Anita, on planning her route to her Scotland tour, asked if I was free to shoot on this date, which, after our first shoot together, I readily agreed. We planned to continue where we left off with ideas that we left on the table as our inspiration. Taking advantage of the early summer sunrise, we agreed to meet up at 4am and headed off on our way around the North Wales area. Despite the early hours, Anita was ready and raring to go, more so than I, I will admit!.

Anita does the 'classy, sophisticated' look really well, which particularly suited our second location, but also does the every day, homely, fun-loving character, interspersed with fashionista equally as well. It's fair to say that despite the slightly hard attitude portrayed in some of her fetish work and what I call 'grumpy/moody' portraits, this is purely a character as she is such a friendly, polite, professional person to be around, positive and encouraging, helpful with her own creative ideas and suggestions and works well with little or no direction. If, like me, you have camera issues or technique issues/technical hiccups, Anita will happily take the time to review and re-run a series of poses in order to get the shot right.

Time flew by, compounded by the early start to the day and a weird sort of jetlaggy feeling of 'yes it's only midday, but we've done an 8-hour shoot!' and we came away feeling very happy with the day's results.

Naturally, I would 100% recommend Anita and who knows, hopefully we'll have a 3rd shoot session in future if our paths cross again.

I've wanted to shoot with Anita for ages and was really happy when she announced dates up near me. We shot in North Wales and I made Anita climb rocks, walk barefoot in a river and walk over slate heaps for art nude photography (you know, all those hard work tasks that produce great images!)

I was delighted with the images that we shot together and really enjoyed working with Anita. She is a real professional, happy to put in the hard work, and had a great range of poses which reflected the scenery. Her input was thoughtful and helpful, and was welcomed - I've shot at those locations before and it was good to see it through a pair of fresh eyes.

I would love to work with Anita again, so will be keeping a look out for any casting calls my way!

Once again I had the pleasure of working with Anita this week, but this was a first because I joined Anita in Somerset on a personally guided "Tour of the Southwest" and we shot outside all day.

Working with Anita is always a delight; she is well prepared, punctual and professional. We work collaboratively in every shoot but on this occasion the opportunities to develop ideas and images resulted in some of the best photographs I have ever created.

Anita is a great model and I find working with her a real pleasure, time fly's by and I look forward to our next shoot.

I have shot with Anita several times now and every time I have come away feeling very happy. She is good with people who are not so sure around models if they are new to it (which I was until around 6 months ago) and is always helpful with ideas and hints.

Anita always shows on time and is open to ideas, very polite and I am always comfortable shooting with her. I cant recommend her enough and am looking forward to the next time she comes to Norfolk as I know I will book her again.

I had the pleasure of working with Anita for a couple of evening shoots when she was in my area. Each time I work with Anita do a different style, she is very versatile, a joy to work with and we have a laugh. Both shoots were very productive and we covered many different ideas a styles. I am really please with the results we got and cant wait to start posting the results. Looking forwards to the next time, and new ideas. Simon

This was my first shoot with Anita, and I can honestly say I hope it isn't my last.

Anita is absolutely brilliant to work with! We shot today around Camden, at various locations, suggested by Anita. She arrived bang on time, ready to shoot and with coffee :-)

We only shot for two hours, which flew by, I would happily work with her all day!

She's really easy to work with , has a fantastic look, great poses and works hard to make sure you go away with great images. Anita deserves all the recommendations she has already, and I would highly recommend working with her.

Thanks for a terrific shoot Anita!

Worked with Anita on her recent visit to the Isle of Wight.

Highly professional, versatile model who is very easy to work with. Friendly (despite me making her wade through clay to get to an outdoor location), personality which made it a pleasure to spend the time with her. I have some great images to edit from a highly productive shoot.

Hopefully Anita will come visit us again in the not too distant future?

Of course, as everyone else has said, highly recommended.

I had the great pleasure of working with Anita last Friday at several locations around The Isle of Wight.

Anita is a joy to work with. Totally professional, posing with ease and full of creative input - an inspirational character who understood my directions and photo ideas brilliantly. Throughout our time together Anita always made sure that we had achieved the best pictures we could before we moved onto new locations,

Situations beyond our control prevented us from having our second shoot that weekend, but I am hoping we get the chance to work together again in the future as Anita inspires you to come up with lots of ideas and I'm hoping we'll get to work on some of those the next time we work together.

I wholeheartedly recommend Anita to other photographers.

Thank you for a wonderful afternoon :)

Weather postponed our shoot, but it was worth the wait. Art nudes outdoors in Somerset, chauffeured and catered by someone who knows the area well. Perfect!

Anita is in a very small and select band of models who are good enough to make a living from the job over an extended period.

She is intelligent, organised, hard-working and generally incredibly able. And she's lovely company, so that it is easy to relax and enjoy working with her. The time flew by. The results are amazing.

I recommend her unhesitatingly: one of the elite. And for other models, aspiring to a long-term career in the business should read her book. Photographers wanting an insight into the other side of the camera should read it too.

Actually, it's a good read even if you are established and accomplished, and who knows - you may pick up some good new ideas...

Worked with Anita 3 or 4 times now, and she has never disappointed - the latest shoot was one of the best so far with loads of "keepers". I would definitely recommend Anita to anyone.

Anita came to my humble studio today for a shoot on her way home. As usual all pre shoot communication was excellent and she sent me a text to let me know she was on her way. I wanted to concentrate on head and shoulder shots and Anita was as always the true professional and I got just the shots I wanted. I love working with her, she is so professional in her approach and in her attitude and the hour that we had went very quickly.

I had a great outdoor shot with Anita today,(my first with her). The pre-shoot communication was excellent and Anita arrived at the meet point on time and ready to go. Unfortunately it was raining quite hard so we resorted to a back up plan and did a shoot in a nearby cave. Anita was fantastic and did not "bat and eyelid" and worked in the cave producing some great body on rock images. She is such a professional and with her great style and poise we produced some fantastic images. Anita was fun to work with and a has a great personality. Later we did another location shots at one on Anita's "locations", this time with the sunshine. Overall it was a really great day and I am already thinking about a followup shoot.

I can highly recommend Anita to any photographer wanting an experienced, creative model.

I had such an amazing shoot with the brilliant, very beautiful and lovely Anita. Although we had shot in a studio before this was our first shoot on location. Anita is a stunning model and is just brilliant to shoot with and such fun. We had a super fun-filled day exploring North Somerset shooting fashion, fashion nude and fine art nude and each location was just perfect for creating super images. Anita is such a lovely person and spending the day with her shooting was just heaven. The day went so quickly - 8 hours just vanished as though it was seconds. Anita, thank you so much for being so lovely, driving me around and helping create so many amazing images. You are a star. Very highly recommended to all photographers. So looking forward to when we can next work together.

Second shoot with Anita on what I am sure will become her world famous Somerset tour. Arrange to meet early to start on the beach but the weather got the better of us with think fog everywhere so we decided to head into the hills. After a quick coffee we climbed some hills and started the day and the weather by this point was perfect. Early morning mist followed by lots of lovely sunshine!

The locations Anita took me to were all fantastic, lots of rocks, tress, hills, old buildings and more besides and I was really happy with the pictures i came away with. Couple that with Anita's total professionalism and happy attitude and it really was a great day.

Already considering another tour and there is so much to see and shoot! I don't need to recommend Anita to anyone else, her port and everyone else does that already, but will recommend the tour for anyone considering it.

It is quite some time since I last worked with Anita on a studio shoot and she of course was brilliant. I have however just read her book and found it fascinating. Although aimed at up and coming models I feel it would be of interest to a lot of photographers as well. Nice work Anita!

I first met Anita when she answered a casting call 'seeking a patient model' as I wanted to test some new kit. Since that first shoot, which is over two years ago I have had the pleasure of working with her many times. My portfolio is littered with her work - she is quite simple "remarkable".

She demonstrates the patience of a saint at every shoot, she can morph from femme fatale to little girl lost in seconds, wearing latex and high heeled boots! Her skin is always perfect, her wardrobe always eclectic and her generosity overwhelming at every shoot.

With her help my studio work has improved enormously. Joining her on location in Somerset was a day I'll never forget - we both got sunburned - Anita more than me but she was still happy to continue shooting all day. I owe her a very big thank you...

I had the pleasure to work with Anita for a second time when she visited the Norwich area. Anita is great to work with, a talented model who came up with some exceptional poses for the ideas I had. Its was a fun shoot at my home and the time just flew by. It was a real pleasure working with Anita and we already have two more shoots booked for when she returns to this area. Really looking forwards to it and my ideas are developing. Simon

Stunning looks, great classical and creative poses, friendly and fun to work with, a consummate professional, just book her, you won't be disappointed. Thanks for a great time Anita.

WOW where do you start with leaving a reference good enough for Anita? A stunning looking girl with a fab attitude. She was a doddle to work with and required little to no direction, She was helpful in suggesting lighting when looking on the back of the camera etc which resulted in some great shots, The whole afternoon just flew by.

I will definatly work with her again highly recomended.

Anita is very good professional model, She was punctual and well prepared . Pre shoot comms were very good, enquiring exactly what I might wish for and arrived fully equipped for the day. She showed a lot of knowledgeable interest in the shots as we went, adding helpful suggestions as well. I would recommend her to photographers of any standard. Well done!
