First shoot with Ria today. I can't recommend her enough, she is so much fun to be around. I don't know where the time went. I look forward to working with her again soon. X

I had another excellent shoot with Ria recently. This is the second time we have worked together and it was another great pleasure. We worked in a creative Avant garde look, this time working with Calleymua, also recommended.

Ria was highly professional as she was previously. We got some great results and I look forward to doing an excellent processing job to do the images the justice they deserve.

Thank you Ria, until the next time.

Another great shoot with Ria. This one Gypsy inspired and fabulous fun it was too. Great pre-coms, sorted location and fabulous attitude and posing throughout. Ria is a joy to work with, very professional and highly accomplished at her job (also does make-up to a very high standard too).

I have no reservations at all in recommending RIA, she's great.

Ria is probably one of the most professional models I met so far.

She booked me for one of Dan's workshop in Budapest and without her, the trip wouldn't have been the same. We were really lucky to have her there, she's been very helpful all along the trip and assists us with pretty much everything. It was so convenient to have someone local with us, it makes things so much easier.

She was constantly making sure everyone was happy with everything She just nailed it!

I am very grateful I've been selected for this trip, thank you so much Ria.

Beautiful model, great organiser, amazing person. Book her! xx

I recently partnered up with Ria to run a workshop in Budapest. All I can say is that none of it would have come together without her incredible dedication, local knowledge, outstanding modelling and detailed organisational skills. Honestly, I found myself relaxing (probably too much) when Ria got into her flow! Of all the people I've ever run workshop's with Ria has to be THE number one. Very very highly recommended.

I had another excellent shoot with Ria (my third) - this time attending a workshop in Budapest run by Dan Tidswell. Ria is not just someone who looks great in front of the camera but is also extremely easy to work with. She has lots of experience which helps enormously in finding the best places to shoot and the right shot.

I could not recommend Ria highly enough and hope for another opportunity to work together again soon. Thank you Ria!

Tried to book a shoot with Ria in June and failed. How glad I am. Just returned from a shoot in Budapest organised by Dan Tidswell where I had the privilege of working and shooting Ria as well as getting to know this beautiful lady! It was a total pleasure being in her company and I appreciated the fact that she wanted to make sure we got the best shots possible by checking and altering poses, re-working shots and adapting to the location and light. I was impressed with the care and time taken to prepare hair and make up so as to deliver that distinctive almost goddess image of hers. I also appreciated the positive manner in which she could offer advice and clearly knew what might work better in some situations.

Behind the camera Ria was an absolute trooper organising parts of the trip and handling practical issues concerning eating, drinking and being merry. The workshop was a great success and she helped create a team spirit, always on hand to help, and mindful of our goal to get the best out of the workshop. She is a wonderful person to work with and have on your side!

I whole heartedly recommend Ria and will look forward to further shoots.

My second shoot with Ria, this time at The Clock Tower.

Unlike the first this shoot had less of a formal plan, didn't want to approach with too many specific ideas as needed to get a feel for the shoot space.

Shot just a few sets in our time. Not rushing, simply refining what we had. Ria has a very keen eye and keen to deliver her best pose and expression.

Ria comes highly recommended, and I do hope to work together again .

My first shoot with Ria, comms were excellent beforehand and she arrived promptly with plenty of clothing options.

Ria has a great look which is quite unique and very beautiful. She knows her angles, poses fluidly and keeps herself engaged with the lens, it’s obvious that she has a wealth of experience which helped the shoot run smoothly. She is very easy to work with.

We managed to run through a fair number of sets and I’m looking forward to editing the photos.

Hopefully I’ll have an opportunity to work with her again in the future.

Coming back to shooting after a very long break and we could not do it in a better company. It was our first and hopefully not last shoot with Ria, who is a beautiful model and a great personality, too. Full of energy, easy going, open minded and just perfectly chatty, Ria is also creative and willing to an extra mile to get the best possible photo. It was a pleasure to work with her and cannot wait to process the images now.

Wholeheartedly recommended.

If you get the chance to work with Ria I'd recommend that you grab it!

Ria is a smart girl who knows how to create a great image and will help you to produce your best work - even if the weather doesn't want to play ball.

Ria is a friendly & fun person and I'd certainly like to recommend her to you.

Had another fab shoot with Ria, this time for a group event. The weather was absolutely naff, not what was planned for a summer themed Lavender shoot at all, however Ria brought warmth, friendliness and professionalism to ensure the day was a huge success.

The experience of the group varied, however Ria delivered and was supportive of the less experienced members of the group providing helpful suggestions, whilst receiving direction from the more experienced members with aplomb.

At the beginning of the day, I was worried that the weather might have the final say, however Ria well and truly saved the day for which I am completely grateful. Thanks for all of your hard work and patience Ria, really looking forward to working together again soon.

Very highly recommended! (Y)

After having taken a break from personal projects to concentrate on corporate work for two years, Ria was just the model to help me out of the creative rut I was in.

Then I was concerned all the technical aspects, she made me feel at ease as I didn't have to think about any poses or looks. It was as we had work numerous times before.

Highly recommend to any new photographers or pros that want a professional model that delivers great work and super nice to work with.

For our second shoot, I was already expecting Ria’s professionalism and modelling skill, which again was faultless throughout, as was her presence and style in front of the lens, which is self-evidence from many of her images.

This time we planned a beach shoot in Norfolk, which involved Ria in a lot of up-front effort to obtain and prepare costumes, modelling at hours ranging from 10pm to 5am, conditions ranging from hot to cold, damp and gritty, not to mention 6 hours’ driving. She took all this in her stride, worked hard for the shots planned and remained energetic and great company throughout.

There’s something theatrical in my shots of Ria, which is her not me, and I don’t seem to get with other models. She is definitely a favourite for fashion/non-nude work, and we will for sure shoot again. I highly recommend you do too.

Had my second shoot with Ria which was as pleasant as the first. Throughly enjoyed myself and thrilled with the results. Highly recommended. Hopefully not too long until next shoot with her.

Working with Ria is awesome, this was our 2nd photoshoot and hopefully not our last.

Ria demonstrates great range as a model, just look at her portfolio for proof of his. She's also a thoroughly nice person, easy to get along with and have a laugh with, but also a true professional.

This was a beach shoot which we'd planned well in advance. The greatest risk in planning this type of photoshoot far in advance........the weather!! It actually turned out sunny, but it was too windy and not particularly warm - despite this I think we achieved some great shots as we managed to plan the sets around the weather!

To re-iterate my last reference, I very highly recommend Ria to all. I look forward to working with her again soon on a 3rd photoshoot, and I hope there will be further opportunities to work together beyond that as well.

Ria is a beautiful model-very pleasant to work with a relaxed and natural manner. Her communication,punctuality, and professionalism were excellent and I would be very happy to work with her again and recommend her to others.

I was very excited to work with Ria Fantastic, as I knew that her natural beauty would compliment my design aesthetic perfectly! We chose photographer Thelema to shoot Ria in the cornfields and it all seemed so beautiful - like a dream!

Ria is a hard-working and inspirational young lady! She is very natural in front of the camera and confident about what works well.

I'm very confident that we got some amazing results. She's also very competent at doing her own make-up and was accommodating to myself and the hair-dresser, going with the looks that we had chosen for her! Thanks for coming to Kent and putting the bridal team together Ria! x

Thelema

I finally got to shoot with Ria earlier this week, we have been discussing working together for some time and I am so delighted we finally did. Pre shoot coms were very organised, leaving nothing to chance, Ria even managed to organise a designer and hair stylist for the occasion which elevated our shoot to a whole new level. On the day of the shoot I thought Ria was incredibly beautiful, gracefully poised, engaging and bubbling with enthusiasm, what more could you want in a model!

Ria brought so much to this shoot and even offered ideas on shots, angles and lighting

I am thrilled with the photos and video and can’t wait to share them.

Of course I am going to recommend working with Ria, She’s Fantastic!

I was a hair stylist on a recent shoot with ria.

She was so easy to work with. She did her own make up and it looked fab. She was able to two different looks both very natural.

Her hair is AMAZING and made my job easy. It's a hair stylists dream it thick, healthy and long it was perfect for the big full styles we wanted to create.

Thank you ria I hope to work with your hair again xx
