The fact that this was my third trip to Aurora in Budapest and I'm thinking about a fourth probably says as much as anything else!

We'd planned a shoot around Autumn colours, and despite unexpectedly cold weather managed that and much more besides. Illuminated Smurfs, hanging umbrellas and a ballgown on the Metro were just some of the highlights.

Throughout, Aurora was her usual fun yet professional self. She poses effortlessly and is happy to both make and receive suggestions. As ever, everything was well organised, with an agreed itinerary in pre-comms. Her apartment is cosy and ideally situated with easy access to public transport and restaurants, some of which are now firm favourites.

Absolutely and thoroughly recommended - if you haven't tried one of Aurora's trips you're really missing out!

This was my second trip to Budapest on one of Aurora's photography trip. I was delighted as it was as enjoyable as the first. Since last year Aurora has added several new locations which I was keen to explore. Being October, the weather was unpredictably and indeed the first few days it rained constantly. However Aurora was able to adapt the programme she had worked out for me to accommodate poor weather and this was done efficiently and the tour ran very smoothly.

Aurora's tours offer excellent value for money with plenty time for shooting and also taking in the amazing locations in Budapest. She is always on the outlook for new places to offer the photographer a unique experience. The range of locations we shot at will keep you entertained, from some very elegant and beautiful buildings, to wacky and quirky modern locations.From picturesque locations just outside the city to grungy urban settings. It is also possible to shoot in the most beautifully styled studios. The choice is amazing and she is always considering new ones. Accommodation is very comfortable indeed and Aurora and her husband make the photographer feel very welcome indeed.

Aurora is a hard working, talented and fun person to be around and will do everything she can to ensure your trip is memorable.My Scottish accent as always caused her and most Hungarians problems, but it also produced many moment of laughter and fun. Her choice of outfits always match well the locations and she will work with the photographer if there is a particular look they want. She is an experienced and skilled model and will ensure you have the images you want.

People joke Scottish people are, well a bit mean. And it's true we are canny with the money. But what you receive in her tours is probably the best value tour of it's kind that I've seen. If you want to visit a very cool city and get under it's skin with your camera, I would highly recommend going on one of her tours in 2025. Thank you again Aurora.

I was approached by Aurora this winter, she offering me to come to Budapest for a photography trip. We hade a good pre communication resulting in me booking a trip for a week (5 days of shooting).

Aurora organized so I could work with her and three other models. She planned several great locations in and around Budapest, locations that I would never as tourist would have found myself.

The models I worked with was great, and Aurora her self is a great model that I hope to work with again.

As an organizer for this trip Aurora is a real professional, I really was taking care of and she took me to restaurants that I as tourist never would have visited.

She is a really good company and a great personality.

I highly recommend Aurora as a model and as an organizer of her photo trips. It was a great experience and I loved my time spent in Budapest.

My wife Sally and I spent a wonderful five days with Aurora based at her Budapest apartment.Aurora is very professional, wonderful model and real fun to be with. Because she is based in Budapest she knows it inside out and over the five days we went to all of the iconic locations plus many lesser known places which created a huge range of different places to do wonderful photography both day and night.

Sally and I felt so relaxed in Aurora's company that we could freely chat about anything. Aurora must have been comfortable with us also as she would refer to me as Mr Grumpy if the walk to a location seemed a bit long for me! If you want to experience different locations with a great model I can fully recommend Aurora.

I will post some images on my site in due course but so many to go through first and will be very difficult to choose as they are all great images.

I shot with Aurora during my recent stay in Budapest.

We met at 5.30 in the morning to do a sunrise shoot with the backdrop of beautiful Budapest.

Aurora was very committed to the shoot. Highly prepared and organised. Her local knowledge is invaluable and she knows all the best places to go. We shot multiple outfits at lots of exciting locations. Aurora is very professional and works hard to get the best shot.

So my shoot with Aurora was very enjoyable and i am very happy that we got to shoot together.

I would also add that Aurora went to a lot of effort in offering me advice on good places to eat / visit etc. So this was also much appreciated.

I recently attended a photography trip in Budapest hosted by Aurora.

Let me just say it was a delight from start to finish. In fact, the end came too fast despite the trip's duration being one week long.

Aurora was able to make me feel at home from the get-go; she has a very welcoming and warm personality. During the trip, I had the opportunity to explore many incredibly gorgeous and varied locations in Budapest that provided excellent backgrounds for the shoots. We went from a princess to a jungle explorer one by way of an elegant, posh and a thermal bath queen theme.

As a model, Aurora is extremely versatile and talented. She will not hesitate to endure the most extreme temperatures, even at the cost of becoming an ice cube. She will spare no effort for you to create the best picture possible.

All in all, I can only recommend a photography trip with Aurora, and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. It is absolutely worth it and I would do it again if I could.

Nagyon fantasztikus volt!

I'd fancied a short fashion based photography trip for several years and nearly booked one in Paris before C-19 hit. When I saw a Forum post about such trips and mention of Auroras - I immediately checked it out. It looked fabulous and turned out to totally exceed my expecations and was truly FANTASTIC.

Koszi Aurora.

Off to Budapest for another photographic city break with Aurora, this time hoping to catch some winter snow. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas and mostly rained on us, but we just rearranged Aurora's carefully planned itinerary and worked round it.

As ever, we got some great shots and had fun while doing it. Aurora is brilliant to work with, talented and professional whilst also friendly and good to chat with.

Would I recommend her? Put it this way - this was my second trip and we're already talking about a third! :-)

Aurora is a very talented, easy-to-work-with model full of ideas! We had a few sessions and she's been absolutely amazing, showed up on time and well well-prepared for the photoshoot! I can highly recommend her!

I had inquired about doing one of Aurora's packages in Budapest, so I thought it a great idea for us to sound each other out when I saw she was coming to England. Comms were good. Both our jaws dropped when we saw the state of Space62 (I had never been there before), but she did n't complain, and was very professional in helping me make the best of it, and we ended up with some great images. Very glad I made contact.

Finally!!!

I have been a secret admirer of Aurora’s portfolio since my first weeks of joining PP… and sadly I never got the opportunity to work with her before she moved back to Hungary.

So it absolutely made my day when she got in touch to tell me she was briefly going to be in my area and would I care to shoot.

I think it took me all of about thirteen milliseconds to reply 😂😂😂.

I didn’t really have much of a plan where or what to shoot only that I knew I couldn’t miss the chance.

Aurora being the consummate professional made it so easy though. We really did click immediately like we’d been working together for years and I put that down to her experience more than mine.

After our shoot we enjoyed a great chat and bite to eat whilst making plans to shoot again hopefully in Budapest early next Summer and if not further afield too.

If you get the opportunity to travel to Budapest consider contacting Aurora as she’s put together a fabulous photographic tour of some incredible locations in her home city that I can’t wait to visit and shoot at with her.

My 5th shoot with Aurora (which should tell you that she's a great model to work with if nothing else!).

As with all of our previous shoots, Aurora was a joy to work with - well prepared, hard working, professional, full of ideas, chatty & generally great fun. Great taste in music too (90's music for those that are wondering).

She poses effortlessly, and knows what works & what doesn't - but is more than happy to try new ideas. She's willing to go the extra mile to get the right shot too - on this shoot, despite the cold weather, she braved a cold and wet derelict building (we did venture to a studio afterwards in order to warm her up again though).

Aurora is friendly, professional & easy to work with, the results from our shoots just keep getting better & better - I look forward to working with her again.

Highly recommended!

Great First Shoot with this delightful young lady.

Even the delays caused by Thameslink did not phase her, she is very professional, chatty, a delight to work with.

Poses effortlessly, knows what works for her, had plenty of change of clothes for our shoot.

Highly Recommended

I would have to count back 4 whole years to the previous time I had the good fortune to work with Aurora. That time it had been a studio day. This time around I booked her myself on a visit she had to the UK given her being largely based abroad now.

As I will always mention now, comms were impeccable, and we were able to arrange things quickly. So many models think it ok to respond every few weeks. If at all!

Aurora is a wonderful and talented model. Utterly professional and I would certainly recommend her to anyone who asked.

This was our 4th shoot btw. :)

Finally my first shoot with Aurora. I cannot believe it has taken me 4 years to get a shoot in after she was the one of the first models I looked to shoot with but at time I had only had one shoot and was looking to get some experience on more group shoots before a one to one. But since then Aurora has moved away. But when I notice Aurora at Neon Dreams on a studio day booked straight in. After booking messaging great so a good Idea what to shoot. Some fabulous colourful shots.

I hope to look at one her trip to Hungary later next year 100% recommend

I've had the pleasure of working with Aurora on numerous occasions, and I can't recommend her enough. She's not only reliable but brings a fun and positive energy to every project. Plus, she's got some serious skills as a makeup artist and stylist. It's like having a one-stop creative powerhouse. If you're looking for someone reliable, enjoyable to work with, and talented on multiple fronts, Aurora is your go-to.

Aurora had a studio day at Neon Dreams Studio in Hampshire which I attended. She is super easy to work with and very professional in her work ethic. We went through multiple outfit changes and two lighting setups & backgrounds all of which she took in her stride. We tried a couple of unusual poses and she adapted to these quickly and we nailed the shots.

Highly recommended.

A longish reference, but want to discuss her Budapest tours and her ability as a model.

I'm just back from Aurora's recently launched photographic tours of her hometown Budapest. Words rarely fail me, but I dont think I have had a more rewarding, inspiring week with my camera than with Aurora and her tour.

She plans each itinerary with meticulous detail matching the photographers selected venues with the best times and hoped for best lighting conditions to come away with amazing images. She worked incredibly hard both before and during the tour to ensure the photographer had the best possible experience. I think that she did it all with seemingly ease belies the hard work she puts in.

Aurora and her partner welcomed me into their home and I felt part of the family. It was more than a photography tour, it was an introduction into the culture, history and vibe of Budapest one of the most photogenic cities in the world. It made the whole experience, quite genuinely one of the best I have ever had. If you are considering one of her tours, I strongly recommend you speak to her and plan it. I am working on another tour as we speak.

And she is fun, oh my goodness this girl is fun, she has a wonderful personality to go with amazing looks and a sharp intellect. She found my Scottish accent hilarious especially when I tried to pronounced Hungarian words! Time flowed in her company, you will not be bored trust me. This girl's sense of humour is not to be missed.

As a model, she is simply first rate. Her intuition in knowing what will work and what wont is born out of many years experience, plus a natural talent for modelling work. We explored 3 or 4 different locations each day and I was stunned that she brought something different to each one. From classical elegant to edgy urban shoots, this girl brings an energy, vibrancy and an ability to story tell in so many locations and so many genre's that I have not encountered in any other model before. She is simply quite remarkable.

She also arranged a studio session with the stunning Jessica, a beautiful and talented local Budapest model. They complemented each other beautifully and I cannot explain how delighted I was with the images. . Her work ethic is enormous, as her desire to ensure the photographer to get the best possible image. The studios she can arrange are simply stunning styled, as well. Studio owners here please take note, there is more to life than a selection of backdrops. Thank you too to Jessica for her hard work.

If you are considering working with her, or going on one of her tours I would strongly recommend you do. She is one of the most talented and professional models here, her communication is first class and her make up, hair and outfits were exemplary.

Thank you Aurora, for the week, the laughs, the fun, the endless supply of good natured banter, and of course opening your and your partner's home and hearts to me. You have given me so many happy memories and I cant wait to return in 2024.

After our shoot in the Quarry in July, we decided to run a short, small-group workshop together at the location. Pre-shoot communications were great and she was a great partner in organising the workshop with me.

Despite the super hot weather (38+C), Aurora was great and tireless, she communicated well with other photographers, and she was always open to ideas. She posed easily and effortlessly on the difficult terrain.

It was a great event, and she was the perfect model for the theme. I hope we will have many similar events together in the future.
