Esmé is so easy to shoot! He has bags of style and creativity, and is a genuinely lovely person.

She always nails it with the posing and styling which makes my job so easy.

Great to work with her again.

100% recommend if you want a bit of style and class to your photos

Really lovely shoot with Esme. It was a chilly but dry afternoon on on location. She is so easy to communicate with, she has some great ideas and happy to push herself to get a great shot in terms of posing. We managed plenty of shots in a short space of time thanks to her ability to understand what we were trying to achieve.

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot and really look forward to working with her again in the future! :)

I had the great pleasure of shooting with Esme on Sunday in what turned out to be five hours of highly productive and creative fun! :) Esme is so very affable, has fantastic confidence coupled with great courage and determination to create the images that we had been discussing prior to the shoot as well as the ideas that we bounced around and explored during the shoot.

Esme is really easy to get along with, can switch from casual to striking a pose in a moments notice. I highly recommend any of you to take the opportunity to work with Esme, her look, style and modelling abilities will only enhance your photography and portfolio. I look forward to working with her again in the future :)

Fantastic photoshoot with Esme on Wednesday. Comms were great before hand and Esme was full of ideas on look and location.

The shoot was relaxed and a good fun. Esme is a natural in front of the camera and knows what works well.

I am very happy with the final shots from the day and can’t wait to share them.

Fully recommend.

I worked with Esme today creating some stock video clips, she was an absolute pleasure to work, fun, professional and excellent to talk to.

All pre comms were fantastic and she helped shape the shoot. During the shoot she took direction brilliantly and brought her own personality to play.

I have another shoot coming up with Esme in the near future and it's all down to her hard work and the idea that she had. Couldn't ask for more from a model.

I had the privilege of working with Esme for both a Studio and Location shoot this January. Esme communicated well prior too and after both shoots. Her timekeeping was faultless, arriving for both on time and ready to shoot from the get go. Esme is an extremely talented model, boasting excellent style with unmatched confidence. Alongside this, Esme conveys an excellent sense of humour and is very easy to talk to, enabling ideas to be communicated on the fly in a way that never felt awkward or imposing. Having worked with Esme, I would implore any photographer, stylist, or makeup artist that has the opportunity to work with her to never pass off the opportunity. She is honestly one of the best models I have worked with! :)

Our second shoot together and it went exactly as planned, pre coms were good, dates sorted, shoot booked, we drove to the first location, an abandoned airfield, got interrupted by a group of off-road bikers, the police, a drone, but got just what we knew we would.

Second shoot was as good as the first and i wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Fabulous model !

Esme and I shot in the New Forest for the afternoon and it was a delight. Such a talented model with a very unique look. I have never shot vintage before and Esme has her own style which is really very accomplished and interesting to shoot.

Very comfortable posing and has great poise and temperament, Esme is a class act both as a person and as a model. We actually booked this shoot a while ago but thanks to the great british weather we had to postpone it a couple of times. The day was well worth the wait however.

Highly recommended

Esme is fun, bubbly, lively, relaxed ad comfortable in front of the camera and very professional, from the first communication, which was the most welcoming "would you like to" request i have ever received, I knew i was going to have a shoot worth waiting for.

She arrived ready to shoot, first look was in keeping with her style, but as our discussions and from comments made when we discussed the shoot we ended up doing something out of the ordinary for her, did it work, the results will speak for themselves.

Fear of heights, creepy crawly's, dirt....Not this girl, "up there?" "of course"...

Would i recommend? We have already started discussing a second shoot so i think thats a yes.

Had a great shoot today. We worked on various ideas away from Esme's usual vintage look and came up with some cracking photos!

Esme is a lovely model, very professional and I think we worked well together.

Turned up prepared and ready to go.

Its good that we are so close as I would certainly work with Esme again and highly recommend her to others!

Esme is an absolute dream to work with! Not only is she incredibly beautiful, she is also fantastically professional.

She came to the shoot fully prepared having chatted to us on the phone a few days before the shoot. She brought a variety of awesome outfits with her and came fully made up as discussed during her consultation.

She was fun, friendly, came up with some amazing ideas of her own and most importantly the images that we created together were perfect - better even than we had hoped they would be! Can't wait for the opportunity to work with Sophie again!

This was my first ever model shot, Esme Shard turned up on time and from the very moment of saying hello she was great to get on with. And made me feel at ease, she just seemed to know where to look, and how to help me understand how lighting created a different look.

Would highly recommend

This is the third time that I have had the pleasure to work with Esme, as always she arrived at the planned location and time with plenty of clothing options.

I look forward to working again with Esme, and I highly recommend shooting with her.

I got to work with the lovely Esme again this past weekend after she replied to my very late notice casting call.

As with the previous shoot with Esme, she came fully prepared with a few changes of clothing to suit the planned theme. And although the weather was not ideal to be shooting outdoors, she didn't mind getting a little wet from the rain to allow myself and the another photographer to capture the shots we were after.

I highly recommend shooting with Esme if you get a chance, and I look forward to shooting again with her.

After admiring Esme's portfolio for some time, our dates aligned for an easy-going portrait session. Communication was a breeze with quick and friendly messages. Esme is a versatile model with an excellent eye for what works. Although I was drawn to her retro / vintage style, I soon found out that she is able to interpret the brief flowing from beauty portraits to fine art poses smoothly. I enjoy working with models to craft the picture to perfection and Esme's professionality and positivity meant that the session flew by. She even helped adjust the backdrop when I was too short! Thanks for your hard work Esme and I am secretly hoping we can meet again to explore the rest of your wonderful wardrobe, Mandy

For the last three years I've posted a casting for a model to accompany me to the Goodwood Revival in order to photograph her by the race cars, drivers & general spectacle. Each year this generates a larger response, but I've had to make my selection very carefully as some of the applicants have been somewhat over-optimistic as to how they're going to reach the venue by 7.30am on a Sunday morning! This year I selected Esme, primarily because of her fashion sense, overall appearance and reasonable proximity to the event. I met her about a month beforehand to discuss my plan for the shoot. She put a lot of effort into her hair, dresses and matching co-ordinates on the day and I was not to be disappointed. She looked absolutely lovely and brought three different outfits along in different colours & styles, including a period bikini which impressed me no end as she'd taken note of the fact that the event was this year celebrating (among other things), the advent of the bikini! She modelled consistently throughout what proved to be a busy day, was good company and a good conversationalist, and probably the aspect which most impressed me was her ability to pose in the most appealing, natural, relaxed, and ladylike manner. If only all models could pose like that! She didn't show the slightest bit of self-consciousness when photographed with a mixture of people & personalities including workmen, Army personnel, marshalls, & racing drivers including Derek Bell, (5 times Le Mans winner, twice World Sportscar Champion, & three times winner of the Daytona 24 race, - even I was in awe of the great man)! Thank you Esme for a wonderful day's photography - I hope you find the images I took of use to you, I personally was pleased I chose you and as far as I'm concerned I couldn't have made a better choice.

I had the pleasure of working with Esme today for a photo shoot. She absolutely fantastic to model with her and looked stunning in various outfits she wore. Very easy to get along with, thus made the setups with her more comfortable to do.

I'd definitely would like to work with her again and I give my highest recommendation.

Miss Nancy
