Another great photoshoot with the superb Tess.

This time working through a theme loosely based on the Joker. Tess has surperb ability at portraying many different emotions and also poses extremely well. She just seems to get what you require her to do and gets on with it. Also has a great personality and works hard to achieve a great result. Always an enjoying photoshoot with her.

Tess comes highly recommended and will not disappoint.

We planned this last year, but the weather didn't co-operate. The theme was christmas lights in one of the local seaside towns.

As always Tess was bang on with the styling to match my mood board, looking fabulous in the outfits she chose against the bright lights.

The final outfit was a revealing coat and lingerie, which despite the cold she posed in with us both checking for passers by.

A great way to finish 2021 and already booked the first shoot in 2022. Long may we collaborate, as she brings more to the shoot than just look, it's a real team effort.

Yet again, I had an absolutely fantabulous shoot with Tess.

This time working in Bath, we made the most out of the autumnal backdrop around multiple locations.

We even had time to work with Candice (Candi Liquor) for a short time. She took the lead rally wel, and we got some amazing I ages out of the afternoon.

Please work with Tess, she is an absolute star in front of the camera!

Tess responded almost immediately to my Casting Call for an Autumn-Themed photoshoot. She was passing the area and the location afforded her the opportunity to model for me en-route. Her pre-shoot communication was beyond reproach, and she turned up on time, prepared and with an excellent attitude. It was bitter-cold but Tess cracked on like a trooper, often prompting for a change of wardrobe, and kept me on my toes with a variety of different looks and poses. I couldn't recommend her enough for either a beginner or a well-established photographer; as in either case you will get the results you are after.

A fun seaside shoot with Tess around an old harbour. I've shot several times with Tess, an we always have a great shoot.

She is relaxing to work with, makes things easy. We managed to cover several different looks from sea defences to beach huts, with three changes of outfit.

We discussed some future shoots, plus I'm booked for an urban walkabout.

Always a pleasure to work with, Tess is highly recommended.

Sorry for the delay in the reference

Had a great first shoot with Tess at the Lampworks in Birmingham

Excellent pre shoot comms and Tess came fully prepared for the ideas discussed

Tess was a joy to shoot with. Emotive, expressive, and great at posing, she is also collaborative and strives to get you the image you are after

On top of that, she is great fun to shoot with and a bundle of positive energy

Highly recommended and hopefully we will get to shoot together again in the future

Another fantastic shoot with Tess. We had discussed a few ideas and Tess styled the shoot wonderfully with her big bag of outfits. And even chose the best location.

A walk in the autumn leaves, stopping off to take lifestyle fashion shots and great portraits. Tess literally glows in front of the camera.

Tess never disappoints, gives everything to make the shots great and the shoot a totally fun event.

Had my first shoot with the awesome Tess today and what a shoot it was. Why have I not worked with this lady until now?

Tess had been on my radar for sometime and I’m so glad we finally made it happen. We arranged to meet at a beautiful beach location and despite it being the middle of October we were blessed with warm temperatures and sunshine.

Tess arrived on time and immediately the conversation and laughs flowed, it was more like working with a friend. Completely prepared, Tess had an array of outfits which were perfect for the location. Funny, bubbly and full of enthusiasm, the whole shoot was full of laughs and creativity. Despite Tess only modelling for about a year, she requires no direction and moves with fluidity and purpose. Posing comes naturally to Tess which makes my job so easy.

We shot a variety of sets from avant-garde fashion to implied nude and Tess smashed every set. We ended up by the shoreline shooting swimwear.

I genuinely enjoyed this shoot so much and working with Tess was an absolute pleasure.

Can’t wait to share what we created and very much hope to shoot with Tess again. Thank you Tess for your time.

Steve.

A duo shoot with the theme Nightmare Before Christmas with Tess and Sammie.

I got from ebay a striped jacket and leggings, but a bit worried about the makeup. Tess drove to the studio in full Jack makeup, and it looked great.

Tess worked great as part of a duo as if they were long term friends, even though they hadn't met before. A lot of fun and some great shots.

Yet another shoot with Tess. Arrangements went well, unlike the weather! We managed a good shoot between torrential rain showers.

The venue I chose was a long walk from the parking place, but that was no problem for Tess. We progressed through a range of outfits in a rather unusual location. Rain forced us to move to a coastal location were we continued until it rained again.

I was pleased with the images I shot, it's a learning experience coping with sub-optimal weather.

Tess was not fazed by the hike or the rain, and filled the interludes with some interesting conversation.

Once again, highly recommended.

This was my fourth shoot with Tess, as always pre shoot coms are excellent and Tess arrived at the location on time makeup and selection of outfits which were just perfect for our fashion shoot at sunset. Tess is great to work with, easy to get along and if anyone hasn't worked with her yet then, why not ? Highly recommend.

I've been chatting with Tess for a while, looking at opportunities for a shoot, which finally came together with a trip round the New Forest. Tess brought a selection of clothes to match my shoot theme and we played among the trees and streams, having fun and producing brilliant images. Tess is friendly, funny, witty and just great to be with. Combine that with excellent poses and expressions and I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending her. Thanks Tess!

First shoot in a while with Tess after her summer break.

As usual we discussed ideas and mood boards before deciding on shooting by/in my local river.

Fun shoot as always with Tess, she just slipped back into what she does best and produced great poses to fit the outfit and mood. Even the local fish joined in by nipping her feet in the river.

Pleased with the images and already booked our next shoot.

Here we go again - another epic shoot with Tess. This one had been planned and cancelled, planned and cancelled, but today was the day and it all came together. The weather, the team and the location. A*'s for everyone. Video work, drone work and photography.....everything about Tess is professional and witty and she always brings 100% to the shoot. This was no doubt more challenging with video work and drone work but she delivered by the bucket load......you can read all of the references on here but they are just black and white words - you really need to work with her in person to see just how awesome she is......so what ya all waiting for......:)

I shot with Tess last week and she picked up loads of Brownie points just by driving so far to my holiday location.

Tess was great on the shoot too. She embodied my ideas and also gave some really valuable creative input to the posing in quite a difficult environment. More kudos Tess emmersed herself in freezing rock pools without the hint of complaint.

Tess was fun to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending this dedidicated model.

Thanks Tess :)

ps good pre-coms too :)

Been a long time since ive shot with Tess and was a worth while wait.

such a creative and fun young lady who puts her all into her shoots even if she has a cold.

she pushed me to achieve lots of images that i havent done before and knows what really looks good in a image. its great that she knows what i want to get out of shoots and makes it happen.

tess is such a free poser when you let her get into her chracter let her stay in it as the poses just keep coming. she is never still long and can pose at a fair rate once in the zone or mood.

she is such a wonderful model and knows about lighting and can help with ideas to make the picture better. what about if we. which for me is a huge bonus as 2 minds are better than one.

Pre comms is brill as well as her home work on what will work and to get into the mind of me lol! she knew what i wanted and how to push me to be better.

she is definatly a top model you need to work with. definatly a unicorn 5++* model

Tess and Cindafckinrella were doing a studio day at Art Asylum Reloaded. I umm'd and ahh'd about booking a couple of hours as I wasn't sure I had an idea I wanted to shoot. Then I got an idea. Then I got in touch with the two of them...and they liked it. Then I shot it...Superb

Both girls were fabulous but here I'll concentrate on Tess.

Tess was totally engaged with the ideas I had and put 110% into every shot. She does everything brilliantly down to the smallest detail. Poses perfectly, hair and make-up were perfect, amazing facial expressions to fit the poses and just so easy to work with. I cannot recommend her enough.

The shoot with Tess was pretty much 6 months in the making. Down to the pandemic and various lockdowns we had to keep delaying the shoot. However the wait was well worth it, despite the weather changing the plans at the last minute and a broken down coach nearly stopping the shoot we moved into the studio for what turned into an amazing couple of hours. Tess arrived with bundles of energy and some amazing look ideas, this combined with a new to me lighting set up and a natural light session we captured some great images. Highly recommended from me and will happily book another shoot if she heads back this way for another tour.

Thanks a lot

High energy, great look and full of confidence. Perfect *PERFECT* pre-comms. Tess got in touch with me a little while back. After some brief exchanges and I shot with her as she was touring my area. Personally feel she's set the bar quite high in terms of people I want to work with. A model who seems to really enjoy what she does. While Tess hasn't been shooting long (her words), her confidence and work ethic really makes her stand out. A model who makes shoots easy both off-camera in pre-comms and in-person during a shoot. Would love to shoot her in a studio next time around. I will definitely look to make myself available. Highly Recommended.

Can't recommend Tess highly enough. Lovely woman, amazing shapes, and just kept on wanting to create. Very happy with the shoot and I hope she is too.
