Miss Avant Garde, contacted her to organize a Model Day, communications were excellent, mutual discussions to create a Burlesque styled event resulted in a fantastic day enjoyed by all the attendees. Jade was excellent with her interaction, posing was amazing, outfits incredible, she is fun and beautiful.

Already arranging to book her again for another event.

One very quickly runs out of superlatives when talking about an Avant Garde shoot!

The loss of the circus group shoot turned into my great fortune as it instead became a command performance for an audience of, well, me! And that made for a very happy imagist 😎. We got ideas sorted beforehand and then met up at Fareham Studio as ever warmly hosted by Andy. Several changes of set and outfit then ensued with fabulous images and laughter! I’m still grinning like an idiot!

I can’t wait to download these images and look of the bigger screen - choosing which to post will be an enormous challenge!

Just wow!

100% recommended!

My second shoot with Avant Garde, my first being a group shoot at Fareham Studio where the idea of a Vampire Queen theme was born. Several months later we finally got there.

We worked through two distinct sets, with Avant Garde perfectly adjusting her makeup, costume and posing to match each one. We got some excellent images and had a lot of fun along the way.

Absolutely and thoroughly recommended!

Booked Avant Garde for her Burlesque/aerial skills. I wasn't disappointing. In her own words she does take a little longer to prepare her look but what emerges from the changing room is an absolute work of art. Correct to the finest detail, superb make up and simply stunning look.

Have a plan in place and you will be rewarded with perfect shots time after time.

Planning our next shoot together already. I only touched on her massive wardrobe. I still have lots of outfits to explore.

I had the great pleasure of working with Avant Garde at a Dark Dancer themed shoot. Avant totally rocked the look - even down to the dark swan earnings!

Avant brought costumes that she had made herself which were spectacular with great attention to detail. Which is exactly how Avant is herself - every image was posed to perfection with exactly the right angles, expressions and placement.

A trained ballet dancer and aerial artist, Avant brought both skills to the shoot (check out my images here on PP) from posing en pointe to highly skilled aerial hoop work.

Intelligent, very hard working, good fun, Avant takes direction very well and can pose freely so I can highly recommend her to photographers of all levels. I look forward to working with her again before too long

Fareham Studio

We recently booked Avant Garde for a Dark Dancer group shoot at the studio, and we could not have chosen a more perfect model for the theme! Her pre-comms were superb and she brought a huge amount of jaw-droppingly beautiful outfits - many of which she had made herself! She greeted everyone warmly and worked so hard throughout the evening to produce amazing images including en point and aerial hoop. With her willowy limbs, fluid motions and porcelain skin, AG looks like something out of a dark fairytale and the images speak for themselves. She was a joy to have at the studio and we look forward to welcoming her back very soon.

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Avant Garde on a Dark Dancer shoot arranged and run by Sinopa Rin at Fareham Studio.

Avant is a very lithe model and dancer who is able to pose effortlessly in various ways and has great expressions. She also showed her skill as a trained aerial artist, on the hoop in this case and was able to pose in many ways even though some were obviously quite uncomfortable for her. But these she did without complaint. She is fun and takes direction well working tirlessly during the evening wearing many outfits she had made herself.

Easy to recommend,I look forward to working with her again.

Had an incredible first shoot with Avant Garde, at Sanctum Southampton :-) Have been following her work for a while and we met briefly at Studland one time, so I was super happy when we finally got the chance to work together! :-) Avant Garde really did not disappoint! her styling is beyond awesome and her posing and modelling skills bring what she has created with her styling to visit life! :-) Communications before the shoot were perfect and she arrived bang on time with her hair stylist, and was an absolute joy to work with - had lost of fun shooting and came away with incredible images - totally recommend and can't wait to work together again! :-)

Tintin on a mission

I can highly recommend booking Avant Garde for a shoot!

Communincations pre shoot were outstanding with every detail arranged clearly and quickly. Avant Garde offered me the chance to select outfits before the shoot and still bought a car load of stuff along!

Avant garde poses effortlessly and elegantly and I could not be happier with the results! She is also very easy to get along with, chatty and generally just a lovely person.! Highly recommended!

Yesterday I had the great pleasure of welcoming the lovely Avant Garde to ADWsTowers. What a splendid lady!

I could tell we'd have a good time from our precomms. In person Avant Garde is witty, friendly, fun and intelligent. As can be readily seen, she looks great. She's the first model who brought an even bigger case of cosmetics than clothing - and the clothing case was huge.

Not only did Avant Garde bring a wonderful set of outfits, but, to my amazement, I learned she made many of them, including what must be the most complex strappy lingerie set I've ever seen. Very talented indeed.

Courtesy of Avant Gardes' experience, we were able to work quickly and positively whizzed through a number of sets. I'm very pleased with the outcome of the shoot and am looking forward to editing the images.

Highly recommended. Thanks for coming!

Sensual Art

My idea at Studland Bay House was initially for some solo ballgown pictures, but the idea quickly evolved into a duo set with Claret joining her in front of the camera, with a natural theme offered by the Studland Bay House. Ms Garde's natural elegance fitted perfectly into this, and was as always a real joy to work with. The results were outside of my normal area, so I was delighted to find that I was in good hands, with styling and posing all taken care of with minimal direction from me.

The two of them are an absolute blast, and our time flew by. Thank you!

Oh my days! Today I worked with a real live superstar showgirl. A cherished ambition for about 30 years and it was fabulous!

We also shot a very cool corset and I needed a different lens to my usual to get Ms Gardes astonishingly long legs in.

I really couldn’t be happier with the professionalism, quality of styling, sheer ability to pose every shot with deceptive ease, hair, makeup, attitude, and talent that Jade brings to the shoot.

I loved our shoot today, been on a bit of a high ever since actually. So pleased we got to work together and can’t wait to download the images .

Claret

At long last we had the opportunity for another duo shoot at this weekend’s Studland event, working with Sensual Art, and as ever it was simply the greatest pleasure working with this talented and stunning lady!

We went through a series of different sets and pre-communication is always excellent, we discussed our styling and outfits in detail prior to the shoot so on the day we already knew what to do for each set.

We had an absolute blast together and I cannot recommend her high enough to anyone! Can’t wait for out next shoot together - thank you for the best day! :) xxx

Amazing quality makeup, great camera awareness and poise, arrived punctually despite distance and appalling travel conditons. Very Professional. Bough own clothing,

Pleasure to work with, would hire again.

Took directions well, and with how different she looked in various wigs and makeup it was like I had 3 models and a makeup artist for the price of 1.

On Saturday I had my second shoot with Jade. This time we worked on street fashion and portraits. Having work with Jade before I new how good she is! But I was still astonished by amazing fashion looks Jade prepared with beautiful hand made garment of completely bespoke design. Her whole appearance is so beautiful it awakens creativity! I love working with Jade! Each image we make is complete unique and surprising. She is so responsive to all ideas the work feels like play.

In just two hours we made such a great selection of beautiful images! I cannot wait to edit them for my portfolio! We also had a chance to work on more creative and expressive images which I absolutely love.

Thank you so much for incredible photos! I hope we work together again soon!

I recommend Jade to anyone. If you appreciate innate beauty and elegance you have to work with her!

As always, working with Miss Avant Garde was pure pleasure. She can make her make-up and hair to professional level, no MUA needed, posing is her middle name, and she is a great company. We are already looking forward to our next shoot together. Cannot recommend enough, she is a start in our book, for sure.

Q: Referring to "the glossary", are there sufficient superlatives to adequately describe working with Jade? A: Nowhere near!

Starting from initial query, to ideas and even travel updates comms were perfect. Started shooting and very quickly achieved the aims of the shoot - beyond my hopes in fact! The rest was playtime - and we got some fabulous images in. I'm really looking forward to the post-processing!

I will very definitely hope to be shooting with Jade again (if she'll consider it). Very definitely recommended.

I had an amazing shoot with Jade. It was my first shoot but after looking at Jades portfolio I was full of great ideas and expectations. Jade was even better than I imagined.

She is an extremely versatile model, capable of posing as different characters. A great actor, Jade could show almost any expression and emotion at will.

She arrived with a suit case for make up and another one with outfits. Her make up skills are that if a professional MUA and her outfits are that what you would expect of an actor and a ballet dancer. I was very impressed.

The shoot went very well and we made many very different amazing photos. I only wish I had more time with Jade and hope to work again.

Thank you for amazing photos!

Sanctum Southampton

We had the pleasure of meeting Jade after the shoot which is rare for us.

Jade along with the Photographer 'Onemorepicture' produced some outstanding images that we feel are so right for the Sanctum styling and the fact that she makes her own outfits is incredible

We are so grateful for the choosing of Sanctum for the shoot and allowing us to use the images, thank you x

OneMorePicture

Another year and another shoot with Jade.

This is probably the third or fourth shoot with Jade and each time we get something different and cool.

I found a great location, and immedatly figured it would be perfect with her in mind - and so it began.

Jade is not just a model, but also stylist and clothing maker - building her own lingerie and gowns for the shoot, they ended up fitting with the location perfectly and outstanding skill in manufacturing.

Will have to get my thinking hat on and work out something completly different for the next shoot.
