There are many words I could use to describe Astrid but one would be ‘wow!’ We made quick and concise plans and within a few days we where shooting in a beautiful location Astrid suggested. She turned up with her make up and hair done perfectly with everything we had discussed to do the shoot. Astrid is such a lovely, bubbly young lady and I don’t think we stopped talking the whole time. The images are mesmerising and Astrid poses without direction. We have already spoke about our next shoot and I totally recommend Astrid.

2nd shoot with Astrid, and i hope not the last. This time i had responded to Astrid's casting for a Christmas themed retro shoot, so that's what we did! Turned my house into a little Christmas grotto (in mid November) and worked through loads of scenarios with Astrid looking and modelling spectacularly. We got a lot of photos. A lot! Astrid is happy to fluidly work through poses and takes direction very well. Honestly though, really didn't need to give any! It's always great fun working with Astrid.

What a lovely human being Astrid is.

We had our first shoot yesterday, various lingerie sets at my home. Great pre-comms meant we were both on the same page on the day so deciding what to do next was simply a case of figuring out which lingerie sets would work best with the available light and the room arrangements.

I loved working with Astrid. She's confident, fluidly moves through poses herself as well as taking direction well. We were both surprised at how many shots we managed to capture together, and even squeezed in a little video.

I'd be delighted to work with Astrid again, thanks for a great shoot.

Latex & Lingerie

I had a simply wonderful shoot with Astrid recently. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and she turned up ready to shoot with makeup done to an incredibly high standard. We shot a range of styles, starting with latex and then moving on to lingerie, Astrid is simply amazing at posing and seems to be able to come up with an endless array and was also equally very receptive to try out ideas which resulted in an exceptionally high number of usable shots. Really easy to get on with and really fun to shoot with, I really hope we get the chance to shoot again soon, very highly recommended.

I worked with this gorgeous lady for the first time today.

She arrived before the time arranged and brought lots of amazing props!

Astrid is so easy to get along with and had some great ideas for the shoot and also welcomed any ideas we had too.

She brought her partner who was very friendly and was extremely helpful throughout the shoot. He made sure we had a break and stayed warm as we got a bit cold during the shoot.

Astrid kindly asked me about how close I felt comfortable with her which was very polite!

She's an absolutely gorgeous model and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone whether it be a photographer or model!

First time working with Astrid (and first due shoot too) today. What a pleasure she is to work with!

Came fully prepared with props and ideas galore and her very helpful partner.

Communications also great beforehand.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her and look forward to working with Astrid again soon!

Second shoot with Astrid, and it was as great as the first. This time we headed to a beach in Sussex. Astrid is such a natural model and an interesting conversationalist. The shoot could not have gone any better and the sea temperature was warm enough that even I managed to get into the water.

Astrid has a great figure for a variety of genres, and is equally stunning in a casual dress as she is in a swimsuit. Beaches are not the easiest places to shoot in the middle of the day, but we worked the location well and I was very pleased with the results we obtained.

Simply one of the best models I have ever shot with, and highly recommended.

Fabulous shoot with Astrid at a great location in Sussex. Astrid was accompanied on the shoot by her partner Ashley, who was a great help throughout the shoot. They both had put an impressive amount of thought and planning into the shoot and brought along a variety of outfits and props which married very well to the location.

Astrid is a very level headed and beautiful model and posed with great assurance throughout the shoot. We shot until it was too dark for my camera to focus - that is how good a day it was. Astrid gave me great feedback on the back-of-camera shots as the shoot progressed and we were able to tailor the lighting to create some very evocative styled images.

Highly recommended and I hope we can shoot again in the future.

Had a fantastic lifestyle fashion shoot with Astrid in Brighton last week.

Photoshoot precoms were great and both sides stayed updated right until the actual shoot.

Astrid stayed very energetic and positive throughout the shoot.

Following my directions in the professional and creative manner, made everything go easily and smoothly.

It was such an enjoyable photoshoot.

I definitely recommend her.

Astrid was very patient and understanding when I had to rearrange our first shoot at short notice, but after a few setbacks we did eventually get to work together yesterday and it was definitely worth the wait. Communication throughout the whole process was easy, and we had a good idea of what we were going to shoot when we turned up.

We shot latex in a fairly busy location on a very hot day, and Astrid was full of enthusiasm and confidence - she wasn't put off by either the temperatures, nor several passers by at our location, and worked hard to get the best possible shots.

She is also an easy going person to talk with and great company for a day's shooting, and the hours flew by in no time due to being such an enjoyable shoot.

I'm hoping to work with Astrid again on some other ideas very soon as it was absolutely great to work with her, and I would definitely be happy to recommend her to other photographers.

Astrid came to my studio today for an alternative portrait and fashion shoot after which, we did a wacky Goth shoot. Astrid was up for this and we got some good images even if a little bit different from the alternative style.

Pre comms before the shoot were very good so that on the day we both new what was happening from the items of clothing to the travel arrangements, they were all sorted.

I found Astrid a pleasure to work with, a lovely person to be with and hopefully we will work together again to do another shoot soon.

I would recomend Astrid to other photographers and recomend booking her up for a shoot before she gets busy.

Thank you Astrid for great shoot.

Astrid Taylor is a wonder to work with. Her pre-shoot communications are excellent and the shoot was arranged with ease. She arrived on time with the outfits and her hair and make up in the styles discussed ready to shoot.

Astrid is very lovely person, friendly and chatty and very fun to work with while striving for the aims of the shoot. She knows poses that work well for her and happily takes direction very well.

Astrid works towards achieving the aims of the shoot and I am very happy with the resulting images.

I would have no hesitation in working with Astrid again. Astrid Taylor has my recommendation.

Second shoot with Astrid and another great outing. Studio based and location based in the sun and warmth. We went for a gothic look which Astrid is particularly well suited for.

Then on the way home some great shoots in the Bluebell woods. Will certainly be working more with Astrid and as we have both become more relaxed around each other only greater images can be created.

Had an amazing first shoot with Astrid today! :-) pre-comms were spot on so we knew exactly what we would be shooting and Astrid arrived in very good time at our meeting point :-) we had limited time available at the studio but Astrid excelled at quick outfit changes, including latex which can take a while so we were really able to make the most of the time and shoot a wide range of different sets :-) Astrid's posing was really great and she had some awesome creative input into the shoot - on top of that she is really easy to get on with and fun to work with - had a fabulous shoot and came away with some brilliant shots! :-) for a model who hasn't been shooting very long Astrid really shone, am sure she will go far with her modelling! :-) totally recommend Astrid and hope to work with her again V soon! :-)

This is the second time I've worked with Astrid; absolutely wonderful. Great personality, on time, perfect pre-coms before and after the shoot. Always has a smile on her face and willing to take directions easily while offering her own ideas to improve the shoot.

Very friendly and enjoys a good ole chat (which I love). 100% recommend and will book again; in face we've already discussed another shoot soon.

Had a great first shoot with Astrid in a small group shoot. Astrid is open to direction and poses very well, she also brings her own ideas as well which is great for a newbie like me.She is chatty and likes a laugh which makes for a pleasant experience all round. Would highly recommend Astrid to anyone and will definitely work with her again.

It was a real pleasure to work with Astrid today. We were lucky enough to have a nice, sunny (if rather cold), day. We worked around Chichester and managed to find some really cool locations.

Before the shoot Astrid's communications were excellent. She arrived on time and very well prepared, ready to shoot right away and with a selection of different alternative outfits.

Very professional throughout, I am more than happy to recommend Astrid and hope we can work together again very soon!

Wonderful days shoot. Great communications before hand and a pleasure to work with. Easy to chat with and relaxed throughout the couple of hours that we shot. Very photogenic with bags of natural beauty. Willing to try new things and adaptable to the shoot and what is required. Persevered through the cold and wind outdoors and kept smiling. Although still learning her trade Astrid came over as confident and well ordered and made suggestions of her own as the shoot developed. Certainly someone to recommend. Came with a chaperone who was quiet during the shoot but was an asset at correcting hair and clothing when needed. Thank you for your hard work and would certainly work with Astrid in warmer times.
