Interview by Jarod Lawley
Kitty von Crypt is an alternative fashion, fetish and glamour model based in the UK, who works on photo sessions, fashion shows, events and much more- putting her own unique styles into all of her efforts.


You have over 21,000 likes on Facebook, did this recognition come gradually or quickly? How do you feel about being so well known in the alternative world?
I think its super cool that so many people follow my stuff and enjoy what I do, it’s really nice to know that I’m not just a crazy lady who poses alot! Haha.
What intrigued you most about the modelling industry?
Surprisingly I’m actually very shy and quiet in real life, I suffer from anxiety and depression and with that comes huge self doubt and low self esteem. Modelling gives me the freedom to get out of my head and become whatever character I desire. When I started modelling I was feeling very bad about how I looked and it really does help boost self confidence!
When in front of the camera, what helps you create the poses? Is there anything in particular you think about or do is just come naturally?
It all comes naturally to me really. If there is a specific theme for the shoot I always make sure to do research into the theme so I can get an idea of the type of posing I’ll need to do.
Do you have anyone you really admire or draw inspiration from?
Oh there are so many models I look up to! Razorcandi, Triz Tass, Lusy Logan, Nancy Harry and Shelly D’inferno just to make a few! I also love the work that Laura Flora and Salleh Sparrow produce and I would love to have the chance to do something like their work some day!
Have you had a favourite shoot to date and why?
Ohh it’s so hard to pick just one! Hmm… I would say either the witch burning shoot I did with Jaded Images and Liberation Makeup Designs for the cover of Necro Girls Magazine or the shoot I have just done for CRMC Clothing!
My best friend Mark from Jaded Images is someone who I work with regularly. He really helped me out when I first got into the whole thing and started my portfolio off for me. I also absolutely love working with Biff Snr and hope to work with him again this year! There are tons of people who I dream of shooting with in the future, Salleh Sparrows photography is something I really want in my portfolio along with many others!
Apart from modelling, what else are your interests and hobbies?
I love horror movies, animals, long walks on the beach and music. I work as an interviewer for an online radio show called ‘Thank Fuck For Metal’ which means I get to go to festivals and interview bands, which is always fun! I interviewed Skindred a few years back and they were awesome, definitely a career highlight for me!
What are your future plans and what do you hope to continue to achieve in the near future?
My dream is to be on the cover of Skin Deep or Total Tattoo Magazine one day! I plan to keep pushing myself out there and work with as many cool people as I can, and hopefully one day in the near future my dreams will become a reality!
