References for 'M'

Chris Horgan

I’ve just finished shooting a two-part project with M. Part one was shot at the end of May and we shot the second part this week.

When M first mentioned this shoot idea it sounded great and I made some suggestions for the lighting so we could work on shoot specifics.

All the ideas, looks, styling and concept are M’s. She has had a very clear vision all the way through.

As well as having a well-defined shoot plan, she has also done all the styling for the shoots.

M had a specific look for each of the parts of this project and it was necessary for her to create headpieces and style accessories and outfits to fit in with the theme.

These elaborate headpieces have been created from scratch for each shoot and perfectly match her vision for the look of the images. M has put a lot of effort into making the headpieces and when you look at the images it really shows just how skilled and creative she is.

She has also created a distinct make-up look for each of the shoots which adds to the effectiveness of the images.

On each of the shoots M has been very well prepared and had a very clear vision of the look she was going to achieve. For each shoot, the make-up was excellent - highly creative, expertly applied and a perfect fit for the themes.

Although we had specific images to create, the shoots were (as usual), very relaxed and highly creative throughout and this allowed us to capture the images just as we wanted.

Throughout each of the shoots, M modelled excellently and was tireless in her efforts to get the perfect shots. In addition, M has exceptional creative skills which enabled her to bring her visions to life.

I’ve worked with M many times on a variety of different projects. She is always very hard working, very reliable and very easy to work with.

I can highly recommend M for any project. Whether M is modelling, styling, creating, doing the make-up or a combination of them all she always gives 100% to ensure that any shoot yields amazing results.

It has been great working on this project. The images look fantastic and I look forward to working with her on future projects.

Thank you for another excellent shoot!

I had an awesome shoot with M at Antwerp Mansion yesterday.

This was one of the biggest shoots we’ve done so it meant a very long day of travelling, getting hair and make-up done and shooting. This was the first time we’d used a MUA as I usually rely on M’s excellent skills and we were lucky to have the very talented Courtney (Artistry By Courtney) on board for this shoot.

Despite the long day, M was fantastic to work with and she worked hard all day long to ensure that we created some stunning images. In addition, she was also enthusiastic throughout which helped keep a nice relaxed atmosphere the whole day.

The shoot took a few months to plan everything out in terms of concept, location, looks, styling, outfit and accessories and M was instrumental in ensuring that we achieved everything we set out to do. This ranged from sharing ideas, looking online for outfits and creating the right look with the addition of tattoos and contacts.

Comms were excellent all the way through and on the day of the shoot we knew exactly what we wanted to achieve. When we arrived at Antwerp Mansion we checked out the best locations to use and shared ideas on how to get the best out of the environment. In addition, M was happy to go along with my lighting experiments and try things out even if we were unsure of what the results would be.

I have worked with M many times, on big shoots and small shoots. These have ranged from basic fashion to cosplay concepts and more involved cinematic concepts such as this and M is always excellent from start to finish. She’s highly creative, enthusiastic, hard working and so easy to work with ensuring that we always have a very productive and relaxed shoot.

I very highly recommend M to any Photographer, Designer or indeed, any other Creative.Whether she’s selecting a range of outfits and accessories, doing her own make-up and styling, skillfully crafting outfits and accessories or simply modelling casual fashion, the results are always fantastic.

I am extremely happy with how everything has turned out. We have created a stunning range of images, each excellently modelled and exactly as I’d hoped they’d turn out.

Thank you.

I worked with M at Antwerp Mansion in Manchester recently on a slightly supernatural themed photoshoot. It was great to meet her and she was very easy to work with, super friendly and chatty and it was a pleasure to work with her. She has a beautiful face which made my job as a makeup artist very easy. I would love to work with her again in the future.

I had a very productive enjoyable shoot with M. She's professional and prepared. The shoot was relaxed and M was easy to work with. I recommend M. Thank you for modelling for me.

I had a fantastic creative make-up shoot with M yesterday.

This was another excellent shoot with M and I am really pleased with the images we’ve created.

As always, comms were first rate all the way through and on the day of the shoot M was punctual and very well prepared.

M had lots of creative ideas and a clear vision of what she wanted us to achieve and this made it very easy to get the shots set up to create a great set of images.

The make-up look that M created was awesome and very skilfully applied. She had also adapted her outfit so that it fitted in perfectly with the look she wanted to create.

Although the shoot was a little different to my usual fashiony stuff in terms of lighting, M is so easy to work with that it was simple and straightforward to create a great set of images. M also modelled excellently all the way through the shoot and this enabled us to get the exact shots that we wanted.

I would very highly recommend M to any photographer or creative team looking to create some excellent imagery. I have done many varied shoots with M and she always puts in the maximum effort on every shoot to create the best images possible. She is a fantastic model, stylist and designer with excellent make-up skills and is highly creative and able to channel that creativity into achievable results. In addition, M is very easy to work with and the shoots are always relaxed, stress-free and highly productive.

Many thanks.

I had the pleasure of shooting with M for the first time day and she was an absolute joy to work with. Pre-communication was first class and she turned up on time & ready to shoot. Her creativity and imaginative approach to the theme, saw her create a stunning look that fitted the project perfectly. She's such a fun, easy-going and lovely person to be around that the time just flies when you are with her and she makes the whole process so easy. A natural in front of the lens M needs no direction, but is always happy to take on any suggestions that you have and strives to help you create the best images possible. I'd very highly recommend M to any photographer or studio out there and I can't wait to work with her again in the future as she's a star :)

I assisted for a shoot at my studio (the rock factory photo studio) today with M.

She was on time and showed up with the elaborate pre planned makeup applied so we were able to just get in with it with minimal setup time.

Working with M she was professional, good humoured and required very little direction.

She even laughed at my jokes which is always a plus in my book ;)

I would work with her again.

I’ve worked with M on many varied shoots over the last five years and she always exceeds my expectations. She is very creative and talented and extremely easy to work with which makes it so easy to get great results each time.

I recently did a shoot with M which was a character study of Ciri from the Witcher (my first shoot for over 14 months). We’ve been working on this project for quite a while and I’ve relied totally on M’s creative skills and talents to bring this project to fruition.

M has worked very hard to create the Ciri outfit and accessories and she has done an amazing job sourcing and making stuff. The outfit is fantastic with great attention to detail - this is only the first part of the project and I am really looking forward to shooting the rest of it!

In addition, she has also done all the make-up (including a sfx scar) for the project which adds even more depth to the character.

M is a very talented designer and was able to get into character to ensure that we have a realistic portrayal of Ciri. She also brought many ideas to the shoot (e.g. making Ciri more battle worn rather than a pristine portrayal of the character) and this input ensured that we got some great images on the day.

As always, M has been highly dedicated to ensuring that we produced the best images possible and she has worked tirelessly to bring the character of Ciri to life - through her design of the outfit, detail of the make-up and her characterisation while modelling.

I can’t recommend M highly enough. Whether you’re looking for a designer, stylist or a model you won’t be disappointed.

Many thanks.

I’d not been able to do many shoots last year and needed to practice some light setup/kit checks and I was pleased to find that M was available on the day I wanted to do this.

The shoot was quickly and easily arranged and on the day M was punctual and ready to go.

Although this was just a very basic shoot, I let M know what I was looking for and she came up with a great look and make-up so I could work on the lighting setup.

M is an excellent, hard-working and enthusiastic model and this made it very easy for me to just concentrate on the lighting and photography in order to get what I needed from the shoot.

I’ve shot with M many times over the last four years, on both basic fashion shoots and detailed themed shoots and she’s never been anything less than excellent on every one of them. So, if you’re looking for an excellent model (who can cover a wide variety of looks), a skilled and creative designer or an artistic stylist or a combination of all three, you need look no further than M.

Had a Beach shoot with M tonight. It went really smoothly. M was very easy to talk to, she has a great look, fluent posing by herself as well as following direction. She has a great sense of humour and is a lot of fun. I was more than amazed by the Costume, Makeup and Hair all creatively put together to a professional level by M herself.

What a talented Lady!

Safe to say I got some epic shots.

Hope I get chance to work with M again and soon!

Would recommend without hesitation. (Y)(Y)(Y)

Had another shoot with the lovely 'M'and as always had a really good pre shoot laugh before we got down to taking the photo's. I have shot with Michaela many, many times now, she is a fabulous model and always produces great images (including one of my FPI's) so that tells you the quality of her work. Shoots with her are always fun and relaxed, and i would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great model.

After concentrating on studio shoots for a while, I needed to get onto location to ensure that I didn’t lose what little skills I have in that area. So, I needed a model that was confident, patient, hardworking and skilled to ensure that I got some excellent images from the day.

I let M know the location and my basic idea for the shoot and she came up with great outfits and styling and these really worked well on the locations we used. From start to finish she worked hard and modelled well and this shows in the quality of the images.

I try and shoot with M every few months and she never disappoints or puts in anything less than 100% on the modelling, make-up and styling. She always contributes great ideas and this helps to ensure that we get excellent results from every shoot. Plus, she’s so easy to work with that I can just concentrate on getting the shots right.

So, if you’re looking for a punctual, reliable, confident, skilled model/stylist/designer who can do her make-up to a high standard then I’d highly recommend that you book M.

Thanks again for another very productive and successful shoot!

I had another excellent shoot with M yesterday.

This was a two-part shoot. The first involved a selection of outfits put together by M and she styled them brilliantly to ensure that we got a great variety of images from each look. She has a really good eye for detail and assisted greatly in helping choose the style of lighting which worked best for the outfits we were shooting.

For the second part of the shoot, this time we had a more specific brief and M did a great job re making suggestions and inputting ideas as to how we could best achieve our goals. Prior to the shoot, she also took the time to look at the different clothing options and contributed much to the selection of the outfit and accessories.

Modelling, make-up and styling was once again up to the usual excellent standards throughout the whole shoot and this all contributed greatly to its success and the quality of images we produced.

Thanks again for another very productive shoot!

Booked a shoot with M on Tuesday which was very successful, M applied her own makeup for the shoot which was themed towards the concept I had in mind, the session was great fun & got great images from it, M was very professional and posed wonderfully. It was a complete pleasure & would highly recommend her, looking forward to shooting together in the future as it was great to organise ideas and discuss concepts prior to the studio session. THANK YOU 'M'

It's always a joy to have 'M' in for a group shoot. She gives 100% to get the images the togs were looking for and workes with and without direction. Communication before the shoot was 100%. If you are looking for a professional and talented model you would not got wrong in booking her. Recommended 100% and we know she will be back at the studio again.

This was my first shoot of 2018 and who better to ensure that I got fab results than the highly creative and very talented ‘M’.

A great selection of outfits coupled with excellent make-up and styling enabled me to get some fantastic images from each of the sets. For the last set, M’s suggestion of using darker lighting against the brick background was an inspired choice and enabled us to get two very different looks for the final outfit.

I can’t recommend M highly enough - I’ve shot with her several times since 2016 and she never fails to put in 100% which enables me to create a great set of images from each shoot.

In addition, her skills as a stylist, designer and creative are first rate and coupled with her make-up skills, means that she can always be relied upon to create a fabulous and varied look for each shoot.

Had another amazing shoot with ‘M’ it was a location shoot at a place called Newsham Park an old abandoned hospital / Orphan / mental institution built in about the 1850’s.

Found ‘M’ to be very cooperative to try all of my weird ideas, she even got inside side a washing machine for me so that I could get the image I was looking for.

We also did a dark gothic set in what was the morgue for the hospital I am loving editing those ones.

Fantastic personality, easy going, extremely fun to shoot with, bags of confidence, great posing abilities, lovely figure, attractive features.

‘M’ is a lovely person to work with.

Can without hesitation recommend ‘M’ to any level of photographer

Had another shoot with ‘M’

Arrived on time and ready to shoot with make-up already done.

It was location shoot weather was not the best.

As the weather is changing I think my next shoot with ‘M’ will be in a studio.

We had our first (of which is hopefully going to be many!) shoots with M today

It was a test shoot for a London Millinery Designer

M arrived early, with m/up and hair exactly as we'd asked. Within 5 minutes everyone at the shoot felt as though they'd known M for ages. Great personality, punctual, prepared and great fun to work with.... not to mention she nailed every shot!

We highly recommend M to anyone wanting a professional model who delivers and is on point from the first minute

Until the next time
