I was part of an amazing event ''back to the 70s'' organised as well as modelled by Artemis and WOW, what a spectacular event that was :)!!

Artemis approached me with her ideas about event followed by a detailed description and concept that gave me a great understanding of what to expect, what's required, all info about outfits, make up, timings and literally everything I should know. I find such pre-comms so helpful and time-efficient, especially when it's done in one or two email like Artemis did. :)

Two days of this wonderful event were incredibly well organised, exciting, atmospheric, enjoyable... EVERYTHING was so perfectly planned by Artemis such as different set ups with beautiful decorations and details that made me feel like I was actually BACK IN THE 70s.. 70s music, 70s food and snacks, 70s mood, even 70s photographic style ! On top of that, Artemis planned really well all time slots for photographers allowing each of them work with all of us as solo, duo and trio :) It was a really productive weekend, however due to it being so well organised it didn't even feel that tiring.

What else can I say, working with Artemis was a pure pleasure! She is incredibly professional, experienced and at the same time she's simply an amazing person, who looks after her models&photographers, makes sure everyone around is happy and she's always around to help with everything. I am enormously impressed with how well she combined being in charge with this whole event and being a model too! :) It was a hard work for sure and she definitely exceeded at it.

ONCE AGAIN, thank you for having me Artemis, my apologies for writing it so late ( I am so slow with references..), it was one of the best events I had a chance to be part of and I will definitely remember it for a looooong long time. :)

Sublime.

Just returned from a Luxury Artemisian photographic trip organised by Artemis.

As above, the trip along with Artemis could simply be described as sublime.

Even though hosting four photographers and two other models - Artemis still found the time to put in wonderful modelling perfomances. Single, Duo or trio every effort is made to ensure that you leave with fantastic images.

Image reviews elicit suggestions, that if employed - lift the images from great to awesome.

The many references below are a true testament of what to expect.

This was my third time to work with this amazing young lady. Booked myself on another Artemisian Luxury Photographic Holiday. I remember the first time I worked with Artemis I was so nervous simply because of who she is but this time I was so excited to spend a few days working with her. As a model or photographer for that matter Artemis displays a huge amount of talent and how someone can up with so many ideas is beyond me. The fact she always looks bloody fabulous is just an added bonus.

Highly recommended

Had heard of Sarah before and seen work some of my friends had shot with her, so was excited to book on an Artemesian event. Have to say, her organisational skills and committment to the event going smoothly are second to none. I'm glad I went! we had a great group there, all got on well and got great shots. Even though the weather didn't exactly play ball, it was no hassle to work round that. Sarah's a great, professional model and I'm glad we were able to honestly discuss progress of shots on back of camera and collaborate together to get the best we could. The best kind of working relationship for great results.

My first shoot with Artemis this year and it was on her Artemisian event to Tuscany. What a fabulous 4 days. It is difficult to imagine the time and effort that must go into organising trips like this but it really does pay-off. The Villa was located in the beautiful Tuscan countryside and its grounds offered a multitude of shooting opportunities, the pre-scouted locations were terrific (the morning spent shooting street fashion in a very characterful little town 15 minutes from the Villa was probably my favourite), Mr T's food was excellent and Artemis, Cariad and the other photographers on the trip were great company.

Thank you for another excellent trip Artemis...….I promise to post some images, it just may take some time.

I think I might have lost count now of how many times I've worked with Artemis over the years. This time was on a recent Artemisian event in Tuscany which gave us days of shooting time rather than the usual hours. In addition to being an incredible model, Artemis is also a creative whirlwind and a master planner and organizer. Over the four day event we created countless amazing images around the villa and the local area. Thank you so much Artemis, and I'm already looking forward to the next time we can shoot together!

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah for the first time on her 4 day Artemisian event in Tuscany. Running an event like this is far from easy. She did everything possible to ensure all attendees had the best experience. I really enjoyed myself with lots of laughs in the process.

The accommodation, locations, models (of which she was one and Cariad Cellis the other), were all top notch. Transport and delicious meals were provided by the talented Ian.

Sarah is an extremely beautiful, versatile, confident and professional model. Her passion and dedication is present in droves. It's clear she considers every element of the art of creating outstanding images. The wardrobe she brought was carefully selected, complimenting every scenario we shot in.

I had so much fun whilst shooting and socialising with the group. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her both as an event organiser and model. I can't wait to work with her again in future.

Cariad Celis

This lady ow my gosh where to start!? Firstly I have been an admirer of her work since I joined purple port a fair few moons ago now. Artemis is inspiring, her beauty is mesmerising and the way she moves and poses you cant help but be stopped on the spot. I feel so lucky to have been chosen to join her on the luxury photographic holiday to Tuscany this year.

Artemis is organised, calm and great fun to be around, she thinks of everything. She found beautiful locations to shoot at, one of which I am revisiting next year for a special holiday, honestly though she is that good at location scouting I am getting married at one of the locations!!

Thank you so much for inviting me and to get to know you and see you work and how much you put into each and every element is mind blowing!

Highly recommended ♥

The FAMOUS Artemis ! It's been years I was hoping working with her. To me, more than a model, as she can play any character. Perfect skin, light makeup, very easy to work with. Also (and that wasn't surprising), as very pleasant person to talk to. Please come back !

John Forest

My second shoot with the amazing Artemis and an absolute joy to spend time with her. She was full of ideas working with the fabric pieces I had brought along and contrasted them wonderfully with the costumes she chose. Plenty of laughs and chatting between shots. I have no idea where the three hours went. As before, Artemis is highly recommended to other photographers. I look forward to our next shoot. Thank you, Artemis.

I strongly suspect the addition of another reference atop her current 1475 references will have any great significance to Artemis's bookability, but I thought I'd like to express my admiration and thanks anyway. Artemis and I worked together earlier this week, first running a workshop, then shooting together. Those two quite different activities gave me an insight which I'd not got when shooting Artemis before, as in how she interacts with photographers who are less experienced with model photography.

In the workshop Artemis was awesome, projecting her amazing model persona at the click of a shutter, then switching into coaching / information sharing mode a split second later. Watching Artemis interact with the photographer, trying to help him get the best from his time was great, she's friendly, funny, warm, encouraging, reassuring and very knowledgeable. If I'm honest at times I wondered if I might go get myself a cuppa, as she's so good at conveying her extensive knowledge of photography while doing that amazing 'modelly stuff'. Top notch stuff.

Post the workshop I had the great pleasure of shooting Artemis myself. It was our second shoot and she was every bit as cool if not cooler than our first time round. I've recently tried a different approach to a shoot with very experienced models, as in doing significantly fewer shots per set, keeping the pace of the shoot as high as I'm able. Artemis is a perfect partner in this approach, she arrives with endless outfit changes and given encouragement can hop into one, flow through a wonderfully creative set of poses, then move onto the next outfit. And being hilarious, friendly and relaxed in between sets. We got through an amazing number of sets in our time, and, by the end, I was exhausted and very happy!

Thanks for a brilliant day Artemis, looking forward to the next time.

Kris Karl organised a shoot with this wonderful lady, with whom I’ve shot many times, in the countryside in Basingstoke.

The weather was marvellous this time, as the shoot was rescheduled from earlier in the summer.Kris had researched a good location with Artemis earlier on and indeed it was totally suited to the workshop which Kris delivers so well.

Of course the star was Artemis who always manages to knock out the headlights, with such incredible modelling skills. Given her amazing diverse experience, she equally added great value, especially to the few who were novices at shooting models.

Everyone came away with wonderfull images, especially of when Artemis waded into the middle of a cold stream and was almost attacked by a flock of ducks!,

Till the next time xx

Artemis was a fantastic model throughout and somehow always manages to add something special to each shot. Highly professional, very experienced and great fun to work with.

I fully intend to work with Artemis again, not only for some great shots, but to learn from her wealth of experience.

Ivor TL

Just finished a wonderful boudoir and nude session with the very hard working Artemis.

Her communications through out were first class. We both had the misfortune of being hit with a cold, however Artemis soldiered on in true professional fashion.

Thank you, Artemis for your creative modelling work. Very highly recommended.

My first shoot with Artemis was an absolute blast! With having little experience in the portrait world, I was actually quite nervous before meeting Artemis, even though she was lovely during messages etc it was still daunting working with someone with well over 1400 references! But after 5 minutes of meeting her, I knew I was worrying about nothing. She is so down to earth and friendly, but also very helpful.

The shoot was outdoor on the Pentland Hills, not far from Edinburgh. It was chilly and windy, but that didn't stop us doing about 6 different sets and numerous outfit changes. Artemis is extremely hard working and you can tell she does indeed LOVE her job. It was a relaxed and fun shoot, which went by very quickly.

From the hills of Edinburgh to the comfort of her hotel room, where we were able to capture my first ever silhouettes thanks to her ginormous window. Artemis was again very helpful, patient and dedicated so that I was able to capture great images.

Highly recommend this fun, energetic and hard working lady.

After an incredible and way too long gap of almost seven years, I recently worked with Artemis on location in Scotland and, unusually with almost ideal weather, I’ll take the luck as it comes! ;)

Anyway, not that there is much one can add to the billions of positive recommendations, as previously, pre-shoot arrangements and communications were prompt and detailed.

We met as arranged for onward travel to the location, Artemis is always a joy to work with and, can offer her own input on ideas if required and indeed can make pose adjustments with ease on the fly.

I feel that we got some great results in a short but productive shoot and I would have no hesitation recommending her to anyone regardless of their level of experience!

Well that is it! My life is complete now I have had the Artemis Fauna experience! I can die happy! Why did I wait so long though? We arranged an improvised shoot in the wonderful Perthshire countryside and what an absolute pleasure it was. Artemis has those amazing goddess looks which work so well for my style and ideas. We found a beautiful river, woodland, cornfields and a gated entrance which all showed off the fantastic beauty and modelling ability which make Artemis one of the real top few models. She brought beautiful dresses but also tried some of my accessories but she is just awesome at the art nude and I will treasure the images we produced in the river. I am not sure I can wait a whole year for another shoot but if I have to then I will be at the front of the queue for a 2020 booking. Sometimes the best things are worth waiting for and this was certainly the case with Artemis. Thank you Sarah for such a memorable day which will linger long in the memory!

I recently had the chance to shoot again with Artemis during her Scotland tour. Not much more to say than that which has already been said 1000+ times before……Model Perfection.

John McNairn

More crazy stuff with Artemis featuring McDonalds happy meals, Farmers dogs, disinterested bulls, very interested cows, old forts, slobbered camera bags, nettles and brambles, limekilns, ruined buildings, pesky fishing boats, wind tunnels, old ruined boats and busy beaches.....just a normal day for us really with lots of fab images, see ya next year :)

What can I say about Artemis Fauna that probably hasn’t been already said.

What a complete professional she was. Arrived prepared and buzzing to shoot. Full of creative ideas and suggestions.

Got loads of fantastic and unusual images and was a joy to work with. If you get the chance to work with her near her home or while on tour grab it. You won’t be disappointed.

Already looking forward to seeing her next time she’s up in Scotland.
