Achillia was a delight to work with and a 'team' approach was quickly achieved. She captured the style and mood planned for the shoot with ease. Highly recommend.

Achillia was excellent throughout the whole creative process of this recent home studio shoot.

The shoot itself required a large amount of upfront planning and communication and Achillia was very responsive and understanding of our requirements. She arrived on time, ready to shoot. After a quick cuppa, studio and wardrobe run through with Wendy's Wardrobe, we got right down to shooting with some elegant poses from Achillia. As planned we had several wardrobe changes and managed to get through a wide variety of looks in a short time, due to our collective upfront planning and Achillia's professionalism.

I would highly recommend booking and working with Achillia, and look forward to doing so myself in the future.

One of my all time favourite people to shoot with!

Humour, grace, a willingness to try all of my daft ideas and bring more to the shot! She throws some amazing fashionista shapes. Also a very talented horse rider and trainer, totally recommend!

I’m totally impressed with Achillia. Right from the planning stage to the ongoing communication and through to the shoot, she was a total professional. This was my first shoot with her yet on the day, we seemed to have known each other for ages. That’s no doubt down to her sunny personality and positive “can do” attitude.

We immediately were on the same wavelength and for any creative photographer that’s so important. So my job became easy. Not only did we achieve great results with ease but it was such a pleasant experience. The time passed quickly and it was so productive, at times a great laugh too. Achillia works so hard during the shoot to achieve your aims, she listens and converts any advice immediately into reality. I couldn’t have asked for more. I look forward to our next shoot and recommend her to anyone seeking modelling excellence.

My 3rd shoot with Achilla;

Not sure what else I can add on top of my previous high positive references;

Her communication is second to none with impeccable organisation.

Whenever she arrives she’s always full of enthusiasm with a great selection of outfits.

No amount of costume changes or poses is ever too much trouble.

I always enjoy our shoot together and hope to work with her again very soon

We recently had a half-day shoot with AchilliaModel & Hannah-Louise who both wanted to update their portfolios. Communication and collaboration was first class; and we discussed what we had in mind re costumes, hair & make-up.

Both had lovely personalities, full of enthusiasm and took direction very well.

Both were a pleasure to work with.

Thank you for the shoot and sicerely hope you like the images we took.

Vsry best wishes Jen & Barry xx

This was my 2nd shoot with Achillia;

Once again her communication upto the day of the shoot was excellent.

This time our shoot was a true collaboration of ideas.

A quality model with a creative vision and highly recommended !

Omg my second shoot with Achillia was even better than the first. Achillia is a natural organiser, plans well and makes the shoot the very best that it can be.

Her communication is perfect even to the point when she is stuck in traffic due to a crash, keeps me informed yet still gets to location 10 minutes early as she leaves buffer time for the unexpected. A true professional.

Her traveling wardrobe has doubled in size making her prepared for anything, her make up is beautifuly self done and she has mastered the art of producing 10 different hairstyles with just one hairband.

Oh......and she makes some great photographs.

Highly recomended

I replied to a casting Achillia model had placed.

We quickly arranged a shoot after exchanging a few messages.

Before the actual day her communication was timely and excellent in exchanging ideas but also offering suggestions to make the shoot successful.

On the day she arrived early and full of enthusiasm. The time flew by with nothing too much trouble during shooting. The outfits that she brought were perfectly ideal for the style of the shoot.

She is a confident lady who can pose or take direction when required.

If you lucky enough to work with her you can be assured of not only a fun and relaxed time but great images.

Highly recommended for both new and more experienced photographers.

Achillia responded to one of my castings and I’m so glad that she did. After batting messages back and forth we found ourselves sitting in her car in the Rivington valley wondering if the rain would stop. After half an hour the rain stopped, the sun came out and we started to lug wardrobe and props uphill to location. Of course the rain started again so we abandoned location and headed to the studio where we had a fabulous first shoot.

Achillia is a good communicator who doesn’t keep you hanging on waiting for a response. She is clear, efficient, polite and friendly with her comms making it a breeze for organising your project. She looks like her profile with no surprises on first meeting and follows the brief regarding hair, makeup and clothes. Her skin is fabulous resulting in easy shooting and editing. Achillia was at location ahead of time with a warm welcome and was ready to shoot. When we did get to studio she worked solidly with no long breaks or interruptions. She is enthusiastic and contributed to ideas that made each shot that little bit better. Her mood is very positive and she was respectful of me, the props and the location. Although we shot one to one that day I am certain that Achillia will be just as fabulous when part of a team and will fit in well with any group. She doesn’t dither with the references either and I had a shiny lovely reference within a couple of days.

Combining all of the above with her great look I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and highly recommend her to any photographer.

I had a great photo shoot with AchilliaModel and her beautiful horse at her riding stables which is surrounded by lovely countryside and some great locations. I came armed with props (which were discussed in advance to be sure they wouldn't scare her horse) for sets including vintage suitcases and some traditional archery equipment and AchilliaModel was keen to take on these set piece storytelling scenes and she very much suits the woman warrior style but is also equally adaptable to classy ballgowns and would also look very much in place in a stately home style setting. The three hour shoot flew by and a lot of images to process. I am keen to work with AchiliaModel again and have some different sets in mind and hopefully we can find a frosty, misty morning this autumn. Pre-shoot comms were excellent, which is good because the stables can be a bit tricky to find.

Had such an amazing shoot with Achillia model today. She was very happy to travel down to Stoke on trent.

From the moment we meet we warmed to each other.

Achillia is very friendly and a delight to work with.

She arrived on time and was amazing to photograph. Her posing was great and she was happy to experiment.

Near the end of the shoot we were fortunate to be greeted by some ponies who were happy enough to join the pictures. It was really fun.

I highly recommend Achillia Model and really cannot wait to work with her again.

What to say? If you're looking for a punctual, attentive, witty, chatty, intelligent and utterly striking model, look no further than Achillia.

She arrived bang on time with a suitcase stuffed full of outfits and props. We set about shooting and she effortlessly and gracefully moved though a series of poses, never missing a beat.

Great at taking direction and forthcoming with epic ideas when needed, the time with her flew by and we got some stellar results!

Time spent not hiring her, is time wasted, go do it now!! Thanks so much for a lovely shoot! Absolutely highly recommended :)

I love shooting with this lady! I can turn up with the most out there outfit and she's totally up for it, she knows her angles and can be so strong with intensity and then so delicate and fragile with her gaze. She is also an exceptional horsewoman if you want an experienced and capable rider who can also be aware of expression and composition whilst mid-gallop.

We have recorded a number of video tutorials together as well as being one of my main workshop riders.

I can wholeheartedly recommend this lady.
