References for Artemis Fauna

I went on Artemis Fauna's Luxury trip to Portugal last year and I said, at the time, it was the best three days ever. Well, I have to eat my words because this time it was even more fantastic. Relaxed, yet full of different photo-opportunities; organised, yet laid-back. IainT catered for us again and drove us to some fabulous locations that they'd scouted out previously. Artemis and Carla Monaco work so well together and on their own. I've run out of superlatives so to sum up, this trip was even better than the best time ever! I can't thank you enough :)

I have recently returned from a second photoshoot in the Argarve, Portugal, organised by Artemis Fauna, with Carla Monaco as the superb second model. Both models and photographers were ably supported by Iain T, with humour and consideration. The trip was very well organised by Artemis and she and her team went out of their way to make the photoshoot productive, original, and enjoyable. Nothing was too much to make the trip memorable and value for money. I have worked with Artemis on a number of occasions previously and I went on her first Portugal trip last year. Artemis was her usual professional, flexible and beautiful model, who went out of her way to ensure the photographers captured the images they wanted. I knew that this trip had two of the best models on the circuit for us to work with and that both models would do their level best to ensure we came home with a variety of high quality images. They were successful in this. I look forward to joining Artemis and her team on another trip in the future.

This was my 3rd or 4th time with Artemis but it's the first time I feel I've done her justice which is just as well considering we were in Portugal along with Carla Monaco and Iain T - chef, driver, host who never let your glass empty and a font of considerable knowledge both photographic and life. A fully first class experience. I learnt so much from just watching these three and the three photographers work that was worth the money alone.

Artemis's passion from morning to early morning to ensure we enjoyed the trip was evident, then in front of a lens she was on fire. I owe her big time for some very intense sets.

Images fade, memories blur, friendships endure.

This was not a shoot in the normal sense - it was a 3 day photo-safari in the lovely Algarve. Staying at a superb villa near Silves all aspects were extremely well organised and carried out. From arrangements for picking up at the airport to final departure at the end.

Each days activities were very well thought out and planned with a number of styles and locations to work on. From a relaxing first day at the villa to secluded beaches; derelict villas and restaurant; day/night shoots in Silves; fields and orange groves.

It was a memorable trip, with excellent food & drink and the company of fellow photographers.

Many thanks to too the indispensable IainT who was chef, driver and location scout.

Carla Monaco was our other lovely and delightful model, who along with Artemis, braved Atlantic waves, grotty abandoned buildings, creepy crawlies etc to create some wonderful scenarios for us the photographers to snap way to our hearts content.

A truly wonderful trip, thank you all.

Artemis Fauna loves a challenge, she works hard and makes you look good. What more do you want?

I am sure everyone knows how great it is to shoot with Artemis Fauna. Our shoot on Monday was no exception. The location was lovely, and Artemis was her usual professional self whilst shooting, and her delightful quirky self in between sets. It is so easy to work with Artemis, as she is friendly and funny and our session was downright fun. The images back of camera look great, and I cannot wait to get some out and onto purple port!

Just had my third shoot with Artemis, will I be going back for more?, most definitely :-)

Thanks Artemis

I had my first shoot with Artemis today and was a pure joy from start to finish.

We worked through lots of different styles bouncing ideas off each other throughout to create some fantastic images. It's obvious why Artemis has so many positive references a total professional and pleasure to work with.

I honestly recommend Artemis to anyone and look forward to working with her again.

Reference 1081 - It's not an easy thing to write about such a well known model who has so many previous references (where she is recommended in every one). What can I add that hasn't been said before? I was lucky enough to work with Artemis twice in four days (I had met her the year before when I assisted another photographer during a shoot, so I knew she was a class act). My first shoot was at Studio Hire Plymouth where I shot some fashion/beauty themed images. Artemis had brought a eclectic range of clothing and accessories and her hair and makeup was perfect. Artemis needs no direction and her posing is brilliant, which allowed me to concentrate on setting up the lighting and taking care of any technicalities. We managed to complete four individual sets in a relatively short period of time and I am delighted with the results. A few days later Artemis phoned me regarding a concept of shooting some editorial styled androgynous images in Paignton with Amie Boulton. This was something new for me and of course I agreed, and so the stage was set. The shoot was very productive and a whole lot of fun and I am really pleased with the images that we produced, a real team effort.

Apart from being a very versatile, beautiful and accomplished professional model, Artemis is also lovely company, chilled out, funny, and very relaxing to work with. If you haven't worked with her before, I highly recommend that you consider a booking. Thanks Artemis, I'm looking forward to working with you again in the future :)

Artemis and I co-modelled for PG Pix at Natural Light Spaces, doing some andro fashion and aerial hoop sets together. Since she has been a big inspiration to me since I started modelling I was a little star-struck it must be said, even though I've met her a few times at the studio before - but she really is totally lovely, a joy to work with and not at all scary! And she is an amazing model of course, on the duo aerial hoop set she grasped the poses instantly and has great strength and grace. Recommended wholeheartedly by me and hopefully we will get to work together again soon :)

Back in 2009 I met a beautiful, creative young woman who was just starting out on her modelling journey. Right from the start I could she she was a special talent. Her affinity with art and her intuitive understanding of shapes and shadows, lines and light marked her out as exceptional.

Fast forward 8 years and umpteen shoots later and that talent has blossomed a hundred fold. I love the fact that she still has an infectious enthusiasm for modelling and a thirst to grab every creative opportunity that comes along. As the saying goes, the truth will out. A diamond will always sparkle.

That ability remains apparent whether she is behind or in front of the camera or any other medium for that matter. I know that whenever we get together I will end up doing something new, something different, something incredible. For Artemis has that rarest of gifts, originality. Long may her star shine bright into the deepest, darkest night.

This was my second shoot with Artemis. I wanted to try my hand at some fantasy type pictures, and although my ideas were a little weird, Artemis did her very best to make sure my concepts worked. Artemis gave a lot of input into the shoot and went with my themes, bringing them to life. You have to give everything a go at least once, and Artemis was really great with letting me experiment outside of the box. I have had a quick look at the pictures and think I have some really quirky ones, which is great! Artemis is a fantastic model, so easy to work with and I very highly recommend her. If you have not worked with her yet - book her now!

Thank you for the lovely shoot!

This week I worked with Artemis at Joel Hicks studio

I have worked with this lady on numerous occasions but this was the first location shoot

Photography is about converting the image concept or aspiration into a picture.

Artemis is the best I know at doing this, the model can be the subject of a shoot, but Artemis is more than this, helping conceptually, technically and working with the photographer to create the desired image, add a great sense of humour and you have the ability to creat great images and have great fun.

I always walk away from an Artemis shoot, with a memory card full of great pictures and a smile on my face having enjoyed the shoot

Very very highly recommend

This was my 3rd time working with Artemis and was a very last minute arrangement at Joel Hicks Photographic. It's always a privilege and pleasure working with this very professional young lady who need very little direction and is always willing to throw here ideas into the pot meaning you will always get images to your liking. in the 2hrs I had we were able to achieve 4 very productive sets and some amazing images.

Hopefully won't be so long next time before I get work with her again.

Thanks you for such a wonderful afternoon.

Highly recommended *****

I had a fantastic outdoor location shoot with Artemis and she is a real treasure, very professional, very beautiful and full of ideas to help add that additional touch to further improve upon the photos. Artemis is great fun to work with, and was not worried at all by the constantly changing weather in a very exposed location, although it was dry, the temperature dropped considerably, but Artemis was not phased by this at all.

I thoroughly recommend her, her pre-shoot comms were excellent, and I am looking forward to working with her again.

Many many thanks again!!!

Best wishes Chris

Totally awesome summed up!!

I briefly worked with Artemis late last year and got to know her as a person so when i knew she was coming down this way on tour, i needed to work with her. Ive always admired her work and really wanted to do a duo shoot....yey.... we had the chance when the lovely Andrew Rowe stepped in last minute on a teddy girl shoot. Absolutely loved it! we made great boys by the way !!! the results are insane and she is just as fantastic as a model as she is in person. Someone i am pleased to call my friend!! Roll on September for more fun eeek xx

Thank you Artemis for a wonderful photoshoot at Plymouth Studios this weekend. Professional, patient and friendly - it was a pleasure. Highly recommended!

Had my second shoot with Artemis on her south west tour, she is professional, fun and down to earth, can run with any idea and add her take to it producing what seems like effortless pose after pose.

We worked in a small local studio and did several sets, the time flew past. Hope to make it a third shoot if Artemis tours in the west country again.

I'm sure there is very little I can say about Artemis that hasn't been said hundreds of times before. I'm only just getting into model photography, so having the opportunity to shoot a pro like Artemis was always going to be daunting, but I needn't have worried :-) A friendly, patient, hard working lady with a professional reputation that is clearly deserved. Brilliant - come back to the South West soon :-)

Had the utmost privilege of doing a photoshoot with Artemis yesterday at Plymouth Studios, and what can I say, she came loaded with wonderful wardrobe of fashion design and worked tirelessly during the shoot. As always thanks to all who made the day so special. This lady is highly recommended. 👍
