I had a fantastic shoot yesterday with Akasha, absolutely brilliant model. We got to explore a castle/hotel and it was a fantastic mix of her ideas and my ideas in all kinds of interesting and fun locations.

Akasha has so much energy and put so much into the shoot, she was also very friendly and easy to work with. I think we got some great images from the day :-)

Definitely recommended and I hope to work with her again.

Jana is an exceptional model, fun, friendly and seems to just understand an idea.

we shot together on my portrait project so the shoot was short but with models as good as she is, the shoot didn't need to be any longer.

I look forward to November when we will shoot again on some huge concept work.

Not sure what I can add these these amazing references about Akasha except to say that they are all true. Hottest day of the year, and her suggestion was nudes on the beach. I had my doubts that we would find a location suitable with the amount of people about, but when we arrived it was perfect. Secluded just enough for Akasha to produce a set of stunning art nude poses on the rocks. Akasha will continue to pose until you tell her to stop. She uses the environment to her advantage to produce some unique images. The day was completed with a cream tea and another set of nudes in a Castle garden. Very professional in all communications. Knows what she is doing and is very at easy with her own nudity. Akasha is a rare treat, I found her great company really enjoyed shooting her. Havent stopped smiling since. Highly recommended.

Jana made the long trip north to shoot with me for a long weekend.

We shot on location and i dragged her all over Northumberland to make some cool images and she never complained once !

She poses well and takes direction where needed with nothing to much trouble.

She was the perfect guest, great company and a bloody good laugh.

Welcome back here anytime:)

Today was my shoot with Akasha, and right from the outset I knew is was going to be stunning. The pre-shoot communication was excellent and this allowed the shoot to flow. Akasha has her own ideas and works immensely hard in striving to achieve them, she also put the same amount of energy in mine too.

Akasha is very flexible and came well prepared with a superb collection of outfits & lingerie.

I look forward to the future and working with Akasha again and recommend her to any photographer.

Just had a 'fantastic' Shoot with Jana at my home Studio,she is a real joy and thrilling experience to work with - which I hope will come over in the pictures we shot.

Jana is incredibly versatile and enthusiastic - has some great ideas of her own,but was equally happy to work with my ideas, bringing with her a vast collection of outfits etc.

Love to work with you again, and recommend you to all Photographers - Thanks for a super Shoot. Martin.

This lady is fearless! She will climb up anything! She will wear anything! She will pose anywhere! Akasha rocks up with more clothes than New Look. She's mega confident, super organised and uber professional. You have to be on your A game as she's a perfectionist - show her a shot on the back of the camera and she finds the tiniest detail to improve her pose. We shot from 10 in the morning until about 5 in the afternoon, and during this we shot: some boudoir (until she announced "this is boring, let's get outside and shoot some proper stuff!"), on a staircase (with some improvised lighting), outside in sheds and fields and doorways (including posing nude with only a tree seperating us from at least 2 groups of people having afternoon tea). We ended up on a castle roof, and these were probably the best shots of the day. Akasha is a model professional. I bet she's good at taking penalties too...!

Akasha contacted me after reading (in a PP thread) that for some time I've wanted to try shooting ordinary people, or interesting characters that just happen to be around the streets, but it's something that I think most people, including myself, find hard to do. Akasha helped my shoot in a dual role as part-model, part assistant. At first I thought it was going to be quite a nerve-wracking experience but in fact it was highly enjoyable and I'd like to give it another go sometime.

I had the most enjoyable shoot yesterday, unlike most other shoots this was such an easy and relaxed morning of ideas and testing different set ups and ideas, I wanted to work on something new and Akasha came with loads of ideas and input that made the morning more of a play time than a hard working shoot. We did manage to shoot some images between chatting and drinking tea yet I feel that despite this relaxed approach we finished with much more images that stood out than a normal shoot.

100% recommended and hope to see her again soon :)

Obviously, I have shot with English models, Welsh, Scottish, Irish decent, Estonian, Polish, but never a German. Don't mention the war, I did once, but I think I got away with it :)

Where do I start? I have to echo what PhilGW said, I have never known anyone so organised, everything was in its own bag, case or box, organisation bordering on OCD.

First off was a set in my cellar, where I had still not shot after three years in this house. This was my favourite set as it was the only one that wasn't influenced by alcohol, the one after was a train crash and the ones the following morning were with a hangover. All great fun tough, I have to say, brilliant sense of humour, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't offend her :)

I was made to shoot some with natural light, something I rarely do, but I am sure, when I get to edit a few, they will be fine as Akasha was so patient while I faffed about with a reflector.

All in all, a wonderful time, hopefully to be repeated soon. I have no cheese left, I think she lives on it, whereas I am going to have to live without it now.

My dogs gave a huge Claws Up and are looking forward to the next time. Boris is very partial to a nice bottom, a bit like his Dad, he had to be stopped making contact with his cold wet nose a few times today. God, I wish I was a dog, the things you can get away with :)

So, roll on next time, can't wait. A great model, funny as they come, scary, but CUTE. Highly recommended.

Akasha is so much larger than life! :) She is great fun to work with and very easy to get on with which I find always helps make shoots more productive. She showed me her secret castles and we had an awesome day full of shooting when we got there.

Akasha was more than happy to try out any idea I had, no matter how odd. She is extremely comfortable in front of the camera, takes direction well and can pull some great shapes. I reckon we got some great results working together. This was one of the most fun shoots I have ever been on and it was such a shame when the day had to end. I'm just looking forward to the next time we can make images together.....

Akasha, possibly the best prepared model I've ever worked with. Pre shoot comms were excellent, styles discussed and outfits sorted, yet despite a last minute visit to the dentist prior to the shoot she arrived on time! (that rarely happens!)

Her wit and sarcasm is first class, I couldn't operate her sweetener dispenser so having then questioned my ability to use a camera she proceeded to make her own cup of tea in MY favourite mug!

What a girl, a huge selection of outfits (she didn't wear or need many) and we were into shooting, she posed with precision to get the perfect shot, we discussed ideas as we worked and she was tireless in her effort to get everything right, which we did!

Great girl, a hard worker, perfectionist and all with her great sense of humour. An enjoyable and successful shoot. Top Marks!

Stu Freeman

I worked with Akasha at Studland group shoot. A fun, professional, hardworking model. More than willing to go the extra mile for that shot. Climbs trees, gets wet and doesn't moan.

Highly recommended.

Very good. Very good indeed :)

Akasha contacted me regarding a shoot a little while ago and we finally got together yesterday. She travelled a fair distance to me and had to stop over too, but is now a fully converted "Isle of Wighter", think she fell in love with the place!! When Akasha contacted me I was unsure that the type of images I took would be her thing, but Wow, how wrong could I be!! Fully committed, threw herself head long into everything we tried (including the sea), ended up climbing a cliff, rocks, and all this after 4 hours in a studio, bent and twisted in all directions, the outcome being, we ended up with some stunning images. I now have the task of trying to somehow narrow them down to forward on, not an easy job!! Overall a fab day, in the studio and on location, great weather and even better company. If you want a model who enjoys what she does and is good at it, book Akasha, you wont be disappointed.

Highly recommended.

I have a feeling she might be back :-)

Enjoyed a marathon shoot today with Akasha : This was an 8 hour epic yet the time seemed to flash by as we kept up a sizzling pace and had a blast! Akasha is full of creative and physical energy with an infectious enthusiasm. Her communications, pre-shoot, in-shoot and post shoot are second to none and she has a great personality. All in all she's great to work with and highly recommended. Thank you Akasha !

Jody Wright Photography

Akasha is an outstanding model, kept in constant touch with regards to ideas she had and surprised me with some amazing concepts when we actually started shooting! she's stunning a good laugh and amazing just how flexible she is! we got some amazing shots that i'm looking forward to editing!

we are already in talks about our next shoot and cant wait for things to be finalised! highly recommend shooting with Akasha if you get the chance!

Asmodeus

Had the delightful pleasure of shooting Akasha today. Arrived early, ready and willing to get straight down to work. Very intelligent and creative model who I hope to work with again in the near future.

What a crazy and lovely lady! :) Our shoot was arranged in the morning and shot the same evening in sunny (yeh right...) Weston Super Mare, which is as we all know, the centre of the known universe!

We had a nice chat about the war over a cup of coffee and then she took all her clothes off and ran around her house like a crazy German while I hid behind pot plants and took outrageous photos!

All in all we had such a fun time, bouncing ideas about which mainly involved no clothes, boobs, a hook in the ceiling, a mirror, some handcuffs and a weird walking stick with a snakes head....

Kinda awesome really, but seriously, shes great, and a blast was had! :) I look forward to being mental together again soon! :)

Danke verrückt Deutsch Dame xx

Akasha was an absolute pleasure to work with. From her professionalism to her bubbly, outgoing personality, the whole shoot was productive and fun. During the shoot, she came up with various ideas along with mine and we worked them into the shoot. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again :)
