References for Toulouki Orsini

On Tuesday the 5th of November I was very lucky to work with Cheryl on the Bohemian Garden themed shoot Cheryl had created at the Hacienda in London !

Even though the shooting arrangements were made very last minute and off site I felt like leaving a reference on here :)

Cheryl transformed Hacienda to a Bohemian Dreamland !!!

The idea was to capture 7 models in boho style/Annie Leibovitz inspired group shoot plus take self portraits too and wow ! The shoot was so much fun, productive and creative !

Cheryl is passionate about art and photography and that shows on the final results , just pure magic !!!

I left from the studio inspired and probably with the biggest smile on my face !

If you get the chance to work with this phenomenal artist grab it with both hands !!!

Thank you very much for everything ♥

Yet another amazing retouching job! This time photos for my 2020 calendar and wow what an amazing job done. Toulouki is amazing at what she does and I am pleased to say with her quickness we managed to get the calendar shot retouched and to print in 5 days!

Great price, fast turnaround and was always in touch making sure everything was to my liking and nothing was too much to ask.

Will be using again for sure and 100% highly recommend to all!

Wow! What an amazing woman! Cheryl happened in London and I snapped up the opportunity to be shot by her last-minute. Everything from pre-comms to the shoot was smooth and perfect. She was so incredibly organised - her moodboard also consisted of a full blown, play-by-play schedule and outfit/ hair/ makeup description - the most organised moodboard ever! It was amazing :)

The plan was street fashion shots on the streets of East London for possible publication - and that's exactly what we did! Cheryl arranged for the lovely HMUA Gem to join us and for us to get ready at the Hacienda studio; everything was thought of. When we made it to the streets, perfectly styled in th outfits Cheryl had picked out, and she was so wonderfully considerate of the biting cold her models were experiencing in them... But it was all worth it when I got to look at the back of the camera, because the shots were stunning - I cannot wait to see them after they have been through Cheryl's post-processing magic!

Cheryl herself is an amazing, bubbly, creative person whose work (both as a photographer and a model) speaks for itself. She is absolutely brilliant and I highly recommend her.

I am so blessed to have gotten to work with Cheryl! I hope to do so again, maybe next time in a duo :O

Thank you for inviting me to work with you, you legend!

Just out of a great workshop from these 2. Relaxed but informative session. Friendly, fun and creative. The Restricted number of togs was appreciated greatly making for loads of sets and image operrunities. Diverse range of lighting and great money saving ideas. I look forward to another workshop in the future.

I worked with the SENSATIONAL Toulouki again recently on a fairly short notice trip and had such a great shoot!! What was originally planned to be one shoot turned into two shoots spread over three days!!

Toulouki had got in touch with me to see if I was interested in modelling for a Video tutorial she had booked with "Arrow Photography London" (Mike) at the fantastic "The Little Chelsea Gallery Studio" in Eastbourne. I had been wanting to do more video work for a while, also to gain some acting experience- so snapped up the chance! Although I had worked with Toulouki many times befoe, it was my first time working with Mike and I was a little nervous- but we all immediately struck up a rapport and I absolutely loved working together!

We did a mixture of stills and video over the course of the day- and I dont know who was more nervous (myself or Toulouki!) but we rocked it! As two relative beginners to video, I was really happy with the results.

Toulouki also created the most stunning stills from the shoot and her editing and retouching skills are beautiful- If you ever need a routocher have a look at her beautiful retouching page here on Purpleport under; "Toulouki Orsini Retouching".

On top of this Toulouki was extremely ill at the end of our first scheduled day working together (It was originally meant to be one days shoot!) yet she was determined to get through the shoot- whilst feeling close to collapsing! We rushed off to A&E after the shoot and I decided to stay another couple of days. Thankfully all was OK- and we shot for a few hours again on the third day before I went home- a serious of 60s fashion shots using Toulouki's fab styling skills and wardrobe- and high end beauty.

It was such a fun weekend! Full of highs and lows- but all ended well and certainly very memorable! :) The results were absolutely stunning and Toulouki was really kind to share with me the edits within hours after the shoot!! Such a quick turn around!

A true pro, she is amazing- as a model, photographer/videgrapher and retoucher - and I really look forward to seeing what other work she can produce in the future.

Super highly reoommended! Helen x

I met with Toulouki recently to take part in a street photoshoot in Brick Lane. She was at the location dead on time and ready to go. This was my first ever planned shoot using purpleport so i was rather nervous to begin with but Toulouki quickly set my mind at ease with her bubbly very friendly humerous personality. She and i had a laugh whilst walking around for a couple hours and she exceeded my expectations on how good i thought the pictures would come out. Talented photographer and all around lovely person, definately recommended!

Ayla

One of the most talented photographers Ive ever worked with. Every single image she produces I absolutely adore.

This woman is a big deal and I feel privileged I was lucky enough to shoot with her, not once but three times!

Highly recommended

I got to have a mini shoot with this truly lovely individual whom I adore, she has everything, talent, knowledge and that amazing personality that is addictive!

That manner with the camera and her editing skills are to die for, as gorgeous as herself and I cannot recommend this lush human more xx

I worked with Toulouki for a publication last year in a gorgeous animal sanctuary and she is SO much fun. Really laid back and chatty but gets absolutely sensational photographs. She has a fantastic sense of style, set design, and her editing is perfect

This lady is one who should be on your want to work with list ASAP!

Well, I have wanted to work with Toulouki for over a year now! I can pinpoint that exact time as I know the set of images that immediatley grabbed my attention and made me want to get in front of her camera lens! I am actually very pleased it took us so long to get a shoot together because it meant that I had much more time to get really good for her haha!

When she pitched her idea I was over the moon as she sent me the exact image that originally introduced me to her work as a bit of inspiration for our shoot! we also ended up getting a wonderful MUA (Gemma huh) which meant that our shoot really developed into something wonderful and we did a mix of beauty and fashion - two genres I am not very practiced in!

Toulouki took me out of my comfort zone in many ways, and I am SO GRATEFUL she did as I learned a huge amount and I think the images are beautiful! If there was anyone I would really want to push myself for it's Toulouki, because not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, she is a lovely person! It was clear on the shoot just how much she was putting in to it and I wanted to give just as much! IT was a true collaboration and I am so proud of what we created!

Toulouki has a wonderful eye and her creativity is inspiring! I love her ideas! I love her enthusiasm! I love her consideration for everyone else! She always made sure I and our MUA were happy on all aspects! I was She gave me confidence throughout the shoot and she inspired me to be better and better!

Not to mention her wonderful, infectious personality and great smoothie making skills! - Anyone is LUCKY to work with this fabulous photographer!! COULDN'T RECOMMEND HER MORE!!!

Had an awesome shoot with Toulouki yesterday! Such fab ideas and on the spot creativity not to mention so much fun! The shots speak for themselves! :)

Toulouki is a brilliant photographer to work with...

I'm not just talking about the images she creates, I think it kind of goes without saying that she is a creative and produces fantastic shots. What I mean by brilliant photographer' is that she understands how to work with a model to get the best out of that person. She made sure the lighting was right, she made sure all of the details of the shots worked such as, making sure the outfit looked right, made sure my make-up looked good (and, it wasn't smudging down my face :) ) and if the poses I did were suited to the ideas etc- Also, she is passionate and positive person to be around. All of these details gave me confidence and trust in her abilities as a photographer/creative director so, I wanted to give her the best performance I could.

She is a wonderful person, she talks you through her ideas so, you have a better understanding of them and of course, she is such a fun person to work with!

Hell yeah- If I do get the opportunity, I would love to work with her again !

I can not recommend this photographer highly enough!

I love Toulouki, simple as that.

She was the photographer on a body paint shoot with ayla.

Toulouki has to be one of my favourite photographers for several reasons.

Solid knowledge of lighting, my bright eyes and dark skin pose challenges for many but She was up to that challenge as well as lighting up me and Ayla. Considering that the body paint and backdrops were consistently changing she had to be on her toes.

Her focus is the comfort of the model or models so Toulouki will constantly check in to make sure the model is happy and things flow naturally which breeds a great shoot. This made by of us feel relaxed and happy.

Very easy to get along with helps everyone in involved. Funny, chatty, happy.

Gives great direction but is also open to hearing your ideas as a model and takes it into consideration.

Hopefully we will work together again. Top woman!

I went to stay with this beautiful photographer and finally got to work her!!

She has a stunning set up which is conceptually epic and has use of such wonderful locations....this amazing individual is fun and spontaneous, making me instantly relaxed with that mesmerising personality of hers & she truly rocked her camera, capturing movement & scenes so beautifully!

Toulouki is an absolutely epic photographer who's main concern is for the model and not only does she have an absolutely mind blowing way with the camera, her editing skills are by far one of the best I've seen!!

Love this human so much - if you get the chance to work with her, do it...can't recommend this beauty enough guys :)

2nd shoot with Toulouki, as mad as the first one! As always, we had a preconception of what we wanted to do, and it turned into more! As I was staying in a rather nice hotel, we got up to lots of lingerie shenanigans in the room as well as in the corridors. As well as being fun to work with, she takes amazing photos and I am completely in love with the edits she has done.

110% recommend and I would love to shoot with Toulouki again!

Thank you again

Shannie :)

Wow, what an experience! After popping in just for a cuppa while Toulouki was in Devon, next thing I knew we were organising a full on fashion editorial with Simon Fairclough and Lady C! Toulouki is an amazing photographer and retoucher, I am so pleased that I got the chance to work with her on this last minute jolly! Totally talented, I highly recommend Toulouki to ANYONE who wants stunning high fashion photos on their portfolio.

Can't wait until the next time we meet!

Shannie :)

I ADORE this womans work! So beautiful and she edits to such a high standard!!! As soon as I saw Beaverhausens work I just knew I had to shoot with her. Lucky for me we manged to find a date that suited and she was really understanding when I had to rearrange the 1st time.

We had a rough idea of what we wanted to achieve and she excelled all my expectations. She is so sweet, caring, talented, has an eye for style and creative imagery and is just a total babe. She directed me really well and she just flows so well. I could happily shoot with her every week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She gets my highest recommendations and is a bad ass photographer. If you get the chance to shoot, she will make you look INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok I have to stop now but you get my point.

Shoot with Beaverhausen and you will not be disappointed!

Elle Beth

Toulouki, wow amazing. Really fun shoot. great ideas, communication, before and after the shoot, the photos in the back of the camera just look stunning.

If you get a chance to shoot with this talent you must take it.

Highly Recommended!

We shot some portrait and fashion shots, something my port has been desperate for for ages as well as doing some beautiful gypsy princess work! This woman is so talented, funny and so easy to get along with! If you get the chance, work with her!!!!

So highly recommended!
