Tryst, and the experience of collaborating with Tryst, was one of the most interesting shoots I've ever shared with a model.

Unbenknownst to both of us at the outset, we really came at it from opposite ends of the spectrum - I felt like the edgy Prince of Darkness to Tryst's warmth and sensual colour; the antimatter to Tryst's matter. We started off not feeling like we were on the same page, but we emerged victorious thanks to some healthy, open and emotionally safe and honest discussions that helped us align. We harnessed the fireworks for our mutual benefit.

We definitely taught each other a lot about ourselves that we had not seen before, and I think there's some amazing next-level creativity that we can find with the meeting of both of our worldviews rather than when they clash against each other. I left the shoot a different photographer to when I started it, and I'm grateful for that and full of admiration for Tryst's powerful modelling talent and personality.

It would be a waste to not collaborate again - and I loved the 170 or so images that we co-selected as faves from this shoot. I hope that you all love the output as much as I do.

I have just had the great pleasure of shooting with a very talented model that is Tryst. Before the shoot her communications were second to none and the whole shoot was discussed from start to finish, including props that I was bring to the shoot.

On arrival at her neat little cottage with its beautiful natural light at certain times of the day. I was warmly welcomed by a model who was ready to set to work from the outset, and once I had set up my gear she was away posing without hesitation, in fact throughout the whole 3 hour shoot Tryst needed no direction, just the occasional request to hold a certain pose so that a variety of angles could be shot. All in all a 3 hour shoot is not sufficient when working with this very talented young woman and I am looking forward to shooting with her again in January 2023 but I shall if she agrees book a half day shoot.

Now fellow photographers, what more can I say, other than, if you get the change to shoot with this young woman grab the opportunity with both hands and be prepared to walk away with some great shots that will enhance anyone's portfolio. Tryst I cannot thank you enough for today's shoot and your warm hospitality, but thank you and I look forward to our next shoot in January .. Graham xxx

I had a lovely half day shoot with Tryst yesterday, communication up to the shoot was great, we shot in her home so she shared detailed pics of the interior which helped to form ideas and begin the creative process. There was a great selection of outfits and accessories we simply didn't have time to get through (a good excuse to shoot again). Shooting was very relaxed and natural, Tryst understands the light and poses beautifully in it, I think we both felt comfortable straight away, as she has a very professional and organised approach that allows you to get started straight away creating lovely images. Looking forward to future opportunities to work together again.

After securing a Lovely old hotel for a couple of nights, I took the advantage of an extra night and put out a casting which got a lot of credible replies, however, Tryst stood out immediately and after a short decision we set about forming some ideas for our agreed shoot. Tryst traveled a long way for this and I’d tried to make the shoot and evening comfortable for her. Her enthusiasm is unrivalled and she takes modelling very seriously and despite a couple of misunderstandings to start, we soon collaborated exceptionally well together and got lots of themed looks which she rapidly created from our combined collection of cloths and props. Tryst is incredibly hard working and at times I had trouble keeping up with her flow! After dropping her to her hotel later that evening, she decided, to my absolute delight to return in the morning and shoot some more, using all the options from the gorgeous room, together with some natural daylight. We have quickly synchronised our talents and have plans to shoot again very soon. I learnt a lot from our shoot together and Tryst really opened my eyes to a different outlook on modelling. She has creative ideas for the future and I’d love to be a part of some. She looks Stunning, no matter what you throw at her and I would definitely recommend her for your next project. Thanks again Tryst. Loved shooting with you. KJ

What can I say, after working with Colleen over the last few days at the club Albert & Victoria studio both 1-2-1 and group shoots, I just had to have another 1-2-1 shoot while she was in the area. Such an amazing model and genuinely lovely person with such talent and so very skilled, enthusiastic and passionate about her craft. Colleen not only Poses effortlessly but she has a great eye for the fine details ensuring she brings any concept to life with an amazing Wow factor. We have already started discussing future ideas that we will work on together and looking forward to her return very soon. So highly recommended. Thanks for your efforts hard work and patience over the last few days and looking forward to your next visit :)

I shot with Tryst this evening at a network evening and what a brilliant evening it was. Tryst is a very accomplished young lady, who posed effortlessly and with great energy over a long period. She oozed professionalism and versatility; nothing was too much trouble and her range of poses was amazing. She certainly put everything into achieving great shots for everyone.

Totally recommended. Thanks Tryst for a great evening.

I booked Tryst(Colleen) for our club night, her pre shoot communications where 100%, she is not only a fabulous model who puts her heart into delivering exactly what you want and need from a shoot, she brings all her character to be an integral part of the image you’re trying to produce.

She arrived on time, looking incredible and was ready to shoot. She is committed from the very start of the shoot and try’s her best to give you exactly what you need, she took time to listen to what is being asked of her, and gives you her undivided attention, she's not distracted, a true professional.

By far the most noticeable element of a shoot with Colleen is her ability to catch the light, she instinctively know where to position herself, so you don't need to direct her too much, and she extremely body aware the whole shoot, placement of hands, feet, neck line, eyes, upper body, this made things so much easier as she can change the slightest thing to create a different feeling to the image.

I enjoyed working with Colleen, she's fun, warm, kind, committed, focused, professional, hard working, and quite simply creates fabulous work that you enjoy editing and can’t wait to share.

I highly recommend Colleen, so don't waste any time booking her, you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Colleen for a fabulous shoot.

I was lucky enough to work with the amazing Tryst again, this time at a group shoot at the Albert & Victoria Studio in Southport. Colleen never ceases to amaze me with her graceful effortless posing as well as her energy and passion for her craft. She works well with every photographer putting in 110% into every shot to produce astounding images. Pre shoot comms are faultless, always arrives promptly and very well prepared for the shoot. Very reliable, professional and highly recommended to photographers of all levels. Thanks for all your hard work and see you soon :)

First time shoot with this amazing lady, Victoria and Albert Group shoot she had travelled from Canada to meet with us.

Fortunately we persuaded her to stay for at least a couple of years so this will not be the last visit. 4 costume changes, elegant shaped poses and a willingness to help get the shots wanted all made it an enjoyable night. Highly recommended from me.

Superb young lady - brilliant communication from the off, great selection of outfits and an amazing level of dedication to deliver "the shot", Tryst made each of the photographers feel like the were the only one in the room - so hard at a group shoot. Brilliant model who just flows from pose to pose and one who will be back at the club. Totally recommended to all

Shot with Tryst today and loved every minute of it, I was in awe of her talent and modelling skills, really fluid and fast changing poses, but totally able to pause for my slow eye AF camera! Came away with a great set of photos and just wanting more, Tryst is a truly mesmerising model to be lucky enough to work with, its a shoot i'll remember for a long time!

Today I had my first shoot with Tryst. It was probably my most remarkable shoot. Poor Tryst had to travel nearly four hours each way to get to me for a five hour shoot. I never thought it would take place ... but it did.

Tryst is an amazing model. First, as a person. We got on better than any model I'd worked with because we had so much in common. Tryst is a very interesting person indeed.

Second, Tryst turned out to be an outstanding model; very professional indeed (in terms of her skill set). Tryst is a Canadian and has had experience of work in the UK and Europe as well as Canada. When you shoot with Tryst, she puts that collected experience to work.

The shoot went well. Tryst had a lovely collection of dresses and lingerie. What makes Tryst so special is her empathy and natural understanding of posing. It really is impressive. We shot from portrait and lingerie to the erotic edge of art nude.

The highlight of the shoot was when Tryst asked for some background music and I found an old CD of classical Spanish guitar music. I put it on and ... and Tryst went into a magical dance mode where she rapidly flowed from one pose into another under the influence of the music. It was probably the most amazing experience I've had in my many shoots.

Obviously, Tryst is a model all photographers should aspire to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending her to photographers of all levels. Her inventiveness is just what a photographer needs.

Had a wonderful first shoot with Tryst at my home studio. Arranged at short notice, but pre-shoot comms were good. Whilst she is a magnificent nude model she brought a number of excellent clothing options, and we got through a great variety of looks during our time, with far too many good shots for me to be able to edit them all.

The shoot was highly collaborative, with each of us adding ideas to improve the shots. She's also a lot of fun to be with, and our time together flew by. We've still got lots of ideas to shoot and we've already pencilled in a shoot next time she's in the area.

Absolutely recommended - highly unlikely that any photographer would regret booking her.

The communication before the shooting was nice and quick, Tryst arrived on time at the agreed location with an impeccable make up. She is professional and easy to work with. She followed the instruction and proposed good ideas as well. We had a great session together, hope to work again with her in the near future. Highly recommended

I had the pleasure or working 1-2-1 with Tryst for the first time at the club Albert & Victoria studio in Southport. Tryst has a wonderful personality and a great sense of humour. She is such a graceful model to work with and genuinely a lovely person with so much talent, enthusiasm and passion about her craft. Pre shoot comms were perfect and on the day she kept me updated regularly with travel progress arriving promptly and very well prepared for the shoot. Throughout the shoot she was full of energy putting 110% effort into every shot. Tryst not only Poses effortlessly but she has a great eye for the fine details ensuring she brings any concept to life with an amazing Wow factor. If you are lucky enough to work with this lovely young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Very Highly recommended. Thanks for your patience and a great shoot, looking forward to the next time :)

Tryst is one very special model- I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming her to my studio and working 1-2-1. Pre-shoot communication was faultless, costume perfect and the way Tryst flows from pose to pose mind blowing. I cannot recommend this young lady enough her profile is a patchwork of brilliant ideas all of which I would love to try. I am pleased to say tryst's return is booked for a group shoot that is sold out at the club. I also say as tog, studio owner and club admin we will have you back again and again .... Thank you for an amazing shoot

I arranged a shoot with Tryst for our local camera club. The pre-shoot communications were excellent. Precise and quickly confirmed the date and time. She kept me informed of her travel situation on the shoot day. Tryst arrived early and with lots of outfits to choose from. She posed extremely well with plenty of ideas on poses. She understood the lighting setup, and positioned herself accordingly. This was really helpful for the photographers. Tryst was easy to work with and was willing to try any pose suggestions.

I would highly recommend Tryst to photographers who are looking for a great model. We would definitely work with Tryst again.
