About Me

Newest photos at bottom of portfolio currently-slowly moving them to the top of the portfolio while on tour!

Getting to know me:
    I’m Astrid Kallsen, a full time muse.  I love modeling. When I graduated college, I fully intended to go in a different direction in my life, but found myself drawn to modeling more each year. I recently have gotten ill (not diagnosed, but maybe fibromyalgia), and this hasn't decreased my love for this work. I still hike, swim, and pose in a variety of locations and styles. I gained weight from my condition, and have been embracing more rubenesque, abstract, and sultry posing styles in my art while I have a new look to try out.
Over the last few years, Meta has also pushed me into varied genres. While I started out focused as an art nude model, I cater to a lot of lifestyle, costume/fantasy, and fashion varieties. I love helping build out the story and inspiration for the photos as a model or creative directer.  I can provide various textures and looks to add to scenes.
In my free time, I enjoy scouting and hiking locations that I can recommend for artists later, and working on my self portraits. The self portraits have taught me so much about cameras, lighting, lenses, editing, etc. I can assist in troubleshooting technical problems and deliberating on concept development!
I don't intend to ever stop touring fully. I want to continue working with the amazing artists out there. I have started hosting teaching workshops and photo events throughout the year for photographers. In Seattle, Atlanta, and North Florida, I can host photographers for day tours to a few locations I know for incredible outdoor landscapes to photograph. I am working on providing artist reference sets, portfolio and business reviews/ art consultations, and a fun T-shirt/merch line. But I am focused on my current priorities: modeling and treating my current health state.

    If you are interested in receiving messages when my travels bring me to your location or you want to book me for your area a specific time, send me a message saying so.  I prefer blunt communication online!

THINGS PEOPLE MISS:
-I AM TALL. I am 5'9.
-I model up to art and lifestyle nude. I model some boudoir/lingerie/glamour looks within my limits and in the right context.
-Only pierced ears, no tattoos
-size 12 or XL at the moment. Weight fluctuates year to year
-Semi-shaved. I generally shave under arms, and then other body hair is in varying states of shaved. I prefer the pubic area to not be the focus of my modeling and prefer wearing it in a way that looks more similar to classical paintings/sculptures/other art

BOOKING
-Will provide simple hair and makeup if desired. Let me know ahead of time if you prefer no make up or if I will need time to clean and dry myself off after working together.
-In your message please include as many details as possible (Location, Duration, Concept, Compensation)
-My rate is $375/2hr, $450/3hr, $550/4hr, $700/6 hr, and $1000/8hr. Please expect to pay a 50% deposit. There are additional charges for workshops or multiple photographers, and discounts when booking multiple days with accommodations.
-Photos: I don't require photos back or back within a certain timeframe. I enjoy being part of the art process and understand that you as the artist may need time to work on the photos or other things going on in your life. I like seeing the photos and I updating my profile and sharing content on social media when the art aligns with my brand or current status. I don't guarantee posting our work together because I get a lot of images, and while I adore many, I don't post online for external validation. I try to maintain a life off the internet, and that means I don't have the time and capacity to caption and post all of the work I do. I am trying to model for work that holds more value than existing on my social media.
