References for Andy Filth

Cloudy

I have many things to thank my one true love Miss Lilith in Bloom for, but one of the most profound gifts that I simply marvel at was her gift to me of be friending Mr Andy Filth.

This was my first every shoot with a male model and I was so glad that my co star was this wonderful individual. I am far from shy and retiring but none the less I was treading into unknown territory and Andy was a the most excellent partner to have walk with me.

I have never met a man so strong in presence and yet so sweet and considerate. He helped chase away any niggling doubts, self consciousness or nerves I had and what a fantastic model!

Andy is a beautiful man with a real flare for the micro acting which is modeling. I didn't even think to worry about whether or not our poses and expressions matched up, even when I couldn't see his face I knew he understood our work so well that he was just getting on and doing it, and oh so well at that!

There was no awkward moments with Andy, just an embracing of a shared love of what was being created... And I have to say Andy cuddles, or the Andy armchair is a pretty sweet place to be!

Andy can slip into character at the drop of a hat and was very intuitive both with me and the photographer, which you have to admit is pretty damned impressive.

Andy is an amazing guy, he can have you grinning one moment and then be pulling at your heart strings the next. I am in awe of his skills and passion as a model and feel blessed to know him as a friend.

Highly recommend to all photographers and to all models who want someone who delivers flawlessly every time.

Andy was very professional took direction well and has a great intensity for camera, wish I'd had more time to shoot, would definitely recommend.

Andy is my sort of model! On time; friendly; prepared; keen as mustard; very, very willing; great company; lean body.

Our shoot was planned to highlight a 'different' Andy from the Goth-look he sports every day. We succeeded thanks to Andy's willingness to try anything and everything I suggested, and to pose in ways that should have been well outside his comfort zone (but weren't!). The final results could have looked awkward, but, thanks to his adaptability, look very relaxed and natural.

It was my pleasure to share a shoot with Andy. It was great fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire time.

Andy gives his all to a shoot, and what a tremendous difference it makes to work with a truly committed model. Recommended most heartily.

Thanks, Andy!

My 2nd shoot with Andy - he had a concept of "vampire at home", so we shot at his home, and despite some "prop issues", we got some cracking results. Andy is really laid back, just gets on with the job and takes direction well. Oh, and he has been working out!

Shot with Andy and his wife today a Goth type wedding and I really enjoyed it. Andy was his usual quiet self but gave his all to the shoot. Second time I've had a shoot with Andy and will certainly shoot with him again at a later date. Would recommend him to anyone don't miss out.

Andy and I worked together today, with John Coles, on an erotic shoot. He was absolutely lovely, easy to get on with, great in his poses and facial expressions and a perfect gentleman at all times. I'd love to work with him again in the future!

I had wanted to work with Andy for some time, but I needed the right combination of male and female models. And then the wonderful Jesamine returned from a 3 month break and Jesamine fitted the shoot perfectly for what I had planned with Andy.

Andy is a brilliant model. You may feel he looks a trifle unconventional, but he is still a brilliant model. He is incredibly understanding of what you want as a photographer (his wife is a very talented photographer in her own right), he is incredibly supportive of his female partner in a shoot such as we had planned, and he proved to be just totally positive about what I was trying to achieve.

Above all, in this challenging erotic shoot, Andy proved to be the perfect gentleman towards his female counterpart. None of us had met before a frantic but detailed 4 hour shoot (16 poses indoors and out, in four hours, with lighting), and so - above all - I respect and salute Andy's totally professional attitude.

There was a joke somewhere about fishing line, but I didn't understand it :(

But what I really want to emphasize is that Andy gets the pre-shoot coms right, and he turns up on time, and does a brilliant job. Book him!

Great guy, Andy came all the way from Wales for a shoot at the studio in west london.

He brought a good range of clothes and poses and had a MUA in tow..

We got some great images..

Cracking shoot with Andy! We wanted to get something different for his port, so we met up in Swansea Waterfront Museum, and wandered around for a couple of hours looking for some interesting spots (between getting told off by curators!) We got some great light and really interesting backdrops. Andy was punctual, well prepared and had sourced some fab Victorian clothing. Had a great time and would definitely recommend Andy.

Had a cracking shoot with Andy today and had the added bonus of his wife coming along as well to give me guidance, as this was my virgin Goth shoot. Took me to a wonderful location high above Swansea hopefully I will be able to find it again for future shoots in the area. Andy is a very good model quiet but attentive and took direction well. He also was able to pose with no direction and that helped me a lot. What little the boss (wife) said was also very helpful and the few shots I managed to take of her with Andy were excellent. Hopefully this will not be my last shoot with Andy as I think there are more amazing shots still to be had. To be honest the Slush Puppy's were well deserved, thank you Both. Certainly Recommended

I shot with Andy back in June while I was visiting Wales (I'm so sorry for the delay in the reference!)

Andy was great to work with- friendly and laid back. I was super nervous as it was my first ever erotic shoot but Andy totally took it in his stride which made me feel much better!

We got a super variety of images from the day and the erotic ones turned out to be my favourite set.

Thank you Andy!

I would definitely recommend Andy to any photographer! As a person he's friendly, easy-going and patient, and as a model gives plenty of variety and takes direction well. I have a ton of great shots from our shoot because Andy is such a natural in front of the camera and changes things up between shots, so the only negative is you'll have trouble deciding on the final images!

I had an outdoor group shoot with Andy.

Andy was great to work with. He worked well with little directions. I would recommend Andy to any Photographer. He is a pleasure to work with and very well mannered and considerate to others he is working with.

I look forward to working with Andy again.

I can't quite remember the date but I've worked with Andy as a photographer and as a model. For both shoots he was brilliant, very hardworking, coming up with brilliant ideas and pushing his limits both times.

He's a lovely guy to be around, made me very comfortable and opened my eyes to new ideas and themes. I would highly recommend him and I'll be working with him in the near future =)

Despite Andy being a new model on the alternative scene, his attitude and professionalism is next to none. He is hardworking, interesting and very fun to work with
