About

Hello....

 

My name is Tiffany, otherwise known as Dove, previously short for Dovetail_Stormrider, and now switched to DSM which stands for Dovetail Stormirder Modeling, since SMP itself and my own personal portfolio behind a camera are very different things. 

I've been modeling since mid-December of 2006. To my knowledge I've never had a bad review. Please feel free to contact any or all of the people listed in my Worked With section under credits. I am happy to provide contact information for references and reviews to anyone that I have worked with that I still have contact information for.

IF YOU WORK WITH ME, SIDE NOTE, please do not sugar coat. I have no penchant for suck ups.

For the first three years I built my portfolio, as all models do, on a large quantity of trade work - but unlike all models, there were times that I shot twelve to fourteen hours straight to build a career from this from the ground up. From the first shoot, this was my passion, but for me it was also more. I wanted more for it and from it, and I wanted to create what had not been created, do what had not been done, and without limitations.

Photographers have often commented that I am definitely different than anyone they've ever worked with, and a blast to be around.  I can't count the number of times I've heard "I've never met anyone like you in my life, and I mean that in the best of ways," -- both in my personal and professional life.  I am energetic, creative, driven, professional, and reliable.

My shooting style varies widely, and I have no problem pushing myself to the limits or coming up with varying concepts for shoots. 

I am the model that will scale building walls - without a net, in heels and lingerie in broad daylight in the middle of a city park.

I've lain on frozen rivers in 7 degree weather nude.

I've inserted myself into bars to pose on Baby Grand pianos, in public, while the band was playing (with permission of course), to get a great shot. No, the band did not know ahead of time, no we did not know each other, and yes I did climb the stage to brazenly request that they let a strange woman climb onto their piano and be photographed if it did not interfere with their show. They did in fact allow me onto the stage, and onto the piano, and allowed the photos WHILE they were playing, until the rest of the patrons decided that they would find out if they could come up too. This, obviously, ended the shoot.

I do my best work outside of the studio. Not to say I can't do studio work, I just prefer a more adventurous, spontaneous shooting style. My limitations are within YOUR head, excluding illegal or extremely inappropriate content.

In the words of Ani Di Franco, "I am not a pretty girl."

I don't like boxes. I'm here to create something.  I'm not afraid of doing the unusual and I'm not afraid to risk it. If you come home and don't burn you didn't set a fire!

I DO currently have a release of liability contract, which I both wrote and drafted myself, which is perfectly legal to protect all parties in precarious situations so that I can stop being told NO. If I want to hang from shibari upside down and nude from the San Francisco bridge at 3 AM 150 off the ground in zoom, as long as no one get's arrested, I now have paperwork to protect me from the word NO.

I am, however, at times allowed to attempt some of my concepts, as seen in my No Hunting No Tresspassing album.

This is why I fell in love with this, this is why I stayed, and why I do it still. With that being said, as much as it is my passion, for me, it is also still business, and as such, there are things that need to be gotten out of the way.
