Had a 1 2 1 life drawing session with Maleficent in her beautiful flat. The communication was spot on, with messages about the details for the session.

Maleficent is a great host and very easy to work with, she is very accommodating to get the perfect setting and pose, she responds amazingly to what I had in mind.

Can’t wait to the next time where I can work with Maleficent again. 100% recommended.

Many thanks,

Jorge

Had my first shoot with Mal the other day. Mal is a fantastic model and really was a joy to work with. She had great communication before the shoot and was very easygoing during the shoot. I would certainly work with her again and I can't wait to develop my images.

I hadn't shot with Mal before, but was given the opportunity at her AuraPhotographic studio day. I had some ideas of what I was looking to achieve and she was immediately up to speed/offering thoughts and ideas of her own. We started off trying various looks in the main part of the studio and then moved up (literally) into the new mezzanine LED "window light" area. We seemed to chat about all manner of things between sets, adding to a most enjoyable couple of hours.

This was our first shoot together, and I'm now wondering why I hadn't reached out sooner. Maleficent is an incredibly talented model, I had a blast working with her.

We had been planning our shoot for a couple of weeks, her on-site comms were great and she was quick getting back to me. I like to work with moodboards, and she was very receptive to this, looking over everything in advance and understanding what I wanted from the shoot.

On the day of shooting, Maleficent was amazing. Very patient and accommodating (we used her apartment for the shoot). She's friendly and I found we had a lot to chat about throughout the two hours we had planned. She has a great range of outfits, and her organisation is AMAZING.

Maleficent is a pro at posing, and capturing what you as a photographer needs to create mind blowing photos. She brings so much to a shoot, and understands how to work with the location and light around her.

I would highly recommend her to any photographer, and can't wait to shoot together again. She's one of the best models I've worked with over the years, and will definitely reach out for future shoots.

Thanks for the great shoot!

An excellent model, very professional and with an engaging personality. She takes direction well and is a good communicator. I would recommend her highly to anyone.

I wanted to shoot with Maleficent for ages as she had the perfect look I was after for a couple of ideas I wanted to shoot So I searched the back of the sofa and raided the piggy bank to get the train fare to big city to shoot at Mass flat. Maleficent is great friendly and easy to work with the flat has loads of windows and great light. We powered through all the arranged stuff and threw in some extra spur of the moment ideas as well. Mal needed minimal directection for the poses as she got the vibe i wanted straight off off. So a pleasure to work with and well worth the trip to big city.

I had a fabulous second shoot with Maleficent during her recent tour to Glasgow. Our pre-shoot communications were excellent and Maleficent brought a wonderful range of outfits with her based on our discussions. Maleficent was ready to shoot when I arrived and we quickly sorted out a set plan in the location and with the outfits.

During the shoot Maleficent is very productive yet also chilled with great communication meaning the time flies past. We got many amazing images. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Maleficent and very much hope to work with her again.

I can't believe it was 7 years ago that I had my first ever shoot and Maleficent was the calming model. When I saw the studio day with her at Studio - R3 I happily signed up for two hrs.

In the two, very short hours, we got through 4 different clothing changes and we created so many great photos together. Maleficent is so full of ideas and poses effortlessly and we had a great laugh together.

Thanks again Maleficent for another awesome shoot and hopefully we will work again soon when you come back to Scotland

Shot with Maleficent for the first time on her recent tour to Glasgow.

Pre-comms were great. When I arrived at the apartment she was all ready to go, and suggested wardrobe and ideas suited to the location. I found her friendly and very easy to work with during the shoot.

Really happy with the images we got and would highly recommend Maleficent. Hope to shoot again soon.

Thanks again,

Finally I got to work with the amazing Maleficent! For so long I have been wanting to work with Maleficent and so it was a pleasure to finally meet her!

She allowed me to use her amazing indoor apartment space and I am so happy with what we created!

Maleficent is such a genuine person and experienced model - I can’t wait to work together again in the future!

I'd been wanting to shoot Maleficent for a while, and our initial attempt was delayed due to things outside our control, but we got there in the end. I'm very glad that we did!

Pre-comms were excellent and very collaborative. Maleficent borrowed some latex specially for the shoot and we made best use of it with several different sets in Fareham Studio. Mal is very easy to work with, yet totally professional with it. We shot tethered throughout and modified and improved things as we went along. The only problem now is trying to make a final selection!

Thank you Maleficent - definitely and thoroughly recommended!

I booked Maleficent for the first time as part of my Myths and Goddess art series I have been working on. where she was to help bring Pandora and her box of trouble to life so we could tell her story in art, with makeup by Ayeesha and props and costumes specially created for the shoot. she was a real pleasure to work with and really helped me to capture the images I had envisaged to create the art works I am planning to tell her story. her poses and expressions were spot on and really captured the emotions I wanted for the pieces I am planning to create for my series, I would highly recommend Maleficent to photographers of all levels, looking for great experienced model who gives 100% and will deliver time and time again helping you capture great images and is fun to work with too. Thankyou again Maleficent for being part of my project and will look forward to showing you the finished art works and hope to work with you again on another project in the near future.

On my last trip to London in April, I had again the opportunity to arrange a shoot with Maleficent in her flat in London near Canary Wharf. It will be my last possibility there as Maleficent will be moving out soon.

The flat apartment on the 19th floor offered many opportunities for beautiful photos.

The pre-comms were very good. I had made some thematic suggestions for our shoot, we had planned to incorporate the interior of the flat into the shooting and we did just that. Not least the fantastic view of the London skyline.

Maleficent had all the outfits and props well prepared. She is a very good experienced model who constantly offers good poses and always has an open ear for my suggestions during our shoot.

She is also a very friendly and nice person, and again it was a pleasure to work with her.

My conclusion: Two hours of great collaboration in a relaxed atmosphere with convincing results.

Many thanks to Maleficent, who I would love to work with again in the future.

Recently had the pleasure of shooting with Maleficient at my studio/apartment in Brighton. This shoot had been a long time coming as I recall having first tried to arrange something last year but we couldn't make it work in the calendar.

Mal was very co-operative in pre-comms and tolerated several potential shifts of venue until finally settling on Brighton.

The shoot itself was excellent with Maleficient's iconic look working very well within my apartment. Unfortunately, it was a very grey cloudy day and light was at a premium but fortunately Mal's style works well in that context.

I found Mal easy to work with and easy to talk to and the in our 4 hours we worked through several great sets as well as taking time out for breaks.

I would definitely recommend Mal. She is a pleasure to work with.

This was the second time we have had a photo shoot together, this time at her flat/studio near Canary Wharf. The views from her 19th floor flat are breath taking. The theme for the shoot was Gothic and Mal had a good selection of outfits to wear. She is a very experience model with plenty of poses to suit this theme. I would certainly recommend her.

Finally got to work with Maleficent! We had planned to shoot at the start of 2024, but we both had to rearrange shoot dates and I'm glad I saw the last place available at her studio day at Neon Dreams so we finally did get our first photoshoot done.

Maleficent is a great model to work with. Funny, great at posing, always offering ideas for outfits from what she has and hardly an direction as you just let her go into a flow of poses and you're going to get great images. Definitely a model I would hope to work with again be it in person or remotely.

BlackMountain

I booked Maleficent on her recent studio day at Neon Dreams studios. We worked through various ideas and she kind enough to bring outfits for one particular idea I outlined in our preshoot comms. Really enjoyed our time together and now I just need to edit the images we captured and choose the ones to publish. Going to be hard limit myself to a sensible number as they are all good!

Saracen House Studio

It was wonderful to finally meet Maleficent for the first time recently, after being a big fan of her work previously.

She's such a friendly and approachable person and her passion for creating beautiful images is more than apparent.

Hopefully we'll see Maleficent back at Saracen House again soon.
