Working with Maria is a rollercoaster between total dedicated creativity and wonderful fun. She's incredibly helpful, showing you the best poses for your body and shape and has a gorgeous collection of jewellery, makeup and costumes. Working with Maria guarantees incredible photos for your portfolio. Her garden studio has numerous places to make fairytale dreams come true, I adore her work and am so provileged to have had the chance to get to know how she creates these images.

Such a memorable and unique experience teaming up with Maria, during a Medusa Gorgona styled shoot. Her ideas are constantly flowing, and her wardrobe (for models) is exceptional. A very creative lady indeed!

Simone Stocks

This lady is phenomenal at what she does. I've not waited for any images to leave this reference because I loved the shoot so much. The wardrobe and accessories she has available for shoots are wonderful. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Maria, accompanied by model Molly Mae. Maria was ever so hospitable, brilliant with direction and a genuinely lovely person. I'm so happy to have shot with her and thought all of her behind the scenes work were awesome!

I had the pleasure of working with this fabulous lady of late, and she does not disappoint.

It's amazing working with someone so organised, we had an MUA and a videographer on board, which made the whole day more relaxed and thought out. Medusa even has a room full of what I can only describe as amazing stuff! So many props, wigs, outfits etc, you name it, I can pretty much guarantee you she has it!

Her eye for detail is phenomenal, she turns what was once a simple picture into a heavenly magical dream!

I cannot wait to be able to release the pictures and she comes thoroughly recommended from me. Thank you for a lovely day :)

I worked with Maria on a group project last weekend shooting background video and some stills. She put in a huge amount of work and energy to organising the 7 hour session with two models, MUA and multiple sets. The passion she has for her subject is clearly evident from the simply huge amount of clothing, jewelry, accessories and props she has lining the walls of her house.

she had put a huge amount of thought into what she wanted to achieve from the day such that it seemed almost instinctive to her when organising and posing both herself and the other model to get the look she was after.

It was a joy to watch her creative process in action and I would be delighted to work with her again.

Another lovely shoot. This one was a bit more rushed but care was taken and I enjoyed it. As always it was lots of fun and we received beautiful images.

I did a collbaroration with Maria in October with one of my designs and I have to say the images I have received are absolutely stunning, not only have they been published but they have also received multiple FPI's.

Communication was fantastic throughout, I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future.

I had my second shoot with Maria this year in two of my handmade outfits. The first concept was my Arwen dress from the Lord of the Rings using the surrounding forests near to her home. The second was a water themed shoot in her outdoors pool with my Ophelia dress in the style of Victoria Frances.

Maria is so easy to work with and always does everything she can to allow for my ideas and artistic expression, adding a touch of her own magical direction to compliment my own ideas. A fantastically talented and lovely lady, we always get beautiful results!

I had such an amazing shoot with Maria a week ago in her wonderful home based studio and garden.

Maria has everything you can possibly need to create the perfect look, from makeup to nails to every amazing jewelry peace. He imagination is incredible and she comes up with the most wonderful ideas.

Maria is excellent in communicating and knows exactly what she wants for her looks which makes it very easy to work with.

Maria is also extremely hospitable, she makes you feel at home, she has provided lovely food and refreshments on the day of the shoot and makes the yummiest raspberry jam :-).

It was such a pleasure to work with Maria and I cannot wait to see the final results and hope to work with her again in the future.

I am a very lucky person to have worked with Maria. Her shoot was a fairy tale in the enchanted forest (her beautiful garden) and she was amazing.

Very well organized studio with unique and rare outfits, accessories and props, all the necessary equipment to create stunning special effects. I did assist with the smoke machine, it was so much fun. She was clearly in command of the situation, keeping timing and coordinating everybody in a kind and friendly manner.

She was all the time looking for the best possible position, sometimes climbing high on a starecase, sometimes coming really close to the model. Her pictures show great light and a vast variation of angles.

We did enjoyed gallons of tea/coffee with tastiest raspberry jam as Anna has already revealed in her review.

It has been a wonderful experience and I would love to repeat it whenever possible.

I had an incredible shoot with this very talented photographer.

Maria has an eye for detail and she knows exactly what she wants from each image. Not only that but she is great to be around and is full of enthusiasm.

I was over the moon to see the images from our shoot published in a magazine and I highly recommend this photographer to anyone.

Thank you for an amazing shoot Maria. I hope we shoot together again soon!

Maria is very easy to work with and I always leave feeling very inspired by her creative side.

Thank you for working with me

Was part of an incredible shoot with Maria and Cheryl R recently, where Maria transformed her back garden in to a beautiful, smokey forest. Maria is extremely talented and unbelievably lovely all at the same time and it was a pleasure to work with her. It was a very hot day, but we all had lots of water, hot drinks ans snacks to keep us going. She also has an amazing collection of clothes, accessories, jewellery and make-up which meant the final overall look was like nothing I had ever seen before. Confirmed by the edited images we are now getting coming through! Maria is a definite artist, which means you only get to see her work when its ready, but from the images I've seen so far, its going to be worth every second of the wait! Thank you for inviting me to be part of such an experience! xx

A great talent which speaks in volumes more than my words can ever express. I am quite an admirer of Maria's great ability. Also a pleasant and great character whom I hope I may now call a friend.

I always look forward to seeing more works appear and i hope to see and be in more.

Had a lovely shoot yesterday; Medusa Gorgona's a delight to work with, she's very creative, welcoming and friendly, but also knows what she wants from a shoot. She also gave me some lovely free fake eyelashes! Thoroughly recommend working with her, and I'd love to work with her again.

Thanks for a lovely shoot!

Maria is one exceptionally talented photographer. Her wisdom, creativy and passion for her art unravels dark works of marvellous mystery within her photos.

We worked together on a shoot for my handmade dresses and completely utilized the lovely local scenery, from her magical garden to the surrounding woodland. She has an incredible collection of props and accessories, lots of which we used for the shoot, and she makes the most lovely flower headdresses. Full of imagination and ideas, Maria is overflowing with creativity and energy, relentlessly working away to set the scene and use the best accessories to compliment the desired look of the photos. She is a lovely lady, such great fun to work with and I would love to work with her again in the future.

I could not recommend working with Maria more highly - its so refreshing to work with somebody so creative, and who is able to execute their ideas so beautifully. We teamed up with Gothic Lolita Wigs and Dolluxe lashes for the shoot, working with 2 fantastic models. I did makeup and was also asked to step in at the last minute to model and I was thrilled with the photos Maria took of me, they're stunning and a unique addition to my portfolio. I feel she really did justice to my makeup artistry, and photographed it beautifully. I hope we can get another chance to work together in future :)

My first shoot with 'Medusa' was such a delight!

The turn of weather didn't phase her and she worked around it professionally, even when we had to change a theme completely.

She is an energetic, lovely lady with so much enthusiasm for her work. She is full of ideas and I think she could have carried on all evening if she could. A joy to work with!

Neeve Kelly

A superb photographer, excellent stylist and fabulous all round creative!

I really enjoy working with Medusa and I'm looking forward to when I get to work with her again.

I hugely recommend Medusa to all, you won't be disappointed!

Had a fantastic shoot with Medusa yesterday, and I must say what a pleasure it was to. She is so creative with endless ideas of how to capture every detail in an image. I was totally amazed by the collections of jewellery and props ready for individual shots.

Medusa is very friendly and is extremely great to work with.

I would highly recommend her to all as she adds that element of mystery in all her images.

Thank you. Would be great to work with you again Smile
