I have waited over three years to shoot with Amanita, thought she had given up at one point, robbing me of the chance. So I was absolutely thrilled to be able to shoot with her today. She is everything I hoped for and then some. A genuinely beautiful person, inside and out. We spent a very pleasant sunny afternoon shooting in the forest, climbing stuff, dodging muggles. Amanita was willing, affable and able do just about everything (need to remember chalk next time for slippery tree trunks).

There are about 160 reasons why I can't shoot with Amanita every day, each is 1760 yards long. Other than that, she is perfect.

Thanks Amanita, till next time. :)

Although I haven't worked with Amanita for some time, I was thrilled to be one of the last to work with her and her 36 week 'Bump'. We spent a couple of hours at our good friend Mark Peers home studio, experimenting with lighting set ups including gels on a grey wall.

Amanita is the most lovely of models, so very easy to talk to and discuss the shoot plan, and being patient whilst we set up and perfected the lighting and sets. She is so body confident at full nude level, poses effortlessly, takes direction when required and contributes throughout the whole shoot.

It was an immense pleasure to photograph her at this very special time of her and her partner's life, and I thoroughly recommend her to all levels of photographers.

I'm looking forward to working with Amanita again and also seeing her new daughter : )

Lets start with a massive thank you to Amanita for a great shoot and for giving me some amazing looking images to edit and put my individual touch to for that final finish.

I arranged to do the bump shoot, and what a great afternoon it was, here is a model who is extremely personable despite us never meeting before, but we got on from the word go. She has an ease of movement in pose and expression, so after the obligatory tests, the shoot was underway and superb from start to finish. Just a joy to work with Amanita maintaining a professional but friendly persona, at all times. Having a laugh and a good bit of banter are for me an important part of any shoot a the enjoyment and connection between myself and my subject to me shows in the images produced! and take it from me Amanita, gives bucket loads of both.

To finish with, my time and budget was extremely well spent and I have already discussed with Amanita a second 121 shoot, this being sooner rather than later. I thoroughly recommend Amanita to all photographer levels, as you will be working with a model who works with you, not against you!

Thanks again can't wait until next time.

I'm always looking for interesting, creative and talented models to work with, and Amanita certainly meets those requirements, and then the fact that she is pregnant added that extra bit of interest.

Amanita was extremely professional and friendly in all her communications, just as she was on the shoot. She has a great look, and wonderful hair, and produced some super poses to fit in with my compositions. I would highly recommend her, and would definitely book her again.

Thank you Amanita, and all the best for the rest of your pregnancy.

I had been wanting to shoot with this exceptional lady in what seems like forever, and I can tell you that she did not disappoint. I had been organising to collaborate with the legendary Tim Pile and when we decided that Amanita would be the perfect model for both of us, I was ecstatic! When she then fell pregnant, we organised around her bump being nice and big and the ideas started bubbling and forming! I knew we would have a lot in common so it was no surprise that we totally gelled. I think the fact that her personality is completely warm and infectious helped a lot! It was amazing to see Amanita fully embrace every concept and character and transform into the many creatures that I wanted to create in my stories. This was despite the shoot being incredibly messy and bizarre so I thank her deeply for that. Amanita has the most incredible look to her and I wish that she was my muse. I will be chasing this magical creature many times over to create with again. I fully recommend her to everyone. Big love ♥

I can not recommend Amanita enough! I booked her for a fun, and creative and at times challenging food editorial shoot for an up and coming food magazine, she was a professional from start to finish, with prompt correspondence. Not only did we shoot some great images but also a film. The shoot sped by and I will most defiantly be booking her to shoot with again. Fab all round model with a fantastic approach and a great look!

I worked with Amanita at The Natural Light Studio in Northampton.

She arrived on time, was vibrant, enthusiastic and above all versatile.

The output of the shoot was exactly what I had hoped for and I wholeheartedly recommend Amanita to any photographer or studio.

They say that good things come to those who wait, a shoot with Amanita is sooo worth waiting for! For many months I had been hoping to arrange a shoot with this star, mainly because of her stunning looks, that seemed to lead me to thinking..Black & White. Eventually we found a mutually agreeable time and day, and I was lucky enough to have the use of a wonderful, secluded venue in deepest Norfolk.

Pre-comms were sorted in a few days, and despite the distance travelled, weather and traffic, everything fell into place for our half day shoot. I am so pleased with everything... the images, memories, and so many more thoughts for our next shoot.

Nothing was too much trouble for Amanita, she is so hard working and totally committed to giving her best, full of ideas, and a joy to work with. My B&W plans still hold, but so many glorious colour images as well. Despite the frost, we created many beautiful images outdoors, obviously with many breaks to thaw out... and no complaints about the shivering.

Amanita is the ideal model, gorgeous looks, an amazing figure, eager to please, a bundle of fun to work with and willing to try any ideas, however crazy they might seem.

The shoot just flew by, Amanita is a perfect mix, professionalism, relaxed and comfortable in her modelling, easy-going, yet totally focused.. did I mention she is great company? Fun, laughter, great to work with.... I cannot recommend her highly enough.

We are already looking at two more shoots in the New Year, so many possibilities book her if you get the chance!

Thank-you again Amanita,

Love and hugs Trev xx

Amanita came to my Studio Group tonight and the feedback from the members was very positive, She is professional in her approach, easy to talk to, and poses and takes direction well from everyone.

Paul Berryman Artist

Amanita worked with us on a 2 part all dayer at our life drawing group, with her partner John also actively modelling alongside her.

Comms up front were clear and friendly and it came to pass that the day was conducted in the same easy-going but rewarding nature.

Amanita and John are the perfect foils for each other in a life-class environment, they posed together with a tangible connection, they have very complementary physicality and their efforts to be as still as possible in some fairly demanding and lengthy poses was noted and appreciated.

We'll have them back again for sure, the group loved working with them!

I had worked with Jess at a studio club night some time ago and thought then that I must do a one to one shoot with her. Well last night I did!

Wow what a model, Jess is very beautiful, she has a stunning figure and is totally comfortable in her own skin. Her posing is wonderful, creating amazing shapes on whatever you give her to work with. Of course Jess turned up fully prepared and worked really hard to get the shots that I had in mind. She knew instinctively exactly how to develop my vague ideas into beautiful images.

Jess is a really wonderful young lady, it was a great pleasure and a privilege to work with her. I'm sure it won't be long before we work together again.

If you haven't worked with this star model you really should, you will not be disappointed.

I worked with Amanita for the first time a couple of days ago. It was the first time I’d worked with a model outside of group shoots or studio days, and also this was the first in my home studio, so I was quite nervous. There was no need, Amanita was so relaxed, easy to get on with, and knew what she was doing, everything went so smoothly and am already starting to organise another shoot. She’s has a great figure, with her own distinctive style and of course, those amazing dreadlocks :-)

Definitely recommended and look forward to working with you again soon :-)

I had amazing second shoot with Amanita. It is incredibly difficult not to take a great image of Amanita. She is one of the most beautiful, talented and fun to work with models that I have had the pleasure of working with. She works very hard to get the perfect picture and gets involved in creative process. This time round we set out to do some natural light pictures. Amanita did her makeup and hair immaculately well.

Amanita is everything and more of what I expected of her. I've been wanting to work with her again since our last mini 10 minute shoot which was a huge success.. Her posing skills are epic and I do call her a "posing machine" for a good reason. She is stunningly beautiful, has a fab figure and kind personality. Her communications are perfect and timely. She turned up on time with a good selection of outfits as discussed..

Amanita is fantastic to work with, such a lovely and sweet person, very talented, easy to give directions to and poses elegantly. I can't wait to work with her again and she gets my highest recommendation.

Amanita is a legend. Pure and simple.

I'd been waiting patiently to shoot with her for over a year and she really was well worth the wait. She has such an approachable and down to earth approcah, not only to her work, but as an individual to.

She is a great communicator and this was more than evident in the photos that we churned out, as she has the ability to follow direction very well. Dont let her age fool you either, she really is beyond her years and an incredibly talented and expressive individual.

She also incredibly beautiful, with one of the most unique (and tall!) figures I've ever worked with. Her face and dreads are just ace, and compliment her persona well.

If you get the chance to work with Amanita, just go for it as I assure you, you will not regret it :)

I for one would happily shoot with her all the time :)

It's hard to know what to expect when you're shooting a very experienced and very capable model, is she going to be a diva, is she going to be interested in you as a person or is she just there for the shoot and then be on her way.

When I looked at Amanita's portfolio I was thinking, "wow, she's good, she's worked with some top photographers" and it kinda puts a little pressure on you.

Well I needn't have bothered.. Amanita is one of the most easy going, friendly, personable people I've met! We had a great shoot, lots of fun, singing, dancing, joking and messing about!

She totally nailed the work though, as you can see from her portfolio - she's an amazing looking girl, so unique - and she knows all her angles and looks so she makes a photographers job very easy!

I sincerely hope I get to work with her again soon, she's like a breath of fresh air.

I worked with Amanita yesterday, and she was completely wonderful.

Not only does she look amazing, she is also charming, smart, and professional. She poses with energy and commitment, constantly 'alive' to the camera.

Do work with her if you get the chance.

Simply put - Jess is a superb model and I recommend working with her. She's naturally talented, versatile, hard working, intelligent, genuine - and has an amazing figure. Our 4 hour shoot was a real pleasure and I was delighted with her performance and the results.

Francis J Pullen Photographer

I had a brief first-time black & white shoot with Jess at Lovephoto studio club night. She is a very friendly and talented model, posing effortlessly, and taking direction when asked. Her height is accentuated by very long hair and slim figure, making full body shots exceptional.

I can thoroughly recommend working with Jess, and look forward to an opportunity to do so again for a longer time.

Lisa Ford

5 Minutes with Jess is like an hour with another model, with her unique beauty and posing ability she makes every shot count, love working with her. Highly recommended. Thank you Jess.

Michael Guest

I had the pleasure of working with Jess during a club night at LovePhotosStudio. Being a big fan of Jess work I was over the moon when Jess stepped in on a last minute drop out. Jess is a true professional and worked tirelessly to make sure everyone walked away with some stunning images.

There is so much more about Jess than just her wonderful hair, her figure, endless poses makes images brilliant images... I can't wait to work with her in the near future and would recommend her to all levels of photographers :)
