Up and Coming alternative model, Collette Von Tora.
As you know, I really love the alternative model scene, and Collette really stands out from the crowd. She always looks really natural in front of the camera, (even if the image isn't a natural theme!) and seems to be able to mold into any personality for every type of photoshoot.
Collette has appeared in no other than one of my favourite magazines, Bizarre's Ultra Vixen competition and won issue 164 is now through to the end of year final. She has been given the chance to go to Bizarre's Winter Ball 2010, and you can vote for her to go! Take a look here. She's already at no.2, but needs to stay there (or of course get to no.1! Please Vote!).
She has worked with many well known names such as, A Box of Delights, A Box of Burlesque, A Box of Vintage, After Dark Entertainments (show promo), How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse (show promo), Zombie Aid 2 (promo video) and Filth Wizard.
To top things off, Collette also does her own make-up for most of her shoots, and that to me spells dedication and a lot of skill.
Here are some of my favourite Collette images.
