I had my first shoot with Ariel, working with her at Natural Light Spaces.

She was an absolute joy to work with! Easy to talk to, enthusiastic, creative, lots of ideas for shots, and obviously very talented with her aerial art and dance styles :)

We had discussed what we wanted to achieve beforehand, so the shoot flowed nicely.

Ariel is highly recommended by me, and hope to shoot with her again soon!

Worked with Ariel for the third time to capture more dance and hoop for the first time at Natural Light spaces. Another wonderful and exhilarating shoot with such a high octane model and performer. We captured some exciting dance shots with jumps, explored some show- girl outfits using the hoop, worked some portraiture and still found time and energy to explore the alternative. Ariel has amazing energy and can free flow so easily when she knows what is sought. It is always a total pleasure working with HER and waiting for that gob-smacking moment when she just pulls something unexpected to bring out that memorable/best image. Can't wait to explore more in the coming months and thoroughly recommend working with Ariel. You will never be disappointed!

I was looking to do some dance photography on location in my home town of Sheffield. I had the locations in mind and made up a mood board of what I wanted to achieve.

I had received a want to work with message from Ariel and then went to her portfolio. I was very impressed with her work and her dedication to dance of all forms. She really is a dancer and not a model who poses like one. This was just what I wanted.

We had excellent pre-shoot coms with detailed and swift replies despite her busy schedule.

As Ariel says in her reference the shoot was split between myself and my friend Laura, who had not dome much model or dance photography previously. Must be said she treated us both in a professional yet friendly manner, was genuinely interested in our ideas and did everything and more to help us get the shots we wanted.

I would recommend Ariel to photographers who are looking for a highly trained and accomplished dance model and I already have plans to shoot with her again in the future.

Thank you Ariel.

Ariel, you are both beautiful and talented. I had the most fantastic 4 hours on my first Dance shoot in Sheffield

Ariel, as the true perfectionist, who was able to execute and deliver on every shot, meaning I have come away with some stunning images, I can't wait to start editing. Nothing is too much trouble for Ariel, she was very friendly and patient throughout. It really was a pleasure to work with Ariel and i highly recommend anyone considering dance photography to get her booked as you will not be disappointed.

Thanks once again for a wonderful experience

I had my very first shoot with Ariel, at Image red studio in Tamworth, on Thursday. I came away a VERY happy chappie! Ariel is just amazing to work with, so energetic and lively! Her personality shines through as well, she ENJOYS her dancing, in whatever form and you can see it on her face as she moves. I had tried but never really succeeded at catching "dance" and "wavy hair" images, after working with Ariel? I've got LOTS of images to edit.

100% recommended to anyone who wants to catch those "fast action" dance/movement poses. Thank you Ariel for a fun filled couple of hours, if you don't mind? I'll be back 👌.

What an absolute pleasure to meet and work with this lovely young lady. Ariel has a great personality, she bubbles with enthusiasm and truly enjoys her modelling. She is multi talented with her pole and dance styles and takes a cool portrait too. Ariel’s communications were prompt, meticulous in nature and she was excellent at setting up her pole in our studio of choice. The shoot was a big change from my usual style as we used the studio strobe lighting throughout and I am delighted with the results. Ariel generates great poses on her own and also takes directions well to produce lovely images in a variety of styles. She is highly recommended to other creatives. Thank you Ariel for a wonderful booking.

I was great to meet and work with the awesome lady that is Ariel.

This was an underwater shoot and Ariel made it look easy and elegant, I can tell you that is a great talent because it is far from easy.

Ariel's enthusiasm and passion for this shoot was evident from the start. She delivered a perfect creative performance for our group and I have recieved lots of glowing comments from them.

I really hope we get to shoot together soon to work on some more creative ideas.

100% recommendation from me, and I pass on the same recommendation from all photographers on this shoot.

Had a fab shoot at Talkspace with Ariel. Its a challenging situation to shoot (for photographers - low light, etc) but Ariel although this was her first time shooting underwater, she was a natural. Thoroughly recommended.

Ariel was involved in a group event at Tank Space. This was her first time on this type of event but wow she smashed it. Ariel was given a brief on movement shapes before going under water and this amazing young lady just exceeded my expectations. Ariel turned up in good time with her own wardrobe to suit the event.

I feel we I got the images i wanted, with her talent as not only an exceptional model but dancer, swimmer and pole exerciser what more would you need.

Therefore who could not give an outstanding reference well done Ariel I hope our paths cross again during your tours.

John Askey

I had the pleasure of working with Ariel for the first time today at Tankspace. Not your average shoot, first time she had worked underwater and she took to it like a fish…a very elegant and talented fish :-) Her dance and performance experience shone through and she was able to create some fantastic shapes in the water.

Ariel is a genuinely lovely person, very friendly and chatty (outside of the tank :-)), easy to work with and a true professional who tries 100% to make sure you get the shot!

I would highly recommend Ariel to any photographer and hope to get the chance to work with her again in the future. (Y) (Y) (Y)

Studio Fifty Eight

Well what an amazing girl and amazing all round model Ariel is!!! Ariel came to the studio to get some promotional shots and video for a forthcoming idea we are working on at the studio. Ariel is one of the most organised and clever model I know!! Her communications are just incredible and organisational skills are brilliant!! Im so looking forward to getting our idea up and running so watch out!! Her pole skills are amazing and turns from one genre to another with total ease. So looking forward to working together. Thank you Ariel!!! Best regards Andy.

Always knew we would meet to shoot and the day came. It was a total pleasure sharing ideas and working with an easy exchange of ideas to capture her in those classic dance moves and poses but I never expected to witness such flexibility. She knew what I was wanting to secure but free flowed in such an effortless way to build on the 'classics'. I brought ideas and props and Ariel immediately brought an energy and enthusiasm to the creative table which made for a rewarding and fulfilling shoot. It's quite easy to get physically tired of shooting but it takes a lot to find that feeling coupled with creative exhaustion as well.

So nice to connect with such a versatile, intelligent, imaginative and patient person. I whole heartedly recommend Ariel and we will be seeking out ways to engage with more themes both in studios and out and about.

Thank you for an amazing and awesome first shoot.

After seeing Ariel in my Studio on a private booking i immediately knew she would be ideal for a Model day here. so i booked her shortly after !

Sure enough on the day she worked tirelessly for 8hrs showing great enthusiasm throughout the day. Ariele has a bubbly friendly personality, has a great wardrobe and the ability to model in a number of Genres

Just had a fantastic shoot with Ariel at Hallam mill. Words such as friendly, bubbly, fun, energetic do not really do justice to Ariel’s persona as she created a really great feel to our time together. We had a few ideas up front but the ease with which she interpreted them to make some great shapes and moves made two hours that just flew by. We managed to get through quite a few looks in the time slot mainly due to Ariel nailing things so very quickly. She comes highly recommended by me.

This was my 2nd shoot with Ariel today, as a part of her day at Hallam Mill.

Ariel was at the studio in loads of time before I arrived and had a huge assortment of items to shoot with.

We had a productive couple of hours and as before I found Ariel to be enthusiastic and willing to strive to get some good pictures. Very easy to talk to and work with, the time flies by.

She has a keen eye for detail and likes to get thing precise, which is always welcomed from me. Very patient and willing to redo a pose to refine the results.

I have only huge positive comments for Ariel, she is an absolute treasure to work with, I would recommend her 100% to all photographers.

Obviously I would be very happy to book Ariel again in the future.

I arranged a shooting with Ariel in Hallam Mill. Ok what can I say for Ariel! Ariel is a complete professional! She has amazing performing and dancing skills, which are rare for a model, and she can cover a wide range of different styles! Also, she is coming very well prepared with a big number of outfits. So you will always have options to select between different outfits! And the most important?? Such a lovely person with a smile always in her face! All photographers know how important is this, as this is reflected in the photos, and also, you can not realise how quick the time flies when you shoot with her! So, highly recommended model, can't wait to shoot again with her!!! Thank you for the amazing shooting Ariel!

Ariels work ethics preceeds her. A shining example for others on how to run your modelling as a business. Hense I had wished to work with her since a good friend highlighted all those positive ethics to me. Ariels thirst for knowledge and advancement is emmence.

As I expected Ariels communications is amazing. Always replying promptly and thoughtfully ensuring every detail was covered. So as she was passing through my area at the end of one of her tours she suggested it made perfect sense to shoot. The plan was formulated for a 2 hour sunset shoot staying over for a 6 hour relaxed and fun shoot the next day covering ballet, lowkey bodscapes with oil and water effects then finally a couple of decorative rope ties (shibari style). Working to her implied levels all my expectations were totally exceeded. Looking through the images I am well chuffed with what was achieved. At the end of our shoot Ariel still had a spare bag of energy also stuffed full of spare enthusiasm - now that is a wow.

As I expected I only had to suggest a theme with a simple brief and the resulting poses came in a flurry of variety which naturally flowed covering all the anticipated compositions required with a unique flair seamingly effortless even though some of the positions were physically demanding to hold.

On top of all of that Ariel is so easy to get along with - even laughing at my corny jokes. She has an adorable pleasent and fun character, very well balanced with an intellegent business mind well beyond her years.

To state that I would recommend Ariel is indeed an understatement. We have already booked a date for her next visit knowing there is just so much more to cover, and I know that to will be an amazing beautiful shoot. Thank you so much.

Had a great 1st shoot with Ariel recently, a dance-themed photoshoot on a beach at sunrise.

Sadly the weather did not play ball, but despite it being cold, a bit rainy and no sun, Ariel put in a huge amount of effort with no complaint, ensuring that we captured some great images despite the weather doing it's best to not help!

Ariel's portfolio speaks for itself, she is not just a fabulous dancer, but a fabulous model, showing great creativity, great range of posing and movement and works hard and collaboratively to ensure that we capture the best images that we can.

Great communications, all in all I very highly recommend Ariel. We've already started talking about working together again, this time it'll be in a studio where the weather can't interfere!
