Gosh! Is it really two years since my last shoot with Allegra? But... I made up for lost time on Saturday. I did a duo shoot with her and Siggy, and it was a belter!

Having worked with Allegra several times before I knew that she would be ideal for an acro-style duo shoot. She is toned, physically strong and very supple, and her circus background means that she has loads of experience with acro-style poses. And she isn't 'arf creative - show her an idea, she'll work out the dynamics, and then she'll run with it and put her own spin on it.

On top of all that she's organised, reliable and 100% professional in every respect. Hang on. I haven't finished yet. She also has a sparking personality and a great sense of humour, so working with her is not only very productive but is also hugely enjoyable.

EDIT: One particular thing really impressed me on Saturday was that Allegra had never met Siggy before so they had not been able to practice the ultra-demanding poses, but the two of them worked out all the dynamics - the 'how the heck do we get into that shape' - on the spot, and they gave me a load of superb pictures.

I had an idea for a shoot that would require a model with specialist skills (including acrobatics and other circus-style skills), and having worked with Allegra a few times before I knew she would be the perfect person. And she was!

True to form, she worked tirelessly and enthusiastically for several sequences of physically-demanding pictures. Also, given her range of skills and her creativity, her input was invaluable - she came up with ideas and tweaks that I hadn't thought of. And her ideas worked. I was delighted with the resultant pictures.

To sum up... Excellent model, very physically fit, unique skills, experienced, creative, reliable and 100% professional in every respect. A pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of photographing Allegra via an online shoot. She conducted herself in a very professional manner and she posed effortlessly. Allegra was a true joy to work with!

I would recommend Allegra to anyone, she is a wonderful model!

Allegra very kindly agreed to contribute to my Helmut Newton-inspired “Lockdown Selfie” project. The shoot concept is very simple - two identical poses, one clothed and one nude - but the execution can be challenging and I’m extremely grateful to Allegra for the time and effort she spent on putting together two images with such wonderful style, poise and pose. Allegra kindly agreed to let me post-process the images and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results that we’ve created together. Thank you so much and I can't wait for us to be able to shoot together in person! 😀

I had a brilliant shoot with Allegra at my home studio. Allegra is an excellent model, very pretty , friendly and intelligent. She arrived on time with a bag full of outfits. She uses her circus skills to poses highly creativity with great strength and balance which result in some amazing images.

I highly recommend Allegra to other photographer, you will not be disappointed. I look forward to many more shoots with her in the future.

"Athletic Art-nude" was my brief. Allegra delivered - in spades.

This was our first shoot and it exceeded my expectations. 'Circus Girl' was what I expected, a beautifully refined young lady is what I got. I also expected aerial skills, art-nude skills, a slim and toned physique and a willingness to work hard - tick, tick, tick and a double tick.

What I did not expect was that exceptionally beautiful face and eyes with a language all of their own.

Finally, I got a really lovely person who was easy to work with and a pleasure to have in my studio.

Allegra is highly skilled as an aerial performer, yet down to earth and an exceptional model. I have absolutely no hesitation giving her my highest commendation.

A fantastic first shoot with Allegra. We got on like a house on fire - a perfect balance of tea drinking, conversation and creativity!

In front of the camera Allegra makes beautiful shapes, whichever way up she is :-). She has the strength and balance to hold and refine her amazing repertoire of poses, and a delightful confidence in exploring new ones. She also bought along a great selection of quirky props and fashion items, allowing us to shoot some great fashion and portraiture, as well as her superb athletic poses. A highly productive shoot and a load of fabulous images made. Very much look forward to doing this again.

In short, Allegra is a delight to work with, and to be with. I can highly her recommend to all.

Allegra kindly attended the group shoot we ran at The Gym late last year. I was so impressed with her skills I just had to book her for a full day shoot at my studio. She did not disappoint.

Allegra is one of the most amazing models I have ever worked with. Her skills, aerial ability and flexibility are simply beyond belief. I spent most of the day wondering if what I was seeing through the lens was actually happening!

Not only this but she is also the most lovely of people. A joy to work with, a pleasure to spend time with and a hoot to chat to. I really cannot recommend Allegra highly enough. I simply cannot wait to work with her again.

Luckily Allegra was able to step in at short notice after I had a cancellation for a shoot arranged at Inspire Studios. I had previously noted her profile as an accomplished circus performer and acrobat and she was already on my WTWW list for 2020, so she was the first person I approached.

Pre-shoot comms were excelent and very constructive. I got a good feeling that we would work together well.

Allegra arrived at Inspire precisely as planned. As we had little time to plan, we first talked over what we would do.

Allegra was a joy to work with. She is althetic and flexible and was enthusiastic to tackle the challenging gymnastic poses we chose to attempt and to work with me get them as right as we could, even when that ment multiple repetitions of strenuous poses. I much enjoyed the relaxed and creative four hours together.

Recommended? Absolutely.

Thank you for your efforts and for making this a much enjoyed and productive shoot Allegra. I hope we will arrange a Part 2.

I had a shoot with Allegra today doing a combination of portraits, art nude and silhouettes.....very very pleased with the shoot, Allegra is an excellent model to work with, professional and hard working. I would recommend her highly and I would be happy to work with her again in the future. Thanks for a great shoot :) !

Another great shoot with Allegra today. Funky fashion, a little bit edgy and some great outfits. We also dabbled with some video trying to re-create an iconic clip....can't wait to get started on it. I really can't recommend this fine young lady highly enough. Looking forward to arranging the next shoot in the New Year.

I had the pleasure of working with Allegra at Natural Light Spaces.

What a productive and enjoyable shoot it was.

The shoot was for my current Aerial project and as Allegra is an expert on the trapeze, she was a great choice for this project.

She is also an expert in acrobatics and circus skills too.

During the shoot Allegra created some great shapes on the trapeze and then when we moved on to some floor work was again very energetic and able to move easily into strong dynamic shapes.

Allegra is easy to get along with and works hard to give you great images.

A nice person and easy to get alone with too.

I hope I can work with her again soon – highly recommended.

Thank you again Allegra.

Allegra turned up as arranged but to my horror, on a very dull day there was a power stoppage. No sooner had she arrived the lights came on, what a great omen for yet another great shoot. We tried a few new themes and our 7th shoot was a ball. Allegra is a total pro and I adore shooting with her.

I will admit that I haven't yet explored totally Allegra's acrobatic skills, but I do find her totally mesmerising in front of the camera. I love the way she poses, and the look. Next shoot already booked. I can't recommend this model highly enough. Looking forward to the next one!

I specifically approached Allegra as her profile and acrobatic skills matched with some ideas I wanted to explore.

From the outset Allegra was fully tuned in to what I was looking for and through an exchange of ideas and images a shoot plan was developed. Allegra arrived early complete with props and outfits and our shoot was underway without any fuss. The images were just what I wanted and this is largely down to Allegra's willingness to work to achieve the results.

Above all Allegra is professional, fun and a lovely person.

She is fully recommended and I hope to work with her again in the near future.

I had my first, but certainly not last shoot with Tilly at Natural Light Spaces yesterday.

What an enjoyable and productive shoot it was. I had only recently seen her portfolio and knew immediately that we could work well together. I was really pleased when she agreed to make the long drive to the studio and shoot with me.

We shot a variety of styles from portraiture to art nude, but my main reason for working with Tilly was her acrobatic and circus skills. Her posing ability is wonderful and she posed freely with little direction needed. When shooting her acrobatic work, she really came into her own. You could see the concentration and skill involved in her poses, her professionalism and desire to create amazing art. This lady has talent!

Tilly is also a really nice person and fun to work with. So easy to get along with. She worked with my ideas and threw in her own as we went to ensure together we shot some wonderful images.

I couldn’t be happier with what we achieved and am really looking forward to editing the images.

I can only give the highest recommendation for Tilly. You will not be disappointed if you book a shoot with her.

Simon Carter

I had a fabulous, creative, chilled and highly productive shoot with Allegra.

It quickly became clear that she's a major talent. Not just beautifully toned and physically highly skilled but genuinely expressive in front of the camera.

Then there's the other stuff: professional, likeable, intelligent, easy to get on with. Totally recommended - book her while you can.

Stu Freeman

I did a duo shoot with Allegra and Ellissa Crircus. Superbly professional in both thier performance and thier approach. Maximum effort from both and great results, the sort that leave photgraphers collapsed on the floor. Highly recomended both individually and as a pair.

GSC4X

Another great shoot with Allegra. New outfits and a few changes of styles we have dabbled with before and more awesome images. Allegra is as always reliable and an absolute delight to work with. Effortless poses and fantastically quick outfit changes means my time is incredibly productive. As I have said before, I can't fault this young lady and look forward to continuing our work together. My highest possible recommendation.

GSC4X

Another great shoot, this is becoming a habit! A fine young lady who I look forward to making more magic with. New levels were uncomplicated and again a breeze to work with. Awaiting next available dates, yes, hardly finished one and looking forward to the next. I cannot recommend this model highly enough!

Second shoot with Tilly. Another good 'un!

This time we concentrated mainly on pictures which showed off Tilly's acrobatic skills and athleticism. Her circus background and physical fitness were very evident; the shoot went brilliantly and I'm absolutely delighted with the pictures (again!).

After our last shoot, my reference included comments about Tilly's excellent communications, reliability, lovely personality and good sense of humour (in other words, she's a pleasure to work with!), but one thing I omitted to mention last time that she has very, very good skin. That makes editing sooooo easy!

Thanks Tilly - another productive and enjoyable day!
