I had another shoot with Siren Arts during a recent tour and can't wait to do it again! She is so creative, whether spritzing water at a bath full of pot plants or shooting me with lovely co-model Penny Dreadful in front of some truly spectacular inland cliffs.

She's a wonderful host, made sure I was comfy and well-fed/watered, and I'd work with her again in two seconds flat. And her dog is awesome. :D

I had the pleasure of getting to shoot with the amazing siren arts again at the recent spring model led studland Weekender. As ever working with Siren was totally awesome, she works with so much efficiency, has great ideas and a total blast of fun to work with. The results are totally fantastic. Recommended!

I had a great first shoot with Siren last week. She came and shot me at my home followed by a couples shoot with my partner Cocaine James at an outdoor location. She was very easy to work with, giving great direction as well as letting me get into a flow.

Siren is a very creative photographer and she produced shot after shot of excellent photos! I can't wait to see the results.

I would definitely work with Siren again and happily recommend her to anyone looking to add something creative and beautiful to their portfolios!

I had another opportunity to grab some fantastic images with Siren at a recent studland event. She is so easy to work with, has great ideas and knows how to achieve them. We played around in a number of locations with various clothing and art nude images. I cannot wait to see the image when they are ready. Highly recommend working with her! Xx

I had the pleasure of getting to pose for this lovely lady for a few hours, and felt entirely comfortable, appreciated and able to be open and show myself for her camera.

The images we shot included some emotive portraits, natural light dreaminess and fashion images in a sultry, more colourful set. The shoot with fairly impromptu yet she found unique backgrounds to pin up, and created a whole festival inspired set which looked stunning!

Her compliments and feedback gave me added confidence and I found her very fun and easy to work with. The images I've seen so far are absolutely gorgeous and I'd be very happy to work with her again anytime :-)

Siren and I have been discussing the difference between the feminine eye and the masculine. She kindly offered to do a masterclass to show me how she goes about her model photography, which we did today.

I both learned a lot and had great fun too - our different approaches to the craft overlapped, but diverged sufficiently for me to see a whole different side. Apart from being a very fine photographer, Siren is a *really* good instructor too. Like all the best instructors she ensured that I understood each concept and could capture a similar look before moving on.

Siren is also a highly accomplished model, so was also giving our model some gems of tips on posing and me some gold advice on how to get the best out of a model, starting by how to first put them at there ease and building rapport from there. She knows it works, because she's been there.

Bottom line - my photography has definitely been enhanced by this masterclass and I encourage any photographer to work with Siren and see the world through her eyes for a time.

I can't imagine a more rewarding photographer to work with than Siren. Loved her artistry, her choice of location, her manner during the shoot - always thoughtful, fluid and open to ideas, yet unflustered and in control. Lovely personality and very easy to get along with. I've only seen image previews as yet but it's enough to know some stunning results are on the way. 100% recommended.

Natural Happy Woman

Siren shot some largely anonymous creative duo images of myself and LifeModel in the New Forest. When I found out she was the chosen photographer for this shoot I was totally delighted and filled with confidence that the shoot would be a success.

I don't think she knows how good she is! She apologised for "faffing" but is easily one of the most efficient photographers I've ever worked with. She also apologised for the midges (obviously not under her control!!) in the excellent location she'd scouted! So creative and able. She has a wealth of experience in the industry and really knows how to get the best out of her models and would be a great person to hire if you have no experience and want to improve your modelling as well as get a great portfolio.

Utterly brilliant and has already sent some superb images- really one of my favourite photographers EVER.

Tink Kaos

This lady is utterly excellent!

We managed to shoot impromptu for a few spare minutes at Studland, a couple of years ago, and the images blew me away! This time, a couple of hours, the studio, and a rather brilliant idea. The images look exquisite on the back of the camera, and had so much fun shooting with SA, couldn't recommend this lady enough.

A very chatty, lovely, friendly soul. And highly professional ♥

Until next time!

Wow! Just had my first shoot with Siren Arts and absolutely loved it!

Her pre comms were excellent and she arranged for us to shoot at a friend's house which provided endless shooting opportunities. SA is a delight to work with - friendly, chatty, and a relaxed shooting style. She worked hard to get the shots just right and we had a laugh along the way. It was great to have her input on styling and posing, and the images looked amazing from the back of camera - I can't wait to see the finished results!

Highly recommended and I really hope we get to work together again soon :)

I had my first shoot with Siren arts last week whilst on my south coast tour. This has been a long time in the making due to location its just never worked out but I am glad we finally got there and it was so worth it!

Siren arts is a complete sweetheart, a joy to work with. She is super relaxed and makes sure you are well fed and watered before you leave. During our shoot we managed to get some pretty awesome headshots that I cant wait to see the final result of.

I can only recomened this stunning photographer.

Much love,

Eve

I had a wonderful shoot with Siren arts during a recent trip to Portsmouth. We didn't have a set plan but got a great variety of interesting images. I think Siren has an amazing eye and the images I have seen so far are outstanding. She made great use of the amazing apartment I was staying in. She was also kind enough to invite myself and fellow model Anna along for some delicious post-shoot pub grub, which was very thoughtful. I would highly recommend Siren to any model :).

I had a wonderful shoot recently with the amazing Siren Arts!

We worked on some modern pinup / Hollywood glamour swimwear shots together and I loved every minute of it!

Siren is an incredibly talented photographer, who works very quickly and efficiently to get the right shots. She is very fast at setting up the scene and doesn't waste any time on things that aren't working: she will quickly move onto something else that works better, rather than flogging a dead donkey!

Siren is amazing at giving direction and is very empathic and aware of model comfort. She is great at getting the best out of any model and always produces beautiful, magazine quality images.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot. Would love to work together again!

Highly recommended!

I worked with the amazing Siren Arts for the first time in the summer on a very impromptu shoot in July and had such a great time! The shoot was very brief and completely on a whim (as all of the best shoots are!) and I loved every minute of it!

Siren is fantastic at quickly setting the scene- she had a beautiful location to use, a lovely flowing skirt she had sourced ready for me to wear and the scene was set!

Siren gives great direction whilst still encouraging the model to work to their natural best - I also loved her natural light photography which is my favourite method of shooting. She works fluidly and with ease and I felt so comfortable- I could have easily spent all day shooting with her!

The photos looked absolutely beautiful and I am really looking forward to seeing the uploads!

Thanks so much Siren, you are amazing. Super highly recomemnded to all and I really hope we get the chance to work together again soon, Helen x

I attended a workshop run by Siren art today, I learnt so much and very highly recommend anyone knew to studio lighting and wanting to learn more take a workshop with her, we learned so much more than just lighting, great workshop, very relaxed learning experience and very highly recomended, well done.

Steve Flack

My fiancé and I attended todays modelling workshop hosted by the very talented Siren Arts. The workshop consisted of 3 lighting setups and all the photographers who attended were very attentive. We personally enjoyed all the help and advice around posing as we often work with new and inexperienced models looking to have their first portfolio.

The workshop was 4 hours, but felt like 2. Time flew past and every photographer had sufficient time to work with the model.

I would like to sincerely thank Siren Arts for her time and patience today, it really was appreciated. Very highly recommended.

Wolfman

Best 4hrs I've ever spent in a studio learning to direct models and the technicalities of lighting. Siren Arts gave excellent tuition, presented in a relaxed but for me, informative way that explained why things happen with the light.

Highly recommended and at a very very reasonable cost considering the information gained

Roswell Ivory

I had a fantastic shoot with Siren Arts on Monday and cannot recommend her any more highly!

Pre shoot communication was excellent, I knew what to bring and where to be, and she gives great direction. She's also a super lovely person, making her a joy to work with.

Recommended 100%

Rebecca Lotus

This is my second shoot with Siren Arts and I can honestly say that they're some of my favourite images to date that we have produced.

Her direction is on point, she knows 100% what she wants to achieve, once the idea is in her head she is determined to bring it to life. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody, without a doubt one of the sweetest most wonderful people to work with.

Thank you 💜

I recently had the pleasure to work with the super amazing Sinopa during my time at Studland Bay House. We grabbed some time on the Saturday morning where the light was just perfect! Sinopa has a great eye for images and produces fantastic results... I am so pleased with the images from our shoot. I can't recommend her enough! Hopefully I will get to work with her again soon :D
