At very short notice, and for a far too short time I had a delightful shoot with Alicia and Ashley Ashton.

Lots of laughs from start to finish, great chemistry between Alicia and Ashley and a big bag full of glorious images.

Such a shame that our time was cut short (I got stuck in traffic!) but the quality was spot on for every single set and image.

A great model. Highly recommended. Thanks Alicia :-).

I was privileged to do a shoot with Alicia and Ashley Aston. They are both beautiful models with stunning faces and lovely lithe bodies. But the fact they look good is a small part of what made this such a great shoot. One image I look at now and it seems full of romantic passion, as if they really were wrapped in each other, but I know for a fact they were mid chat about a shoot in Cannock Chase. They are such great actors for a shoot to create the right image.

Alica has a look that can vary from alternative to classic, flawless skin and a talent for slipping from pose to pose.

A 100% recommendation from me.

Fabulous, I was lucky enough for Alicia to come over to my home in Gloucester for some shoots with Ashley. It was an absolute delight to meet her, she is lovely and was very polite and friendly with a charming personality. She looks absolutely stunning and is clearly a very natural and dedicated model. As well as the positive feedback I was hearing from the photographers, I was fortunate to work with Alicia and Ashley on shooting some content. My goodness, I was blown away with how fantastic they were to shoot with! Incredible at shooting duo, and full of ideas about what to shoot and how best to shoot it. Alicia is a fantastic photographer and her skill and knowledge really helps makes the images special.

A fantastic model to work with, I was so impressed! I really hope to get to work with her some more sometime, very gorgeous and talented and highly recommended!

Another duo shoot with Alicia, again remarkable results.

It takes a while for a collaboration between models , were all very independent of one another and each have our own quality to deliver in our shoots. Alicia , is by far the most professional model i have worked with yet . Its not about the money with this model, but about the beauty . She's an already well established model , but she's also an artist and she takes her time, she doesn't like to be rushed. I can only admire that.

Undeniably, the modelling career can often dim a models true talent and personality, bringing about an ego that sometimes ends up contributing to the models downfall , its easy to get wrapped up in the attention. Alicia isn't like this, she has firm morals and respect and as long as you treat her equally with the same respect , you'll get remarkable results. On this occasion , be prepared to trust the model, she knows exactly what she's doing .

I feel honored and grateful to be working alongside someone who is so dynamic and but yet so , cool... at the same time ..

We know each other very well, and so we're always able to experiment with different ideas, locations and lenses...

Such a creative lady. Highly recommended, yet again.

Really great shoot with Alicia, good comms before the shoot too.

Alicia is a total natural, incredibly photogenic and it's virtually impossible to take a bad photo of her. She can pose herself, or take direction with ease.

Highly recommended, don't pass up a chance to shoot her if she comes your way.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! .... why?

Because she is "Unique"

"Unique" for lots of different reasons.

To start with ... she is "Attractive" ... "Classy" ... "Elegant" ... "Sensual" and she does exude "Confidence" ... and I do like all of that.

In addition, she really does work hard ... she really does make an effort. She is offering "Us" ... the "Photographers" her Home Studio which is just from another planet. The most Beautiful "Listed Building" I have ever shoot.

Communication was brilliant. She is so professional and because apart of being a model she is also a photographer, she is always willing to assist, help and teach.

At a personal level ... Alicia is one of the "Warmest Person" I have ever met. She has a "Heart of Gold"

She Loves animals ... she cares about animals. She rescues animals and she told me the most "Heart Warming" story about her dog.

Alicia is just like a "Pandora Box" ... I just could not belief that we could talk about so many different things ... and actually she could teach me about every single subject that we spoke.

And I do suspect ... that she also cares about other things going at the moment in the World ... like the Palestinian cause, Global warming, Fisheries, Covid-19 related issues ...

This was our "Second Shoot" ... and I am already looking forward to our "Third" ... for more conversation ... and for more "Fascination"

Well ... this is a very Honest Reference ... straight from my Heart, and looking forward to create more images in between our chats :)

Thank you Alicia, you are truly Beautiful and a Top Model.

Had another fabulous shoot with the ever-wonderful Alicia today. We had lovely weather (at last!) but fearing the ground outside would still be too damp after weeks of rain we decided to stay indoors and enjoy the bright natural light inside her beautiful cream-decored Georgian flat, helped along with just a little flash for the perfect finish.

Alicia was fantastic, as always, at setting up the lighting, explaining what she was doing and why so that I continue to learn on each of our many shoots together. Today we spent the whole shoot in just her front room. It's amazing the number of things that are possible in one simple but elegant rectangular room with just a few attractive pieces of furniture, a large mirror, two floor lamps, a pot plant, a couple of suitcases full of outfits and two creative minds on the same wavelength :-)

As well as her superb photographic skills and modelling talent, her endless inspiration and her beautiful good looks, Alicia is also an adorable soul who it is always a pleasure and a privilege to work with, and I hope we have many more shoots to come. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Thank you for all your efforts again, Alicia. I look forward to our next adventure :-)

This is a very different type of "Reference"

Normally and as courtesy, we do leave a Reference after a shoot. It is just "good manners"

But this Reference is different ... because it is not just another Reference. It is a Reference with feelings.

This shoot had "stages" ... and a very emotional and respectful stage at the end.

Alicia has been at the top of my "Wish List" to shoot for a long time and thanks to a friend the shoot was booked.

For me, it was well over 6 hours return drive and it was 110% worth it.

This was a mixture of Girl-Girl shoot and individual shoots.

Alicia has the most classy, beautiful and with plenty of natural light Home Studio in Bath. Her Home is so clean and welcoming, with high ceilings and beautiful furniture.

Alicia is a very Attractive Woman ... but she is much more than that. She is a very experience Model, a very accomplished Photographer and even a nicer person. She is very Creative and Intelligent.

The shoot was producing beautiful, sensual images ... but a "Phone call" did interrupt the shoot.

It was a call that took priority ... and it was a moment of "Respect" ... "Understanding" ... "Support" and "Affection"

In Life ... Family comes first ... and we terminated the shoot early to address what it is really important in Life ... "Family and Friends"

Personally, I do want to shoot again with Alicia and Ashley ... and from me ... both of them are 1.000.000% Recommended.

Looking forward to meet again.

I had a shoot with Alicia and Ashley Ashton at Alicia's home studio in Bath. Alicia was very professional and I obtained good images. I would recommend Alicia.

AshleyAshton

I really adore Alicia , she really is a superb individual with a heart of gold . There is something extremely genuine and original about her and I guess sometimes her honesty can come across as intimidating, but she always has the best suggestions at heart.

Alicia has flawless pale skin, and a unique and powerful look, she poses very elegantly and is a pro at light cooperation. She aims high and gives 110%. Sometimes Alicia may be delayed, but it's worth the wait . For me , having alicia as a duo model compliments my existing skills and abilities, and she reciprocates my movements well . We're very similar in figure and height which looks great in the pictures and shes definitely the brain when it comes to photography.

The more time I spend with alicia, the more inspired I am .. she can be quiet at times , but my god shes an intelligent girl, she makes her own lingerie and has accomplished her self in photography and photoshop .. I mean is there anything she cant do !

I reccomend you book alisha for a shoot and be patient as she is a very busy girl, at home and at work , but she is totally worth the wait .

I was honoured to have another shoot with Alicia today (I think we're in double figures now?!), which served as a most excellent follow-up to our last shoot just over a week ago, providing an opportunity to try to improve on some shots from last time that were only about 95% perfect ;-)

We made the most of the sunshine today too, this time venturing out not only to the courtyard just outside, but also taking some shots in the street out the back, and many more in a small park a few minutes' walk away. Alicia must be solar-powered because she was buzzing with even more energy than normal today and I believe we really have improved on the already high standard from last time, partly through the use of a flash this time too. I think the difference compared to the reflector-based shots we took last time is quite telling, which is all part of my never-ending learning experience in shooting with the ever kind and helpful Alicia.

We headed back indoors when the chilly wind and setting sun conspired against us. We made good use of Alicia's beautiful Georgian flat and a rather photogenic chaise longue in the bedroom, before trying out something new with funky coloured lights in the living room. All in all another marvellously varied shoot, with a range of styles and lighting setups all effortlessly taken in by Alicia with her matchless skills at modelling and photography.

In every shoot I do with this beautiful and generous lady I get to try something new, I learn a ton of new things, I have a lovely time and I come away with a cartload of stunning images, so I really can't recommend her too highly.

Thank you again, Alicia, and I look forward to next time as always :-)

Thank you so much Alicia, for amazing shoot, the location was stunning and your input on style and poses was invaluable.

Once lockdown is over and travel is possible you need to come up to Scotland to shoot in some of the stunning locations we have here.

I can highly recommend Alicia to shoot with and can't wait to shoot again with her.

Steve Pearl

Had a fabulous 1:1 shoot with my favourite muse today. It was brilliant as always, and wonderful to see Alicia in person again after what we can only hope was the Final Lockdown (fingers crossed!) and a joy to behold first-hand her beautiful new Georgian flat, which I've only experienced remotely until now.

It's a privilege and a pleasure to work again with such a fine model and photographer, and after half a dozen or more shoots (not even counting the remote ones!) we're really growing as a team now.

Today we explored new sets and angles to what we've already covered remotely, making good use of the fireplace in the bedroom, then venturing outside into a lovely private courtyard for some gorgeous outdoor shots without the hassle of the general public around us to contend with, before heading back inside nearing sundown to do some studio-look shots with a stunning mottled brown velvet backdrop.

We've all gone stir-crazy locked up like animals in a zoo for far too long and we were both excited to get outside :-) For me it was a relatively new experience since almost all of my 1:1 shooting so far has been done indoors in the autumn and winter of the last two years, so I learned even more today than I usually do in Alicia's company. She has as much experience and knowledge as many a photographer on this site and is always happy to share her wisdom with anyone that is interested to learn :-)

Moving back indoors for the studio-style shots was also fairly new to me since I've only previously experienced a couple of studio workshops but not yet done a studio shoot. Again, Alicia was overflowing with energy and never tired of explaining how to set things up and helping me make whatever adjustments were necessary to get better and better shots.

Thus, we had a wonderfully varied shoot, showing off Alicia's great versatility as a model and also featuring some simply stunning outfits which I was so lucky and grateful to be able to shoot her in today.

We still have so many more ideas to explore and already have the next shoot planned out and booked! :-) There's no better recommendation than someone that keeps on coming back so take it from me that you should book this lovely lady now!

Thank you again, Alicia :-) Until next time...!

REMOTE SHOOT REFERENCE

I had a remote session with Alicia last sunday - this is my third remote shoot and I can highly recommend them as a means to be creative in these crazy times.

Alicia's comms were very direct, as was her flexibility to move this delayed shoot to other dates. She's got an excellent and big house where you can shoot in different stylisch rooms.

Ollie G

Thank you so much Alicia, for another amazing shoot, always so lovely to work with you!! :)

I've worked with Alicia, so many times now, as I highly value her as a person, I've always got on so well with her, and the fact that she is a photographer too, means we always have lots of ideas to try.

On this recent shoot we did natural light portraits indoors, and made good use of her beautiful new apartment, in Bath. Her new place has so much character, and lovely big windows, perfect for natural light.

I obviously highly recommend Alicia, and I'm very grateful that she is nearby to me, which means lots of awesome shoots.

Thanks once again, and see you soon Alicia!! :)

One of the joys of remote shooting is the chance to take photographs of a model you wouldn't normally have the chance to book. Alicia has been on my want to photograph list for a while and it was great to get the chance to take some great images of her via the remote shoot. Good coms before the shoot, I found Alicia easy to work with, full of good ideas and responsive to suggestions. She's an enthusiastic photographer herself and has a good idea of what poses suit the light and the camera angle. It was also a chance to use her Nikon Z7, which coupled with the prime lenses, took some great images. Highly recommended, I will certainly be booking her again.

I had a remote shoot with Alicia yesterday which was a great success.

As well as being an accomplished model, Alicia is an experienced photographer, and her expertise and attention to detail were clear during the shoot around composition, angles and quality of light. I greatly valued her input. Alicia was well prepared and put huge energy into everything. The shoot was light hearted and fun as well!

I greatly enjoyed working with Alicia and we captured some lovely shots. I recommend Alicia 100% and hope to work together again f2f once conditions permit. Thank you :)

Finally managed to organize a remote shoot with Alicia.

The pre-shoot comms were perfect and we both had a good idea of what we wanted to get from the shoot.

Alicia was very well organized and very professional throughout the shoot with so much enthusiasm. The time we had was nice and relaxed without any pressure. Alicia was so friendly, helpful and easy to talk to which made the shoot go so quickly.

We managed to capture some great images and I am really looking forward to uploading some of the results.

Alicia was an absolute pleasure to work with and it really shows that she enjoys her work.

I highly recommend Alicia and I really hope that this will be the first of many shoots together, definitely hope to arrange a face to face shoot as soon as the current restrictions allow.

Thank you Alicia
