I answered a last minute casting call with Riza and we met up to shoot within a couple of hours of first contact! Despite the very short opportunity to plan the shoot, we quickly talked ideas and agreed a concept to shoot and when/where to meet.

She arrived on time and ready to shoot (in no time at all) and we quickly shot one outfit in a few different locations. She had some great poses that showed a lot of imagination and were very appropriate for the outfit and concept we were shooting. She also had a good eye for spotting places that would work well at the location.

The results were great and I'm really pleased I answered the last minute call and only regret that we didn't have time to play with some of the other looks that she had with her.

Looking forward to the next shoot!

What an enormous pleasure and great honour it was for me to have my 2nd shoot with the natural talent that is Riza earlier today.

We started discussing the shoot a few weeks ago as the country gradually emerged from lockdown. Pre comms were absolutely superb right from the off and Riza shared her mood board of ideas with me which allowed me to come up with a location that I am reasonably confident to say has never been used for a model shoot.

Despite the less than easy final part of her route, Riza found our agreed meeting place with ease and was ready dressed in her first outfit. It was just a short drive in my car for us to access the shooting location and once there, Riza got to work immediately only for us to be interrupted by a torrential downpour. Not that the enforced break fazed her at all as she was straight back to work as soon as the rain eased and simply flowed from one stunning pose to another until another torrential downpour (this time accompanied by a short burst of thunder and lightning) caused us to seek shelter once more.

After that, the sun shone all day - in more ways than one - as Riza demonstrated her mastery of her art. Outfit changes (6 in all) were accomplished in what seemed like mere seconds and her creativity knew no bounds as she worked with all the props that she had brought. What little direction I gave was taken very well indeed, but it has to be said that Riza just seemed to know what poses would give the best results without me having to say much and the time just flew by until, all too soon, it was time to pack up and leave as Riza had quite a journey ahead of her.

Riza is a superb model who is friendly, polite, hard-working, great company (brought snacks too !!!!), extremely talented, dedicated, knowledgeable professional and, forgive me if I have already mentioned it, incredibly talented. I just cannot recommend her too highly to all reliable photographers.

Thank you ever so much for working with me once more Riza. Shoot number 3 cannot happen soon enough.

A chance message and a fleeting visit to Staffordshire resulted in a lovely walk, chat and by strange chance, some lovely photos with Riza.

She came beautifully equipped with some lovely, renaissance outfits and accompanying props, She interacted beautifully with her surroundings bringing a lovely serenity to all that we shot.

I give Riza my highest recommendation and time spent booking her is time very well spent:) Thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Riza for an Autumn shoot. Riza showed up on time and bought an entire wardrobe of outfits along with a very professional but friendly attitude that made for a great experience.

She is very confident in-front of a camera and is happy posing herself and making suggestions, but equally able to follow directions when needed. We got some amazing images and I highly recommend working with her if you get the chance!

My second shoot with Riza was a whole not of fun. Riza is an excellent model that works really hard to get a shoot and is more than happy to get messy to get it. today was a powdered paint shoot and both of us got covered but it was well worth it

Can't recommend Riza enough very professional and hard working model but has a good sense of humour and is easy to work with

Just had a really nice, relaxed and highly productive shoot with Riza. Very professional and super easy to work with. Riza arrived on time with all the outfits ideas we'd discussed and posed beautifully despite the rather bitter wind. The local cat seemed most impressed with her style too: I'm sure next time I use that location it will look at me most reproachfully if Riaz is not with me. She (Riza, not the cat) was kind enough to by me coffee too :) I recommend Riza and hope I can work with her again.

I had another shoot with Riza just now.

Riza always on time. It's so easy to plan a shoot with her. She came ready to do the shoot.

She always takes directions well and easy. And she is great with pre-shoot, easy to understand what I wanted.

She is a great company too to chat too.

If you want to shoot with her don't hesitate.

I highly recommend her.

Surely I will do another shoot soon.

Thank ever so much for your time.

Had a shoot with Riza on Monday.

The weather was boiling and we did a fair bit of walking to find different locations in the woodlands.

Riza came super prepared with plenty of dresses, hats and even props! Although we didn't use any props. She was completely comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Some would even say a natural! She understood her lighting, placements and angles, and we got so many great photos!

She is super friendly, chatty and down to earth, and I very much look forward to working with her again in the future

my first shoot today with Riza. pre shoot comms was excellent and time keeping too

Riza is an excellent model that is well aware of her own body and know how to create some great poses very dynamic. Is able to self pose without issues but also take direction very well, has some very creative ideas and is very easy to chat to while shooting.

Make up done to a very high standard and is very bubbly with a lovely smile what really nice to see in shots, but is also able to make all sort of facial expression what is a huge bonus when trying to make interesting images.

would highly recommend and look forward to shoot with Riza again

Great comms and really good contact, we both arrived on time, we were at the correct place, but there was a canal and river between us...., so we got that sorted and had a fabulous shoot, and Riza was happy to go into the water where there were a few larger rocks to do the shoot.

Mind you, it was a very hot day, but I think if it was a nasty day, she would have attempted it as well.

We have already discussed our third shoot...

If you do get a chance to work with Riza, have no doubts at all, she will be there with plenty of outfits to use.

So if you want a gorgeous model who is confident to try things.. ask Riza

she takes direction well and will offer her own thoughts.

Excellent

My first shoot with Megan. She was utterly professional from start to finish. She poses instinctively and with a great deal of grace and poise. Her communication before shooting was great I’m delighted with the images that we have put together and hope to work together in the near future.

What an enormous pleasure it was to shoot with Megan Eliza earlier today.

I answered her casting call a couple of weeks ago and in no time at all, she had replied and we had started discussing ideas. Communication was excellent throughout so that we knew exactly what to bring today (she even brought me shortcake biscuits !!!!!) and what we would be attempting to achieve.

Megan was on time at the location, quickly got changed into her first outfit and it was off to work.

Megan simply flowed from one stunning pose to another. She took direction very well indeed when I gave it - not that much was needed - and worked tirelessly to achieve some fantastic images. She quickly changed from one outfit to another, creating quite a variety of looks as we moved around our chosen location and the time simply flew by until the only downside of the shoot - it had to end.

Megan Eliza is a naturally talented young lady and it I found it difficult to believe that she has only 6 months experience. She is dedicated, extremely hard-working, creative, polite, friendly, easy to get along with and I mention it again - incredibly talented. She has all that it takes to go as far as she wants in her chosen field and I cannot recommend her too highly. I suggest that photographers book her whilst they can as Megan is going to be very busy in the not too distant future.

Thank you for a wonderful shoot today Megan Eliza. I cannot wait to work with you again soon.

Megan was a pleasure to work with, lots of communication beforehand, was on time and ready to shoot.... plenty of changes of dresses or shorts etc.. and took direction very well indeed.

Loved the shoot and over two hours absolutely flew by. I would love to shoot again with her soon, I think that's a definite.

She is very new but has a great attitude.

See you soon Megan x

Marcos Appelt

Super!!!

Soon I started communicating with Megan I noticed she will be great to work with. Is superb to chat with Megan.

On the day she surely was at the location earlier and ready to start. During the shoot, she show always interest and willing to go.

I Highly recommended Megan to work with. She is superb.

I going to work with her many more times.

Thank you ever so much for you time.

First time meeting Meg today. Somewhat impromptu shoot as I just happened to be in the area. Chats beforehand, although brief, were really useful and Meg suggested the marine lake in Clevedon as she knew the area better than me. Having spent a couple of hours scoping it out before Meg arrived, I had a few ideas of what I'd like to shoot. Meg rocked up on time and was very nicely prepared for a shoot with no specific agenda! she bought a nice selection of clothes and allowed me to flick through to see what I thought would work best. I am not one for meticulously planning an outdoor shoot as so much depends on the conditions but Meg was very willing to go with the flow with me and I feel we created some lovely shots together. Meg was willing to climb around on walls and trees for me and was very helpful with holding/ passing equipment as I climbed trees too! All round great lady. Although she is still new to this, she didn't need much direction but was very happy to do as asked with minor adjustments. I will certainly work with her again when it's warmer!

It's a privilege to be writing MeganEliza's very first reference!

Meg came to my studio with Beverley (a long time collaborator of mine) with an idea to see if it would be fun - and it certainly was :-). From an (understandably) apprehensive start, she really took care to listen and learn from my direction, and by the end of the day was posing with confidence and style. She bought some amazing wigs and outfits of her own, and has a definite knack for styling quick looks from items around the studio - from hobo to Hollywood star on this occasion!

A brilliant day, lots of laughs and a total pleasure to work with. I'm very much looking forward to welcoming Meg back to my studio, and can definitely recommend her.
