I had a truly fantastic time working with Xian today!

I'd been admiring their work from afar since moving to Edinburgh and was extremely flattered that they were keen to work with me. Our shoot was so much fun that it flew by! We both worked so naturally as a team that we required minimal direction. As a model they are one of the best and can deliver a whole range of moods, expressions and poses.

It was also my first official rope shoot (!!!) but they nevertheless managed to put me completely at ease despite my initial nervousness. I really couldn't recommend them more as a model, rigger and all-round excellent human being and would always leap at the chance to shoot with them again! :)

Another amazing shoot with the wonderful Xian as part of a duo shoot with Evie. Xian sourced a lovely flat and is a great organiser and creative and her work, including rope, with Evie was sublime. I always love working with her because, even if we picked a darker subject like ritual/witchyness, it is always inspiring, productive and above all enjoyable. The time just flew by with this amazing duo but I am so happy with the results and would always recommend Xian as a great person to work with. I do hope that there will be follow-ups but thank you so much for such a brilliant time!

I had the pleasure of working with Xian at a group shoot. She was so easy to work with, had a mischevious sense of fun and is incredibly beautiful. I definitely want to work with her again, if only to try to capture a bit more of her spirit. Highly recommended.

Hi just finnished a shoot with the fabulous Xian and what a fantastic shoot it was too . Firstly Xian is so sweet to get on with such a lovely model and very helpful I need help with direction and Xian gave me all the help I needed . I Highly recommend booking this model a Big 10/10 from me .

Synergy photography studio

Xian hosted 2 duo group shoots with Scarlot Rose a couple of weeks ago. It was great to finally have her in the studio. She has great energy and worked so well with Scarlot and the atendees during the group shoots. Xian is welcome anytime and hopefully we will see her again soon. Highly recommended to all.

Xian was a hosted model at Synergy Studios with Scarlot Rose, and I had the privilege of shooting the two of them. They worked well, with Xian sometimes taking the lead, Scarlot Rose taking over at other times. Xian seemed oblivious of the photographers and yet taking direction from the voice behind the lens. She has a good sense of humour and is a pleasure to work with as she is knowledgiable of the techniques and lighting needed to bring vision to life.

Thanks, Xian, and I hope to shoot you again soon.

Xian was a genuine pleasure to work with. Friendly, helpful and a real presence in front of the camera.

After quite a bit of correspondence & changes of dates we finally met for a shoot at Spitfire Studio. We had decided that we would shoot art-nude and some rope work Xian was accompanied by a rigger friend. Xian is a superbly capable model and is very confident work art-nude. In fact each pose was different as Xian flowed from one to the next, her strength, agility and love for creating artful poses is extraordinary. Very little direction was required as Xian has that capability to second guess what you're aiming for. With the help of her friend we then spent some time working on bondage style rope work. This was amazing as her rigger had assembled a simple bamboo tripod and with some expert rope work created a series of suspensions which enabled me to take a number of exciting images.

Xian is a lovely, bubbly, friendly, outgoing and delightful person and is a model who I very highly recommend.

Thank you for a fabulous shoot.

One of the great ones - a feline understanding of what we both want to achieve in various guises, great creativity, super friendly and fun and super gorgeous. And, if that is important, super efficient.

No Such Photography

You don't spend much time with Xian before seeing what everyone else raves about in their reviews. Excellent precoms and Xian swiftly provided location alternatives from inclement weather, the day prior.

What started effectively as a "goof shoot" quickly turned into a multifaceted and creatively rewarding photo set . Each click was suffused with Xian's best effort and the moments in between punctuated with biting humour and laughs. Looking most forward to collaborating again.

My third awesome shoot with the truly amazing Xian. This time is was a duo shoot with Scarlot Rose and they really gelled and worked together so well. We covered lingerie, art nude and rope work, the last organised and undertaken by Xian. I adore this lady for her bouncy enthusiasm, great attitude and unique beauty. If you have not shot with Xian then you must. It will not be like any other shoot and you will be guaranteed to come away with captivating and striking images. She will make sure you do - of that there is no doubt! She is dedicated to producing great art and sometime you just need to go with the flow and trust her professionalism and sense of fun! I find it always a truly enriching and creative process (with lots of laughs) so roll on the next time!

Xian is more than awesome. I booked her for a 2 girl shoot but the other girl called off ill. We opted to go for a location shoot on one of the hottest sunniest days yet. Xian is a trooper - she scalled fences - climbed walls, waded thru ice cold water and lay down that beautiful body on a variety of cold hard and gritty surfaces. She poses effortlessly and requires little direction. Xian has a great eye for light and placing herself so our afternoon session just flew in.

She is a true professional and is friendly and chatty and managed to settle my nerves.

I cant say enough about what a great shoot i had with her- Xian is the best - she delivers great images and makes it so much fun. She was organised and totally professional and full of ideas.

if you are thinking of booking her - do it now. I am already planning another shoot with her. Thanks Xian - Top Model xxxx

just your average shoot.

Errrr.... not this was far, far from average, this was an awesome shoot.

Xian is amazing, and I am sure she will admit herself, she's a little bit craze in a good way.

Pre comms were spot on, we discussed outfits and all that usual stuff, but from the moment I picked Xian up at the train station I knew that this was going to be one hell of a shoot.

Xian picked the music for todays shoot, from Female diva through trance to Rap... was awesome, way to young for an old codger like me, but still awesome.

Xian can pose all day, like to look at the back of the camera so that she can see how she will improve her pose for the next shot.

Works really hard to get the right shot, knows how to find her light.

Oh and did I mention she fed me!!!! now this endures a re-book at some point.

Amazing fun happy chatty shoot.

Thanks Xian, can't wait to start the edit.

Until the next shoot

My second shoot with the amazing Xian. This time Xian was visiting near me and so we took the opportunity to shoot in a derelict location near me. Xian is fantastic at fetish ideas and we created some very striking images in a style which was not so familiar to me. However, Xian is full of ideas and made create suggestions but was also willing to go with mine too which led to a good partnership of ideas. We did have some access problems but Xian was not phased and everything worked out well. I love working with this inspiring lady!

Calandra

Absolutely loved working with this immensely talented lady! Xian replied to my casting and boy am I glad! I think she is one of the most interesting and creative models I have worked with. Natural lighting inside on a dull, sleety day was not great but Xian liked my props had some of her own and helped to create some unusual and different images. We spent a lot of time talking and the time just flew by leaving me wanting more and wanting to shoot again in some of the other areas of which she is very knowledgeable. Xian is very versatile, great company and can create unique images. I would love to work with her on pole and rope ideas for example but I would jump at the chance to work with her again on any theme. Besides all this she is very beautiful, has great make-up, arranged the flat for us to shoot in and kept me really entertained. Highly recommended if you are looking for that unique, captivating image to boost your port! Thank you Xian!

Regardless of genre or time available, Xian continues to impress with pre-shoot comms, and awesome ability to work on the theme of the shoot, but also to imprint that Creative ability she unerringly has to make it unique.

Our most recent shoot was to demonstrate long exposure and dance/movement...Xian is one of only two models in Scotland I would be assured could carry this difficult shoot off.

Endlessly versatile, highly rated and always looking to improve backed up by a large experience of many different styles.......fantastic lady and model.

I was lucky enough to shoot with the wonderful Xian and Scarlot Rose during their duo art nude ( extreme Tetris ) in Synergy studio . Amazing to work with and I can’t wait to shoot again

The Gray Room

I had the pleasure of meeting Xian when she was working at the studio on a shoot with PP photographer Toreopics. The shoot produced some great images. I would be delighted to see Xian back at the studio in the future and would have no hesitation in recommending her as a model.

Worked with the wonderful xian on a test shoot together yesterday.

Xian did the shibari/rigging for this shoot, she is such a wonderful, easy going character and I felt so comfortable almost straight away!

Chatty and really professional!

Highly recommended for her rope skills.x
