I have had the pleasure of working with the amazing Amber this morning on my Edinburgh photography tour.

After being contacted a few months ago, we had arranged to shoot at the hotel I am staying at in Edinburgh.

Pre shoot communications had been nothing short of first class in the run up to us shooting. Amber had driven the width of the country to shoot with me and arrived bang on time and full of enthusiasm.

After the obligatory welcome cuppa and a nice chat, Amber needed little time to perfect her hair and makeup as she arrived pretty much with everything on point.

Outfits, lingerie sets and styling etc...Amber has it nailed!

In front of the camera lens...well what can I say other that she's totally at home. Amber moves effortlessly from pose to pose with me needing to give hardly any direction at all.

We created some superb images this morning and we have only just scratched the surface of what we want to shoot.

A awesome 10 out of 10 ! One of the most amazing models I've had the pleasure of working with a personality to match her stunning looks. Hopefully one day we will be able to work together again.

Many thanks Paul :-)

What a joy and privilege to work with the wonderful Amber. Such a lovely lady and ever so cheery and positive – an inspiration. As if that wasn’t enough, she absolutely delivers the goods. Great ideas and the ability to see them through in spades. No direction needed! In addition to her enthusiasm Amber also brought a great selection of clothing items and her wigs, which were fun to include and gave a wonderful alternative perspective to her look. Put simply – outstanding!

I have long needed to work with Amber, ever since hearing other photographers extolling her ability. Nothing had prepared me for the charismatic, friendly person who turned up, and then transformed into every character, bodily expression and emotional state I asked of her. She is absolutely professional, incredibly patient, utterly versatile, refreshingly creative and with a firmly grounded, ever inquisitive artistic soul. It is pure joy to watch and think with Amber to make artistic ideas come alive. A day of fun, fascinating conversation and laughter, with a huge dollop of artistic collaboration. Working with her is a required experience for any photographer to be able to claim they have lived. For my part, I simply have to work with her again.

Working with Amber was amazingly rewarding and very productive. Pre-shoot communications were excellent, especially as we were coordinating with flights. She arrived very well prepared for our shoot, with a variety of outfits that worked perfectly for the plan we'd discussed.

Her energy and creativity were great during the whole shoot, covering several varied sets with very different lighting. Her posing was seamless with wonderful sequences of interesting and dynamic poses.

Amber is clearly very experienced and professional in her modelling, as well as being just a great person to get to spend time with, and I am delighted with the images from our shoot.

I highly recommend Amber to other photographers, and look forward to working with her again

More than half a year ago I came across Amber's port, and reading about her fate and her fight against it.

I tried very hard to persuade her to not stop, to continue and even invited her to Switzerland when she would know that she would have won the fight.

And she agreed!

And I must admit, that, after all those years and several hundred shootings it turned out that when she finally got here and we after lot's of talking like old friends started shooting, it became my most remarkable shooting to date!

Amber is so full of positive energy, hugging live and every images says YES to live!

Thank you so much to having had the chance to shoot with you, to talk to you and also to hope that this can be repeated again once more!!

We knew even without may words what we wanted to get taken and she is someone where you just say roll and off she goes. So remarkable!!

And now it's time to browse through our harvest and enjoy the results!

Thank you Amber for this extraordinary event and the chance after all those month to finally meet and create!!

A fantastic shoot with Ms Castle this morning.

Lots of philosophical discussion about the nature of modeling and photography with tea and biscuits. What more could a photographer ask for? Oh yeah! The shooting itself. Fan feckin tastic. It's so difficult for me to get a bad image of Amber (I didn't actually try, of course), her poses flowed from one to another seamlessly and I cannot recommend her higly enough. She's fearless and an amazing model.

Absolutely worth your effort to go shoot with her.

I had wanted to work with Amber since I joined pp way back last year and today I got that chance. And wow what a great woman and model Amber is and our short time together flew past, oh and managed to get over 250 photos.

Amber is absolutely awesome and poses without any direction, just as well as I am hopless at giving it. She came to Candy Heart with a lot of different outfits and a couple of wigs as well.

We got so many great photos from lengerie up to art nude and bodyscapes and a lot of chat and laughter as well.

I wholeheartedly recommend Amber to all look forward to hopefully working with her again next year.

Thank you Amber for an awesome shoot

Life's journey is full of mistakes, some you correct, some you don't. I've watched this lady for near 3 years trying to pluck up the confidence and skill to shoot her. Then she temporarily deactivated, and I kicked myself, and am so thankful she returned. We were on.

It transpires Amber's not just a highly talented model, she's gentle, beautiful, funny and very intelligent, a joy to be with. Conversation flowed as easy as Amber made her awesome poses look. Fashion outside, nude in a window, lingerie on a table, a shirt with a blind, she knows her body and how to work the light.

Definitely want to work with her again and can't recommend her highly enough.

Thank you for a perfect day Amber.

Words can't express how much I love working with Amber, a fantastic model who has a heart of pure gold. A true artist.

Amber is simply one of the loveliest people you will ever meet. And to shoot with her is an absolute delight. I love working with her - she has boundless energy and such a wonderful way about her.

So grateful to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Amber. I hope we get to do it again many more times the future. Thanks Amber for a lovely day :-)

Amber is a graceful, artistic and very talented model who knows her body and has such great confidence you can’t fail to create a great image together. Superb pre-shoot comms, thoughtful and insightful Amber takes your brief to a new level. We had a great shoot and it went oh-so-quickly and had fun along the way creating our narrative. Thank you Amber, I hope I get to work with you again some day.

I was lucky enough to able to meet up again with Amber on one of her whistle-stop visits down to London at the weekend.

As with our previous shoot it was a really enjoyable time, good banter and conversation along with some great shots.

Amber is truly a lovely lady, fun to work with, charming, witty, artistic and has a stunning figure.

I sincerely hope to work with her again & again - I may even get up to Scotland one day ...

Many thanks Amber

I've wanted to work with Amber Castle for a long time and finally I realised that ambition today! Working with her was everything I'd hoped for and more. She is simply awesome!

Amber is such an enormously talented model. She looks amazing, is full of incredible poses and wonderful expressions, and to top it all, she's one of the loveliest people I've ever had the pleasure to work with. I couldn't be happier with the images we created and I'm really excited about working through them.

Would I recommend Amber? Absolutely! Amber is fabulous and I'm really hoping I get the chance to work with her again soon.

Thanks Amber for an amazing day :-)

What can I say about Amber that hasn't been said, today we had our second shoot, this time it was a little more organised than our last impromptu shoot :) Pose after pose Amber is on the money just flowing with every shutter click, so much emotion packed into every action. Awesome model, and totally honoured to be able to call Amber a friend. If you get chance to shoot with Amber then take it, you won't regret it.

At last had a shoot with Amber. What a great person, easy to work with and full of energy.

Confident on and off camera, we worked through a range of styles. The time flew by and really enjoyed the whole shoot. Highly recommended.

A lovely impromptu shoot with the ethereal, creative & talented Amber this weekend past. Topped off with pleasant conversation, tea and Jaffa cakes. Perfect. What more could one want in life ? Thank you for the visit Amber and I hope to have the chance to be graced with your presence again ! x

My first shoot with Amber today.

Earlier in the week we chatted, and after we'd agreed to shoot, within a few hours had booked flights, arranged shoot location and sorted out what we were going to shoot (basically wing it)

Now, after a combined total of about 950 miles (the majority being made by Amber), copious cups of coffee, plenty of laughs and great conversation I can now say what an absolutely brilliant shoot it was.

Amber is a fantastic model with a great personality, toned figure, excellent sense of humour and above all is easy and fun to work with.

Not only can she pose effortlessly on her own but takes direction well and produces images with feeling and grace.

I feel honoured to have be given the chance to work with Amber and I'm so pleased with the results from the shoot - I pretty sure she is too ...

Would I recommend her - Yes, without hesitation

Many thanks Amber :-)

Here's to the next shoot ...

A 2nd shoot with Amber. This time in the freezing cold whilst being naked on the even colder wing of an old US Navy plane. This lovely lady will go the extra mile to get the job done.

Thanks Amber.
