Sandra had some ideas to shoot in a virtually empty Victorian apartment before it was due for refurbishment. It consisted of a bedsit with a bed and desk and an adjoining bathroom. Not much to work with but we made the most of the location and Sandra's ideas, and of course I chipped in with a few of my own.

I love working with Sandra! All our images end up with a wonderful surreal feel to them which is often quite unique and sometimes downright bizarre. We seem to thrive on these type of images and bounce ideas off one another as we go along, rarely sticking to the original ideas. This was no exception! I love it and can't wait to work with her again. I think I'm correct in saying this was the eighth time we have worked together, always on a TF basis and always sharing all the images. A great collaboration. The shoots seem to have developed a traditional ending of going to the pub for a beer and chips; a fitting end to the day! My turn to pay next time!

Thank you for your amazing twist on life Sandra, and so glad we have worked together so many times. May it continue for a long time yet. A true friend and of course, highly recommended!

I have the privilege to work with Sandra for the first time. It is difficult to write a reference to such a fantastic model.

The pose and the approach to modeling is unique.

I would recommend to everyone that wants great photography.

What can I say…. I’ve had Sandra on my radar for such a long time and finally had two hours of photographic pleasure with her in London. The energy, the passion, the creativity and fearlessness is awe inspiring… bring on the second shoot ASAP ©️gibson

Another great shoot with the amazing Sandra Blu! This time it was a film-noire night time shoot in and around the streets of Bloomsbury in London, using the street lights as the only illumination. In true Sandra Blu style she had checked out all the locations beforehand and knew exactly where she wanted to shoot. It was amazingly free of intrusion by other people and only the occassional passer by was seen, so was easy to work up to nude or semi-nude in the most public of places. As usual her posing was immaculate, well thought out and very stylish. The evening shot by very quickly but the results were amazing. Thank you so much for this and all our previous shoots. Can't wait to shoot again. And of course the highest recommendation possible!

I wanted to shoot with this amazingly beautiful women for a good few years but life and covid got in the way, So today I travelled to London to shoot fashion, Yes that’s right "fashion" Sandra makes an amazingly stunning fashion model and while I know it’s out her comfort zone she did really well. Loved her company and her elegance a really special lady. I am humbled she agreed to shoot with me. I highly recommend her and hopefully she will shoot with me again and maybe next time a different style. Thank you so much Sandra

Sandra was wonderful to work with, she was great to communicate with before the shoot to understand what I wanted. She was very patient and happy to try what I showed her during the photoshoot. I highly recommend Sandra as a model.

I had the very great pleasure of once again working with the amazing Sandra Blu. It had been a while ... much too long! This time we worked in her apartment in London on what is probably going to be recorded as the hottest day of the year. It was REALLY HOT! Shortly after meeting up we walked to her apartment and decided to go out for a coffee before starting. We left a large number of inflated white balloons ready for the shoot. However, on our return we found the room scattered with many pieces of those balloons that had burst due to the heat! There were a few left but the original plans went out of the window (to be tried again another day) and new plans were made. As Sandra and myself are very adaptable and creative when it comes to on the spot decision making we carried on regardless and had a fabulous shoot. I wasn't phased even one bit when the giant animal heads came out of the cupboard! Brilliant!

I adore working with Sandra, she's one of the most creative people I know, and can't wait to work with her again in the not too distant future.

Thanks for a great shoot Sandra and the beer and chips afterwards.

Of course very highly recommended!

Sandra responded to my casting for a sunset beach shoot...which we had to move once because the weather wouldn't play ball.

She travelled a long way and braved the colder-than-it-looks beach and water to cover a variety of looks. She's committed, creative, interesting and great fun. Thoroughly enjoyable shoot and i hope i'm able to provide some great images for her.

I look forward to working again with Sandra in the future.

Highly recommended :-) ;-) :-)

I responded to Sandra's casting last week and we went to Farringdon for an urban style shoot.

Communication before the shoot was perfect. She was punctual, friendly and really professional. The weather wasn't very good (awful light) but I think we got good pictures anyway.

Sandra is confortable in front of the camera and her posing is fantastic.

I hope we can work together again.

I absolutely recommend her.

I had a great TFP shoot with Sandra. She was on time and showed up with a bunch of different clothes to shoot in. Sandra was very friendly and easy to work with. She had excellent communication and knew what she wanted. She was open to shooting some photos I wanted to take as well. She is very confident in front of the camera. Although she claims she is only a "hobby model", she works just as hard as paid models. I recommend working with her.

I responded to a casting call from Sandra. Her casting was very clear and she have a good idea of what she wants with mood boards. Before the shoot we had good communication. Clearly she have good imagination and creative ideas.

She is very comfortable in front of camera and definitely not shy. Our shoot went as planned and it was a very enjoyable. She is highly recommended.

I worked with Lola twice before. This time was an emersion into the creative and crazy mind which was pure heaven. Daring, strident and fun Lola has a unique slant on the world which is infectious to those with a similar outlook. Good communication and creating understanding Lola works fast and know when the shot has been captured. I’m happy to let the shoot unfold and guide were needed. As before decision and an eye for detail in the choosing of images meant we shot processed and posted in a relatively short period of time. I would thoroughly recommend Lola though you should count yourself lucky if you get chosen. Thank you.

Yesterday, I had the sheer pleasure of working with the gorgeous, creative and extremely artistic Sandra.

After having glanced at her portfolio I was immensely eager to work with her and her casting idea of an outdoor shoot suited me to the tee. She is so easy to work with and made me feel completely comfortable. She is just brilliant with ideas and can go to uncommonly lengths to pose which helps to bring out all wild fantasies of a photographer to shoot their subjects :). She was great in giving inputs too and it was lot of fun to work with her. She wasn’t clockwatching at all and gave her complete attention and focus on the shoot. Time simply flew by and I managed to get some super shots!

Dear Sandra, It was an absolute pleasure to work together and spend a super afternoon-evening shooting with you. I look forward to see your next crazy idea! 😊x

I had the pleasure of working with Sandra for a second time. Excellent pre-shoot comms, well prepared with ideas mapped all out and ready for me. We had an essential coffee to discuss the finer details of what we were going to shoot and then we started creating. Sandra is very relaxed, knows what poses to make with confidence and style. Sandra knows her photographers and the styles they create, which makes my job easier as I know what she has in her mind. The time went too fast, but we had fun and made some great images. I can thoroughly recommend Sandra as a professional and creative model.

Had a wonderful autumn themed shoot in London with Sandra and had a great time! Sandra is great company, easy to work with and very professional. She poses effortlessly and has lots of ideas for shooting which made my job so much easier.

It was a true pleasure working with Sandra and I'd happily recommend her.

Thank you so much Sandra!

It took a few false starts for Sandra and I to get to work together, mainly through bad weather, but we made it! Sandra’s pre-comms and second to none and she’s even done the moodboard and recce’d the locations too. She’s smart, inventive, alternative, with a cultured head, full of ideas and influences.

If you are looking for a demure shrinking violet or girl-next-door, Sandra isn’t for you. However, if you are looking for a very confident model, who’s great at posing, knows her body, and can pose nude in central London (at night away from watchful eyes, I might add) without flinching, she’s the model for you.

We had fun from the start trying to work out if the weather was going to force another cancelled shoot, but it stopped, so we had a fun filled and very creative two hours of shooting. Sandra’s fun as a person and enjoyable to work with too, inventive, stylish and immaculately turned out. I could see that she could easily become a muse and a slight addition!

I would recommend Sandra without hesitation, but be prepared to put in the same amount of effort and you will create some wonderful images as we did. Thank you Sandra, I hope we get to work again together soon.

On a balmy summers day I found myself working with Sandra around the City of London.

Our plan was 'street-to-coffee' shop mixing up some fashion type street shots with some casual shots over coffee. Wanted to avoid the tourist traps but neither of us quite anticipated just how quiet the city would be. Those places that were open did not lend themselves to photography, nor did the high contrast light offered by the sun. Still, we found some great little spots to shoot and created a good number of different images.

A great person to spend an afternoon with, very confident in her posing - she barely stops when 'on set'.

Sandra comes full of energy and enthusiasm throughout the shoot. The only time she slowed down was over a much needed cold beer!

Hope to be able to shoot together again, highly recommended.

Thankyou.

I had the pleasure of working with Sandra a few days ago and can say that I was really impressed with her pre-shoot communications, her input of ideas to the shoot, and her willingness to go the extra mile for the shot.

This was a location shoot, and we were blessed with really nice weather, which is just as well as the final spot involved some pretty chilly water. Some of our planned locations were denied to us due to members of the public enjoying a picnic, or an unhappy farmer's wife complaining about our chosen parking spot, but Sandra took it all in her stride and we just moved on to the next location.

If you get the chance to work with Sandra I can recommend you take the opportunity.
