this year :)

June:
2nd - 9th Lincolnshire Tours - madamebink@googlemail.com to book.
Cause I love these areas so very much I offer a discount on my usual rate:
£125 - 4 hours

Dates: Tues 2nd/Wed 3rd/Thurs 4th/Fri 5th/Sat 6th/Sun 7th/Mon 8th/Tues 9th

If you want me to drive that day [and pay for all parking fees] please add £15 and £30 accordingly. Last year, I drove for every one of my Lake District Tours simply because I knew the roads so well etc

The day is relaxed, no mad dashing about and working from portraiture/fashion - nude so we can shoot at all locations regardless of foot traffic. Being happy to shoot a range of genres is important.

An early start is recommended. Regardless of locations early is better, lots of walkers and campers potentially but not families etc so limited traffic Wink Times must include travel between locations, it's not just shoot time - I'm sure that sounds obvious but I have had people booking 4 hours and expecting me to be with them from dawn until dusk!

I hope this info helps, if there is anything missing please just let me know Smile

My Lake District Tours run 1st Sept - 13th Sept  Cause I love these areas so very much I offer a discount on my usual rate:
£125 - 4 hours
£225 - all day [up to 8 hours]

Dates: Tues 1st/Wed 2nd/Thurs 3rd/Fri 4th/Sat 5th/Sun 6th/Mon 7th/Tues 8th/Wed 9th/Thurs 10th/Fri 11th

If you want me to drive that day [and pay for all parking fees] please add £15 and £30 accordingly. Last year, I drove for every one of my tours simply because I knew the roads so well etc

The day is relaxed, no mad dashing about and working from portraiture/fashion - nude so we can shoot at all locations regardless of foot traffic. I'm not sure how well you know the lakes but there is no 'out of season' for locals or tourists so there is always the chance of bumping into people so being happy to shoot a range of genres is important.

Lake sides, woodland, stone circles, pebble beaches and street fashion are all on offer. Obviously number of locations is limited to how long we shoot for. I am to shoot min 2 on half day tours and min 4 on full day tours.

An early start is recommended, especially if you want to shoot at the stone circle. But regardless of locations early is better, lots of walkers and campers potentially but not families etc so limited traffic Wink Times must include travel between locations, it's not just shoot time - I'm sure that sounds obvious but I have had people booking 4 hours and expecting me to be with them from dawn until dusk!

I hope this info helps, if there is anything missing please just let me know Smile

**** EPIC DEAL ALERT 3rd & 7th available with Ivory Flame as a duo on my Lake District Tours at a reduced rate!****
Half day £240
Full day £430

Dates: Thurs 3rd/Mon 7th Sept

Taken By Alex Ingram. This is Scotland, but not dissimilar from what you can expect in the Lakes!

About us as a duo, from Flamer's blog:
"Both of us work with other models too, but I've known Bink the longest and worked with her the most - so always feel very comfortable modelling alongside (and often very up close!) with her. Our friendship and experience help us work as a harmonious model duo, bouncing suggestions off each other and trying out new poses."

"Having modelled as partners in crime on too many occasions to count, in England, Scotland, Ireland, Europe, the US and Australia, this pair are very comfortable and experienced in working as a harmonious, elegant duo, making it easy for the photographer to achieve different and new ways of storytelling. Very versatile with conveying varying styles, feels and attitudes, Flame & Bink compliment each other beautifully in fashion, beauty and figure nudes."

Ummmm hi?

Hello there.

Remember me?


Hello folks. How are you all?
I'm back modeling. My first week back as seen love and support from so many people. It's almost overwhelming. All the messages, booking enquires and kind words truly mean a lot to me. Thank you. I've missed you my creative family! I've done a lot of shoots again already. Brilliant. Off to a flying start. <3 font="">

I'm focusing on fashion and portraiture at the moment. Easing myself back into model model one shoot at a time. I thought maybe I'd be a bit out of practice but as it turns out, it's a lot like riding a bike.  For the first month of my return I will be offering this at a mere £25p/h. So if you've wanted to work with me and have had to save up then now is the time to get in touch! 

I'm primarily using my  facebook and purpleport for bookings.Or madamebink@googlemail.com My website and info@ address are not currently active. I'll work on getting those up and running in the near future. 

For now I am thinking of setting up a Latex Fashion Studio Day. Probably June or July. If that would tickle your fancy then get in touch to register your interest. It'll be first come first served and I'll be posting more details soon :)


I hope you are all having a good week, I'm looking forward to seeing you again soon. Here are just a couple of photos from this week...
