I am so glad I replied to Robyn’s casting looking for local photographers while she was in South Wales over the Bank Holiday weekend. Being a model who specialises in art nude and wanting to shoot in the landscape, she came to the right place…

Robyn’s pre-shoot communication was excellent, responding promptly and we exchanged ideas, a trip to my lock-up yielded a number of props, half of which we didn’t use as Robyn’s posing combined with the location didn’t need props.

Robyn is a creative, intelligent model, who clearly loves what she does and works hard during the shoot. She takes direction well and uses her experience and creativity to contribute to the shoot with her own ideas.

It was a real pleasure working with someone who knows their craft, works hard and nothing phases her; trust me, South Wales is not the warmest of places in April and the flowing water in the upper reaches of the River Taf is positively ‘Baltic’.

A very warm, friendly and chatty person who was a delight to work with and who I would thoroughly recommend to any photographer, and as she travels to Cardiff regularly, something tells me we will be working together again soon.

Thanks Robyn, you are an absolute star 🌟.

I had the great pleasure of working with Robyn on Easter Sunday, and what a 1st shoot it was too. We arranged to rendezvous at Wentwood Forest in South Wales, the sun was out, it was quiet and we had the best parts all to ourselves.

From the 1st shot to the last, including a nasty cut to the back of her leg and getting comfy amongst the forest floor brambles, Robyn was unstoppable. Working with me on ideas as well as a wealth of knowledge on striking many different poses I didn't know were possible.

Pre-comms were spot on, arrived early and I highly recommend her.

Robyn knows her craft extremely well, and I am definitely looking forward to our 2nd shoot.

Thank you again Robyn, you're totally wicked!!

I know you're not meant to have a favourite... just saying.

I had a wonderful 2nd shoot with Robyn, we managed to cover 3 hours of Lingerie, Urban / Fashion and Art Nude images, with some great images to be sorted through really looking forward to sorting through them and working with Robyn again in the future.

Robyn brings so much to a shoot both ideas and suggestions of her own, along with inspiration for the photographer to work with. I look forward to working with her again as time allows for both of us.

Thanks Robyn you're fantastic as a model and I would highly recommend her to all photographers to work with!

I had a most enjoyable and productive shoot with Robyn a couple of days ago. She spent four hours at my studio modelling 1-2-1 for a couple of photographer colleagues and then a further three hours working with me.

Arranging the shoot could not have been easier - Robyn responded very promptly and efficiently to messages and the arrangements were quickly and easily agreed. Robyn arrived in good time to the shoot, together with everything she had been asked to bring and far more besides. She was enthusiastic and maintained her energy levels throughout the day. Robyn took great care to ensure that I and the other photographers captured the images they wwanted and was able to contribute her own excellent ideas and suggestions on several occasions.

Robyn has an amazing figure and well toned body. She was able easily to create some great shapes, including many which have proved impossible for other models in the past, whilst also maintaining her muscle tone and controlling her breathing to best effect.

An intelligent, elegant, articulate young woman who is good company and has a great sense of humour.

Each of my two photographer colleagues, as he was leaving, was keen for me to arrange a return visit and I have pencilled in a date with Robyn for my own next shoot with her. There can be no stronger recommendation.

Thank you, Robyn - I look forward to working with you again shortly.

Worked with Robyn for the first time today, shooting at Gloucester Prison.

I’m so glad I booked her for this shoot.

Robyn is an absolute delight to work alongside; she’s professional, dedicated to her craft, and intent on getting the absolute best out of a shoot. Robyn brings so much to the table; zest, a lovely personality, a keen eye for an image, creativity in abundance and an absolutely massive work ethic. Unafraid to work an environment to achieve the shot, bold and daring, and of course stunningly beautiful.

Robyn, as I discovered, is the queen of dark spaces, always looking for that shaft of light that will bend the shadows to her will.

A total joy to shoot with, I really hope Robyn will work with me again.

Hugely recommended.

Oh my giddy aunt, what a day we had, Robyn is not only an absolute pleasure to photograph but also to spend time with. She is a bright, funny, hard working, keen and interesting person.

Robyn works hard at perfecting her craft and it shows, she takes direction really well whilst being able to put valuable input into every shot through her confidence in her abilities and her knowledge of herself and her body.

I could photograph Robyn again and again and I whole heartedly recommend her 😍

I recently had my 1st shoot with Robyn and it was fantastic. We shot at Blis studio in Weymouth and dispite having a very lonited time to shoot we achieved quite a lot and have already organised another shoot.

Robyn has a great range of poses and although she only models part time I just love her enthusiasm and passion and we definatly got some great shots and I'm really looking forward to our next shoot.

She is definatly 100% recommended by me.

MistyDrew

Had my first shoot today with Robyn, not only did she take the time and effort to come to me for the 4 hours, her communications is 100% with suggestions and ideas of her own.

We discussed some ideas of locations, making use of 2 local locations which I've used one local location once and the other was a first time shoot location, though we had a few locals making attention I think we had a fantastic time.

Robyn brought a great selection of outfits ones of her choosing along with the ones of my choice... I'm loving the images we've created and have already shared a couple with Robyn.

Hoping to shoot with Robyn again and would highly recommend her to any other photographer she takes direction well and naturally poses from her own experience, which always makes it easy for the photographer.. so go on book her and keep her busy :)

Such a delight shooting with Robyn over 2 days. I can't remember the last time I worked with someone who demonstrates such joy about creating images. Robyn was also super patient as I wrestled with new gear in new locations! I'm glad and sad that Robyn lives so far from me as I suspect I would find it difficult to shoot with anyone else if she was on my doorstep. Highly recommended.

Robyn made the long journey to my home studio yet arrived early and bright as a button. We spent the next four hours laughing and going through the mood board like a knife through butter. Her communications had been excellent throughout so we wasted no time and even managed to add a little to what we had planned.

Such a super person to work with and Id love to work with her again. Highly recommended from me.

This was my second shoot with Robyn. There will be more. Res ipsa loquitur.

Shot with this lovely lady while on holiday. Arrived early and had time for a cup of tea and a chat before shooting. Robyn was kind enough to allow my stepson to do some shooting with her, as he is interested in taking up photography. It was a real pleasure working with someone happy to give ideas and nothing was too much trouble. Robyn came well prepared with lots of outfits . It was a real joy to work with this lady , it’s been a while since I shot for one reason and another,but could not have asked for a better one. I would totally recommend Robyn, she is chatty, creative and fun, i most enjoyable shoot, thank you and hope our paths cross again in the future

Robyn arrived 15 minutes early with a good selection of lingerie etc. However, the shoot with Robyn was not what I expected. Yes, we started with Christmas tree lights as we had discussed prior to the shoot and got some good results. Robyn then challenged me to experiment and move on from my normal images. Went from normal red side lighting to include mirror floor and then contortionist poses producing some weird, confusing images. A very satisfying session with a great, friendly model.

Boudoir By Gritton

First shoot with Robyn. Pre shoot communications were excellent and she turned up with a good selection of lingerie. I found Robyn to be a very professional person who is enjoyable to work with. She understood the brief and style of the shoot and produced some excellent poses. The shoot was few hours long but I am very pleased with the images that I have. I hope to work with Robyn again and hopefully very soon!!

Robyn is a complete gem, arriving to the studio ready to shoot fully aware of what we will be shooting armed with a host of ideas that she looked into, any photographers dream in all the preperation.

Her communications were great and then on to the shoot and wow what a model, she knows how her body works and strived to achieve every image that we created. We had a lot of fun throughout the shoot and shot some great images.

I cant reccomend Robyn enough and cant wait until our next shoot.

Worth every minute of her time she is certain worth the booking.She is fun, extreemely beautiful and the conversation and laughter flows.

Steve Flack

Had my second shoot with the very lovely Robyn today. It’s been 3 years since our last shoot and I was so pleased Robyn got in touch wanting to shoot again.

We arranged to shoot at her beautiful apartment, filled with natural light and bags of character. Robyn is one of the most bubbly and enthusiastic models, she has loads of creative ideas and heaps of fabulous outfits. Conversation and laughs are never lacking with Robyn as well as copious amounts of coffee.

A natural talent, Robyn poses effortlessly and is very flexible, she can create positions many others would find impossible.

We shot a variety of sets from lingerie to beautiful art nude and I’m so happy with the resulting images and can’t wait to share them. If you haven’t worked with Robyn, book her…….

Thank you Robyn it was a total pleasure shooting with you again and I’m so looking forward to the next one….

Steve.

Hopefully this will have been the first of many shoots. Robyn is a natural and effortless poser, who quickly translates ideas into something substantial. Chatty and confident, she makes time fly, plus the bonus of living virtually on my doorstep. Next shoot already booked.

Robyn is a fascinating young woman. She is well traveled and has a wealth of experience well beyond her years. This made for an interesting shoot that was full of ideas and great fun. Robyn has a good eye and is very particular about what images she is happy with. She is a good communicator and pre coms were excellent. This helped in focusing the shoot and producing some super images.

Thanks for a lovely shoot Robyn. Thoroughly recommended. 😀

Myself and Robyn started a discussion about working together after having expressed a mutual appreciation for one another's portfolio images on Instagram.

With a connection established, we were looking to bring about a collaboration. After discussing a few ideas we eventually found a photographer who shared our vision for a sensually themed duo bodyscape shoot.

Having communicated extensively with ideas and possibilities, when shoot day arrived we were very well prepared to experiment and maximise on the creative opportunity.

Although we were meeting and working together for the first time, there was a real sense of chemistry between us which made an otherwise challenging theme feel natural to recreate.

From the outset Robyn brought her very own charisma to match her curves which made for a great atmosphere. The result was a collection of images that tell a beautifully artistic story of sensuality.

This was an enjoyable and very successful shoot and an exceptional collaboration all round.

We plan to work together again at some point so Robyn is definitely highly recommended by me! 😎

Oh wow..what a great shoot! Having just read Robyn's previous references I'm trying to not repeat descriptions like "great fun, beautiful, professional, excellent, fabulous, amazing" but it's so hard as they are all spot on! Where to begin?! Robyn messaged me after I had commented on a photo, she said she'd never worked with an artist, never been painted but 'wanted to try something new' I mention this as it helps sum her up and what she brings to her modelling.From our conversations I discovered Robyn is so curious and adventurous as a person, she has boundless energy, a thirst to discover and learn and total commitment to doing it well. She brought all of that to our time together. This shoot was very much a creative collaboration. I'm used to bringing along the arty thoughts (!) , but this time we worked on a nude body paint theme that was all Robyn's idea which was really refreshing for me! We got some great shots in this theme and many more lovely images across the board but time and other factors made this more of a test run for the body paint, I can't wait to reconvene and bring Robyn's ideas to full fruition on location... Watch this space!! Oh and did I mention she's absolutely gorgeous inside and out?! Stunning eyes, beautiful figure. She's simply a lovely, all over, as nature intended, bundle of joy and I can't wait to work with her again!
