A phenomenal model.

For anyone reading this, my advice is simple. Make a booking. Right now.

I'm serious - Tryst is so talented that she will undoubtedly get fully booked up for months, as we move towards warmer days.

Now for some details. Pre-shoot comms - excellent. Directions (and advance info including photos of the location) - excellent. A warm friendly welcome and a delicious cup of coffee!

The shoot itself - I am just picking up the threads again, after a few quiet years on this site. I was looking to get some simple portrait snaps, to begin to get a feel for portraiture and figure photography again, with a view to future paintings based on the photos.

I got so much more that I could have hoped for. An effortless 'flow' of poses, use of natural and artificial light, rooms, props and clothes. Tryst radiates positive, creative energy. Absolutely extraordinary.

I can honestly say that now, I feel inspired to create more.

One last practical note. If you're based in the south or the midlands of England, you might think Cumbria is a stretch - but, the location is really easy to get to. It's just a few quick miles on an A-road off the M6, then literally a few yards down a minor road into a picture-postcard village. Or by rail, Penrith station is on the main London-Glasgow line.

My 3rd shoot with Tryst was by far the best yet, this time at her amazing cottage remotely situated in the north Lake District area. The cottage has tons of character and offers lots of shooting options.

Tryst is a hard working and experienced model who is completely focused on creating the best images possible from start to finish.

I really enjoy working with Tryst and if you are looking for a beautiful, stylish and professional model you won't be disappointed.

Second shoot within a month with the never boring Tryst :-) . This time I visited her 18th century Lake District home. Location is not far from the M6. If your satnav like mine isn't specific enough just find the red phone box and Tryst's home is across the road from there! There's a parking spot.

Had travelled from Glasgow so I also stayed overnight and did another part of the shoot the next morning. Tryst was a great host and cook. Comfy double bed and the whole house was very warm in these current cold weather times.

Her home is ideal for many styles of shoots. Even with a long shoot we still ran out of time to do any sets in the kitchen or bathroom. The natural light at the windows helped to add some extra gloss to the morning shots.

Third shoot I've had with Tryst and she literally doesn't need any direction other than a short summary of what you're trying to achieve. Then she executes it prefectly :-) .

Extra tip if you visit. There's an old school style garage and fuel station where they fill your car for you in a small town nearby which was suggested by my satnav. Much cheaper than the M6 rip off prices and always prefer giving my money over to local businesses :-) .

Had a lovely first shoot with Tryst today. Great communication in advance meant it was relaxed and fun from the start. Tryst is fun, open, positive and bubbling with creativity. Time passed so quickly we will need another shoot soon.

What a joy to work with! Tryst brought a huge amount of energy and ideas to our shoot. I left very happy with the results, including a few outdoor shots in a location that I'd been saving for the right time. Highly recommended.

Was delighted when I saw Tryst was back on the scene. This was my second shoot with her, done in my home city. Fantastic shoot again as was the conversation!

Looking to arrange another shoot soon at her own home location.

Had a wonderful time shooting with Tryst after a long hiatus. So glad my first shoot for such a long time was with her.

She is a fantastic model and well worth arranging a shoot with her, full of inspiration and creative ideas - a true muse.

Looking forward to hopefully arranging another shoot before too long.

As with previous occasions...I had a great shoot again with Tryst...

As usual she ad a great variety of outfits...and we chose to focus on 3 along with art nude shots...

Not only is she great at posing...as well as throwing ideas into the mix...she totally embraced the use of a trial with an RGB light I took along to the shoot...

Ive just completed one pic...but loads more sifted through from the shoot to work on...

Overall Tryst is reliable...great to work with...easy going...and would suit both newbies as well as seasoned photographers...

Highly Recommended...

Tryst's casting at the end of December was a surprise and one that I was compelled to reply, based on my last experience working with her. In short, three hours went by all too quickly in a beautiful exchange of creative ideas and some photographs I am really pleased with. I absolutely plan on working with her again soon.

As a photographer, finding a model who not only possesses a striking presence but also brings professionalism and dedication to a photoshoot is a true gem. Colleen is precisely that kind of model. I recently had the pleasure of working with her, and the experience was exceptional.

Firstly, Colleen's physical attributes are a photographer's dream. She has a beautiful figure that is versatile for various styles and themes. Her ability to pose is remarkable — she requires minimal direction yet understands the nuances of the camera and how to work with it to create stunning visuals.

During our intensive 3-hour session, we took over 1,000 photographs, and a majority of them are publication-worthy. This is a testament to Colleen's consistency in delivering quality poses and expressions throughout the session.

Punctuality and preparedness are key in this industry, and Colleen excelled in both. She arrived on time, ready to dive into the work. Moreover, she brought a suitcase full of clothing options, showcasing her understanding of the importance of variety and adaptability in fashion and modelling.

Beyond her modelling skills, Colleen is an absolute delight to work with. Throughout the shoot, we engaged in pleasant and enjoyable conversations. Her intelligence shines through in her thoughts and articulations, making the overall experience not just productive but also enjoyable.

In conclusion, I highly recommend Colleen for any modelling assignments. Her combination of beauty, professionalism, ability to pose, and engaging personality makes her an ideal choice for photographers looking to capture captivating images. She's not just a model; she's a valuable collaborator in the creative process.

Another fantastic and creative 1-2-1 afternoon covering various different ideas with the amazing Tryst at the Shapeshifter Studio in Warrington. Its been a while since we last worked together but I could not miss out on catching up with an old friend when she opened up her work diary again. Pre shoot comms were spot on as always and on the day Colleen battled various travel and weather challenges determined to get to the studio keeping me regularly updated on progress so I could adjust plans. Colleen came very well prepared with an amazing array of outfits that fitted both her style and look as well as the concepts we had discussed.

As always, Colleen had great patience with me as I set up and adjusted lighting set ups plus during the session. Colleen is genuinely a lovely person with so much drive, enthusiasm and passion about her craft. Throughout the shoot Colleen was full of bubbly positive “Can Do” vibe putting 110% effort into every shot, Colleen not only poses effortlessly but she has an amazing eye for the fine details ensuring she brings any concept to life with an amazing Wow factor.

I’ve said it before and I will continue to say it, if you are lucky enough to work with this amazing young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Very Highly recommended.

Thanks for your hard work, patience and assistance, Im looking forward to working on the other projects we discussed early in the new year including at your own countryside studio :)

Tryst is clearly passionate about modelling and is comfortable working in front of the camera at art-nude levels. We had a productive 3-hour shoot and she was patient as I agonised over lighting. Tryst can take direction when provided but is equally happy to move from pose to pose with elegance and suggest ideas to improve the shoot. Tryst is very professional, with good pre-shoot-communications and the desire to create good content. I hope to work with Tryst again in the future and would advise anybody if they get the opportunity to work with Tryst... take it!

So today I had a shoot with Tryst at her beautiful home in Cumbria.

I have been waiting to shoot with this wonderful and talented model since April this year, but unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances Tryst had to leave the UK to attend to some personal matters in her home country of Canada.

We had rescheduled for when Tryst returned to uk, but it was postponed until now.

So what can I say about this incredible woman. Tryst is kind, helpful, funny and a true professional of her craft.

Our shoot was over long afternoon and it was a wonderful day creating images and lots of chats about life.

We did several sets and Tryst was so helpful and patience.

She has a great attitude and love of her work. I really hope we work together again as I had such an incredible shoot.

And not to forget Tryst is a fantastic host, lunch and dinner was provided.

It was simply lovely. Well worth the wait !

Thank you

Tryst is absolutely incredible at what she does. (Which is more than I initially expected).

The shoot I had with her despite providing a difficult challenge to both myself and her completely surpassed my expectations. She was...

- Well prepared

- Asked plenty of questions to understand the requirements better

- Improvises flawlessly

- Collaborates brilliantly always with the original vision in mind

- Positive, excitable and loves to celebrate wins of any size

- Fearless in front of a camera

It was safe to say that I was so impressed by her and the shots we were getting we were practically planning the next shoot mid-way through this one. She hardly needs my recommendation but she has it nonetheless. I can't stop looking back at the images and the next shoot cannot come soon enough.

From about 10 seconds in, Tryst threw herself 100% into the shoot, a complete and utter posing machine! We worked in soft natural light, hard natural light and strobes - she adapted perfectly for each. Pretty, with a supersonic figure and that ability to naturally pose makes her a wonder model with whom to work.

We spent a bit of time in the car afterwards and she is wonderful company too! Intelligent, interesting, fun, a person with whom I could spend many hours and not notice.

Overall an amazing experience that I would repeat at the drop of a hat!

I had a wonderful shoot with Tryst.

She arrived well prepared, with a plethora of outfits and accessories. She was professional, friendly and able to pose beautifully both with and without direction.

I found her to be creative, sensitive, a bundle of energy, a force of nature and a delight to work with.

I am so pleased with the pictures from the shoot and would love to work with her again.

Highly recommended

A couple of days ago I had my first shoot with Tryst. Prior to the shoot I wasn't feeling very inspired but that all changed as soon as Tryst started moving from pose to pose with such beautiful and emotive grace that it is difficult to take a bad photograph of her. Every model brings something different to a shoot and what Tryst brings is rather special. She is full of good ideas and readily takes on suggestions.

Already we are talking about another project. Thankyou Tryst for such an inspiring shoot . I look forward to shooting with you again :)

I was so fortunate to work with Tryst during her tour in London. We shot at Space 63 for six hours. It was the most beautiful and intellectually rewarding shoot I’ve had to date.

Tryst, in my opinion, possesses the qualities that embody the perfect model and muse: graceful; energy; storyteller; intelligence; confidence; intrigue; creativity; sense of humour; ability to adapt; poetry; strength and unparalleled beauty inside and out. Tryst is an inspiration to me and though down to earth, she radiates a mystical aura I’ve never before encountered.

Although this was our first time working together, I feel we really paired as a photographer and model. Working with Tryst felt so right. We shot some really nice sets across fashion, fashion nude and art nude - I’m so proud of the results.

I truly hope this is the start of a long lasting partnership for creating art in its most beautiful form. 100/10.

Had my first shoot with Tryst during her recent London tour and it was a positive experience from start to finish. Pre-shoot comms were good, and Tryst arrived with the outfits I'd asked for. She really is a bundle of energy and threw herself wholeheartedly into the shoot, the result being images that I am very happy with.

Hopefully I will get to shoot her in her home area at some point, because I'm sure the results would be stunning. Thank you so much for a great shoot.

There are many factors outside of the image taking that contribute to the Image.

There are some that have some of these, this Young Lady has a ready supply of most (in my opinion)

Conviction, Passion, Intelligence, Imagination, Creativity, Personality are all part of the complex individual by the name of Tryst. She, by the way, is also visually Beautiful.

My First Contact was delightful tinged with awesome.

There will be more.
