What an absolute delight!

I’ve always admired Rin’s work since I began modelling, so to be asked to be photographed by this multitalented magical lady was a real honour. Her work is magnificently dreamy and after shooting together once in summer, she asked me if I’d like to duo with Ellx - which, I of course said yes to! What a dream team, we had an abundance of fun, and managed to execute some incredible concepts too, Rin is an incredible person, stylist, set builder and also effortlessly empowers her models on set. Her attention to detail is impeccable and creates for a really relaxing, yet productive shooting atmosphere!

The fact she’s a model too makes everything so much easier, my words don’t do her talents justice.

Highly recommended!!

Lena arranged a duo shoot with Kelsey and I, and I'm so thankful she did. She sensed that we were similar people and would work well together, and the images we created absolutely confirmed her gut feeling. What a true visionary!

Lena is so fun to work with, and I find it super interesting watching her work. She explains what she does as she's going along, which light she's adjusting, what imagery she's aiming for. It's great, I learn alot in the process. She's a fantastic photographer.

I thoroughly recommend booking a shoot with Lena!!

Thanks for setting up such a wonderful shoot!

Loved loved loved my shoot with Lena! Couldn't have been any better at helping me with posing and styling. Will definitely be working with her again. Can't wait to see the final images! :)

I absolutely adore working with Lena. The difference of working with a model-come-photographer is HUGE, and it certainly helps that she's a bad-ass photographer on top of it. It was really fun to do something more conceptual and grungy after our first shoot together a few months ago, and the pictures I've seen so far are phenomenal, I can't wait to see them post-editing. Everything was effortless and time went by so quickly. She's a real talent.

Such joy to work with and cannot recommend her enough.

I've always been a little in awe of Lena's work, so it was genuinely affirming when she asked me to model for her! She is as fun as she is formidable, and our shoot at Fareham Studio was a true highlight. She had a clear idea of what she wanted to create, and had shared her concept with me beforehand so I knew what we were aiming for. She handles light like an absolute wizard and knows exactly how to realise her vision – I couldn't be happier with the photographs we produced, and I couldn't be more excited to shoot with her again!

Lena is an extremely talented and creative photographer and I am so happy to that I got to shoot with her even if it was only for a few clicks just before our group shoot at Fareham Studio where Lena was the creative mind behind all the lighting and the sets :)

Very professional , easy to work with , creative and so down to earth and full of positive glowing aura around her !

I really hope to work together again in the future , the photo's from our mini shoot are WOW !!!!

Very highly recommended :)

I had such a wonderful shoot with Lena today! She had created a new Moroccan-themed set for the studio, and it was utterly stunning. I feel very lucky that I got to be the first person to shoot in it.

Lena is creative, professional, a pleasure to be around, and gave me so much helpful feedback and guidance. I not only had a wonderful time, not only got some AMAZING shots, but also came away feeling I'd learned something.

I 100% recommend booking with Lena!

Working with Lena was incredible - you can really feel the difference when working with a photographer who also models. She's so comfortable to be around, respectful and a true professional.Her studio is the best one i've been in: well equipped, great attention to detail and easy to work in.

Can't wait to work with her again soon!

Lena is an incredible soul - artistic, spectacular, brilliant company & conversation, patient, and incredibly respectful, she's a creative whirlwind, a force to be reckoned with.

I had a weekend booked at Fareham Studio, a couple of studio days, and at the end, we had a play about with an Ondine style idea Lena had come up with - mind blowingly feckin' awesome. The images are AMAZING. Am over the moon.

Would highly recommend this woman to all models and creatives, she's a powerhouse, and one of the loveliest people I've had the honour of shooting with.

Thanks again lovely!

I had a wonderful REMOTE shoot with Lena, after we both had a go at trying each other's set-up to gain more experience and insight into this method of working together from afar.

I absolutely loved the ideas and energy she brought to her session with me. She sent a cool inspiration image to start from, and showed great initiative deciding which backdrops and lighting effects she wanted to experiment with in the space.

Not only was she friendly and easy to work with, she offered clear and encouraging direction via the video call and screenshare, leading to a very successful collaboration with GORGEOUS results!! Plus, edits were delivered extremely promptly! Hugely recommended.

Second time working with Siren, and I hope it's not the last! Not only is she a fantastic person in general to work with, she really knows her stuff. Her lighting is always spot on, creative ideas flow and her knowledge of posing is really handy too :)

Can't wait to work with you again! Highly recommended to all models of any calibre :)

Thanks for having me Siren!

I had booked Sinopa to coach modelling poses and tips to my wife and daughter for a family shoot at the fantastic Fareham Studio, as well as help with the lighting.

All was done effortlessly in her usual friendly, professional and beautiful way. Sinopa quickly put them at their ease, my girls gained confidence quickly and Rin’s coaching worked as they were very happy with the images taken.

I was so unbelievably lucky to get the opportunity to work with this fantastic lady at Fareham studios! Siren knows exactly what she is doing and is one of the most skilled people I have worked with- every single image was perfect. We tried a range of styles- some I would only trust with the right person and Siren was 100% that person. I'm really pleased with the pictures I have seen, we spent a lot of time talking too!

Social distance was always maintained, and Siren is super respectful as well as a good friend. I wasn't on top form due to being out of the game for a while, but she put me at ease and we have some cracking images.

A million times recommended and if you get the chance to work with her, I would jump at it!

Thanks for having me SA!

Went to a lighting workshop run by Rin and came away with loads of new knowledge, ideas and images. Certainly time well spent, totally recommended

Been wanting to to have a go of gel lighting for such a long time now but never new where to start so when I found out Siren Arts was holding a gel lighting workshop at the fabulous Fareham Studio. and when I was lucky enough to get a place I was one happy man.

Saren Arts explains everything so well. I really took a lot in plus we had loads of shooting time with the model for the day. Incredible value for money and such an enjoyable day.

Highly recommended

As a relatively new model I chose to contact Rin about mentoring given ber amazing portfolio as well as feeling sure she had a warm attitude through seeing her interactions in the forums.

From the start all communications and the subsequent shoot have been incredibly informative and enjoyable and I am so pleased that I did choose to reach out to her.

Her experience, knowledge and understanding of what works from both sides of the camera are immense and absolutely invaluable. She is friendly but professional in her direction, creative, open to ideas, and an absolute pleasure to model for.

I would most definitely recommend shooting with Rin as you will undoubtedly have an amazing experience with the chance to learn a lot from a highly skilled photographer and model, as well as having fun!

I have had the most amazing shoot with siren Arts! Great communication from the start outlining exactly what she wanted to get from the shoot including anything I would like to get from our time together. This shoot felt extra special as Siren Arts brought along the most beautiful corsets especially arranged around my measurements, I’m not used to wearing waist corsets like these so was great to try something so beautiful and different. Siren Arts is incredibly creative, imaginative, focused and supportive. I thoroughly enjoyed our session together with this incredible professional photographer and Would love to work with Siren Arts again 💯 Recommend ! 🌹

Just on the train home from a fantastic shoot with Siren Arts and Roswell Ivory! We had a very relaxed and fun shoot, with some fab backdrops (inland cliffs??! Who knew there was such a thing!)

Siren Arts was a fab host, and was a creative photographer, with a real eye for the light and getting great compositions and angles! I think we got some great shots!

Thanks!
