Ariel and I had arranged a location shoot in Sheffield Botanical Gardens for last Tuesday, but the weather put a stop to that! However, we rescheduled for today, and the weather was perfect. 2 hours passed quickly and easily - Ariel is excellent company, relaxed and chatty. She arrived exactly on time, with a selection of outfits which perfectly matched the look I had said I was looking for. She poses well, perfectly following direction and adding plenty of excellent suggestions of her own. All in all, a very classy lady and a great model. I have no hesitation in highly recommending her to any photographer who may be considering a shoot with her.

I had the absolute privilege of working with Ariel at my home studio this weekend! :)

Ariel applied to my casting for a July shoot, and with great communications from her and a common wavelength we put together a bulletproof shoot plan with inspirational image references and everything. Ariel was perfectly on time on the day, and was friendly, fun and enthusiastic throughout the whole shoot.

We shot a variety of different genres including dance, art nude and beauty. I was particularly looking forward to working with Ariel on beauty as her enthusiasm for this genre really bubbled over and was very easy to get caught up in. Ariel has beautiful facial features, so everything was made much easier for me which was good as lockdown definitely made me feel a little rusty!

Ariel was also able to provide some excellent dance poses which took full consideration of my limited space and looked absolutely stunning.

We then moved onto some edgy wet t-shirt/fashion/implied nude style shots in both soft and hard light which were quite new for Ariel and gave us a chance to have a bit of playtime. We were both very comfortable with each other at this point, so it was easy to get some raw, emotive work (and have a bit of a laugh doing it!). We also added a few milk flow shots which Ariel was more than willing to have a go at.

Finally we did a little foot fetish work which was an excuse for yet more laughs, whilst providing some pretty shots that always seem to do well on instagram.

I'm really looking forward to working with Ariel to choose some beautiful shots to edit and I'm very happy to be able to include her in my second book due out in September.

Thank you so much Ariel, and I hope we shoot together again soon! :)

I had the pleasure of working with Ariel today after responding to a short notice casting. Communication was excellent, she brought the clothing that was requested to accommodate the shoot. She required no direction and took it well when asked. She is such a lovely person to work and I highly recommend her. I do hope I have the opportunity to work with Ariel again. Thanks for a lovely shoot Ariel, see you again soon.

I’ve just returned from an early morning shoot with the totally gorgeous Ariel.

She arrived bang on time, perfectly styled, with a huge smile on her face & ready to start work. As we’d already spoken about what we both wanted from the shoot, we cracked on & I managed to get all the images I needed.

Ariel is a polished model, well prepared & with her advanced dance training, any pose is effortless & beautifully executed.

A very classy lady & 100% recommended.

I had the pleasure of another photo shoot with the very beautiful Ariel on Sunday. She was incredibly patient as she waited for me and my assistant to get the lighting right so that we could get on with some beauty/fashion photography. She is so enthusiastic about modelling and has such a very likeable personality. This always helps when you’re trying something different from what you usually do.

A real pleasure working with Ariel and of course highly recommended by me to fellow photographers!

Whimsical Sorceress

I worked with Ariel with An Eye For Beauty's project.

Ariel stood very well for the 3 hour bodypaint and makeup. She followed instructions well and was a joy to work on. Very good even skin, excellent for makeup and bodypaint work and there was no mobile phone in sight when bodypainting her, what a dream.

Her modelling skills and the work on the hoop were brilliant and I would love to do more work with her showcasing more of her skills. Her communication was great thoughout the process.

Very highly recommended and a one to watch.

An Eye for Beauty

I could not have chosen a better overall performer/model than Ariel for my circus project in these last few days -'Le Cirque des Filles'.

We had a lot of communication leading up to the two sessions which we enjoyed at Natural Light Spaces: so much so that when we finally met we seemed like 'old friends'.

Ariel was full of enthusiasm and a fulsome smile which was a major plus for a 'show' which was meant to be over the top.

In the first session, in which I shared alternative two hour slots with 'Wavepower' as photographer/assistant, she performed dance, trapeze, aerial hammock and hoop with great elan, as well as costume poses - showgirl, belly dancer and fans.

In the second session we had the wonderful skills of 'Whimsical Sorceress' who transformed Ariel into a 'leopard' with top to toe body paint. Again Ariel rose to the part and entered fully into the role of a 'big cat', with even some appropriate sound effects. Supported as a 'tamer' by 'Nicky Phillips' she rolled over to have her tummy tickled, having us all in fits of laughter. It is a measure of her delight and joyfulness.

I was certainly tired after 16 hours of shoot over 4 days, but Ariel's personality provided the extra bounce to deliver great shots right to the end.

I can heartily recommend Ariel on all counts: communication, personality, aerial and dance skills, modelling, and entering into every role cast upon her. Nothing was too much trouble.

Sometimes it can be a bit scary working with a new collaborator, especially for this amount of time. In the case of Ariel my choice was well founded. Will we shoot together again? She is based a long way away from me, but I certainly hope so. Thank you Ariel so much for some fun and productive days.

This was my first shoot with the lovely Ariel, a shared shoot with 'An Eye for Beauty' at the Natural Light Spaces.

'An Eye for Beauty' had approached me to see if I was interested in joining in with him for a circus based project over several days at the NLS. He offered me a number of possible days, one of those he had already selected Ariel as the model. As Ariel was already on my list of models to work with in 2020, so I chose that day to share with Graham. We both wanted to use Ariel's aerial talents.

In our preshoot comms Ariel communicated quickly, clearly and enthusiastically. She was very supportive of our ideas and I got a strong feeling from our exchanges that we would collaborate well (and so it proved on the day).

Ariel is an absolute delight to work with. She has a lovely fun, bouyant but business like disposition, which makes the shoot both enjoyable and productive. She was very easy to discuss ideas with, and very willing to chip in ideas and supportive comments - and to add fun comments and laugh when things don't quite go as intended.

She worked really well with us. It was a phyically demanding day for her with a fair amount of aerial work particularly on hoop and trapeze, which she is clearly skilled at (unfortunately the Pole as not available on the day which we all missed). Despite that she was enthusiastic and energetic throughout the long day. In my parts, I included some dance and art nude shape work as relief to the aerial demands, which Ariel excelled at too. Altogether she is a versatile model for aeriel, dance, and shape work.

As a trained dancer and ariel performer, Ariel is keen to make the poses and moves as good was we both could get them - which is right up my street. She had no issue at all with repetitions of poses / moves even when they placed tough demands on her muscles.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ariel.

Thank you for a splendid day Ariel, I really enjoyed working with you.

I am glad that I am Ariel 50th reference.

This was my second shoot with Ariel and as the last time was amazing.

Ariel's pre-shoot communication was excellent, she arrived on time and was full of energy.

Her dance skills are amazing, you can easily see that Ariel is a professionally trained dancer, the poses Ariel do are extremely technically difficult but she makes them look easy.

Ariel is a perfectionist, extremely talented and this shows in all her poses.

Ariel is professional, easy to work with, friendly and can get into amazing poses on her own however will also take direction.

Highly recommended and will book another shoot with her.

Ariel very kindly stepped in to do a ballet style shoot I had organised where another model had to cancel. Pre-communications were great, she was punctual and organised when arriving for the shoot. She was professional and great to work with. She did amazing poses, adapting to each situation and looked perfect for the shoot. I really enjoyed our shoot together and highly recommend her. All together fabulous :-).

I can't speak highly enough about Ariel. I should also start by thanking her once more. Great pre shoot comms, punctual,great selection of dancewear, and great fun to shoot. Photographing Ariel was a new experience for me in shooting a dancer, and playing with studio lighting. Ariel was full of ideas and poses, and helped me by working her talent and professionalism into my ideas. Ariel made the whole process a very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday, very pleasant, very patient while I faffed about with lights, witty and chatty and breathtakingly talented. Ariel is also a dap hand now with Sekonic light meters - which was a big help! I left determined to take more dance shoots - but Ariel has set a very high bar. I look forward to working with you again.

Ariel was very communicate before the shoot and was very punctual, making shoot coordination a breeze. Ariel arrived with a wealth of outfit choices, which was appreciated. On location Ariel is fantastic, she’s fun, creative, professional, outgoing and has some fantastic dance pose skills - she will work her hardest to get the shot for you. Despite the cold November forest temperatures, Ariel soldiered on and maintained her great personality. Thanks Ariel, I look forward to working with you again soon!

Superb shoot today with the Amazing Ariel!

We had been arranging the shoot for some time after Ariel had added me to her WTWW list and it was well worth the wait. Pre Shoot comms were great where we collaborated on ideas on Pinterest. Ariel came fully prepared with a variety of outfits and was patient whilst I fiddled about with lighting.

We achieved some stunning images and she is a delight to work with.

Highly recommended from me and I hope we do another shoot in 2020

Thanks Ariel :-)

I had a fashion/fitness shoot today with the very beautiful Ariel. She turned up on time and well-prepared with everything we had agreed. Ariel has a wonderful personality which really did help the shoot to go smoothly; in fact, I enjoyed it so much that I think we went into extra time! As well as having great ideas, Ariel took to my ideas with great enthusiasm.

She is definitely somebody I would work with again, and of course, I would wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful professional model to fellow photographers.

Having not shot with a Model before I was very grateful to Ariel for agreeing to do a 2 hour Portrait session with me. Although I arrived early at Ariel’s home she was ready and fully prepared for the shoot. We discussed the shoot before hand and Ariel was very helpful and full of ideas for the best locations to get the most out of the natural light.

Ariel is very easy to work with, she has a great personality and big smile, she made me feel at ease for our first shoot, I look forward to being able to work with her again soon.

Highly recommended.

I was fortunate to be invited by Ariel to attend her workshop as the photographic tutor.

Ariel is 100% professional and dedicated to her modelling and dance, her attention to detail and hard work is something all models should aspire to. She helped the photographers and would not let them take any old rubbish but worked hard so that they could attain great images and knowledge on just how professional images are produced and the work required.

Rest assured Ariel will not just pocket your hard earned cash but you will get much more than value for money. A true professional not like many I could mention!

I was lucky enough to be able to work with Ariel for the first time on her ‘Outdoor Dance Tuition Event’ along with the tutor hipimages.

It was a fantastic day of dance and tuition.

Ariel's enthusiasm is beyond belief.

Ariel has a wonderful way of taking ideas and developing them and working incredibly hard to deliver the very best she can and reviewing each image to improve on each shot until it's just right.

Ariel and hipimages were great persons to work with.

Communications beforehand were excellent

Ariel is absolutely recommended and very much hope I can work with her again

i had the pleasure of having a 4hr shoot with ariel at her home after replying to a casting she posted.the shoot was arranged and confirmed very quickly.

i had messaged ariel with by ideas and on arrival she had everything ready after a quick drink we started work the shoot was lingerie/boudoir/concealed nude and the bedroom was perfect for the styles.ariel is also a trained dancer so is expert at using that skill moving her body with ease and if need be hold a pose and you get far more than the usual poses.

i always show models the images as we work and ariel will comment on any images give her thoughts.the range of lingerie is great.one thing i loved about ariel is her smile and range of facial expressions she can give you from sexy to queen victoria not amused [lol]

overall only one fault.the 4hrs passed far too quickly i had image ideas in my head and without doubt i got the images i wanted and lots of them.on quickly checking very few will need to be editted and that is down to ariel giving 1000% effort.

would i recommend ariel yes without question.i rarely work with a model more than once but ariel is without doubt on my MUST WORK WITH AGAIN list

thank you so much for a brilliant shoot
