Back in the studio after a year of absence and what better way then to pick up where I left off shooting with the one and only Anna.

Such a fun a productive shoot, Anna never disappoints, shapes, poses, emotion and endless creativity Anna brings it all.

3 sets under the downlight, post apocalyptic Frayer, dishevaled office worker and moody fashion to start.

We then moved onto to a new light set up, mono implied and super moody, where Anna demonstrated her skill of contorting her body into amazing artistic shapes, that captured the minimal light perfectly. Seriously back of the camera images that made you go WOW!

We finished off with some natural lite boudoir

What an amazing shoot, so many awesome images, its an absolute joy shooting with Anna so no hesitation in highly recommending

Thank you Anna for another incredible shoot :-)

I have lost count of the number of shoots I've had with Anna. I love shooting with Anna so much that she was the first model I contacted about shooting, pretty much on the day that the government announced when the lockdown rules would be relaxed to allow outdoor shooting. I knew that I would be coming out of lockdown feeling rusty, and there would be no better person to help me get back into the swing of things again.

Anna is always happy to go along with my ideas, and this time I fancied doing a fashion shoot using items I had been buying throughout lockdown. A lot of photographers book Anna because of her awesome body tone and the way she poses with it, and I have been one of those in the past, but I also love capturing the softer side of her as well.

Anna turned up with the few bits and pieces that I'd asked her to bring, and then over the next couple of hours she stoically braved the typical April weather - no rain, but not exactly the warmest of days.

Anna always gives me 100% when we shoot, and I feel that a lot of my best work has been produced with her. We are currently planning our next shoot, to be done in my home studio spaces as soon as it is allowed.

2nd shoot with Anna, and the shots we got from this shoot are different league, some of the best I've ever shot, having a model who just gets your ideas and can pose effortlessly is priceless. Highly recommended.

I do not have enough superlatives left to describe Anna and shooting with her. We had our fifth shoot together today - pretty much four hours of chat, fun and creating cool images together. Oh, and eight different outfit changes (with a few extra pieces added in for good measure).

Anna has become a great friend since we first shot together in November 2018. She is someone that I save a lot of my best ideas for, as I know she will always respond enthusiastically and give 110%. We went for some looks that were a little different for Anna today, for most of our sets putting more emphasis on facial expressions than on her incredible physique (which did obviously feature for one set - how could it not?), and Anna smashed every single look.

Just read though her references and you will see why so many excellent photographers want to work with her. Incredibly highly recommended!

It's been ages I wanted to work with Anna and finally, after a warm-up remote photoshoot during lock down we got the proper real-life day out during the hottest day of the year so far!!! 33 degrees heat, sun was melting the pavement!!

What a pleasure it was to create content with Anna, she is absolute superstar! Easy to talk to, she looks stunning, her posing is exceptional, free and creative, she puts meaning, emotions and dynamic in her poses and it was awesome experience to be able to capture it on camera and work together perfecting every pose - edgy, moody, creative and everything inbetween.

Together we shot at 3 locations and Anna was so chilled out when some locations didn't get us what we wanted and we just moved on. Some funny story about a van almost catching us mid-shoot and Anna stayed calm and composed despite the pressure, we waited until van left and Anna continued like a pro!

Can highly recommend her to any photographer, her modelling experience, looks and passion to create awesome pictures will make you go WOW!

I can't wait to process images Anna have selected and I hope (fingers crossed) she will be happy to shoot with me again :)

!!!! Amazing!!! Having come across Annas portfolio a while back, I've had her on my to shoot list for a while, well thanks to the lockdown we finally made contact, discussed some ideas and decided to make it happen.

We shot several different looks and Anna nailed every one,a very talented model, great conversation, put up with my music and created some next level images.

I'm already thinking about the next shoot.

Wanted to work with Anna for ages and whatever positive comes from this lockdown - we finally connected and agreed to a remote shoot via FaceTime. I must say - Anna is such a great person and amazing model! It was really easy to chat and get some cool sets done despite we never met in person.

I am really grateful for having the chance to shoot with Anna and can't wait to work with her again! MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!

Worked with Anna for the first time and she is an amazing model. Very professional, works extremely hard and is not afraid of a little wind and cold weather. I had so much fun working with Anna as she is so funny and intelligent. She arrived on time and had a range of outfits to choose from. It was a pleasure working with her and I would highly recommend working with Anna at your earliest opportunity. Thanks Anna for a fun night and hope to work with you again soon.

First time shooting with fabulous Anna, turned up ahead of schedule and ready to rock and roll! Precomms were excellent throughout and Anna came very well prepared in some very chilly conditions. Super open to trying new ideas and bouncing of the photographers throughout the shoot, Anna was an absolute delight to work with and we are already looking forward to shooting with her again soon!! Very highly recommended! Thank you, Anna!

Oh man, I have to write another reference.

Erm...

...er...

...ah! No, that's silly...

...She radiates a beauty that is surpassed only by the fabled blue stone of Galvestone.

Nah, that's rubbish. Never seen the stone, never been to Galvestone and no idea if it's blue. Could be a complete load of nonsense.

Look, basically, she's fab, one of the best models to work with ever and if you don't book her, then there's something wrong with you and you need to have a word with yourself.

That'll do.

Anna and I had a conceptual portrait shoot in my small homestudio in Cambridge. Pre-shoot communication was effortless and it was also very easy to work together with Anna during the shoot. Anna's a lot of fun to work with and easy going. I was impressed how quickly she could convey different emotions and characters in her posing. I can highly recommend shooting with her, she rocks.

Have to say I feel blessed to get the opportunity to shoot with Anna, she is truly amazing. This was our 3rd shoot, a duo with her friend Kat, and once again I was totally blown away with everything Anna was doing. Her shapes and emotion are second to none, she is totally committed to whatever we are doing in the shoot and the results speak for themselves, the images are bloody awesome. Add to that Anna is such a great person.

Got so many great images to edit and totally can't wait to shoot with Anna again, so highly recommending Anna 100%

Thank you Anna for another amazing shoot :-)

Yesterday I finally got to shoot with Anna again, and it was very much worth the wait. Although we have now only shot together three times, thanks to the miracle of social media we have become good friends during this time. Anna has been something of a rock to me too, always there with an encouraging few words when I'm doubting myself, and always showing enthusiasm for my shoot ideas... which is why I tend to save what I feel are the best concepts for her.

I have discovered over the past six months or so that I really enjoy styling shoots as well as taking the photos, so spent a fair amount of time prior to yesterday sourcing various items that I could put together to create the outfits for the shoot. Anna didn't question a single one of my ideas, but was happy to share her thoughts when consulted, adding to the collaborative nature of the shoot.

In the few months since we have last shot I would say that Anna has improved as a model even more, pretty incredible considering she is back at uni studying for another degree and time to shoot is very limited. As a model friend said when I showed her some of the images from yesterday, Anna would own any look I asked of her and no one else I have shot with could have pulled off the styling for that shoot.

If I was told I could only shoot with two or three models ever again, Anna would be one of those I'd pick. Very, totally, absolutely, highly recommended!

So this story begins a while ago. I was helping my uncle out at his farm and we were shopping for some things to help him out for the season. I was a bit bummed out because I had made some plans to go hang out with my friends. But anyway, we picked up a couple of items but one of them turned out almost immediately to be faulty. We got that replaced with another model that ultimately was more compatible with the first item.

Well later on that evening I could not for the life of me find the second product. I was a bit annoyed losing it because I wasn't having a great day anyway as I had earlier in the day had a bit of an argument with my uncle. Being it's quite dark in the evenings now I had to wait until morning and then off I went, looking around for it. Eventually I found the damned thing and bloody hell wouldn't you know it, it was playing up too. But then some locals nearby came along and started on me. If it wasn't for my friend Ben who happened to be wandering by I would've been in a very bad position.

Hang on... that's Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. Let's try that again.

I won a luxury cruise a while ago with my friend and since we didn't have anything better to do at the time we decided to go. It was very last minute so we literally had no time to prepare. Managed to get on board just in time and not long afterwards while chilling out on deck I met this cracking woman. Gorgeous red hair and... this is Titanic!!! Dammit!

Look, I'll cut to the chase, I don't wanna just repeat what everyone else has said. Anna is all kinds of awesome and you should work with her. End of!

So, back to this ship, you would NOT believe what happened next...

Anna is fantastic, she is really easy to work with and great fun. As part of a 2 day group shoot with Portrait X in Wales I quickly grabbed a couple of minutes with Anna on the first day and in that time managed to get 2 awesome photos. On the second day I had a decent length session working with her and my wife as a 2nd photographer. Both my wife and I are new to photography and have very little experience getting models to pose, this was not an issue with Anna as she came up with loads of good ideas herself and was also able to follow my terrible instructions and get exactly the look I wanted to capture.

I really enjoyed working with her and it was good to be with a model that can have a laugh while you are shooting and not take things too seriously as that’s the way I like to shoot (I saw her with other more serious photographers over the weekend and they and her took things much more seriously so she can clearly adapt to the style of the person she is working with)

Every shot (other than the ones where I messed up the camera settings) was a keeper, it’s really impressive how many good photos I got of Anna in a short space of time. I would highly recommend working with her as you are almost guaranteed to get great looking photos.

Anna is an exceptional model who is fully capable of following instruction, but strikes such a perfect pose, instruction isn't often needed. Anna works hard but is able to adapt to the photographer's needs to ensure the best experience (we have a lot of fun and laughter per my preference, but Anna is more serious with other more discerning togs). My only objection to working with Anna is that it's really tough to choose 'best' photos because they're all so brilliant! The camera loves her!

I first shot with Anna last November, and for various reasons didn't get around to making another booking until now, something I had regretted for some time. However, whilst she was travelling recently we reconnected via Instagram and I was determined not to let that regret last any longer. In simplest terms, Anna is absolutely amazing. She was good last November, but now she is great!

Communications running up to the shoot were flawless. We were messaging each other almost daily, and her enthusiasm for my ideas was fantastic. But it was not a one way collaboration - Anna was free to make suggestions regarding the styling of the shoot, outfits, etc. and this made for an ever better set of images on the day.

When you've built a level of mutual trust like Anna and I have, it allows for more experimentation and we were able to help each other as we were occasionally both working well outside of our comfort zones. At no point did I ever fear that Anna would judge me for making a creative suggestion that might test her, or that might seem a bit crazy and not work, and I am so grateful for the way she allowed me to feel at ease throughout the shoot.

Anna really knows her body and how to pose it, and many of the images from the day are among the best I've ever made. She certainly helped me to realise my ideas and I honestly couldn't have asked for more from her on the day. I now consider Anna to be a close friend whom I trust implicitly, and I cannot wait to shoot with her again.

Wow what an awesome shoot, from start to finish, Anna was totally original and amazing.

Pre shoot comms we excellent and Anna turned up with some really cool and diverse outfits.

Anna can pose brilliantly without any input but equally responds well to guidance, emotion by the bucket load and shapes to die for, smiles and whoops from behind the camera ensued.

We shot for nearly 4 hours and Anna's energy and endless creativity didn't wain at all, in fact each set eclipsed the one before.

Lots and lots cool images and a really fun shoot, I cannot wait to shoot with Anna again so no problem at all in highly recommending Anna.

Thank you Anna very much for such an amazing shoot :-)

H.I.P.

Working with Anna today was a huge pleasure, she has a wonderful look, brilliant posing skills and a delightful personality.

The day was very productive, we ran through some planned phases and some unplanned improv, either way this cracking model handled it all with ease.

I look forward to getting Anna back to the studio as soon as possible, she is a star

I had a great shoot with Anna today.

She was ready to shoot really quickly and got into her posing straight away.

Anna needed very little direction and picked up what was required easily.

She is a pleasure to work with and has a wicked sense of humour, which made our time together fly by.

I would recommend her highly.

Thank you Anna!
