I'm so excited to have had the chance to work with the fabulous Aurora Ray and wow! It was such a great shoot! Aurora came prepared with lots of cool outfits and found the perfect location for us to use them. She even organised the weather for us and it was perfect!

Aurora is a fabulous model. She has a great look and oozes class and style. She's super professional and knows what it takes to make great shot after great shot. She's awesome to work with. Full of smart ideas and smart chat.

I'm thrilled with how the shoot went and with the results we produced. I really hope we get another chance to shoot again soon. Aurora Ray is awesome and I couldn't recommend her highly enough! Thanks Aurora :-)

Aurora nudged me on a well known social media site saying that perhaps one of my non-model photos could perhaps have done with model in it! ;) ... and so the comms were initiated.

In all honesty I'm so glad that the Aurora nudged me - I was lucky enough to have spent a few hours wandering up and down Felixstowe promenade one evening - a gloriously sunny evening, with gorgeous good company with a very high level of banter :)

What a fantastic model this lovely lady is - so easy to work with and with some awesome posey-ness.

Would I recommend her? abs-flipping-lutely!!!

Looking forward to the next one Aurora and thank you :)

I knew there was something I meant to do!! Apologies for the late reference. A few weeks I managed to tempt Aurora out of her stamping ground and into Berkshire's leafy glades for our second shoot. Last time I'd nearly died with the humidity. This time it was just plain bloody hot.

But yet again Aurora pulled out all the stops to ensure we had a well spiffy shoot! Since our last shoot Aurora has become 'selectively adventurous' with her levels, and we shot a couple of nude sets as well as a fabulous shiny corset that must have been an absolute nightmare to wear on such a hot day. As before, Aurora is keen, experienced, a lot of fun, in general, someone great to work with. Her experience as a photographer undoubtedly assists her modelling, she looks great and is a generally all round good egg.

One of PPs under-noticed talents. Highly recommended. And a shout out to Mark for being kind enough to drive his good lady all this way, then just vanish into the background while we got on with the shoot. Thanks both for a splendid day.

Fabulous day with Aurora Ray at recent workshop. A complete pro and gave excellent feedback throughout so I expect and excellent set of images! She brought a wide range of fabulous outfits enabling a number of different looks throughout the day. 100% recommended!

I met Aurora when I attended my first workshop organised by GlossyPinkLipstsick (GPL). Being very new to photography in general, especially working with models, I was very impressed by Aurora's encouraging attitude and helpfulness as she sensed I was slightly nervous. Her professionalism shone through with the ease with which she posed and her chatty nature made the experience very enjoyable and I achieved some great images.

She was very complementary of my images and being a photographer herself, was able to help me a great deal by suggesting things I should consider.

Aurora is highly recommended by me and very much hope to be able to shoot with her again in the future.

Aurora was one of the models during a workshop arranged by GlossyPinkLipstick GPL. She kindly agreed to the workshop with 24hrs notice and proved to be a really excellent model and adapted to the workshop immediately. Being a photographer herself, I felt helped enormously with her posing and understanding of what was trying to be achieved and was really helpful advising as to what was needed to improve or shots we could try. Aurora is a delightful, lovely chatty person who has a great sense of humour and is very encouraging in her appreciation of shots taken and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Aurora to photographers of all levels and I hope I have the opportunity to work with her again before too long. Thank you Aurora for making the day so enjoyable and helping me achieve some very rewarding images. Adrian

Today I had the real pleasure of shooting with Aurora as part of a studio day, arranged by GlossyPinkLipstick G.P.L. Aurora was professional and fun to work with and had a number of great outfits that we shot together. As a photographer herself Aurora knows how to assist and encourage great photographs from a photographer, posing effortlessly and beautifully. Thank you Aurora, for making the shoot so enjoyable and comfortable. I would highly recommend any photographer to work with this beautiful lady.

My first shoot with Aurora and I'm wondering why I hadn't shot with Aurora before.A two hour shoot went to quick and hopefully we will shoot again.

I had some ideas in mind and with Auroras look and the vintage lingerie that she bought along, gave me more than I'd hoped for.

A very,very good model and a lovely person to work with

I can't recommend Aurora highly enough

My first time working with the talented Aurora but hopefully not the last, it was at a Club night hosted by and held at Aura Studios. Aurora was a joy to work with flowing from pose to pose all evening ensuring that all the photographers got the images they were looking for. Happy to follow direction where offered but equally able to work undirected, a true professional and would be an asset to any project.

After talking about doing a shoot for what seems like an eternity, we FINALLY managed to work together at Aura Studio in Newmarket.

At the risk of making her head swell, it was totally worth the wait. Aurora posed effortlessly and was an absolute joy to shoot.

She has a wicked sense of humour and the entire experience was an utter joy.

I cannot recommend Aurora highly enough and can't wait to work with her again.

Thank you so much for a truly lovely evening :)

Aurora was one of 3 models and 18 photographers for an Aura Studio Club Night shoot, giving just 6 minutes for each photographer with each model on 3 different sets, including any lighting changes. This however did not prevent Aurora from delivering some great poses in her boudoir outfit on the upstairs 4 poster bed.

Aurora posed effortlessly and took direction easily, making those 6 minutes fly by! She has lovely friendly demeana, and striking facial features, creating excellent shots.

I can recommend Aurora 100% to all levels of photographers, and thanks for a great 6 minutes! : )

Super happy to recommend Aurora as a model, I booked her for one of my Club nights at AURA. Communications were excellent, she turned up shoot ready with a suitcase full of outfits and an excellent attitude. She worked hard all evening to get fantastic shots and kept all the photographers extremely happy. Just what you need for an event, punctual, easy going and a fab model.

Thank you Aurora ;)

I shot with Aurora at a club night event at Aura studio in Newmarket.

It was a busy evening and more or less non-stop for three hours. Thankfully Aurora was more than up to the task - energetic throughout, open to ideas and full of enthusiasm for the duration of the event.

With me being a relative newbie to shooting in a studio, Aurora was encouraging and happy to offer ideas and her own expert posing advice. She was a tonne of fun to work with and a complete pro.

Totally recommended.

Absolute pleasure to shoot with Aurora Ray. Comms beforehand were good, she showed up bang on time, brought two lovely outfits to wear and was great company to spend a couple of hours with. The time went by really quickly. An experienced model, Aurora Ray was patient with me and comfortable throwing in ideas but equally willing to work with my plans. Hope to work with her again soon. Highly recommended.

We would absolutely recommend Aurora Ray, she totally smashed it!

All the pre shoot comms were excellent, which is super helpful especially when dealing with a model I'd not met before, involving a group shoot, as this can be a huge worry for a studio owner. But I was confident in Aurora before I met her, but blown away when I did. Lovely, lovely lady!

She looked stunning, I didn't even need to do any make up, as she arrived impeccably made up, which was a huge help as the weather on the day was a "Disaster Darhling" meaning lots of last minute changes to our plan, so as to keep everyone happy!

Awesome work with the birds, some which were very large, so a lot of time was spent holding thing at arms length for different photographers, which must be very tiring, but she managed this effortlessly.

Will we have her back here? Would we recommend here?

Of course! In fact we're already in discussions and feel highly honoured that she came to work with us

This was our first time working together, at a birds of prey event hosted by Wolfe Cottage Studio. Aurora was a natural handling the large birds while standing in a pair of insanely high heels. Rocking a powerful elegance she has great posing technique which helped hugely during our short time shooting together.

I would definitely recommend Aurora Ray.

I was one of the flock of photographers who attended the Wolfe Cottage 'Birds of Prey' shoot. Weather was too bad for the planned outside flying set so we all ended up in the studio. Despite the challenge (working with some very large birds, under flash) Aurora was magnificent; calm, unruffled and beautiful. An absolute pleasure to photograph.

After a year of chatting to Aurora I finally had the pleasure of working with her. She is an absolute professional when it comes to attitude, punctuality and knowledge both in front of and behind the camera. All these facets together made a seamless and really relaxed shoot. She has fantastic ideas and is happy to share her ideas which encourages various quirky shots :) She has an amazing sense of humour and is easy going making life easy. If you haven't worked with this lady, why the hell not??

She is fantastic and it's a resounding YES from me ;)

Really looking forward to working with her in the future.

Had my first shoot with Aurora Ray. Pre-shoot communications were highly constructive, enabling us to get going and make best use of available, natural light.

Punctual, professional and prepared, she arrived on time, with some quirky props and excellent local knowledge.

She poses effortlessly, communicates well and is extremely easy to work with. In summary, I would be delighted to work with her again, and have no hesitation in recommending her to other creatives.

Well, that was fun :-)

Aurora and I have chatted about a shoot (plus life, the universe and everything) for a good while now. Yesterday we managed to get our calendars together and shoot together. Comms were great (as usual) and when I arrived Aurora was made up ready to go, and had laid out far too wide a selection of clothes from which I struggled to choose.

Working together with Aurora is great fun, it's obvious she looks great, is very welcoming and easy to get on with, has a wicked sense of humour.

We managed to choose one of the warmest, stickiest days of the month, but that didn't put her off (nor did the sight of me looking like I'd had a shower!)

Aurora is a photographer in her other life and that helps a load, she knows exactly where to look for the light and how to best position herself, little or no direction was needed. She poses well, doesn't mind climbing about to get a great pose and is generally is an excellent shoot partner.

Once I'd stopped my camera misbehaving I think we produced some cracking images and I'm looking forward to working them (together, Aurora'a keen to edit a few shots too. Fine by me)

Thanks for a super day Aurora. Highly Recommended
