I have just returned from another Artemis photographic adventure – my second – and what an adventure it was! You really would need the Observer Book of Superlatives to describe it fully.

The whole affair not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them by a fair margin!

The accommodation was superb – a very modern villa with acres of glass, tonnes of natural light and a commanding view over the surrounding countryside. Just the thing to survey whilst waxing lyrical over a G&T, or indeed consuming one of Iain’s excellent suppers.

Shoots were planned to get the best of the light and provide a full but unhurried schedule both around the villa and at several carefully scouted locations in the area, and as ever we were chauffeured around by the tireless Iain T, who also organised supply chain logistics and magnificent catering.

Artemis and Ayla, of course, did what they do best, which is adding quite a large dash of beauty and elegance to the proceedings, whether dangling upside down from a tree or rock, or simply hanging around on a street corner looking nonchalantly sixties!

A splendid week I’ll never forget, so thanks, Artemis, Ayla & Iain. I’m looking forward to my next Artemis adventure already!

A few days ago I returned from the Algarve after my first experience of Artemis's 'Luxury All-Inclusive Photographic Trips'.

Doubt I can say more than already has been said. But it was a fantastic few days. Great accommodation, modern with lots of clean lines, presenting lots of potential - almost a little daunting on the first morning knowing where to start - but Artemis presented some great ideas.

Both before and throughout the trip Artemis worked tirelessly, meticulous planning, communication, styling / planning the next shoot / set, looking after attending photographers - not forgetting time in front of the camera - I'm not sure she had any time to herself.

I've returned with great memories and a good number of images to be added to the 'to-be-edited' pile.

Also a big thankyou to agreeing to the unscheduled additional early morning shoot.

Thanks must also go to the second model Ayla. Not forgetting Iain for being an excellent co-host, driver, cook, technical advisor.

Together Artemis and Ayla pushed me to create some great images - let's hope I can deliver.

My only complaint - 3 days wasn't long enough.

Thanks for the invite, and hope to attend further trips going forward

It's one thing to admire someone's work for its quality and variety - it's quite another to make the leap of courage to actually work with that person. When the day finally came I had more than my share of nerves and trepidation- would my lack of experience let me down?

I needn't have worried because Artemis is the ultimate professional, full of encouragement and creative ideas and thoroughly enjoyable company.. I'd booked a shoot at her lovely home with some time at the Secret Garden. We'd planned a variety of scenarios and just about managed to cover them all off, despite time seeming to run away with us, we were having so much fun. I'm delighted with the images we produced and can't wait to share them with Artemis.

I would work with Artemis again in a heartbeat - indeed I think that if my budget could stretch far enough that I might just have found my muse.

Thank you Artemis for a fun and productive shoot and I hope that we can work together again in the not too distant future.

I was so pleased that circumstances allowed me to attend the final "Secret Garden" shoot of 2018. Artemis has clearly worked hard to secure exclusive access to this exceptional location that should certainly be on the wish list of every photographer. Having worked with Artemis several times in the past, I had no hesitation in booking a place. Organising a group shoot like this must be tremendously complicated but Artemis was absolutely on top of this and everyone found the place without issue.

A mix of solo and duo sets as we explored the opportunities available were executed so beautifully and only the fading light could bring an end to the creativity such an outstanding model brings to a shoot.

Thank you so much for arranging this tremendous event and I hope we can do it all again very soon.

I was really pleased to be able to attend Artemis' final Secret Garden event of the year last week. Over the last few years I have shot with Artemis a number of times (so many I'm losing count now!) and with each shoot I get something different from this mercurial model. As well as being the most versatile, creative and beautiful model I've worked with Artemis also excels at organisation and communication and is a pleasure to work with.

Thank you Artemis and we will definitely have to do this again ... somewhere warmer for sure! :-)

I was lucky enough to book on Artemis's last "Secret Garden" shoot for this year. Lucky we were because it didn't rain, it was a group of very laid-back easy-going photographers and of course two fabulous models. Well done, girl, you sure know how to deliver shoots that satisfy us photographers. Looking forward to Portugal where I'm sure you'll challenge us to get out of our comfort zones once again.

By now it should go without saying that Artemis is highly recommended by me.

A day which must have tested Artemis's patience (apart from the fact that it was shooting with me). A long-term plan we'd had fell apart, even after all the fabulous weather we have had for "the plan". A glorious morning when i picked her up from Charlton Park in my aircraft to head for a series of locations around the Newquay area. Low cloud over Devon and Cornwall put a stop to that and we returned to Charlton Park. Not to be put off, Artemis soon had us up and running shooting at her flat, having lunch and some sets in her Secret Garden. As usual, she just takes everything in her stride, produces magic and makes it all look easy. Great images, great company and a plan to be resurrected!

Thanks so much, Artemis. Great to see you again and well rescued!!

Along with gazilions of others, I cannot recommend Artemis highly enough.

(If you're still bothering to read this epliogue, Artemis thought she might be the jinx but I proved that a false premise - having left her to fly home, low cloud scuppered that too and I had to divert into Oaksey Park for the night - all down to me then!)

I had a wonderful two part shoot with Artemis recently, firstly at Paul's Studio Wales Weekend and then at her home in Wiltshire. I have known and worked with her for some years now and it never ceases to be both a privilege and a pleasure. Artemis is an accomplished photographer in her own right and is always willing to provide useful guidance and advice.

Both locations were truly magical in their own right and are highly recommended. They provide excellent opportunities for truly great pictures and loads of fun and laughs.

I highly recommend Artemis and look forward to working with her again, either in studio or on location!

Yes I was intimidated, it put me off booking Artemis. But boy am I glad I got the opportunity to work with the Legend.

1300+ positive references.. A portfolio to die for and talent to put many others in the shade... Now, I'm intimidated in even writing her a reference :-)

So what am I going to say that's not already been thrashed to death out here before. Well Artemis, here's just my little drop to add to your ocean of references.

She is a photographer, she knows light, art, textures. And what looks good, when and where - even how. There are absolutely no flaws in her looks or her posing. And she'll tell you (nicely) what to correct if you show her the back of your camera, even repose so she can make it better.

So shove your intimidation where it don't shine and get to work with a true professional model - there are only a handful and Artemis Fauna just has to be in every photographers bucket list. Yes I said it, every photographer on PP should relish the chance to work with her. She will up your game! Period!

I was lucky to shoot with Artemis twice during Wales weekend, and as before she was both a lot of fun to work with as well as being very professional.

She contributed many good ideas, and her photographic knowledge was useful for advice on setting up shots. Looking though the pictures, there are a lot of good shots.

I would recommend her to any photographer and would like to work with her again.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Artemis for the third time. Once again, we shot a number of themes which were loosely based on the 1960's/1970's from my own photographic space. Since we were blessed with beautiful August weather, we also shot in my back garden as well as a nearby park.

My mother, who was invited to watch the shoot, was left in awe after she saw how much incredible hard work Artemis put in just a handful of poses. She commented afterwards that she could never do what Artemis does, she'd just run away! Ha ha!

No one needs any reminder that Artemis does everything from the heart. She is also an approachable, very friendly and chatty person who can never steer you wrong as well as a truly talented model. Therefore I can only give her my highest recommendation.

Thank you ever so much once again Artemis. I genuinely cannot wait to work with you again.

I have been lucky to work with the wonderful Artemis multiple times . This time I chose a random location near Edinburgh . We had another great shoot and managed a large variety of images . If you haven’t worked with Artemis, then why not ? She is wonderful

Had a great shoot with Artemis yesterday, full of ideas and very brave. I hadn't been in the studio much recently and started off a bit jaded but soon got caught up in her enthusiastic and professional energy. It turned out a very productive shoot.

Would definitely shoot with her again

An absolutely excellent shoot with Artemis in the studio in Edinburgh today. Artemis is an extremely versatile model, working with me through an exhausting shoot list with ease due to her great modelling abilities, energy and enthusiasm.

Recommended at the highest level.

I enjoyed a great shoot with Artemis as part of an event held by Candy Heart studios. Not only a great model, Artemis likes to get involved in the creation of the image so that you both get the most from the session.

Nice personality and all round beautiful person. I have no hesitation in recommending Artemis to all photographers.

Candy Heart

I ADORE WORKING WITH THIS GIRL.!!!!! (caps definitely warranted here)

This is the second year that I have booked this amazing model on her Scottish tour. This time she agreed to do 2 studio days with myself and other photographers, some whom I tutor. The effort that goes into image making with Artemis is exceptional, she really knows her stuff and is one of very few models I have worked with that has so much advise and input and really wants each photographer to come away with the best they can.

She is patient and good fun to be around, easy to get on with and I'd have her here anytime she likes. Everyone went away very happy indeed with the time they had spent with her and equally as happy with their images they created together.

I am as equally happy with the images we managed to create in the short time we had.

I can't really go on without staying what 1322 others have said before, yes she's blooming as fantastic as they have said!

100% recommended, already itching to shoot again.

Thank you for being wonderful. Cx

Having not been able to shoot Artemis on prior occasions, I made use of her and Candy Heart's offer for a tutorial morning last Monday. Not only is she incredibly versatile, but has a good knowledge of photography in general. I used available-light techniques I'd only read about, and with Artemis' guidance and modelling techniques I've upped my keep ration from about 10% to closer to 50%. Artemis is well worth booking, and her availability and references reflect a truly remarkable model. I now regret not shooting Artemis before and hope to get together with her again soon.

Wow just had an absolutely awesome shoot today with the force of nature that is Artemis Fauna. As soon as Candy Heart Photographer booked her I signed up for my two short hours to work with her.

We produced so many great photos and I can't wait to edit them over this week. Not only does Artemis pose freely without any need for directions but she also helped me with the menus on my camera so we got even better art nude photos.

I just wish I had booked more time as the two hours went by so quickly.

I, like all the other photographers she has worked with, whole heartedly recommend Artemis to all from newbie photographers right through to studio owners. I look forward to working with Artemis again in the future.

Thank you again Artemis for such a great shoot and helping me advance in my photography
