Really great model to work with! super fun and chilled!

Just had my second shoot with Ria, who maintained the same excellent standards that she showed when we first worked together. She is focussed, professional but friendly, and poses superbly with and without direction. Her outfits and make-up skills produced several different personas over two days, from classy elegance to sultry Latin American – lots of different models in one stunning package.

As an occasional hobbyist photographer, my expectations sometimes outpace my skills. Ria was patient and constructive when my plans didn't work out, and when they did, her own aspiration for perfection meant we got the best possible results. She also makes a considerate and entertaining guest.

Highly recommended, and I'm looking forward to working with her again sometime.

I always love working with Ria, she's such a beautiful natural model and you can't help but get some excellent images. She's relaxed, confident and fun to work with, full of enthusiasm and takes her modelling seriously, working hard to get the best out of each photo. She's also knowledgeable when it comes to lighting so knows the best angles and poses to suit the situation. All round lovely girl. Communications are always spot on and she does her own hair and make up to a professional standard. I'm already looking forward to our next shoot. Thanks Ria

I first shot Ria last September in my home studio in Bournemouth.

That day I met an awesome model with a wonderful personality so when she told me she was coming to Bournemouth again I booked her for the entire day.

I'm often told I need to get out more 😁 so this was an ideal opportunity to do a location shoot.

We started early to avoid the traffic and crowds and went to Durdle Door, tyneham village and Corfe Castle.

After capturing some great images in tyneham village we stopped for a lovely bit of lunch at the Castle Inn before heading to Corfe Castle.

I wanted to find a location with the castle in the background. We started taking a few images next to an uninspiring tree that looked like it had given up its quest for life before the castle was even erected when Ria spotted some horses in the other field.

The horses were so relaxed in her company and she posed with such Elegance and natural beauty that the images just came to life.

I had such a fun day working with Ria again and I would highly recommend her to absolutely anybody and you would be guaranteed to come away with some great images.

Thank you Ria, I look forward to working with you again soon 😁

What can I add after 187 positive references accept number 188. Ria is Fantastic.

She is very professional, great comms and certainly very knowledgeable about her part of London. She's very friendly, chatty in a good way, very patient ( put up with me for 3 hours) and comes very highly recommended.

I was a second photographer on shoot day. I found Ria to be full of interesting and intricate poses. I usually have creative shoots planned and with this one not being highly creative she certainly helped bring it to life. She is super talented and I must say very good with her own direction. It was refreshing for me as a professional to not have to pose the model. She really does have a way of knowing what you are looking for and nailing it!

Her mannerism were impeccable and she makes for a good conversation about lighting, art and composition. I would love to nook her again for a bridal shoot and an animal shoot!

Would love to practice my portraiture on your pearlescent luminescent skin again!!!!!

all the best Jasmin @Vanillanaires

It was a real pleasure to meet Ria for our first, informal shoot. As soon as I met her from the train I knew it was going to be one I would remember for a long time. She is strikingly beautiful, poised, articulate and confident and arrived ready to shoot. Ria is truly the perfect model; she has an instinctive understanding of what the photographer wants to achieve and the most amazing makeup skills to give precisely the look that you want. She's totally professional and can absolutely nail any position or nuance of expression that you want. A unique look and a great personality so I totally recommend her to photographers of all abilities - thanks Ria and I can't wait for the next time.

Finally I got to shoot with Ria after a few false starts due to work commitments and the weather etc but it was well worth the wait. Ria looked fabulous and really suited the theme of the shoot. Throughout the shoot Ria posed effortlessly and was very patient while I setup things up and the end of the day I had a great set of shots that I was really pleased with. Thank you Ria for an excellent rewarding shoot and I certainly recommend to you to others.

The weather really couldn't make it's mind up. Hail one minute, then sunshine but always a strong, harsh, cold wind. But Ria made sure I had some great pictures from the shoot. I really appreciate her spirit and commitment. And good humour. It was a very relaxed shoot. Looking forward to the next the shoot that we have already started planning.

I enjoyed a very pleasant and productive shoot with Ria in March 2019.

As can be seen in her portfolio she is extremely photogenic and has a unique look. She is also professional, talented, friendly, enthusiastic and very well informed about photography and lighting. All of which was a great benefit to my portfolio.

If there was a downside to my shoot with Ria it was that it was far too short, so I look forward to working with her again.

Highly recommended. Thank you Ria.

Had my second shoot with Ria on a 1-2-1 tutorial with Dan Tidswell.

Ria is a pure joy to work with, she arrived on time, her hair and make up during the shoot were done to a high standard.

She went above and beyond to get the shots we were after and was happy to to keep at it despite some of the poses being uncomfortable.

Highly recommended and one of my favourites i have worked with and would happily work with her again.

I was lucky enough to work with Ria recently on a location shoot in London.

Very good comms before and after the shoot.

When I arrived her hair and make up looked fantastic and she had a good range of outfits with her.

Ria is intelligent, articulate and very easy to work with, she poses easily and is happy taking the lead or direction.

Highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again.

A short sentence to sum up this wonderful lady, funny, smart & devastatingly gorgeous.

On a blustery day in February we embarked on Street fashion shoot I couldn't ask for a more patient & professional model than Ria, even with my complete lack of direction!!

Nonetheless we achieved some great looks under quite difficult conditions.

I really enjoyed my first shoot with the Ria & looking forward to working with her again in the near future.

Very, very highly recommended

Well what can I say ? We had our first shoot last Sunday. Ria is a charming, personable, and beautiful young lady.

Also a very professional model. We had a very free form, mainly poolside photo shoot. Covering bridal fashion, natural light portraiture, and a very sixty's themed poolside strange fashion set, in a black and white bikini, leather jacket and boots!

Fantastic by name and fantastic by nature. 100% recommended.

Very much looking forward to our next shoot.

Thank you Ria. Martin x

I shot with Ria recently at my studio for the first time, and had a blast.

Very intelligent, fun, & talented model. Pre shoot comms were great, and nothing was too much trouble. Ria works seemlessly, with or without direction, and I would have no problem recommending her whether you are a new or experienced photographer.

Hope to shoot with her again soon :)

I have had a superb shoot with Ria today. Make no mistake this is a model that is truly superb. She has a marvelous professional attitude toward her craft and shows immense attention to detail. She is highly focused on getting the best possible images. Ria also has a wonderful warm and friendly charisma about her. Shooting with her is indeed a great pleasure.

We had been planning a beauty shoot between us over a number of weeks and through superb comms we have managed to achieve stunning results. I have just downloaded some of the images from our shoot and I am already bowled over by the images prior to processing. Ria also applied her own make up for the shoot too. It was applied to an absolutely immaculate standard. A beauty shoot at a bargain price without compromise on quality.

I will be working with this lady again in the future, lovely to work with and lovely to look at. Ria is truly fantastic.

Thank you Ria for a superb day. Until the next time. Obviously highly recommended.

Warm, funny, professional. That's just an introduction to working with this awesome woman!

Ria agreed to help with me with a winter themed group shoot, though I suspect neither of us anticipated it would be quite as cold as it turned out! Yet despite the cold, Ria brought warmth, patience, professionalism and a huge side order of humour with her to really ensure the day was a huge success.

Despite the cold, Ria worked really hard to transform each set to ensure everyone got the images that they'd hoped for. To be so concerned that the weather might knacker our plans, I needn't have worried, Ria is an absolute pro! Comms were spot on too, with Ria arriving on time as promised in the perfect attire for the shoot...a thick winter coat! :)

Thanks so much for your patience, bravery and hard work in making our shoot such a success, really can't wait for you to join us again in the summer when it will be so much warmer!

Highly recommended!

Today meet with Ria, we have arranged to shoot before but fell threw, no ones fault. Good things come to those who wait. Had a great shoot at the winter lights exhibition, Canary Wharf. Throughly enjoyed the shoot, came away with some nice shots and had pleasant time with Ria, hopefully first shoot of many. Highly recommended.

Barry Harrington

I met Ria at Canary Wharf for a 2 hour winter lights shoot,Ria is a very attractive and friendly young lady who arrived on time and well wrapped up for the cold weather.I had an enjoyable couple of hours with her and wouldn't hesitate working with her again on another project.

Ria was - again - fantastic. She has a great deal of professional experience as a model and I was happy to take on board her suggestions for how to improve my lighting set up. The time passed very quickly because she is such fun to be around. I managed to achieve some great shots, largely due to her modelling skills. I would definitely recommend her for both amateurs and professionals alike. I'm sure we'll be shooting again in the near future.
