Always fun with Antonia. Her expressions and look is definitely the top tier for me. She really is excellent in all her posing and each photo is so perfect. Even with being in recovery her photos turned out perfect in frame. I also did not know she is fluent in Italian for more opportunities with other models as well.

She will bring 100% to her work and it shows. If you also would like to book remotely or for duo work, Antonia can make it happen. This time around we did an duo with Alice Fox. The shoot was shot at Art Asylum Reloaded Studio in the UK.

I highly recommend a duo with Antonia and Alice Fox.

I had the pleasure this week to shoot with Antonia along with Alice Fox. It was my first shoot with Antonia and despite having recently suffered an awful accident and clearly still on the road to recovery she was well prepared, professional and friendly.

The shoot was only for a couple of hours, so naturally limited in scope but we were able to make use of soft natural light in a couple of rooms in her home to good effect, covering solo and duo shots.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Antonia to any level of photographer. She has the experience to put newbies at ease and the ability to work with experienced photographers to create more challengingly styled images. I hope to be able to work with her before too long.

Thank you Antonia.

Great to shoot with Antonia after being on each others radar for a while. Working as a duo with Alice Fox, these two amazing ladies worked superbly together with a great chemistry to allow beautiful images.

Both ladies are mesmerisingly photogenic and have a work ethic that is professional,talented and fun in equal measure.

Perfect pre shoot comms to allow us to style and light the shoot as discussed.

100% recommended.

Great shoot with Antonia. I was really surprised how well Antonia has recovered from her recent accident. This time she was joined by her friend Alice Fox. The session was at Antonia's home, we used the living room and a bedroom for a variety of looks.

Antonia is a pleasure to work with, it's very much a collaboration. I was shooting tethered so we could review as we went along. I shot some images of each model solo, and some as a dua.

I decided to use natural light and leave the flash in the car. The only modifier was a length of muslin to hang in the windows to diffuse and mask the exterior view.

Antonia is such a professional model, and it all went very well. So much so we extended the shoot at the end just to wrap things up.

Once again, I must really thank Antonia for posing as if she had never just suffered a terrible accident.

I can highly recommend Antonia, a really versatile model.

To Antonia, her loved ones and family. Thank you for a fabulous, dream photographic event in gorgeous Sicily.

You planned for sometime a really special event in your home area of Italy (a favourite country for me) beautiful Sicily. This you had been planning to be rather special with an amazing Villa, chef with amazing food, gorgeous models, locations and plenty of sunshine.

But sadly not You!

On the first shoot day, a serious accident needed you to be taken to hospital. This clearly shocked and impacted all of us, closest loved ones and family alike.

I had only the day before as we all met and then were taken to visit some local sights. Took a fun, short BTS video of you Antonia being your usual typical self, dancing to some disco music as we toured the sights, sounds, and aromas of the local Palermo market place. This in itself just highlighted the anticipation of the fantastic photographic event we were all about to have.

The accident meant it was really very difficult to know at the time what to do. As news filtered in it was felt the event you had spent so much time envisaging, your drive, planning, determination to create something special, and wish for it to go ahead made it difficult, but also determined by all of us to make it happen.

Antonia it was Amazing, Si we missed you immensely, naturally, you were always on our minds, in our thoughts and hearts. Please know that what you planned was fantastic. The locations, photographic opportunities, models, amazing food, and yes plenty of wine, was superb, loved by All.

In the short time together during these few days created a wonderful bond, family togetherness of all us involved, being positive, supportive and wishing nothing but to have good news of you.

I Highly Recommend this wonderful Sicilian photographic event. It was very special in so many ways!

I am so pleased that you are making progress, had the needed operation and very much look forwards to seeing you, Antonia, dancing again!

Get well soon.

Such an absolutely amazing model. This reference is difficult for me to write as Antonia was involved in an accident at the start of the WanderlustGetaways Sicily trip that she was due to be modelling at and had worked so hard to help arrange. I was heart broken and am full of concern for her. The trip was really well organised and she was a real trooper, even supporting us from hospital in checking how things were going and finding replacement models. Her level of commitment to her shoots is absolutely outstanding. The support from her boyfriend and family was absolutely incredible and enabled the shooting to continue despite the enormous heartache. Thank you so much to you all for this trip. I really hope you recover fully Antonia ad would love to shoot with you again someday. Please focus on your health for the time being and get well soon. Thinking of you lots and thank you for your unbelievable support for us having a good trip x

A Reference from my Heart.

Antonia was really looking forward to this shoot in her own country (Sicily - Italy) and had organised everything to perfection including the villa, transfers and a private chef.

We all met at the villa the day before the few days of shooting started.

This was the first time that I had met Antonia and I was captivated by her beautiful, big blue eyes and her personality full of energy.

We all connected and it felt like we were to have some fantastic time ahead.

Unfortunately, just minutes before the shoot was going to start, Antonia was hit by a car almost at the door of the villa.

This was a massive shock for all of us.

Antonia was transferred to Hospital with a broken back.

Despite we felt like not going ahead with the shoot, Antonia was sending us her positive energy and the desire to continue with the shoot that she wanted so much and had planned with so much Love ❤️

Antonia, we all hope that you will get better and that you will be able to continue with your modelling career.

Wishing you to get well soon.

Sending you lots of energy from all of us involved.

We felt like "Family"

It literally is been a dream come true for me to work with Antonia, having waited the best part of four years. Her portfolio captivated me the very first time that I glanced upon it.

From the moment we finally met, I found Antonio to be a gentle, completely polite, extremely approachable young lady who made me feel comfortable. Since this was going to be the first time she and I would work together, I wanted to take the opportunity for us to introduce ourselves as people as well as professionals. I could have happily talked the hours away with Antonia as I found her an incredibly interesting, engaging, enlightening, very kind, understanding and deeply thoughtful individual with so much to offer.

On set, it became immediately apparent to me that she is a highly gifted model who displayed a wonderful range of dynamics. She effortlessly goes from portraying a cosy and friendly personality, such as might have been found in a woman's magazine or an edition of Playboy in the 1960's/1970's, to a scary, empowering and explosive one.

Antonia and I covered a variety of photographic styles from vintage fashion to lingerie and art nude.

In addition, I am very grateful to her for being very patient with me during the shoot while I fussed with analogue photography equipment.

The last four years have definitely been worth the wait, and I truly hope that I may find another chance to work with this lovely lady and amazing model in the very near future.

Thank you so much Antonia for a truly unforgettable day. Please let me leave you with my highest recommendation.

I have just spent the most wonderful and productive afternoon with Antonia.

She very kindly applied to one of my castings so I jumped at the chance to bring her up to my home studio to mess about for a few hours.

She arrived on time and well prepared, she posed well without direction and worked hard to achieve results.

Great model and great person, loved working with her and look forward to doing so again soon.

Heavenly Bodies Studio

It was a complete pleasure to host Antonia again at our little studio "Heavenly Bodies Studio" for another studio day recently! :)

Antonia is such a beautiful person to be around- upbeat, hardworking, professional and very reliable. Every photographer who worked with her sung her praises and greatly enjoyed her company.

Highly recommended to all photographers and creatives and really hope to catch up soon! Helen & Roger🌹

This was the third time we have shot together. The shoot location was at Heavenly Bodies Studio hosted by Helen Diaz. The photography session was 3hrs long but it seemed like three minutes, always the same when you are enjoying yourself. Antonia is a very talented model with a good selection of poses and an excellent understanding of studio lighting. I would certainly recommend her.

Antonia sets her standards amazingly high, but we achieved them ! An incredible session in every respect - in a word "perfection" - Wow !!

Thank you, Antonia, for some amazing images and a productive and enjoyable shoot 😁

I had a wonderful 2nd duo shoot with Antonia and her good friend Purpleport model Ash Ashton in Somerset very recently. They work beautifully together, and once again it was fantastic to have Antonia's jolly company and amazing sensual creativity and beauty. As always when you're having a good time, the day shot by!

I can't wait for next time! Thanks, ladies!

What an amazing model. Very professional and it shows in the quality of her work. She is the master (or should that be mistress) of all poses.

Loved shooting with Antonia even though she made me look very amateur.

If you've not shot with her yet what are you waiting for? You won't regret it. Best money I have ever spent on a model

Andrew Fairclough Photography

perfect professional model , my first time shooting Antonia and I'm sure wont be the last. Knows how to get great images and knows lighting better than a lot of photographers

Antonia is great get her booked !!

Hampson St Studio

After Antonia being on one of the Photography Holidays Abroad trips and being such a fantastic model I knew her coming to the studio is a must. Being based in Somerset she is over 4 hours away from the studio so I put together a 2 day studio event to make it worth her while coming. We ended up filling the two days and Antonia worked hard on both, the images created from everyone are stunning and everyone loved her. Not only did she have a fantastic selection of clothing with her but she was a down to earth, fun, bubbly person to have along. I've also been asked to get her back soon so watch this space. Looking forward to working with her again in September in the Algarve too. 100% recommend to all photographers.

Wow just wow. I had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Antonia on Star Wars Day & yes I am going to use a pun, she was out of this world. I have been lucky enough to shoot with a lot of models & she is way up there with the best of the best, & with an awesome personality, wicked sense of humer as well. If you haven’t worked with her then get her booked. I will definitely be booking her again. Thank you for a fantastic day Antonia. Highly Recommended.

Second shoot with this lovely and amazing model. Absolute perfection.

My first shoot with Antonia while she was in the North, we had planned to shoot before but that didn't work out. A very easy model to work with and quickly understood what I was looking for, a great shoot, with a model I can definitely highly recommend.
