I worked with Avant Garde at a wedding themed shoot organised by Lewislloyd.

She proved a great choice to work with. Her red coloured wedding dress was outstanding and complements her stunning looks. This was the only outfit she wore during our shoot but it really was the only one she needed. She posed very naturally with virtually no direction and instinctively seems to know the shot you are after. Great fun working with her ....highly recommended

Shot with Avant Garde at LewisLloyds organised shoot.

A fantastic look with her red wedding dress and she posed effortlessly.

I came away with great shots and new poses to use with other models!

Thanks Jade. ..highly recommended.

I was part of the organising team at a recent LewisLloyd vintage car shoot in association with Paulmh and Avant Garde was one of the models we chose. Well this lady is simply one of the most elegant and hard working models I have worked with and it shows in the final images. Avant Garde gets 10 out of 10 for communication, arrival time, outstanding work ethic and friendly nature. We have booked Avant Garde for a second shoot, so say no more.

I've also been at LewisLloyd's retro theme and I must say, I did not expect to dive into it so well: Avant Garde was fluent in modelling and expressed everything naturally, even though I kind of tried to get her off-beat. The dress helped immensely and she knew what to do with it. I am very happy to have shot with her. Thank you!

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Jade to create some memorable images at the Lewis Lloyd Vintage cars and wedding/ball gowns themed shoot. Jade was just sublime in her magnificent red wedding dress, posing with ease and creating a wide range of looks for me. Her self styled make up and hair were immaculate and fit perfectly with the retro theme. She instinctively knew the kind of editorial look I was after and always seemed to be one step ahead of my thoughts. She has a great personality, a winning smile and a determination to work hard. 100% recommended. I hope to shoot with her again. 😃

Avant Garde looked amazing in her wonderful red dress, and she was a joy to work with. I Capture some wonderful images in and around some lovely old Vintage cars.

It would be a pleasure to work with her Avant Garde again. Highly recommended.

Than you for a lovely and enjoyable shoot.:-)

Avant Garde came along to a wedding car themed group shoot that I organised with @lewislloyd.

She absolutely rocks. Impeccable make up, amazing outfit(s) and an incredible work ethic.

Clearly a team player, giving the photographers amazing opportunities and helping the other models out.

A real treat to work with her.

I have been extremely lucky to have been working with Avant Garde on a couple of shoots, she was the HMUA on big conceptual project with the sheer impossible task of looking after up to ten models on each day and her work was outstanding! These were not everyday make up looks, each model had a specific role based on veeek mythology, but she really brought out each character perfectly.

To round it up, her extensive model experience means that she can advise and support during shoots and she is just delightful to be around - you could not ever meet someone more professional and charming. Looking forward to many more projects together hopefully!

Fantastic shoot with Avant Garde today in response to her casting call. Pre-shoot communications were spot on with everything arranged quickly and efficiently. The shoot itself was a delight, Jade is a talented MUA and hairstylist with a superb selection of outfits. She poses naturally with little direction and consummate elegance. Plenty of laughs during the shoot without losing focus on achieving some great results An absolute pleasure to work with and highly recommended.

Mimi Masuimi

This was the first time I've worked with Jade, and it was bloody fantastic! I was her assisting MUA for the day, and it couldn't have gone any smoother! Communication throughout was brilliant, with plenty of giggles and laughs whilst we painted faces. Managed to get through 8 models in 4-5 hrs, which by my standard is amazing! The looks varied from beauty to creative, some taking longer than others naturally. But every look was professional and beautiful looking. Cannot wait to work with you again Jade, and hopefully model alongside each other one day too!

Highly recommend as MUA and model. She's an absolute stunner and darling.

Thank you again for being so awesome to work with!

Today Avant Garde joined our shoot as MUA. This ladies talents never seem to end. The make up was beautiful and perfect for what I needed. On what turned out to be a very long and wet shoot. I cannot say thank you enough for all your work hon!

PheonixRed

I met and worked with Jade with her MUA hat on at a large group shoot organised by Nedine. Jade was utterly lovely, and a true professional with incredible skills and kit. Alongside Mir, Jade managed to get through a ton of creative looks, nailing each one. She was also super knowledable and shared some really cool hints and tips on both make-up and modelling; I'm looking forwards to working with you again in any capacity!

Our friend, a jewellery maker, was in need of some images for jewellery competition, so we scheduled a last minute shoot and Jade kindly agreed to model, even though it was an outdoor shoot and the weather was just awful. Working with Jade is always the easiest things ever: she will style herself to perfection, bring some hand made fantastic outfits, pose wonderfully, climb on trees in high heels if needed, and all that is left is just press the shutter release button. Absolutely, wholeheartedly recommended.

We were running with Jade through the New Forest, only as we were all comfortable she had to wear heavy, big dresses, breath through the smoke bombs, walk through brambles and bushes and look pretty all the time. Which of course she did effortlessly. Always a huge pleasure to work with Jade. cannot recommend enough.

Had a brilliant, productive and fun shoot with the beautiful Avant Garde yesterday. Pre shot comms were perfect and she arrived on time despite a long drive.

We chatted about everything and anything and got to shooting. Jade is brilliant at her own make-up and styling. We had an idea and the shot required a dance pose. No problem at all, perfect and graceful every-time. I gave virtually no direction at all because she's such a talented actress/dancer/model/person!

We then progressed onto an idea I've been struggling with for ages and she just nailed it. Different looks, different styles and poses, Jade was effortless. Perfect and I couldn't be happier.

Jade arrived as a model and left as a friend. We had a blast and I hope to be working with her again as soon as I can (if she'll have me!).

Brilliant artist, brilliant person. Thank-you so much.

Avant Garde has been on my 'Want to work with list' since I joined PP and I finally had the very great pleasure of working with her for this shoot. The shoot was intended to focus on her dance and burlesque talents.

Before the shoot we had an excellent exchange of messages; in which she was clear, enthusiastic and supportive of my aims. She made it a pleasure to exchange views.

Avant Garde is a strikingly beautiful model and dancer. Very easy to work with, friendly and a real pleasure to talk with during the shoot. As a dancer she has grace, poise, the tone and strength to hold difficult poses and a ballet dancer's eye for the detail of those poses. She is also a true performer, focused on understanding what we are trying to achieve and delivering results. In short a perfect model.

Her burlesque costumes were simply stunning and it is hard not to let out a 'Wow' when she appears after a costume change. She makes them herself and I am in awe of what she has done to construct these.

Avant Garde is a real delight to work with and I left extremely happy having had a most enjoyable, productive shoot with a cooperative and truely delighful person.

I unreservedly and wholeheartedly recommend Avant Garde.

We didn't manage to cover all I wanted too in the shoot and have even intention of arranging a further shoot in the Autumn.

Jade thank you for making this such a memorable day.

Had the immense pleasure, not unfortunately to shoot but to watch this absolutely fantastic model at work in my studio. This is not only a stunning model but one with a real dedication to achieving results. Jade does not just model but performs in the studio. Her costumes are are out of this world coupled with the fantastic physique and striking looks and her ability to adapt to different genres, makes her a must to anyone wanting to create out of this world results. I will be booking her talents very soon. I could not more highly recommend her.

I have just got home from an amazing shoot with Avante Garde and I am still absolutely buzzing.

We had been discussing the shoot for some time and Jade's comms were perfect. From the outset it was clear that Jade knew exactly what I needed from the shoot and she did everything she possibly could to ensure that we achieved our goals.

The positive attitude carried into the shoot day itself. By the time I arrived at the studio Jade was already hard at work on her makeup and hair. Her preparation was simply breathtaking. Add in a number of beautiful costumes changes add a natural grace and the ability to hold very strong poses without direction and you have an absolute winner on your hands.

I was impressed that when I showed Jade the back of the camera she was looking for any minor flaws in her pose, she picked up things that I would never have noticed. Avante Garde has a professional dancers physique, her long limbs and tiny waist are a photographers dream and her flexibility made my eyes pop.

Added to all of that Jade is a joy to work with as she is so friendly and chatty. I had an absolutely wonderful shoot, the images were beyond my expectations. A simply wonderful, skilled and very beautiful model.

I could not recommend her any more highly. 100% on every possible count

Had my second shoot with Avant, shooting her and a friend for their acts. Pre-shoot communications were clear and we all knew what we were looking for.

On the day everything went well, and Avant Garde is a very professional model and performer. Without much direction know how to pose and position, making my life easy. It was a pleasure to shoot with her and highly recommend Avant as a model.

End results even just after the shoot - was great, really produced a great set of images.
