A creative make-up shoot for our sixth shoot and what a blast! Maria's styling was sublime and her make-up skills were exceptional. I swear I shot 3 different models in the same shoot. Great versatility, creativity, and a little hint of magic!

Maria is an absolute delight to work with, and I think we have some great ideas for the next few months! (The advantage of half an hour's drive home!!).

I can't fault Maria, and I very much look forward to continuing to work with her. Top Model again and again!!!

I’m a man of small words when it comes to writing what I can say is that Maria is a wonderful model I love the way she carry’s herself good comms, turns up on time and very creative. Maria needs very little instruction and knows her angles, tall elegant has a sense of innocence yet very mature beyond her years, if you can cook as good as me you will get a smile that lights up the room.

Thank you so much again Maria, you're the very best!! :)

Well the fact that I have worked with Maria, so many times now, indicates to me, that I couldn't be more happy, with every shoot with Maria.

When I think of a professional model, it is someone just like Maria, they know exactly what they doing, are intelligent, fun, and very creative too.

I'm very much looking forward, to our next shoots we have planned aswell, and if you are considering working with her, go for it, you will get to work with an incredible person, and walk away with some absolutely beautiful photos too!!

Thanks again Maria, till next time! :)

Maria is lovely to work with in all respects. She has an in depth knowledge which, helps the photographer achieve good images. Very pleasant personality with both self-assurance and good work ethic. I would highly recommend Maria.

Had a first shoot with the lovely MariaGu. Preshoot comms were excellent. We created a mood board and had a good idea of what we were going for. Come the day, Maria was fabulous to shoot with. She has great style and a great look. She posed effortlessly and together we created some images that I'm really proud of.

I couldn't be happier with how things went and I really hope we get to work together again. Maria is awesome! And she gets the highest possible recommendation from me! Thanks MariaGu :-)

Thank you so much Maria, as always, you are perfection!!

I love this woman, absolutely amazing images, come from every shoot with Maria. A dream to work with, and have to say, my favourite model, I'm very grateful and honoured, I've had the chance to, create some beautiful art with her.

Maria is always very interested pre shoot, as to what kind of look, you are trying to achieve, and then, on the actual shoot, I'm always amazed, how beautiful her choice of clothing and ideas are, Maria has so many amazing ideas, I'm very happy to go along with her.

On the actual shoots, Maria poses effortlessly, and has amazing imagination. Her range of expressions are incredible, it's like working with an actress.

I honestly recommend Maria, with all my heart, and so looking forward to the next project, we have in mind!!

Thank you so much Maria!! :)

Maria is superb! With passion, enthusiasm and attention to detail, she acquired the outfits for the style I wanted to work on, paying close attention to the entire ensemble including make-up and accessories and which locations each outfit would work best in, before seamlessly providing the poses and action most suitable for each look. All I did was send a few pictures to her beforehand. Quite literally bowled over by the level of pre-shoot prep Maria put in and giddily excited to have come away with the fashion set I wanted. She really is a true collaborator and if you go in with a firm idea what you're aiming to achieve, Maria will do everything to help you.

Book her. I am, again. In fact, we started planning the look and location for the next shoot during this shoot. It didn't take long for me to realise that a working relationship with Maria will be productive and fun.

Great model, great stylist, ace person. Don't miss out.

Thanks Maria! New mood boards being prepared as I speak :)

Oh my gosh. Maria was fantastic. Pre-shoot comms, her arrival time, her own make-up, her selection of clothes, just everything was great. And she’s knows how to pose, which is always helpful. Thank you Maria for the excellent shoot today.

Fabulous. Maria took great care with her appearance and outfits, always making sure that straps were straight etc. A lovely person who cares about the photographer's goals.

Modella...

Well… . WOW, indeed!

Even after reading M’s references and seeing the quality of work on her profile, she still managed to surprise me! Not only in her skills, but her own ideas, the way she took direction and even her attitude are all en pointe!

If you’ve got this far to read my reference, then trust me when I say that there really isn’t anything more that you’d need from working with a model... a reliable professional, no doubt, but also a truly amazing human who turned our time into an event!

Indeed, there are a stack of concepts I have that I know that we’ll be able to rock throughout our coming bookings. Thank you for making things flow as all shoots should M...and photographers, there’s no need to read any further, book some time and work with a real gem, your work demands it!

Had a fantastic first shoot with the beautiful model Maria around the City of Bath. From first contact to meeting her, communications was brilliant and Maria was a true professional, arriving on time and being well prepared. She has a great personality, creative and wonderfully photogenic. And she clearly loves being infront of the camera and knows her stuff. It was a great privilege and pleasure to shoot her, and will be the first of many to come. We created some amazing images and had a wonderful and enjoyable time doing so. Can’t thank her enough. Brilliant shoot!

Well, what can I say, we were planning another shoot in due course but then Maria got a cancellation so I jumped in. Not often I shoot the same model twice in one week but to be honest I am glad I did. Maria is a delight to work with from start to finish. I may be going through Maria's wardrobe at a rate of knots so we'll do something a little different next time. For now, I am delighted with the results from the shoot (as always) and I am looking forward to the next shoot already. Of course, I unreservedly recommend Maria to all.

Having shot with Maria several times now and there will be many, many more. Absolutely flawless attention to detail, understands how to pose naturally and can adapt to changing environments.

If you're serious about your photography, shoot with Maria. End of.

See you soon, Maria!

Another Great shoot with Maria. This was the second time I had worked with Maria, this time on a one to one shoot, as amateur I found her incredibly easy to work with, Maria can pose freely but can also take directions and as we had discussed at the beinging helped by contributing suggestions.

Maria turned up on the day exactly as arranged, made up and ready to shoot.

Recommend you book Maria as I hope to again in the not to distant future.

Thanks Maria for a Great Shoot :)

Had a fantastic outdoor shoot with Maria despite the temperamental weather. Perfect pre shoot comms discussing outfits and moodboard. Met up on time at agreed location ready for action.

The shoot was great. Using several different locations and outfits, Maria needs very little direction and poses beautifully. I was so pleased to work with her, such a warm personality and wow, THAT smile. Amazing!

I had a spontaneous shoot with Maria on Saturday. I would highly recommended her to anyone who is seeking a model with a professional attitude and high work ethic. Pre-shoot communication was spot on! Upon arrival she was prepared. The shoot was effortless! She needed no direction and was quick with ideas on ways to improve the photoshoot. Once again she's highly recommended and would love to work with her again in the near future.

What can be said about Maria that hasn't been said already. One thing is ensured and that's her professionalism. She's focused and gives 100% to the shoot's requirements. Acting spontaneously if needed and always enthusiastic. Her communication beforehand was excellent especially replying where she was faultless. This, together with her modelling mastery makes me believe I will be requesting her modelling prowess again.

Another great shoot with Maria, our 4th now and as good as ever! I love the poses and expressions, her attitude and her style. Always well prepared for shoots with great outfits with make-up done to a very high standard, topped up as we go. She also always makes sure her hair is tip top. End result, pretty much every shot is a keeper!

Looking forward to the next shoot already. I can't recommend Maria highly enough and I look forward to more shoots when our schedules allow.

I had a brilliant shoot with Maria and would thoroughly recommend her.

Pre shoot comms were great, she really took the time to understand my aims and the location. She brought outfits with her that were well thought through giving looks that were just right for the shoot.

I was really pleased with her posing as well - fluid and varied with a definite lean towards fashion with interesting shapes. Small, subtle changes to angles and expression as well as good movement and variety made the shoot very easy.

To top it all off MariaGu is relaxed and friendly and we had a great evening creating images I'm really happy with.

If you can work with MariaGu, do. I certainly hope to shoot with her again.

Fab, long awaited shoot with Maria around Cheltenham today. She arrived bang on time and ready to go and was full of ideas and poses to help get the best results possible. Friendly, professional and a dream to shoot with. Absolutely recommended by me 🙂
