My name is Contessa Black, many know me by Tesssa. I am a professional working MUA, Stylist, Designer, Writer, Location Scout and more...
I have 22 years of experience beginning in Seattle WA many moons ago. I have worked with many, many Photographers, Models, Artists, etc....
I enjoy painting on faces and bodies, rearranging the hair, and adding select wardrobe pieces...creating all different kinds of art...and not always the typical kind. To me a face is like a drawing board with many more creative possibilities...many undiscovered; it always amazes me that the stroke of a brush can perform...magick!
WHAT I WOULD LIKE:
I would like to continue to work with as many art-minded individuals as I can...in Photography...but what I would truly love to accomplish now is to work in FILM. As you may be able to see and feel...many of the images I helped to create have the feel of a film...they tell a story more so than just showcasing a pretty or intriguing face...I relish in this ability I have to bring that emotive aspect out with a Photographer, and I am sure it would be even more potent in moving pictures.
I am trained and experienced in-
Cannon of Beauty/Natural
Classic
Glamour
Fashion
High Fashion
Fantasy
Goth
and Period Work
And can create something completely new for you, all magickal visions are worthwhile and can be done~ I am without limitation.
I seek all kinds of creative endeavors to fulfill my desires of expression~
