Had a great trip to Artemis's home studio and even though I had to cut the session short we achieved some of the best portraits I've ever managed to capture.

Artemis is an amazing model but more importantly a genuinely friendly, relaxed and delightful human being. Her skills and knowledge in front of the camera help to create great work, whilst her patience and genuine interest in developing ideas made for a memorable shoot.

Whether you are very experienced or just getting started I can not recommend Artemis highly enough, she is simply superb.

Great visit to Artemis’s home studio today for a mix of natural light and flash work over a range of genres. Memorable time spent in the kitchen eating olives and feta whilst working on a lingerie/nude set around the cooker, all very new for me. This lady is such an amazingly talented model, great company and adds so much to any booking. Artemis knows what works well, always drops in some great suggestions and our 3 hours simply flew by. I can’t recommend her enough, she is just magic.

I have just had the pleasure of being on one of Artemis Fauna’s luxury holidays to Portugal - run by herself and IainT in partnership. An absolutely magnificent experience and one to be recommended to any photographer looking to visit amazing locations, shoot an incredible model and have all of the luxuries from airport pick-up and drop-off, dazzling five-star accommodation, delicious food and all transport included in the package. Iain’s contribution is first-class as chef, driver and bon vivant host with great stories and wisdom to share, both technical and life-based.

Artemis is tour director, location scout, organizer, collaborator, artist, model and stylist all-in-one. Her skills stretch way beyond just exquisite modelling, amazing posing, exceptional versatility and a true, natural beauty. She makes the participants welcome, the villa becomes a home-from-home and the company is a delight.

My trip was a 4-day one-to-one tour and the range of exceptional imagery I have been able to produce in this short time is nothing short of incredible.

If you have seen her casting calls, wondered if you should book - my advice to you is do it. You will not see anything like this on any of the similar lookalike tours that are sometimes promoted. Highly Recommended.

I had wanted to shoot with Artemis for a long time and was delighted when the opportunity arose while on a trip to Portugal. I am glad to say it was worth the wait and was not disappointed. The villa where Artemis was staying was in a secluded spot in the country, not easy to find but directions from Artemis were excellent, as was all communication before and after the shoot. Artemis is a true professional with arrangements, preparation as well as posing and collaborating with ideas and setting up shots and lighting. She knows what works and adopts spontaneous poses as well as takes direction with ease, to make the shoot a productive team effort. I look forward to the next opportunity and highly recommend Artemis to others looking for a professional artistic model who is a joy to work with. :-)

I had my first duo shoots with Artemis at her beautiful home on the 30th Oct and also my first trio shoot on the 31st with her and the stunning Siren. I must admit I was nervous before I arrived but I was soon put at ease and laughing in no time.

Artemis is a wonderful host, beautiful model and a real joy to be around. She is truly inspiring to be around, full of great ideas and plans well ahead of shoots to make sure everyone is comfortable. We shot in and around her home, she has lots of lovely and quirky bits of furniture with bright and open spaces and every models dream wardrobe!

I am looking forward to working with her again in the new year :)

Thank you for hosting me and just being awesome!

Highly recommended :)

I had the totally unexpected, and absolutely golden opportunity to work with both Artemis Fauna and Cariad at Artemis' amazing home in Malmesbury.

While they worked incredibly hard, both as a duo and as solo artists, they also created a completely relaxed atmosphere. The three of of really had a laugh both on and off set.

While we revisited a number of themes such as vintage fashion and and art nude, Artemis and Cariad encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone by experimenting with a ring light for the very first time. I am so grateful to these two lovely ladies for having such faith in me.

Another chance to work with Artemis and Cariad, either individually or as a coupling, can never come too soon, and I truly hope there will be another one for me.

In the meantime, please let me thank you both while leaving you my highest recommendation.

I've said it before and will undoubtedly say it again, Artemis is simply peerless. With the greatest of respect to them, there are other fabulous, beautiful and brilliant models, but no-one else has her combination of talent, adaptability, beauty, professionalism and personality. Artemis has amazing organisational, visualisation, people and personal skills so that she gets the best of every shoot and location and makes every one of we photographers who are privileged to work with her look better than we are.

1350+ references… what more can I say? Other than I had the absolute pleasure of working with Artemis and DarrenS yesterday evening on a “Film Noir” shoot.

As usual her planning and preparation was spot on, with storyboard and sets ready to go :-)

She worked fantastically well with Darren as a private detective (Forensic Fauna :-)) and gave 100% to ensure we got the shots to tell the story.

Any one who hasn't worked with her DO IT NOW...you won't regret it!

Thanks again Ms Fauna, till next time (Y)

I worked alongside Artemis for the seventh time last week, this time with a film noir event and studio day.

Artemis is always well prepared, with great locations, which she has scouted and full of ideas to bring forward.

She is always professional, fun to work with and always a great pleasure to model with.

We worked through a number of themes for the studio day and smashed each one.

I look forward to working with again :)

Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of joining Artemis on her Film Noir event, a very professional event well organised and well executed with an amazing storyboard, I loved every minute of it and got some great photographs to add to my project. Thanks again

The first shoot Artemis and I had was in 2014. Today was the second. In those four years, this is what I I’ve learned about this wonderful human ‘bean’...

Artemis was superb in 2014... Beautiful, professional, accommodating, and totally lovely.

In 2018 she’s proved to have ‘aged’ like a rare, fine wine... More beautiful, more pro... A fantastically accomplished model.

Her Malmesbury locations are also ‘en-pointe’. If these were London, they’d be billed at £700+ per day, without the attendant A1+ Uber-model.

If some cruel, malevolent Photo-God decreed I could only ever shoot with one model; I’d choose Artemis.

Her self-awareness and self-visualisation ... aka, light/brain/body control, is so spot-on.

So yeah, maybe you should book Artemis Fauna... She’ll undoubtedly help to raise your photo-game, and likely collaborate to create some of the finest photographs in your portfolio.

...that is all...

Had my first shoot with Artemis earlier today and the only problem was that it had to end.

We'd discussed a winter fashion themed shoot at the garden location she has access to and, after a quick tour of suitable areas, we started shooting. Artemis is just a natural at this and flowed through poses and changes seamlessly. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, extremely hard working and a genuine, lovely person; it's obvious that she loves her job and she really is at the top of her game. I cannot add anything to what has already been written about her other than to say "Thank you" for today and that I am looking forward to working with her again at the earliest opportunity.

1000% recommended.

This was my 3rd shoot with Artemis, and incidentally the first time I've ever booked any model for a third time. It hard to sum-up just how capable, professional, versatile and amenable, she is, but perhaps this first third booking goes a little way to explaining this. She's quite exceptional - a 'model' model - and I cannot imagine how working with her would fail to do anything but help elevate a photographer's game, no matter how little or much experience they have. Thank you (once again) Artemis.

You don’t really need to know much when someone already has 1342 positive references and there isn’t anything more or new to say, but today I finally took the plunge and had my first shoot with Artemis. It was a duo shoot with her and Em Theresa (and a sneaky quick trio too :) )...and it was flipping superb from start to finish. Artemis was pure quality and really knows her photography shiznitz too...between them, they nailed every set and I am ecstatic with the results. Wicked work ethic, cracking person and a phenomenal shape maker...will definitely be working with Artemis again if she’ll let me....she’s the boss!

Em Theresa

I once again had the pleasure of working duo with Artemis for another art nude/aerial hoop duo workshop at Natural Light Spaces. As the first time Artemis nailed the poses super quick in our (only!) 1-2 hour rehearsal beforehand which really is quite a skill :) the sold out workshop went really well and all attendees got super shots, really could not have asked for any more effort and dedication from Artemis. The day after we had a half-day duo model day which sold to a single lovely photographer, and that went extremely well too. I really enjoy working with Artemis, she's exceptionally talented and also a lovely person too. Obviously another recommendation from me! :)

Marc Ortiz

A well deserved 1350+ reference! Artemis Fauna is just simply fantastic. What more can you ask for a model? It’s super easy to build rapport with her, she is athletic (she can mimic difficult aerial poses with ease) She is fantastic at creating shapes! She can pose with and without direction.

I hope to work with Miss Fauna again sometime in the future! I recommend anyone to work with her if you get the chance! You will not regret it! Thanks for a fun shoot!

Theres a good reason Artemis has over 1300 positive references and zero negatives.....she's a bloody good model! We didn't really get to chat much as we were both busy but when we did she was a really nice, pleasant girl to speak to. There were times I was watching her working and my mouth was just agog (yes it's a real word!). Its a real treat to watch someone at the very top of their game plying their trade. Anyway, I got some fantastic shots both on digital and on 35mm film of which I'm immensely proud. Hopefully in the near future I can work 1-21 with her.

Well!!! She's done it again. Just returned from my 4th trip with Artemis and IainT on yet another of their luxury photographic holidays. The first trip was amazing but subsequent trips seem to get better and better. I don't know how she does it. (Yes I do, dedication and a lot of hard work.) These events have really become the highlight of the year. Great places, great food, great company and lots of great images. I've made some very good friends during the trips and I'm already looking forward to the next one. I believe there are still some places available. Don't let the chance go, these trips really are the business. Ivory flame was the second model whilst I was there and she was also a dream to work with.

I also managed a 1/1 with Artemis earlier in the year at IainT's place in Portugal. Run in a similar style to the full luxury trips this was a great experience as well and is well recommended.

Thanks Artemis for a brilliant week. You're the greatest!!!!

What can I write that has not already been said, about working with Artemis.

We did a shoot at her place and did multiple styles from fashion to body scapes.

She is a really nice person to work with. and knows how to get the best possible results together.

I would definitely recommend her and would work with her again if I have the change.
