Thank you so much Maria, you are amazing, I have loved every shoot with you, Thank You so much!!

I have worked with Maria, atleast 4 times now, and I have recommended her to other photographer's as my favourite model to work with.

On our latest shoot, we did outdoor portraits, at various locations, that Maria knew. The choices of her clothing, were perfect, Maria had obviously put a lot of thought into the shoot.

I very highly recommend Maria, an amazing model, her ability to show so many different emotions, on the shoot, are a god send, making creating images so much more, fun and interesting!!

Thank you once again Maria, let's do something again very soon!! :)

Maria was extremely friendly and well organised. She recognised immediately what was required and did everything she was asked with good humour and intelligence. I can happily recommend working with her.

Well presented, great wardrobe, excellent at doing her own make up, great pre shoot communications and thoroughly pleasant to shoot with.

The Creative Eye Photographers

An outstanding model without a doubt. Excellent pre comms throughout and turned up with excellent choice of fashion wear which gave our photographers a lovely variation for their portfolios. Her attention to makeup pre-shoot was excellent and her continual attention to her hair and makeup throughout the shoot was exceptional. She is a very friendly, confident and professional model. She worked well with each photographer, her welcoming and open approach makes working with her enjoyable for all those involved. Outstanding, thank you Maria, can't wait to shoot with you again soon!

Had a wonderful first shoot with Maria in London on a autumnal fashion shoot meetup run by The Creative Eye Photographers around St.Pauls.Maria turned up on time ready to go with hair and makeup done and with a couple of different outfits for the 2 hours shoot. She was very easy to talk to and very professional and friendly. Her posing was amazing and could do so with or without direction. I would highly recommend working with Maria and would love to work with her again in the future. Thanks Maria for a fun shoot.

Had a shoot with Maria when she visited London. Pre-comms were clear and she arrived on time.

Maria poses with ease and takes direction well. She has a pleasant personality and is easy to work with. We had a half day shoot and got some great images. Would have no hesitation in recommending Maria for your next shoot.

Had my first shoot with the stunning Maria today, and I'm sure it won't be the last. In her portfolio Maria says that she is "experienced, confident, down to earth and friendly". Also, that she loves being in front of a camera and loves creating exiting images. All this I can vouch for. Maria moves effortlessly from pose to pose enabling me to capture some outstanding images at today's session. Her pleasant demeanour and willingness to work hard made for a very enjoyable shoot. Her pre-shoot communications were excellent. I would thoroughly recommend Maria to photographers of all experience levels.

I had a Photoshoot with Maria on my recent visit to Cheltenham.

It was a brief Outdoor session and it was a productive one, as the rain stayed away.

Took in the sights of Cheltenham Town, as we went along to various locations.

Maria is smart, tall and would be just right for Beauty, Portrait, Lifestyle and Fashion type Photography.

Many thanks for Maria for being my Tour Guide on the day

This was my second shoot with Maria and for very good reason. She is quite the perfectionist when it comes to her makeup, always checking her look in the back of camera, and touching up when needed. A relaxed, very confident and professional model to work with. It has been an absolute joy and pleasure working with her again.

Wow, I had an incredible shoot with Maria, she is truly a class act - her experience and professionalism shone through with effortless poses and the resulting photos exude a lovely elegance and sophistication. I would be honoured to work with Maria another time if I ever get the chance. Highly recommended.

I had been chasing a shooting with Maria for quite a lot of time, and the wait was well worth it! She's super, very nice as a person, and very good and beautiful as model! The weather didn't help us unfortunately, but she's been very brave in facing some cold and chill wind to take the shots we had planned! I can't wait to work with her again!

This is a disgracefully late reference. I could plead loads of health & other issues which have squeezed my time, but basically it's because I am lazy and disorganised.

Although, having said that, I often think that models of Maria's calibre don't really need another reference from a muppet like me.

And there you have it - sheer high calibre. Dress sense, posing, poise, experience, energy, creativity - all top notch.

I have known her, on a group shoot, do quick changes of four outfits and throw over 500 poses, with minimal direction, in three hours.

But on our last shoot (6th June 19) we worked at a slower pace, with a good proportion of the shots very carefully arranged to my ideas - Maria is equally at home working this way.

A fair amount of my other work is on slightly risque shots involving vintage underwear and stockings. I have inferred this is not Maria's thing - so I have never asked - however I really enjoy and look forward to that constraint and the extra creativity it brings to bear.

And finally Maria's clear skin and carefull make-up means less faffing in Photoshop.

Absolutely unreserved recommendation - (but whether Maria would tolerate me again is another matter!)

Had my first shoot with Maria.

A great model and just a friendly person that makes the photo shoot so much easier to manage. She is very experienced and professional and needs very little directions for posing. She always happy to hear out for new ideas and comes with loads of her own.

Hope to have an opportunity to work with her again.

Absolutely recommended to shoot with!

Another great shoot with Maria last week. She is such a delight to work with and oozes style and grace. Maria is getting more and more confident and I am looking forward to seeing what she creates in the future. For now, I am very happy with what we are creating and I would welcome the opportunity to work with Maria again. As ever, more than happy to recommend to all.

I organised a shoot with Maria for myself and three other photographers, pre shoot communication was good and on the day Maria turned up as arranged, with a selection of outfits. Maria was great, working well with each member of the group, help us each achieve the images we wanted.

Maria is a great model with a great look and natural beauty, it was a real pleasure working with her, I look forward to working with her again.

Thanks Maria for a great shoot. Recommended

Thank you Maria, it's been amazing having the opportunity, to have worked with you!! :)

I was so pleased, I managed to have another shoot, with Maria, I was so impressed with her, on my two previous shoots.

I really love facial expressions, and Maria very intelligently, expresses the perfect expressions, in the moment, and that's a real skill, as they always look so natural.

Before the shoot, Maria was interested in locations, and styles of clothing, which really shows she cares, and wanted to be part of the creations.

I chose a location, that unfortunately, wasn't quite what I was expecting, but Maria really made the best of the situation, and came up with some amazing idea's, we managed to create some beautiful images.

I have loved working with Maria, every time, a very beautiful person, who is very down to earth, and very much a pleasure to be around.

I can honestly highly recommend Maria, and I'm very sure we will work together again, its been an amazing creative partnership. Thank you so much Maria!! :)

Excellent shoot with Maria. Good clear and constructive communications in advance, arrived punctually and ready to shoot. A most professional approach to makeup and styling with a genuine attitude to care and ensure that we collaborated to achieve some great shots and a successful outcome.
