One again Anne came and reminded me of how amazing she really is. We didn't plan for the actual shoot to see if we can wing it and it was just so perfectly seamless. Anne is one of those people that adapts to situations and adds something of her on to a shoot. She knows her poses, angles and even which shots would be ideal. It was like dancing with the perfect partner. I cannot wait to shoot with her again..

We had a lingerie photoshoot session at a hotel, Anne was very professional and we worked through different ideas, she also willing to provide constructive input which allow the smooth process of communication and to create images we are both happy with. The overall experience is very good and I look forward to working with her again in future.

Whenever Anne makes one of her flying visit from the Midlands to London I am always hopeful that we can squeeze in a shoot. Although she was very busy on this recent visit, we did get to shoot again, and as always, she looked fantastic, and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We've worked together many times, and she has taken part group shoots that I've organised because I know she will always turn up, be on time, and provide photographers with some great images.

She is one of the very best models I've worked with in all my years on Purple Port.

Thank you again Anne :)

I've recently organised a studio day with Anne in London and really enjoyed working with her.

She is professional, reliable, easy posing, friendly and relaxed. She also brought a good selection of outfits for the day and was able to change gears easily from fashion and portraits to lingerie and boudoir.

Thank you!

Anne is just great to work with. We did a 1 hour shoot in Gabriel's studio with 3 strobe setup, which was very unfamiliar territory for me, but with her relaxed and positive energy Anne made it easy and fun. She was also efficient, changing outfits quickly (lots to choose from). She understood what kind of images I was aiming for and worked hard to help me get them, encouraging me along the way. It was a very positive experience, and as a bonus I'm very happy with the photos!

It was a studio fashion and lingerie photoshoot. I met Anne, the model, for the first time through Gabriel, and it was nice. Anne has a pretty face, eyes, a lovely figure, nice hands with attention to detail, i.e. polished nails and lovely feet in stunning gold and black open-toe heels and white and black lingerie and baby pink (my favourite colour) kimono. She's so charming and attractive; she nailed it.

I was very pleased when Anne recently responded to a casting I put out. Having worked with her previously I knew how good she is to work with.

And she has since acquired some very nice dresses. She was very efficient in sharing images of them with me.

So yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing Anne in four of her stylish dresses. Mostly in fairly busy areas. As she says in her port notes she is not afraid of crowds and stares.

I highly recommend shooting with Anne - great communications, posing, enthusiasm, willingness to try my ideas....I could go on. A great model all round.

I booked Anne for another small group photography event in Surrey. If you're arranging a group event it's essential to book a good model, and having working with Anne many times before I know that she is 100% reliable, and always ensures that the photographers go home with good shots. She did a fantastic job at todays event which was held at a scenic location with gorgeous views. Anne always looks amazing, and is so easy to work with .. not only that, but she bought me some chocolate mini rolls! I look forward to the next shoot ... thank you again Anne :)

I had the pleasure of working with Anne May for the first time 1-2-1 at the Shapeshifter studio in Warrington. Pre shoot comms were perfect (professional, very organised, prompt, and informative). Anne determined and not put off by the rail strikes and delays made her way up keeping me updated with progress all the way to allow for any adjustments to be made. We still found time to chat about ideas and the flow of the session over a brew before getting started. Lyra came very well prepared with a super selection of outfits and accessories that fitted her style and my requests to a T.

Anne is such a lovely chilled and easy going person with so much talent, creativeness, and passion about her craft. It was such a chilled and relaxed shoot as if we had worked together many times before. Throughout the shoot Anne was full of positive ‘can do’ energy putting 110% effort into every shot. Anne not only poses effortlessly but she has an amazing eye for the fine details such as refreshing makeup in every change to ensure its fully styled ensuring she brings any look or concept to life with an amazing Wow factor.

If you are lucky enough to work with this fantastic young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Totally recommended.

Thanks for your determination, hard work and patience on the day. It was such a great, fun and creative afternoon and Im looking forward to working with you again very soon :)

It was an absolute privilege to welcome Anne back to the studio, she recently joined us for a test shoot but this time was our model for a styled photographic event.

Anne's comms throughout where fabulous, she was more than happy to help advertise and help in anyway she could to make the event a success. She even supplied a stunning authentic Kimono and painstakingly dressed herself for nearly two hours to get everything, including the Obi perfect!

We can't thank her enough for her input and dedication!

During the event Anne was super friendly towards the photographers attending and posed effortlessly ensuring that the photographers got beautiful results! Throughout she was super relaxed, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble!...

Anne is highly recommended to both photographers and studios!... If you haven't worked with Anne please don't hesitate to book her!.. We can't wait to have her back for another event!

Thanks so much Anne, the event wouldn't of been what it was without you!

I've had a wonderful couple of shoots with Anne over the recent few months!..

First shoot was a collaborative test shoot and the other a booking for a photographic event at my studio.

Anne's comms are fabulous, it was so easy to organise the shoots with her and I have to say that she also comes with a stunning wardrobe and her own creative ideas!... Anne is one of those rare models that truly knows her craft.

She has the most beautifully elegant hands that make all her poses fluid and ethereal and not to mention an absolutely stunning side profile!... (Yes I'm one of those weird photographers!ha!)

But seriously Anne is a beautiful woman to photograph but also lovely to spend time with, she's super chilled and relaxed making shoots flow without any awkward need for conversation!...

We shot some really beautiful images and I wouldn't hesitate recommending Anne to other photographers who are looking for an accomplished model!..

Thank you for all your hard work!

I look forward to working with you again in the future!

As I was searching for models to take part in my Digital Art Project I came across Anne May, someone who I've never worked with before. She was defiantly up for the project straight away and as soon as we met in person and started working together she was an amazing model to work with. She knew how to pose in front of the camera and we created some amazing, beautiful pieces together.

As you can plainly see from her portfolio, she is highly experienced, really professional and very beautiful. I highly recommend her to all you other photographers out there. I you're looking for someone to pose for you who has grace and beauty, Anne's your lady.

Hope to work with her again in the near future.

After another long break it was great to catch up with Anne again. Having worked with her amny times I know she is always 100% relaible, friendly and great to work with. We started the day with a couple of group shoots in Surrey. Anne was brilliant at poseing and following directions and ensured that everyone came away with plenty of great photos despite the awful summer weather! We then had a 1-2-1 shoot on a particular theme to end a very long day. Once again Anne was fantastic and we canptured plenty of great images.

Anne is one of the best models out there, thank you again :)

I had the total pleasure of getting to work with Anne on a recent Surrey Creatives event organised by Colin Evans.

Despite the inclement weather, she was super professional a delight to work with and a genuinely lovely person. She is happy to take direction, but also creative in her own right and I really appreciated her input. Despite the rain and challenges of a wet location shoot we got some fantastic images and would highly recommend you book her up for a shoot. Until next time Anne, thank you again for a fantastic photo session.

I had the opportunity to work with Anne for the first time and she was a pleasure to work with. Pre-comms were perfect, she was ready on time and with her hair and makeup done to a high standard. The shoot went brilliantly, and Anne was friendly, chatty and professional. She was able to pose with no direction and really hit the brief. I can't wait to start editing, I already know we made some beautiful images together. Thank you again Anne x

Anne was incredible to work with! She was an amazing photographer as well as a model. She made me feel at ease, comfortable and made the whole experience very enjoyable.

As a model, Anne is a professional at what she does. She poses naturally and effortlessly. She looks great from every angle and knows how to make pictures look great.

Anne is a professional, lovely and excellent model and I would highly recommend working with her.

Colin Evans

It had been a very long time since I’d been able to work with Anne, however, today we had to opportunity to shoot together again. Add a custom car to the mix and a couple of friends and this was a great combination. I have worked with Anne quite a few times but her progress as a model was very evident today. There was no need to direct her, and the outfits she brought along were amazing. A thoroughly enjoyable shoot with a great model, and the photos look fantastic!

Highly recommended!

I had wanted to work with Anne for some time and finally had the opportunity for a half day shoot at two fabulous locations. Pre-shoot communications were excellent and Anne came well prepared with some really elegant outfits and looking absolutely beautiful. Anne has a lovely personality and it was a joy and privilege to work with her. And on top of that we created some awesome images. I highly recommend her knowing you will have a great shoot.
