Just had another great shoot with Wendy at her home this morning in Liverpool. Wendy is a beautiful and fantastic model who is very friendly and easy to work with.

She has a massive range of quality outfits, lingerie and accessories, poses brilliantly and worked hard throughout the shoot to make sure we both got the shots we was looking for.

Truly a delight to work with, looked stunning throughout the shoot, is definitely very highly recommended and we will be working again very soon.

Thankyou again Paul :-) xxx

I had the great pleasure of shooting lovely Renaissance for the first time on a duo Arts Voyage Tour in magical Menorca. Great model, highly professional and most creative artist. We worked together, and with her colleague stupendous Keira Lovell for a whole week. Fantastic model. fantastic week. I highly recommend her.

Keira Lavelle

I’ve joint-hosted a number of epic photography events with this fantastic human: our latest being on the magnificent island of Menorca for our Arts Voyage creative one-to-one duo event. :) The ten days we both had in total utterly FLEW by, it honestly did not seem like two minutes since we arrived that we were boarding the plane back home after an insanely productive event with the small group of lovely photographers that joined us to create stunning images and memories.

In the lead up to the events, we are heavily involved together in the setup of all elements that constitute towards making the trip as nice a creative experience for our attending photographers... And generally doing all we can to have a blast with like-minded people. This year we hosted events together in Malta (May) and Menorca (September/October) and though we have all our checklists and “to-do’s” in the months/weeks/days before the trips - it’s only really the pair of us who truly know just how must graft and passion has gone into making each event a success. I cannot thank Renaissance enough for her teamwork, willingness and professional determination - and we’ve got slicker with bouncing off each other from one event to the next. I think it’s fair to say that we operate and communicate using telepathy now! :’) From the sourcing of the luxury accommodation in which we stay at each destination, to the tracking down suitable (wow-factor) locations and all the extra bits and bobs that you just don’t see from the outside. We put sweat and blood into Arts Voyage from the start and despite us expecting to be absolutely exhausted when we board that flight come the end of a trip; the glisten in the eye and buzz for the “high-five” success is still racing around. :) Her vast experience at planning her own tours through years of professional modelling and constantly coming up with new ideas for her photographers no matter how many shoots she does absolutely prevails and makes her an utterly top-notch partner to work alongside creatively. Because once we’ve done all that scouting/planning and so forth... We then need fresh inspiration within shoot concepts both duo and solo to rock - believe me when I say that this is absolute gold dust in the qualities of a model. Renaissance gives this in the masses, and models it with kick-ass expressiveness too!

Quite often, we will rise at ‘crazy-o-clock’ to hit the early light... From the moment we’re awake it is constant: modelling, preparing lunch, fitness/admin, modelling, chauffeuring to-and-from locations/navigating, preparing outfits for the next day, dining and then sleeping to repeat it all again the next day! The joy we’ve got out of the trips of course makes it 1 million percent worthwhile, but it reflects on how much commitment is needed from a model/host for what looks like “a glamorous holiday” for a model on the outside world. Yet after all of the craziness, Renaissance still manages to look like FIRE in front of the camera! From Gaga-style fashion, to elegant Pre Raphaelite art, to exquisite portraits and even cheesecake pinup/glam!!! She is versatile as heck and moves mountains to help the photographers shooting her come away with some sensational images. Her eye for perfection means that she’ll get back out there and smash the look even harder if needs be; down to every last limb. The same goes when we’ve shot duo and the set involves us integrating with emotion, symmetry or contrast - it comes so naturally to Renaissance so whether you wish to book her individually or to work with another model, she bears the skills and experience to provide you with quality poses and expression either way. :) I can confirm this first hand!

And of course; she is an utter diamond of a person. Friendly, upbeat and always positive... Did I mention constantly enthusiastic, funny and driven? Particularly in Menorca there were several moments when I was just absolutely crying with laughter and could not compose myself over silly little things that just pleased our simple minds! :’) “Some days we just like to dress like this, but sometimes we wear normal clothes too.” Ask Renaissance about this if you ever shoot together; it reflected how oblivious and in-the-zone we become when doing our thing and how walking around bearing extravagant bright outfits is such a normal thing to do! :P It’s this what makes a duo trip such a fun experience; the little “family unit” that we almost develop with our small group means that we can truly enjoy the time on a social basis as well as the professional hosts we are. These are the kind of memories that we’ll look back at with Arts Voyage and start randomly smirking as we’re walking to the shop or something! :D But yes; fantastic model and lovely person too. Renaissance ensures everyone in company is happy/content and probably pushes the kettle button more times than the staff at a cafe... Amazing company definitely guaranteed!

So do I Recommend Renaissance? You can bet your fizzy cherries I do! Get her booked this instant - you will adore working with her!

Thank you for such wonderful antics this year! :) ♥

I had the pleasure of another excellent photography trip away with the fabulous Renaissance. This time it was with her Arts Voyage company with the also fantastic Keira Lavelle. Beforehand everything went very smoothly as far as arranging travel & other arrangements. The villa that was chosen was excellent in a great area with all the things you needed for a week long stay, including a very nice swimming pool that I used at every opportunity in any spare time. Also it was so nice to have such a well organised location dossier, with so many great locations, a really nice touch that made choosing what to do for the shoots so easy.

The time shooting with Renaissance was excellent as usual, but after so many shoots with Renaissance I knew this anyway. As usual as well as being a superb model, she was a great host & as ever great fun to be around. The images on this trip may have surpassed all that I have taken before, many due to the professionalism and creativity of Renaissance.

But at times I also had the pleasure to shoot with Renaissance & Keira in duo shoots, these were fantastic & again fun, even when I nearly fell into the sea… camera as well.

Again as I have said so many times before, Renaissance is an excellent model, great to hang around with & so much fun to be with as well.

Very very very highly recommended, A+++++

We had another fabulous Artsvoyageintl trip with Wendy, this time in Menorca. There were some lovely locations around the villa and some quite splendid locations around the island with some old quarries being a particular highlight. Wendy always brings ideas to the shoots and works well with our props. She works well as a duo or on her own. It was a very enjoyable trip – thank you Wendy!

I have just had a most enjoyable shoot with the delightful Wendy Louise. I have worked with Wendy several times but it had been many years since we last worked together and so this shoot was well overdue. Our previous shoots have been at my home studio (the first shoot dating back to 2008), but on this occasion the shoot took place in her spacious home that has plenty of natural light flooding in from the large windows. I took a look around the place on arrival and then Wendy and I set out a plan for the outfits and looks. We did a mixture of themes from fashion to art nude and Wendy flows from pose to pose with ease, and she also adapts quickly to any direction given and throws her own ideas into the mix too. She is a fantastic model to work with, and a genuine lovely person too, and so you are guaranteed to have wonderful shoot and come away with lots of nice images, and I highly recommend Wendy to all :) 

Had a fantastic shoot this morning with the beautiful Renaissance. What a lovely person and a fantastic model. Her posing is superb and she is so easy to work with. She has a very bubbly personality. The couple of hours flew by. And she makes great coffee. Thanks R. Looking forward to working with you again soon.

Another body casting with the beautiful model Renaissance we discussed ideas as I want to try an ambitious full torso cast this was more of an experiment

I have shot numerous times with Renaissance over the last four years and it has turned to friendship

Renaissance brings so much enthusiasm to every shoot it amazes me how she puts up with some of my crazy ideas And does her best to help me achieve them

I have found her wealth of knowledge both in front and behind the lens has helped me a lot

If you get a chance to work with Renaissance don’t miss out you will regret it regards Ian

Had an amazing shoot with two delightful ladies three hours just seemed to fly past Renaissance and Aurora body scapes light and shadow

I have never shot with Aurora before but I did a body casting with the young lady along with Renaissance last week you can see the empathy between them they pose so well together

it was funny we had about two hours of shooting done

thinking about another completely different pose

Without speaking I turned round both girls had got into the pose I was thinking about

Will be so pleased to work with them as a duo again

Well done ladies Five well deserved stars each

Thanks’ Ian

I have had the pleasure of working with wendy several times now but this one has been one of my favourites. Shooting from her beautiful home we did bodyscapes with the photographer Froddy. Wendy's home has more than enough space and she also has a massage table which works perfectly for bodyscapes. This lady ups her game everytime, she not only has excellent knowledge of lighting techniques but she is skillful on both sides of the camera. Wendy edited some of our images and they look incredible! Not only is she a beautiful model, she has a kind soul and gives off such a positive energy. I am very lucky to have had the opportunities to work with her, not only is she becoming a good friend but as a model she is an inspiration too! Cant recommend highly enough!

Another body casting with the wonderful Renaissance a great model as I have said in the past inventive creative and a great personality an amazing person to work with

A great casting session Renais was a great help with a first time casting with *Aurora * both ladies helped me as it is a learning curve for me numerous photo sessions with Renaissance over the last four years only leave me in awe of the professional approach to her work her mobile phone is not an attachment to her hand her concentration is on getting the best image the photographer is trying for

Highly recommended every photographer would benefit with Renaissance in their portfolio

Regards Ian

Duo shoot with *Aurora* was great! Warm and welcoming, really easy to work with, willing to try many ideas and makes good suggestions to improve shots. Feel really lucky to have worked with her. Highly recommended!

I came to Liverpool for a weekend of duo work with Wendy and it has been one of the best experiences I have had working in the industry. Wendy is a dream to work with, she is full of ideas, has a beautiful apartment with stunning windows allowing natural light to filter though creating the perfect shooting space. Wendy is welcoming, friendly with a brilliant attitude towards her job. Not only is she a superb model she also has a photographers eye for lighting to compliment your shot. She poses with grace looking incredibly natural for the camera and has plenty of props to add something extra. Over all she is a beautiful person inside and out, in my opinion no portfolio is complete without renaissance added to it! Thanks again! X

I worked with Wendy for the first time today on a duo shoot with my partner and what a pleasure it was to work along side two talented models. Wendy is a bubbly chatty lady with a huge personality. She just flows from pose to pose with ease and is full of creative ideas. She chose an old abbey ruin for the location and we achieved some superb images. Wendy has a professional attitude and her passion for what she does shines through. She is a real credit to the industry and I hope our paths cross again! Highly recommended! :)

I had my second shoot with the young beautiful Renaissance , I really don’t know why I have waited For such a long time for this shoot , but I am glad I had the chance to work with her again , she is great to work with , we communicated really well and she doesn’t need directions , when we planed this shoot we both came up with some great ideas which we put into action…. I have a problem though , the images that I took I normally go through and pick the best ones , but nooooo Renaissance had to make it hard for me , I can not choose , there are no bad shots , I am psychologically unable to dump great images , thank you very much , but that’s what I love about you , you never disappoint , you call me a legend , I call you a Goddess ….

Thank you for such a fantastic day , I really enjoyed working with you , I definitely won’t leave it so long next time XXX

Wendy came down for one of her regular visits to the Midlands, so we met at Shrewsbury for some shots around the area.

1st stop was Haughmond Abbey - a white wedding-style dress which gave some great flowing shots (it was windy) and some lovely goddess poses.

Next stop some local woodland for a bit of fashion-in-the-woods.

Then, when rain threatened, into Shrewsbury for some urban attitude. Then a bit of reflections for a project I'm doing.

All through Wendy was her usual happy-easy-going self, keen to do things once i'd explained my idea and offering suggestions of her own.

Great shoot - great pictures.

Next time ….

Another super session with Wendy on her Birmingham tour this time tried some home ideas with crystals and sunglasses . As usual Wendy came up with some great ideas. No more to be said 100% again

Lovely shoot yesterday with Wendy.

Comms excellent from the outset, with great directions to the location. Wendy kept in touch when I was coming to the location, due to a late start ....(entirely my fault).

What can I say, Wendy was most charming and helpful from the start, and after a quick discussion we started work. And what a delight it was, with Wendy's huge experience and 100% professionalism making it all happen with very little direction from me.

As well as being absolutely stunning, her very bubbly personality shone through the whole shoot. Great poses, great experience and great communication throughout.

I thoroughly recommend Wendy without reservation. And yes I am planning to work with Wendy again soon.
