What can I say about Tess

She arrived early to a remote location with a great smile and drive to achieve some great images

Her comms prior to shoot was excellent

We had a fair walk in to the shoot and Tess was more than happy to walk the distance into the shoot

It was an early start 5am and involved getting into a lake which she did with great enthusiasm

Highly recommend Tess and wish her all the best with her modelling and hope to work with her again soon

Book this young lady she is great 😊

Had my first shoot with Tess today, and I was so impressed. Tess answered a casting call I put out, and her comms were among the best Ive seen. We arranged and booked the shoot with 20 minutes, done and dusted.

Tess understood fully the requirements of the shoot and arrived early, with just the right amount of outfits. After a short walk we arrived at the location and Tess was ready to go from the very first, and even at 6am was spot on for poses. Tess is patient even when shes getting very wet from very cold sea water.

I havent tested it yet, but Im pretty sure Tess will do anything to get the shot you want (short of endangering herself). She certainly did everything I asked with a smile and a laugh and even suggested some poses in the same sea water.

Tess is a very sociable, chatty person, but as soon as you bring the camera to your eye, shes right back on point. I really enjoyed being with Tess and we are already planning our 2nd and 3rd shoots.

100% recommend Tess, you will not be disappointed

My first studio shoot since lockdown and I could not have asked for a more stunning, creative and hard-working model.

Setting up the shoot was very straight-forward - Tess replied promptly and concisely to messages. We agreed to start in the New Forest, then move into the studio, including a variety of sets and genres from portrait to artistic nude.

Tess arrived early, with her makeup ready as agreed and with all the clothing changes I had asked her to bring ... and more :). Throughout the 5-hour shoot she was enthusiastic and committed, determined to do everything necessary to ensure I got the shot I was wanting. Nothing fazed her - from heading off, barefoot, across the brambles in search of the best place to make use of the shadows cast by the ferns (her idea!) to offering a cheery greeting to a dog-walker who appeared when she was mid-way through a change of clothing. I particularly appreciated her creative input, which added significantly to the success of the shoot and ensured that this was a truly collaborative shoot.

Tess poses imaginatively and elegantly, she also takes direction well. She looks great and is able to adapt her expression to suit the mood of the shot. She is a confident, independent young woman, with a clear idea of the image and style she wants to achieve in her modelling and I believe she will achieve it.

Thank you, Tess, for a most enjoyable shoot. I am delighted with the images we created and am looking forward to seeing them on our ports.

I am certainly recommending Tess to other photographers and, of course, shall be working with her again myself.

I had the pleasure of working with Tess for the third time when she modelled for an outdoor flash photography workshop I ran. As others have said, and I could not agree more, Tess poses naturally and was very patient and understanding with the four photographers that attended the workshop. I am definitely looking forward to the next two collaborative photoshoots we are planning. If you are looking for a model who is professional, poses very naturally and is comfortable in different, sometimes challenging, conditions then you should book Tess; you won't be disappointed.

Had an excellent lifestyle shoot today with Tess. Pre-shoot comms were good, and she was bang on time.

Tess poses naturally, I wouldn't have guessed she had only recently returned to modelling. Everything went well during the shoot in what became a rather crowded location. Tess knows the area and we were able to escape the crowds for the last part.

Tess brought a good selection of outfits including a big hat—I do like a hat for variety during a shoot.

She is fun to work with, and we are already planning some future shoots.

Highly recommended.

2nd shoot with Tess. This time in and around a river. As with our previous shoot, Tess is totally committed to getting the right shot, is full of enthusiasm and ideas, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thoroughly recommended

It was an absolute delight to meet and work with Tess for a test run ahead of an outdoor workshop she has kindly agreed to model for. Although the main purpose was to plan the workshop we shot some excellent images due to Tess's professionalism, understanding and not least her patience when the technical gremlins raised their heads !

In talking with Tess it is clear that she is a very creative person who will bring to any shoot a desire to 'get the shot'. We are already planning to our next shoot which will be a collaboration between model and photographer; sharing ideas and styles and combining fine art and fashion with a twist.

I would definitely recommend working with Tess, you won't be disappointed.

Wonderful shoot with Tess, who, on a windy cold day donned swimming costumes and without hesitation posed on a deserted beach (it was cold!) and plunged into the sea. Tess is a delight to shoot with and despite getting the shivers was enthusiastic, charming, wonderfully cheerful, posed with little direction, great company throughout and determined that we ‘get the shot.’

Easy to recommend – many, many thanks :-)

Our first shoot was both an absolute pleasure and highly productive. Tess clearly has a very creative mind and interest in achieving the best results from a shoot. She is full of ideas but also very happy to take direction as and when required. I’m delighted with the imagery that we produced together, would certainly recommend her to other photographers, and I hope to be shooting again with Tess within the month.

I've had the pleasure of shooting with Tess twice now. Turned up on time with great communication. Very fluid with poses and open to all my crazy ideas. There is never a dull moment with Tess about. 100% great model.
