This was a real creative collaboration and a 100% recommendation from me!

It was my first shoot with Sandra, and I definitely hope it’s not going to be the last one.

I contacted her in response to a CC she had put out because needed some new shots for her port. She had outfits and props ready, and a very clear mood-board too.

Although she knew exactly what she wanted, she was more than happy to experiment. This allowed me to get some shots for my port too and I thought that was important in terms of collaboration.

I think we worked together really well so that I felt free to suggest an input to her initial ideas. Together we created images that we’re both happy with, and that's the important thing!

I think I was lucky to find Sandra. Apart from her great professionalism and seriousness in creating images, I appreciated her creativity and wicked sense of humour.

I never had a dull moment during the shot, on the contrary, I think we both had quite some fun in finding the best poses, expressions, moods, backgrounds or foregrounds for each shot.

Thank you so much for working with me Sandra!

Sandra and I had been planning to do a shot together for quite a while and finally we managed to find a date convenient for both.

Her communications are fantastic before and during the shot, she sends tons of ideas on Pinterest and the possibilities with her are endless.

It was a great session with her.

Our fourth shoot was a week long shoot on the Canarian island of Fuerteventura. This was an amazing adventure and resulted in some very special images which were very unusual if not unique, including a shoot with a pair of octopuses and a band of inquisitive squirrels! Despite the weather not being as good as we had hoped for for half the week we managed to work together on a multitude of ideas. As I have said previously, Sandra is an amazing model, with some great poses and ideas and if you ever get the chance to work with this fiery Spaniard then you will not regret it. Highest recommendation 5* A+++++

Had a third shoot with Sandra and again it was an excellent day, shooting some body projection images, studio images with flowers and ending up shooting in the shower. Sandra is an awesome model and I feel extremely lucky to have worked with her three times. She puts an enormous amount of effort into her shoots, as you can see by the results. Highly recommended!

Recently had my second shoot with the amazingly creative and talented model Sandra Blu. I thought the first shoot was exceptional but the second one was mind-blowingly awesome. We'd nominally booked for 3 hours at my home studio but ended up shooting 6-7 hours, which still wasn't enough! The ideas just kept bouncing off one another and the results were excellent. I'm happy say I have many hours of wonderful editing in front of me, which will be a sheer pleasure and delight to do! Really hope to work with Sandra again in the not too distant future. Highest recommendation posible.

Had an urban shoot around the Paddington area today with the delightful Sandra. What a lovely woman and dynamic model! I love the spontaneity she brings to her never ending variety of poses. It is very refreshing to work with someone so vibrant and positive ... loved every minute! Pre shoot comms were excellent and we both managed to get to the pre-assigned meet up point at roughly the same time! Sandra knew exactly what she wanted from the shoot and where she wanted to do the shoot, which was perfect for me as I was unfamiliar with the area. All in all a fabulous day and I sincerely hope I get the opportunity to work with her again in the not too distant future. Goes without saying .... very highly recommended!!

I had my first urban location shoot with Sandra last week, and what a pleasure it was! It was a great adventure with even a minor "encounter" with security by Exchange Square.

Sandra knew exactly what she wanted and needed very little direction, but was very happy to work with my suggestions too. Her posing is dynamic and spontaneous, and she had no issues with sitting down on the pavement in a black dress and pearls!

A great shoot with a fabulous model and I hope I have the opportunity to work with her again! If you get a chance to work with her, take it! You won't regret it!

Not quite sure I can add anything different to these references. I wholeheartedly agree with everything said. Refreshing to have a model be so forthright about the images she wanted to achieve. Great communications , kept me updated about her travel plans to me. We had a wonderful half an hour chat over coffee before we started, so when the lights were turned on we were both ready. Doesn't need to be directed. A few great props she used to perfection. Great personality made this an awesome shoot. Highly recommended.

Wow!........what an incredible shoot I had with Sandra. Bundles of energy and full of enthusiasm - a joy to work with. Great pre-shoot comms meant that we were soon shooting some fantastic images and letting loose creatively. An absolute pleasure to work with - if you're lucky enough to have the opportunity! Wonderful...just wonderful!

Just finished photoshoot with Sandra. Well I think we talked more than photographed :-). Sandra had an idea which we discussed before the photoshoot. Picked location was also good. Cannot wait to get home and look at the images on big screen. Really enjoyed day with Sandra. She is full of ideas which is fantastic. We took some great images and had a nice chat.

Simon Mark Smith

Sandra was very communicative from the outset, very friendly and her whole approach was very much that of working within a team. The same was true within the session in which she brought lots of fantastic ideas and props to the session. We had a great time working together and got some shots I'm very proud of (although really it's Sandra who should get the credit, they were mainly her ideas.) If you're lucky enough to get to work with Sandra it's worth seeing what she is willing to bring to the table, ideas wise, you'll be glad you did.

As for all the other things to consider, she was prompt, trustworthy, great at posing, looks great, was very helpful, friendly and most importantly, collaborative. Highly recommended.

My second shoot with Sandra and it was every bit as fun as the first.

Sandra is an absolute delight to work with. Obviously she is a beautiful woman, but she is also a great model. She is very chilled and easy to work with but also determined to get results and make the most from the shoot. Sandra is also happy experimenting and trying to push ideas which was refreshing and a lot of fun.

I love the results we got working together and recommend Sandra 100% (y)

Sandra was actually my first PP shoot on here and it was a pleasure working with her. Sandra's pre shoot communication was excellent and she really got on board with creative ideas and vision for the shoot .

Sandra turned up in good time and suggested meeting for coffee first to break the ice and get to know each other which really helped settle my nerves!

Sandra is very passionate about what she does and is good company and I would happily recommend her to all !

Sam van Isaacson

Sandra is a artistic and expressive model. We had a good pre-shoot chat. This was an experimental shoot and Sandra was a delight to work with taking excellent direction and adding her own ideas into the shoot too.

The results were great and would definitely recommend Sandra to any photographers - if you get the chance !

Where do I start with this amazing woman and brilliant model????

Sandra was a pleasure to work with right from initial contact all the way through to post shoot comms. She is such a creative person and really inspired me with her ideas and with her openness to suggestions.

I was really nervous when the shoot came around as I have a lot of admiration for Sandra who is not only a great model, but also a great photographer, so I felt the pressure was on a bit. But in fact Sandra was very down to earth, easy going and a total pleasure to work with.

Planning for the shoot was spot on. We knew what we were shooting, which locations would work best and the styles we were going for. We managed to go through the ideas we wanted to do, but there is so much more I would like to do with Sandra.

Sandra gets a huge recommendation from me. I genuinely am so pleased I got to work with her and I LOVE the images we got. I just hope I can persuade her now to come back for more.....

I have just had one of my best shoots ever!

Don't contact Sandra just because she like to shoot TFP, contract Sandra because she is a bloody great model, great fun to work with, intelligent and articulate, is talented both sides of the camera AND a really lovely person.

So easy to chat to, laid back, interested in the process and the outcome, great at posing with direction, great at posing without direction, a performer, great dress sense, great sense of humour, chatty, interested, interesting - YES I would recommend Sandra and YES one day would love to collaborate again with her.

We had the real pleasure of having a photoshoot with Sandra Saturday.

Everything went extremely well, on what was a very disappointing day weather wise for what was to be a outside shoot, but between us all we managed most of what Sandra needed and made the most of the time we had in the studio instead . Also communications before where excellent from Sandra as well, with a mix of messages & phone calls to make sure we didn’t waste too much time on the day.

During the shoot she was very relaxed, happy, funny and at ease with the camera. This made the shoot one of my best & was fun & very enjoyable, as the time flew by all to quickly.

She is confident, very easy going, bubbly, and above all a extremely professional.

Very very highly recommended.

Thanks for a great shoot.

Paul.

Sandra and me today had our shooting. Long planned with a lot of ideas on pre-coms.

We covered all what we had planned and more.

What a Model, prepared, focused and with a great attitude. And a stunning figure, versatile, she bring with her "a suitcase" of fun.

We've got very incredible and stunning images. I'm expecting a lot of work from my side to select pictures.

I'm glad we worked together I've really enjoyed. I hope we can work again in future.

thank you Sandra

:)

Sandra maybe mainly a hobbyist model, however she has a very professional attitude. Well organised & fun to work with & I was really happy with the results. Definately on my "want to work with again" list.

I had a shoot with Sandra who i literally managed to organise and book a shoot less than 24 hours before the actual shoot took place due to a late cancelation from another model i was going to work with.

This was a blessing in disguise as Sandra came in and we simply blew it away and created a lot of magical images in the forest and around a lake.

Sandra is very energetic and fully of ideas and is not afraid to cross boundaries to get the shot done. It was such a joy working with her and would love to team up with her again!
