The Attic Studio

Winona was at our studio for a booking with a local photographer. Arrived ready for the shoot with a massive case of outfits for the tog to choose from. From our waiting area you could hear that the shoot was going well. Professional and hard working, Winona was a pleasure to have in the studio.

Would love to have there again and work with to, a true gem. Look forward to seeing the images. Thanks again.

This booking was made several weeks in advance. Nearer the shoot day, communications were going to and from. Winona had ideas and I had a few too. Before the shoot, Winona had said that she wasn’t feeling too confident and I couldn’t wait to take up the challenge and hopefully make her feel different.

She turned up on time with the biggest collection of lingerie I’ve ever seen! I was gobsmacked and excited too.

After a drink and a chat going over our ideas, Winona got changed and appeared in her first outfit. She looked fantastic!

Winona posed well and took direction with ease.

Her outfit changes were very quick.

We had a lot of chit chat and a lot of fun.

Winona has a great personality and a lovely smile, oh and all the curves in the right places!

It was a very enjoyable shoot and we are already making plans for a second shoot.

Highly recommended.

And finally, many thanks for trusting me with this shoot. x

We had our second shoot in almost as many days, following discussions at the first shoot we both wanted to try a couple of different things we didn't get chance.

The primary concept was the 'milk bath' which we did with great success following a small on location 'Graffiti' Shoot and some lingerie boudoir shots.

Winona is easy to get on with and has some great pose's that come across great on the camera. Pre and Post communications were excellent and I look forward to collaborating again with her in the uk and wish her every success in her modelling career.

If you get the chance I would 100% work with Winona......Thank you!

We had an amazing shoot today,

The shoot flowed from start to finish and the great set of images we created were a tribute to Winona's professionalism and style. Each outfit was carefully considered each of which were perfect for her body type.

Despite the early start for the sunrise over the sea, which turned into a sunrise over clouds, we continued at the location and found some great backgrounds to shoot against. Once the location shoot was finished we continued with Lingerie and even some hottub photos (to come soon!)

Had a very enjoyable morning and would highly recommend, it was 8 months since her last shoot and it was like she had never had any time away.

Thanks again, always good to shoot with a non-local!

Winona,

Hard to believe its been 3 years since we first worked together. Knowing she's seldom in Scotland was a bit of a shock to get the call to shoot, and I jumped at the chance.

Winona is a very hard working model, open to discussion, well prepared, friendly, professional. And every shoot we've done the weathers gone sour, yet she was undeterred.

I am always pleased with the results we get together, and in no small part a testament to everything she contributes in her part to a shoot.

Next time she's in town? wont miss the opportunity.

I had a great day shooting with Winona.

Pre shoot communication was excellent.

She turned up looking flawless and ready to shoot with a suitcase full of goodies.

Winona was happy to go with the flow and my crazy ideas too!

We did so many different styles and she is so enthusiastic and easy going it made for a great relaxed and productive day.

She takes direction well but doesn't need it much and is very professional and hard working. Great Bone structure and amazing gray blue eyes, all in all very photogenic.

Time flies when you are having fun and it seemed to go so quickly. I could definitely have kept shooting.

Thanks Winona for working with me, I had a blast and I'm really happy with what we have created together. I hope we can do this again sometime. Cx

Had my first shoot with the ever-so lovely Winona on Sunday.

What a lovely young lady indeed, quietly spoken but full of energy and enthusiasm.

Pre-shoot comms were spot on - polite, informative and timely.

She arrived on-time and ready to go.

She's fun to work with, eager to try new things and produces great results.

Certainly looking to work with her more in the future.

Thanks for a great afternoons shooting Winona.

Pre shoot communications with Winona were easy, prompt and informative giving me complete confidence that I was dealing with a professional. On the day Winona turned up early, ready and keen to shoot; we had discussed in brief what outfits were going to be suitable and she by far exceeded my expectations for choice and style. We chatted throughout the shoot with ease, Winona has a lovely personality, she is friendly and interesting to talk with all whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. It is clear that she has experience in modelling as she took direction patiently and with understanding but also added her own ideas throughout. All in all working with Winona was an enjoyable and fruitful experience I would definitely recommend her to others and hope that I am lucky enough to work with her again sometime soon. X

Great pre shoot comms, Winona arrived with loads of stuff, and was extremely well prepared for the shoot, make up was to professional standard throughout the day.

Winona is a very pleasant young lady, likeable, very easy to get along with, and chatty, very photogenic, and extremely cheap to run - only drinks water (and brings her own!) and doesn't eat biscuits either ( I had to eat hers for her though :), as you do!)

Winona takes direction well, is very professional, the time flew by, but we managed to cover about 5ish sets, Winona is a hard worker, and I can thoroughly recommend working with her. All in all, a very pleasant afternoon - we created some great imagery.

love to do it all again.

I had my first ever shoot with Winona. We were planning to shoot from quite some time, but it finally happened recently, her communications skills are good so she keeps you inform of any changes, plus some one reliable who can actually respond to messages, She is good at taking directions, and was willing to help towards a good shot.

I would recommend her to any one.

Looking forward to work with her in future.

Porlus

Winona sent a message re a 50 Shades orientated shoot she wanted to do.

Pre-comms were great. Winona put mood boards together and knew what she wanted from the shoot. We tried different male models to partner her on the shoot then she found Earl of Essex who was ready and willing to shoot.

We had a really good shoot, overcoming the initial shyness that you get when strangers meet and need to look 'together' but Winona and the quite-new Earl, soon got comfortable and into the theme.

I went more for a female dominant character during the shoot, mainly due to bad press surrounding the movie/books and I didn't want Winona's hard research and ideas, to be cast in the same shadow as the other mediums.

Winona was great, she threw in great ideas and followed direction and we got some great shots. Now I need to get them processed...

I would recommend any photog to work with her, she's committed and great to work with.

Earl of Essex

Arrived at location which was a bit tricky to find but on time none the less, fully prepared with everything necessary brought along outfits makeup props the lot, we had a 50 shades theme shoot in various 'locations' within the studio. Had a good time and good laugh, would work again with Winnie absolutely. The photographer Porlus was also great and quick to set up and adapt lighting settings to get the right shots, time was used very well. Looking forward to seeing the results! Thanks :)

Auburn

Had a first shoot with Winona applying make-up. Winona has lovely skin and was easy to talk to. Had many different style of clothing to match the make-up I applied. Hope to work with her again in the future. Thank You :)

Gipping Valley

Had a great shoot with Winona. Excellent communications and a very positive attitude. Winona had a last minute and unavoidable work appointment, which meant she was a little later than we both had anticipated, but she let me know in the best time possible, kept me well informed and turned up when I suspect many would have cancelled instead.

We worked through a few ideas for Winona and for our MUA Auburn. All in all, very happy as they both put up with my awful humour and constant faffing about. I just hope they are happy with the results.

I arranged for Winona to arrive at a derelict site for a group shoot. She was prompt and very easy to get on with. I've been wanting to shoot with her for a while and it was the ideal opportunity for us both.

When Winona arrived we did a quick site tour as we would be shooting in low light/darkness (H&S) ;)

After this we did a few shots before the group arrived to see how the light was in the area and get some ideas of good locations for the shoots.

Winona was happy to go along with my and other photographers suggestions and fit in with the group very well. We had a laugh along the way and both came away with some great shots for our portfolio.

I truly recommend Winona for a shoot if you get the opportunity then book a slot!

How on earth do I say thank you to you Winona, well here goes trying to...

Winona responded to a very very late casting call to get my out of a large pickle with a workshop I had organised. I was expecting to have to just grab someone and pray that they were good enough for the beginners level workshop I had created for a group of togs that wanted to learn studio shooting. The casting was responded by a handful of people, I was hoping for more..... Little did I know at the time, I really had nothing to panic about. After choosing and confirming with Winona all communication went better than I could have asked for. GOD! Winona even went out of her way and came round the evening of the casting and discussed it with me in person to settle my worries.

She took on board what i needed, which I might add was alot! She went home and organised herself with the right outfits, looks, make-up and posing.

She committed to the workshop like she had been in it from the beginning. Arrived well within time to start, and the work load she did was jaw dropping. She modeled for a very long length of time as the workshop over ran by quiet a bit and never complaining once. She even added her own thoughts into the workshop, which was most welcome and the togs took on board what she was saying.

Her posing was great and was confident enough to look to me for support when needed. Her standards of make-up were brilliant and her choices of outfits were wonderful.

Considering the little time she had to prepare, outstanding effort from Winona meant that the workshop was a total success.

I can not thank Winona enough for jumping into the breach like she did and committment was commendable.

Would I recommend her for a shoot?

If what I have written above is not evidence enough, I don't know what is. Winona, thankyou for saving my bacon, and I am at your beck and call for a studio shoot whenever you want it my dear. What an outstanding model. What a star!

Despite me having to cancel our original booking due to having a bad case of man flu (and feeling sorry for myself). We did manage to shoot, Winnie was amazing and also despite fighting her own cold she was very determined and it didn't seem to dampen her spirits or her ability in any way.

Truly amazing in every way, she's bubbly and fun to be around. I would highly recommend booking a date to shoot with Winona, she was up for any ideas I threw at her and no pose or stance was too much for her. Would love to arrange another shoot soon and try to aim for something completely different.

Had the pleasure of shooting with Winona for the first time last Saturday. And I am surprised how come I never worked with her before ..... An excellent communicator prior to the shoot, loves to discuss ideas and prepare for the shoot ..... This is something I haven't seen even in some of the established models ..... And on shoot .... She is such an adorable person, that you could shoot her for the whole day ...... Loved working every minute with her ..... You are a star in the making Winona ..... Will be looking forward to shoot with you again soon ........ San

She's a cracking bird. Wonder what She looks like with a rocket in her hands? A missile that is. Anyway. We had a laugh and made some lovely photo's. I have plenty more ideas I'd like this wee lass to be involved in. Highly recommended. Was good seeing and working with you again Winston. Until next time :) x

This wonderful lady gave me my first group photo shoot opportunity. Though I didn't get chance to work with Winona I got to see her produce endless quality shoots with class and ease. I would love to work with Winona in the future and I 100% recommended her to any photographer!
