Marnie is such a wonderful model, as playfully creative as she is emotionally honest. I am so impressed by her artistic dedication, her expressive range, and the directness with which she communicates with the viewer. I feel like I've only just begun to learn what she has to teach.

There is a rare truthfulness to her work which cannot be contrived - the images you see here are of a person who is genuinely giving all that she can to the camera, with beautiful, touching results. I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Marnie and can't wait to collaborate with her again.

Marnie and I finally caught a good weather window for our long-planned shoot on the moors. The day was beautiful, the landscape stunning and Marnie looked wonderful, moving effortlessly between exuberant, emotive and dark gothic themes.

Even though the day was gloriously sunny and clear, it was still a bit chilly up on the tops, but Marnie was well-prepared and dealt with the cold and the wet terrain amazingly well. We covered a lot of ground, both photographically and geographically, making the most of the stunning views, the natural rock formations and a wonderfully gloomy and mysterious pine forest.

Marnie was a pleasure to be with. She's a very friendly and empathic person with a clear artistic vision for what the shoot needs to achieve and a 100% professional attitude about getting those images. She is a fellow creative soul and I am very much looking forwards to our next shoot together.

Can’t believe how quickly I arranged my first shoot with Marnie, messaged each other on the Monday and by Tuesday morning was with her doing our shoot. I have to confess that I am a conservative amateur photography longing to work with models who, like me are striving to create images which capture the imagination. Marnie was just a joy to work with a joy to be with, she is so comfortable in her own skin and wants to produce art, not simply glam.

She has such a natural beauty which I can only describe as captivating, she has a feel for what needs to happen in front of the camera and behind it and also likes to have a say in how the lighting works with her features. At times she took me to task for being too fixated on poses and after a short break she made me relax and helped me to re-start our shoot with an eye on imagery rather simply poses.

Marnie is an intelligent / thinking subject who is sensitive to all around her, quite simply great to work with and easy to get on with. I can’t recommend her enough but be prepared to think outside the box, if you do you will get some amazing images. I will be most happy to shoot with her again.

Pre - comms etc, perfect. Thank you Marnie for helping to restore my passion.

I had a second shoot with Marnie on a rainy day that forced us to change our original plans and switch to an indoor set. Marnie had some excellent ideas that I was very happy to work on and she really pulled out the stops with several very different looks.

Marnie gave the shoot everything and flowed into some wonderfully expressive poses. She was proactive, 100% engaged and committed and I feel the images we produced reflect her enthusiasm. It's so nice to work with such a thoughtful and creative person who can interpret mood and emotion - something that brings images alive. She's also a great person to spend time with and chat about art and music. A fun and sparky photo session, good conversation and a creative, insightful model - what better way to spend a grey and rainy day?

We are setting up our next shoot. I just know it's going to be good. Thanks again, Marnie. Photographers - book her soon!

My first shoot with Marnie, and a very productive one. She is an enthusiastic, hard-working model, ready to try a range of ideas and moods. We discussed clothes, themes and lighting/editing styles and Marnie posed easily and fluently to capture the ideas. Great make-up and hair, and a big selection of outfits as well!

Communications pre-shoot were good and Marnie was very professional throughout. As a relatively new model, starting to find her creative visual voice, she is an interesting and very friendly person to work with and has good ideas of her own. I'm sure with her creative spirit she will go far. I'm looking forward to doing more work together and exploring the concepts we share.

Looking forward to shooting again, Marnie!

Shot with Marnie from her home, and we had a really chilled shoot.

She was prepared with outfits and her style really matched what I was looking for.

I’d love to shoot again in 2022 🙂

Had the absolute pleasure of a creative few hours with Marnie. It was a plethora of ideas and stimulating chat. The images flowed thick and fast and came out amazing.

It was a true collaboration, both Marnie and myself were in it from start to finish.

I can’t recommend Marnie enough. Book her and find out for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

I’ll be working with her again, hopefully soon.

Had a first shoot with Marnie shooting a variety of styles including vintage. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and she came along well prepared for the shoot.

Her input during the shoot was great and she was happy to try something then adjust where needed to improve the shots.

Really happy with the images we created and looking forward to another shoot sometime.
