I had so much fun working with Ayad we got on really well and he had some amazing ideas to shoot. I love even already gotten shot ls back and have enjoyed showing them off in my port !

We zoomed through several looks and as it was so easy to work together it flew by. I can only hope we get another chance to shoot and hope it will be soon.

I highly recommend!

Excellent first shoot with Ayad after trying to get something arranged for so long! But it was SO worth the wait.

Amazing person to work with, super laid back, setting a great working atmosphere.

I saw some fantastic results on the back of the camera and can’t wait to see more of the results.

Our last set in particular I’m really really proud of.

Thanks so much and looking forward to next time!

Second remote shoot with Ayad... And I think it’s very safe to say that we stepped up the game! :D Not only did I have more of an adapted setup since our first shoot (when I’d pretty much just started shooting remotely) but Ayad seems to have had a shoot every day since our first encounter and really come on stupendously as a photographer of “virtual” shooting methods. It’s been a revolutionary new thing for all us creatives this year - but I think Ayad is a prime candidate for someone who has really taken this new innovative means of working and made it into such a prolific way to create with his own inspired photographic interests teaming up with models far and wide. :D It’s been so lovely to see all his adventures with remote.

This time - we specifically worked around erotica as a theme. Ayad had seen some of my other examples (shot non-remotely mostly) so we got into discussions about how it might be possible to create interesting moods and settings for this genre working virtually. He was very respectful in his approach to everything, and welcomed my input to use the space and lighting to create something really “WOW!” Again; I felt like the teamwork vibe was really leading the way and we gelled well on a collaborative level to make these killer images happen. :D Initially: we discussed using two locations again (my home for the classic boudoir/natural environment, plus the office a little drive away). Yet in a whole half a day - we got sooo enthralled into the sets we were accomplishing at my home with the stunning images being produced that we never actually ended up shifting to the office! When you’re slaying it - you’re slaying it... What can we say haha! :P Sometimes just the smallest of changes made huge differences to the images too; and it was really worth just taking the time on a small change to the lighting arrangement/or my pose position (often the case for this genre of work!) Ayad was really appreciative of all of this too and with each slight adjustment; he had his highly visual brain on the job ready to seize some phenomenal shots. Naturally communicating with me on a professional level the whole time and giving great feedback - so I could work a particular pose that was working for example. We varied the shots up from bodyscape-style images with a delicate sensual vibe, to fuller body with expressions and more of the room coming into play both in the boudoir set and the walk-in wardrobe for something a little different. I honestly loved so much of what we shot that day - and I honestly think that this shoot is a prime example of how there are really very few limitations with remote working. And when you’ve got the people on board who have the eye/the drive for creativity (Ayad certainly does) then you can pull literally anything off with a fine outcome. :D

It was definitely a shoot of quality rather than quantity/excessive number of outfit/set changes - but the work was really stellar by the end and it was a “virtual” high-five kinda shoot for sure! Fortunately; we were blessed with nice natural light on the day of our shoot too - which added a lot to the mood... But why stop there when you can add gels and make the background sparkle/put a temperature on the photos? Seriously: we got proper arty haha! Ayad took this all in his stride and just nailed the settings to perfection as he took the shots. For some, it was indeed more about the light skimming off the body where the millimetres on an angle make incredible difference... For other frames; it might have been making a feature of an accessory (like crystal lingerie) and getting the balance right with everything going on in the shot. We followed the “less is more” logic of the erotic style images - and subsequently reaped the benefits of insane results! Mission most certainly accomplished with end products that really get the viewer thinking! :)

Ayad remains a true gentleman who shows a lot of courtesy and manners on his shoots. He’s very relaxed and easy-going as a person - someone who would get on with anyone! I really enjoy working with him and would be very happy indeed to give him another recommendation as per our latest shoot. :)

Thank you so much Ayad!

I had a lovely first booking with Ayad at the awesome Saracen house studio in Milton Keynes recently.

We discussed ideas, pre comms were good. We had fab assistance from the studio owner meaning we could focus on our images. We worked well as a team, the shoot flowed and we had a great laugh whilst getting good pictures.

Lovely guy / definitely recommend!

I had a lovely relaxed shoot with Ayad last week. He both shared ideas as well as letting me pick outfits etc. Despite our limited location we still got some fantastic portraits which I'm keen to share. Very kind and sweet person, would shoot with him again :)

Ayla

I had a 3hr remote shoot with Ayad. I’d worked with him before in person so was excited to shoot again as it had been a while!

Ayads pre comms were excellent and we organised our shoot easily and efficiently.

Ayad was relaxed, chatty and very good with operating the controls and pressing the right buttons! We got some great shots and I’ve already seen some excellent edits.

Highly recommended

I had a wonderful first shoot with Ayad - shot remotely from the U.K. to my sunny home in the Mediterranean!

Ayad was great to communicate with pre shoot and I felt instantly that we would get on.

The shoot itself flowed really well and we got some lovely images that I can’t wait to share.

Highly recommended and I hope I can persuade him into another remote shoot at one of my other locations soon ;)

I loved to work remotely with AA Photography!

I'm so happy he reached out and we had the chance to shoot with my best friend and fellow model Scarlet Begonias.

Our remote shoot went super smoothly, AA operated my tethering software very smoothly and we were able to capture some top notch images to be shown soon on my port! Would work with again, - recommend

I had a remote shoot with Ayad today who requested my hippy house theme which I really enjoy! It was great timing as I have some new furniture for new sets as well. I sent him some photos beforehand so he knew what he had to work with. On the shoot Ayad was very chilled and super happy to go with the flow and my suggestions.

We got through lots of looks and I love the results! We ended up with some very classy painterly-looking images so there's a great variety of styles from the shoot. The photos look great!

Would be happy to work with Ayad again.

Shot for the first time with AA photography yesterday and we worked together remotely. The communication beforehand was great and precise to help towards arranging a great shoot! Ayad was a very friendly and lovely person to work with,I really enjoyed shooting with him!

Ayad has some wonderful work and the first looks I’ve seen from our shoot have been lovely,I look forward to seeing the results! I would absolutely recommend working with Ayad.

I had a great remote shoot with Ayad the other day !

He was great with pre-comms! He was friendly, easy to get on with and professional! We got some lovely natural light images and I have seen a couple of great edits so far!

Thank you for a great shoot and I look forward to working with you again remotely or face to face!! Definitely recommended by me! Thank you again Ayad!!!

I shot with Ayad this week for two hours on a remote session- our second shoot (with a 7 year gap in the middle!!) wow! Ha!

The focus/ theme was shooting my HB lingerie! We made our way through most of it in the time we had and got some super cool images.

As has been said all along, remote shoots are not a replacement for 'in person shoots' but, as has been proved now over and over- they are a fabulous and creative alternative while we are unable to shoot face to face.

Thank you Ayad, hope to work with you again one day (remotely or in person!) so we can work through more of my lingerie collection!! ;)

I applied for a casting to do a remote shoot and was really pleased to be accepted

I have had a few remote shoots during lockdown that have been really successful and this was no exception. Time flew by, we worked through three sets in a short space of time and got some fantastic results, working with the natural light creating some awesome shadows

Thank you for a great shoot.

Highly recommended from me

My remote shoot with Ayad was simply brilliant! :D I actually enjoyed even the pre-shoot comms from the beginning as he came across a really cool guy with so much enthusiasm... I was so much looking forward to meeting and working together for our first time ever! And I felt blessed that he was willing to give my remote shooting system a whirl.

We booked in a half day with a view to shoot half at my plain studio location, and half at my home. This allowed us plenty of time to go between locations and still have a good shoot flow that wasn’t rushed or anything. We talked in-depth about some ideas we wanted to try and achieve so by the time our shoot came around - we had a good schedule set aside to get the best out of our time. We hit things off with some lovely portraits ranging from simple beauty to a bit more dramatic in styling and makeup. Then we had the chance to execute some EPIC nudes when the sun came out! We literally struck gold as it was beaming so strong to create all sorts of fun shadows for us to work with across figure-nude poses. Ayad handled the settings and technicalities with no effort at all - strong sun can be especially difficult to manage when ensuring you’re not losing the highlights etc. But Ayad took it with a pinch of salt and the images looked utterly beautiful. Back at my home - we went mad with styles that included a bit more of a glamour/lifestyle vibe and crazy shapes too! In all honesty - I felt like the time just flew... And there’s so many more things we could’ve shot. I’m absolutely certain that if we shoot again we’ll have yet another rick and roll time. Plus Ayad is yet to experience my brand new rainbow stairs! :D So as you can gather - I really did enjoy working with this lovely gent and will happily jump to the opportunity arising again.

On top of getting dozens of pretty pictures in the bag - we benefited from a lovely on-shoot rapport and gelled very quickly which always makes a shoot 10 times as enjoyable. :) He’s a very sweet person: respectful on all levels and very easy going. I got a good vibe from Ayad from the very start and my feeling was the same right up to saying our goodbyes and logging out of Zoom. I found Ayad also greatly enthusiastic; which rubs off on you as a model! So when the bounce starts to happen and the pictures roll in - you’re all just in *that zone* happy and giving it your all. :D

Thank you so much for such a splendid shoot Ayad - I can’t wait to see more of your edits!

A recommendation from me without any hesitation!

Ayad applied to the eShoot casting that myself and J Black Photographic were doing during lockdown.

His communications were fast and effective, quickly conveying the type of images he wanted.

He was polite during the conversation, I couldn't have asked for anything more!

Thankyou for taking part in our eShoots!

Had my first shoot in London with Ayad and it went really well! The images at the back of the camera looked great and he was very easy to work with! I am really looking forward to seeing the final images and the video! I would definitely love to work with him again and would highly recommend other models working with him!

Had a remote shoot with Ayad today, remote shooting requires patience and a bit of getting used to but ayad picker it up easy within ten minutes of using the software.

We shot some portraits with ring light and fashion stuff against s white wall studio style.

Images look lovely at the back of the camera!

100 recommended from me.
