“The pictures turned out so amazing. Mischkah pulled me out of my comfort zone and I feel more confident as a photographer now.”

my Mission
I shoot, I model and I edit.
My mission is to negate the proliferation of over-sexualised and harmful images of women we see everyday in the media by actively promoting a natural, inspiring and artistic style of femininity through my modelling.
You can expect a great wardrobe, quality make up and hair styling as well as my full enegagement and commitment to great results.
For many years I toured internationally across Europe, regularly. These days I tend to do more specialised, organised events.
Since 2012 I’ve built a gorgeous network of creatives around me, who I work regularly with on various projects. I am primarliy a model, working freelance. This means I find, book and create my own work internationally. Many of my clients are hobbyist photographers, and the images are used simply for their website promotion or social media. Sometimes photographers simply want to try out new kit or hone their photography and editing skills.
Working with a professional model enables you to focus on your job as a photographer without the hassle of having to direct every move the model makes. After each shot is taken, I will instinctively change the pose. Many photographers, particularly in the UK and Ireland, compete in camera club competitions, on both national and international levels and have won prestigious awards for their images. I work with artists who take reference images to paint. I have organised tutorial style shoots or workshops, where I work with new or inexperienced photographers guiding them through the shoot. Sometimes the images will be used in gallery exhibitions, book covers, etc.
Since I work also part-time as a photo editor (for real estate) I also offer basic editing tutorials or even finished images. I’ve amassed a huge knowledge of photography, lighting and tech and can confidently assist with camera settings, composition and studio lighting if necessary.
I pride myself on being able to offer a comprehensive collection of beautiful and elegant styling, with many unique hand-made pieces. My collection is also available to rent and I can offer stylist services for your project.
More recently I have set up a small studio, enabling me to shoot digitally with a wider client base. Since my work usually relies heavily on travel, during the pandemic new methods of shooting evolved to ensure our creativity didn’t end. This kind of shooting is minutely collaborative; shooting in manual mode, in a real time (digital) shoot using professional equipment.
