model headshotsAmanda is incredibly skilled and easy going! Although her style is very recognisable she loves trying something new, I loved working with her as she was funny, supportive and fast pase which I loved! Very professional and gave me feedback on all of the best shots, always checked if I was okay with the location and positioning, made me feel comfortable at all times, 100% recommend her if you want to look super pretty in your pictures!!! Didn’t pressure me at all, and made sure I was okay at all times due to my cold! Excited to see what our next work together will create! See Esme’s full headshot photoshoot here

    I would STRONGLY recommend Amanda, you honestly won’t find anyone better.

    Amanda is an incredibly skilled photographer on the Isle of Wight! She really is a gem. I have been wanting some great portraits of myself for a while now and could not find the right photographer to do it until I met Amanda. She understood right away what I was after and put a lot of efforts to ensure my needs were met. She is the first photographer I met with such an expertise for portraits. Her level of awareness to details is incredible. Everyone complimented me on my pictures. Amanda is also very friendly! I look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you Amanda !

    Hi Amanda,
    You are obviously more than a professional photographer, clearly, you must add the fact that you are also a Psychic as I have a new video from a Psychic to help me on my way, how can I go wrong with such powerful assistance? Many thanks from a very grateful learner.

    I am lost for words from these beautiful photos of Macie , she really does not look 14 years old, and so mature and grown up , Amanda Herbert Photography invited Macie into her studio at her home, made us a drink and chatted to us to get to know us a little and about her ideas for the shoot and what she wanted, she was so very clear on what she had in mind and what style she wanted and what Macie should wear and do, only make up was mascara and nude lip gloss , her communication with Macie was very good and professional and made Macie feel so at ease , and her instructions are were very clear , Macie learnt a lot from the day and gained more modelling experience, before we knew it we had been there over 3 hours , she was a so easy to work with, her creativity was superb and stylish , we really enjoyed it , anyone looking for a great photographer take a look on her website it is impressive, thank you Manda for asking Macie to be your model, we hope to see you again soon ❤️👏 this is a girl whom lacks confidence in herself yet is a natural in front of a camera, if you believe you can achieve.

  8. Needed a photo done quickly says

    September 25, 2020 at 10:58 am

    When I came to you I was thinking I wanted to get it over quickly but by showing me the photos
    as we went along I realized I was going to be able to have a far better portrait than I’d ever had before. This meant then I wanted to take time. One of the most helpful things I took away, apart from a lovely author photo, was the tips you gave me on how to stand etc. I had to do another short video and I used the standing slightly at an angle and putting my head forward as you’d told me and it looked so much better.

    I would like to thank the photographer Amada Herbert Amanda Herbert Photography , a friendly, very skilled photographer who specializes in individual portrait, particularly for camera shy women. I met Amanda yesterday and we did a distanced shoot at Appley. I have never done this before, was pretty nervous (!) but she was great, and the previews of the photos have far exceeded my expectations, thank you xx

  12. Needed a professional photo done says

    September 1, 2020 at 2:35 pm

    It was a really good experience. I hate having my photo taken and so I chose Amanda as she said she liked working with camera-shy women. she was friendly, helpful and I am so pleased with the photos. it shows with a bit of thought, being posed properly, and taken by a professional, anyone can have a perfectly nice photo taken, i’d like more women to have a chance to do it. xxx

    Mandy is an incredible photographer. She made me feel totally at ease which obviously helped with getting some beautiful images. Mandy was great at picking the best spots on the farm for the pictures. I never thought I’d get pictures likes this! I thought I’d be too shy to do a shoot but I honestly didn’t feel nervous around Mandy at all! Check out her page and if you are island-based and want pictures taken then I can’t recommend her enough! Me, my family and friends are just in love with the pictures!

    It is really nice to have some up to date headshots!! And it was nice to work with you. In the past I’ve struggled with getting natural looking pictures with previous photographers but from my photos I think you’ve captured me extremely well looking really natural and at ease. Thanks!

  18. Model Portfolio | Home Studio says

    January 25, 2020 at 6:20 pm

    Amanda welcomed me into her warm home with a smile and a cup of tea. She spent time getting to know me before the shoot and she put a lot of effort in getting to know what I would like to gain from the experience. She made me feel comfortable and at ease which made me relax during the shoot. She was open and honest about her experiences and expectations. She gave me lots of direction which enabled us to create some pretty awesome images. She also gave me the option to just ‘shoot’ if that’s what I wanted but her experience and knowledge really helped to me to get some good shots for my portfolio. I would highly recommend Amanda for her kindness, honestly and ability to make a model feel relaxed.

    Amanda was also great with communication, both before and during the shoot. She described exactly what we were going to do, which made my job super easy!

    I also really loved how Amanda approached the location and the given light. She has a great eye for detail and is great at capturing the right moments. I’m excited to see the results!

    July 18, 2015 at 11:42 am

    Had a shoot today with Mandy, she was in my area for the weekend and had got in touch with me to shoot during that time – I was very flattered to be the person she chose to contact, a big compliment for me.

    Lots of pre-shoot communications which was brilliant, Mandy has lots of guides to help prepare for the day, which is something I’ve not seen before and is FANTASTIC for people who’ve never modelling before. She’s brilliant at directing and knows exactly what looks good where – something I’m used to just freestyling! I definitely learnt a few things!

    The shoot went fast but I feel we got a lot done in the time, lots of natural shots then also some darker ideas that Mandy wanted to try that suited my dark look, everything looked amazing on the back of the camera.

    I’ve had one edit through this evening and I was hand on heart over the moon with it, it is absolutely beautiful, the editing technique is outstanding and I just know I’m going to be in love with the ones I get back.

    Mandy is a lovely person, very attentive and kind natured with an obvious passion for her art. I’m so glad we had the chance to shoot and can’t wait to see more!

    Thank you so much xxx

    It was great to working with Mandy.

    She knows how to approach the person and direct her very well,

    what is really important for the photographer.

    Beside that she had real nice personality.

    If you want someone nice and professional at the same time to work with then that would be Mandy.

    Mandy and I worked together in a beautiful Portsmouth beach this afternoon. Pre-comms were perfect and the shoot was highly enjoyable. Mandy’s ability to use the light on a bright day and create beautiful results was amazing, and on top of that she was wonderful company, and even bought me a beautiful early birthday present! She took on my ideas but was well-prepared with sketches and screen-shots of her own. Very highly recommended and I hope to work with her again in the future.

    I had the pleasure working with Mandy on Saturday and from the start she made me feel welcome and at ease. She was friendly and very easy to talk to. She helped me a lot with all her tips and little tricks about posing. I really enjoyed working through her ideas and I love the result. Communication before the shoot was excellent and I knew excatly what to expect on the day. I highly recommend her!

    Thank you so much for everything Mandy!

    I had a shoot with Mandy yesterday at her home studio and had an absolutely amazing time, she knew how to direct and gave good advice on using facial expressions as well as better shoulder posing and then I saw the images and I absolutely fell in love with them. I would highly recommend her for anyone that would like to shoot with an amazing photographer

    It was such a joy to work with Mandy earlier today. She is extremely professional and an absolute delight to work with. Creativity was constantly flowing, and her energy before, during, and after the shoot really gave me confidence, helped me loosen up, and just made me so comfortable around her. I highly recommend Mandy, not only was she so great to work with, but her knowledge and expertise really taught me a lot as well. Thanks again, Mandy, for being so lovely and friendly! I hope to be able to work with you again.

    When first looking at Mandy’s portfolio it stuck me that she has her own style which is so simple and elegant. I loved the look of her photos straight away! Communication and organisation was really really great with image ideas, how to get to locations, photos of the meeting places. Absolutely everything I usually check myself was all there from Mandy! On the shoot it was great to see Mandy playing around with new techniques and some creative ideas. Of course most importantly Grace got the results as well with a beautiful image straight away! I would definitely love to work with Mandy again.

    Amanda is such a great photographer! She’s very friendly and easy to talk to. Sadly when we did our shoot it was rather cold, so I asked to cut the shoot short so that I could warm up. Other than it being cold it was absolutely wonderful, she’s very direct with how she wants her model to pose which I thought was great and I learned a lot from my shoot with her!

    Would give more that 5 stars if I could! The whole experience from start to finish was just perfect. Before my shoot I received loads of handy tips on what to wear and how to pose in front of the camera which was so helpful. On the day of the shoot I felt like the whole day was catered towards me. Any nerves were quickly reassured with Amanda’s professional and friendly approach. Her vast knowledge of photography and modelling poses meant we got some great shots that I cannot wait to see properly! Thankyou Mandy for a great day. What a genuinely kind and talented lady!

    February 28, 2015 at 8:34 am

    This was my first ever photoshoot, and I honestly wouldn’t have wished to have been photographed by anybody else! Amanda made me feel so comfortable, and we were laughing the whole way through. Considering I had only met her the day of the shoot, she made me feel as though I had known her for years! In addition to this, I rarely like photos of myself, but I have to admit (without seeming too vain) I loved nearly every single photo! Definitely recommend for a fun, amazing experience – as well as some great professional photos!!

  73. Photos to send to my family | East London says

    February 28, 2015 at 8:15 am

    My experience with Amanda…

    I’m Spanish and I’ve been living in London for a year and now is time to go back to Spain.

    When I came to London I met some girls and they had amazing pictures on their Facebook, I asked them about the photographer and they told me her name: Amanda Herbert

    I started to see her pictures and I became to be really interested, because only with the pictures of the differents models I could imagine their lives and I could see their feelings… Only a brilliant photographer can show feelings in the pictures and Amanda is absolutely one of them!

    I met with her in a really cold afternoon this month, I was so exited… She was so kind with me all the week before the day….giving me advice and listening to all my doubts, basically helping me with everything.

    The day of the session I felt so comfortable with her, she made me feel like a princess, and she helped me look my best. I could see in her eyes that she really loves photography and that is the most important thing.

    She spent many hours with me, in a cold day, with a lot of patience…

    Now I’ve seen the pictures and she’s shown me just how I am. She is a professional but also she is a brilliant person who can see your soul and capture it in a photo.

    I’m so glad, and I would like recommend her if you are thinking in take a session.

    Thank you for capturing my soul, Amanda.

    I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Amanda for a photo shoot! I am usually quite a nervous, shy person but she was very chatty and made me feel at ease really quickly! I was worried I wouldn’t know what to do in terms of poses but she came up with great ideas and suggestions! Really happy with the results!

    I had a wonderful and productive shoot with Amanda! She was super organised and knew exactly what she wanted, but also allowed for spontaneous creativity.

    Amanda was also great with communication, both before and during the shoot. She described exactly what we were going to do, which made my job super easy!

    I also really loved how Amanda approached the location and the given light. She has a great eye for detail and is great at capturing the right moments. I’m excited to see the results!

    Highly recommended!

    Amanda is incredibly skilled and easy going! Although her style is very recognisable she loves trying something new, I loved working with her as she was funny, supportive and fast pase which I loved! Very professional and gave me feedback on all of the best shots, always checked if I was okay with the location and positioning, made me feel comfortable at all times, 100% recommend her if you want to look super pretty in your pictures!!! Didn’t pressure me at all, and made sure I was okay at all times due to my cold! Excited to see what our next work together will create!

    Today I met Amanda for the first time and had a photo shoot at Puck pool park, on the strangely sunny Isle of Wight today! Amanda made me feel confident and at ease around her, I was very nervous at first but as soon as we got started I knew straight away she was pro! We had a great laugh and despite the wind and my snuffly nose, I had a brilliant day out, would defiantly recommend, really easy to work with, it was a pleasure and I would love to do it another time!

    Thank you so much for this amazing photoshoot Amanda.

    You are an amazing photographer with an exceptional personality which actually helped me relax and feel at ease during the session.

    Amanda is a dedicated photographer, she is well equipped and prepares an extraordinary set in the outdoors. She checks that everything is in the right place but also makes sure that your true self is put forward. You definitely see her talent as the photoshoot progress, how she knows what pose would bring the best out of you and takes all the time required to make you fabulous. She is also someone who can make you laugh if she wants to with her own laughing and this reminds one that it’s fun to just laugh.
    Moreover, it’s wonderful how she explains to you how the light is important or how your posture is as well important as we would not notice that by ourselves.
    Facial expression is also important and she has got what it takes to capture it.
    I personally had a wonderful time getting to know a talented and very kind person today and even if it was cold, it was a one experience because Amanda orchestrated it as such 🙂
    Thank you again 🙂

    AMAZING – Such a nice session and such a nice person to work with! She made being front of the camera very comfortable, relaxed yet professional. The main thing I liked about her working style was the fact she let me discover poses but as well guided me, it felt very natural rather than working with photographers who say exactly what to do. High quality work with high quality results – well done!

    I did a outdoor shoot with Mandy a few weeks ago now on the Isle of Wight, it was my first proper shoot and you know what I’ve never felt so comfortable or confident in my life! Mandy is such a lovely lady, so positive and ideas popping all I’ve the place. She explains exactly what she’s doing and honestly is so complimentary it’s untrue. I would recommend her to anyone. The photos where pure genius! The day was fun and we laughed pretty much the entire day, bar posing off corse which Mandy taught me to do! The photos are natural and beautiful.

    I spend the afternoon with Amanda close to Bethnal Green station and she took some beautiful pictures of me. I was really intimidated at first because I never was a model in a photoshoot, I am small and curvy but I was delighed of the results, I will recommend her to anyone, she’s very kind and listen to her model’s expectations. I highly recommend working with Amanda as it was truly a delight for me.

    I had a photo shoot with Amanda in February as I was wanted some more pictures in my portfolio as well as some to keep. Before we meet Amanda sent me some very useful guides on what to wear and some simple camera friendly positions which were very helpful. Before the photo shoot Amanda asked me what type of pictures I wanted, which she achieved perfectly. Amanda was great at giving me direction and making me feel comfortable and relaxed. I am very happy with the photos and would highly recommend Amanda.

    My experience working with Mandy has been brilliant and I am delighted with the photographs she took of me. She made me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. I was so at ease I felt like I had known Mandy much longer then our actual introduction that morning for the photo shoot. She knows which shots she wants to get for you to show you at your best and she knows quite quickly when she’s got them. She provided guidance and direction prior to the shoot and she was very prepared and professional on the day. All in all a great experience! I highly recommend her work and I am really pleased with the photographs she took of me.

    I recently had a session with Mandy to create images for a portfolio and for actors head shots. Mandy sent a lot of information before the session, which made the preparation a lot less stressful! The session was great (for someone that hates having their photo taken) Mandy has a way of making you feel relaxed with fun and inventive ways to create the best pictures. I was very happy with my time with Mandy and the photos I received after the session were great. I would recommend Amanda Herbert Photography and will certainly use Mandy again in the future.

I have come across Amanda Herbert’s portfolio, then I said: This is indeed one of a Photographer I would love to work with, as I did like her sense of a photographer, with wealth of Ideas. The location she chose just did me justice too, she did add great lovely photos to me, beside she was very professional and on the Ball. I will definitely recommend her to any one who is looking for very good quality of photos. Fabio Abraham

    Had a brilliant 3 hours location shoot with Mandy yesterday, I arrived feeling very nervous as Mandy seems very sophisticated in her e-mails & since I haven’t had a shoot in a very long while, I was unsure of whether or not I’ll be able to make a positive impression. I stood corrected when I arrived as Mandy was far from condescending; instead she was very pleasant & gave me lots of compliments that boosted my self-esteem. Judging by the preview of the shots that I’ve seen so far, I can tell that the outcome of shoot was a very positive one, and I can’t wait to see the rest of the photographs. I highly recommend Amanda Herbert’s professional services & I hope to get another opportunity to do a shoot with Mandy again one day.

I Contacted Amanda Herbert’s Photography Earlier On This Year And Was Very Elated When I Got An Opportunity To Work With The Warm-Hearted Amanda On A Location Shoot. Amanda Was Able To Come Up With A Great Location For The Shoot; She Was Able To Work With Me On Picking Poses, Ideas And Themes For The Shoot. Amanda Made Me Feel Very Relaxed Throughout The Shoot. She Bequeathed Out Some Genuine Compliments That Made Me Feel Great About Myself, Made Me Feel Confident, And Made Me Feel Beautiful. I Feel Blessed To Have Had The Opportunity To Work With Such An Amazing Photographer At This Early Stage Of My Modelling Journey. My Shoot With Amanda Was One That I’ll Remember For A Very Long Time.

    May 12, 2013 at 6:37 am

    I felt a bit nervous and awkward about having my photos taken but Amanda totally put me at ease. She helped me prepare for the session with good advice and once we had chosen to use Battersea Park she made sure that she had already found some great places around the park for shooting.

    On the day of the shoot it was raining but Amanda was able to adapt the plan and got some beautiful, natural pictures while we had lots of fun. She had great tips for how to sit and position myself for the best photos, however she was also keen to make sure that I got the style of photos that I wanted. Throughout the session we reviewed the photos to see what worked and she checked that I was happy with how they were turning out – which I was!

    I have never seen such lovely photos of myself and can’t recommend Amanda highly enough.

    I had the pleasure of have done an photo shoot session with Amanda two mondays ago and I’m still enjoying it. I contacted with her because somebody told that she was looking for models to test out a new lens and I offered me as a volunteer and she said yes. I never did a photo shoot session like this before and I couldnt feel more confident and more happy with her (and I was knowing her in person this day!), and of course I enjoyed too much the session. Only for that I can recomend her, but that insnt it! After she sent me the pictures and see how popular are they being between my friend I have to say that she is awesome! And is not a simply model session, because a friend of mine told me that the thing that he likes the most of the Amanda Herbert’s photos is the fact that she captured me in every single picture, he said that there is a lot of me in every photo and, in my opinion, thats the best thing that you could ask in a photo shoot session, specially if you dont know the photographer from before. Amanda Herbert, congratulations foro your fantastic work and you profesionality!!

    Very enjoyable day shooting with Mandy! Considering I am not that experienced Mandy gave me the confidence to be more open and experimental with my poses.. This was achieved by explaining to me what works best with what light/background.. And I really appreciated the feedback throughout the session aswell as her enthusiasm to create fun and expressive photos.. Her bubbly and friendly nature was very contagious overall I felt it was a really successful photoshoot and am very much looking forward to seeing the outcome thanks again Mandy, Lydia

    I would highly recommend Mandy as a London photographer. She is naturally friendly and welcoming making you feel so at ease. Not only does Mandy have an eye for what will work for the camera and you, giving easy to follow directions, while also allowing you to experiment with your own moves. The end resulting in beautiful photos that I am more than happy with.

    Hi Amanda, I want to thank you again for the fantastic day I had the other day. I was really nervous because I was expecting a very serious person, but when I met you and we started to talk I felt really good. You are absolutely professional and very very nice person. I felt really comfortable and confident because of you and your sympathy. I hope you like the pictures and you are happy with the work, even with our bad luck at the end of the day. It was a shame to stop. I already love my photo, thanks a lot and I will recomend you everyone!

    I collaborated with Mandy for her portrait session in London. She has fantastic, bubbly personality. Her work method and how she put the nervous model at ease so professional. She gives lots of simple directions and makes you laugh. She takes images what you will hang on your wall.

    I shot with Mandy just last weekend and can’t recommend her highly enough! It’s not often you find such professionalism, good eye for lighting and composition, kind direction, and general good fun all bundled into one.

  128. Model's portfolio says

    March 25, 2013 at 1:21 pm

    Mandy works as a true professional with a friend’s attitude. She gives great direction and knows just how to achieve the most beautiful lighting and composition. At the same time, she’s fun, kind, and eager to experiment with new ideas. I shot with her last weekend and am so pleased with the results. She can really bring out the best in a person and a scene, knows not to over-process the shots, and is generous and timely in her delivery. Thanks so much Mandy! You’re a gem 🙂

    It was great working with Mandy and I’m really happy with the results! She’s very professional; gives great direction but also explores new ideas. Besides, she’s a really fun and lovely person to work with! The photos are coming out great and, all in all, I would love to work with her again. Do book a day with her if you can – I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thanks Mandy!

    I assisted Amanda on a shoot, photographing two young girls in Victoria Park. Amanda was very professional, and had amazing techniques to make the girls at ease and to get the best possible photographs she could. Would definitely recommend her.

    March 9, 2013 at 8:29 am

    My daughters have had their photos taken so many times, but I’ve never come across a photographer who managed to capture their personalitys as well as Amanda!!

    Her clever ways to get the girls to smile naturally really work & I’m so happy with the finished images that I can’t stop looking at them 🙂 Kelly

    We met with Amanda last week in Victoria Park. Amanda was lovely with our two young children and we got some amazing natural shots of the kids as well as us as a family. She is a fantastic photographer, who is able to catch character and fun in her shots. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a relaxed photo session with professional results.

    February 5, 2013 at 5:28 pm

    We had a family photoshoot with Amanda this weekend and what a fantastic experience that was! Amanda did an amazing job with our two small children directing them in a clear and fun way, she didn’t rush anyone and was highly professional. The preview shots we saw looked super and we know we will have some memories to treasure. I would highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a photographer, you won’t be disappointed!

    It was great working with Mandy, she had patience with me and make me feel comfortable. We had a laugh with the lights flying everywhere and still managed to get some great shots. Would defo recommend her for someone who is building up a portfolio or just simply want some lovely portraits. Hope to work with you again soon xx

    I collaborated Mandy with one of her portrait shoot in Barbican and I can tell, she work style and personality brings the people at ease. She gives so great instruction what easy to follow and also she knows lots of tricks to get the most out of someone. Looking at her images, I truly believe her talent and I highly recommend Mandy.

  140. Hemel Hempstead says

    January 13, 2013 at 6:03 pm

    our fotoshoot with mandy was great fun and you feel like a professional model! From the minute you meet her you feel comfortable and you also learn how to pose so you look perfectly on your pictures. She chose such a great spot to take our photos and has a really good eye for everything which makes it totally worth working with her.
    Thank you for this great experience Mandy!

  141. Battersea says

    January 13, 2013 at 6:02 pm

    I’ve had the most amazing photoshoot with Mandy, she really knows what she’s doing, starting from how to make people comfortable to creating the best angles. She is a very lovely person, I can only recommend her. It was fun and the results are amazing!

  142. Hamstead Heath Session says

    January 4, 2013 at 9:22 am

    Hi Amanda, Thank you for processing them so quickly. There is literally about 30 that I adore! It’s been impossible to choose! Thank you for taking such beautiful photos, HH.

  143. Sara GP says

    November 24, 2012 at 10:23 am

    I can highly recommend Amanda! We were trying to get a group shot. I thought we’d be lucky to get one good shot of all us. Not only is it difficult to get four people to look good in a shot but to get the same four people to agree on it, I thought would be impossible. Amanda managed it with ease. There are multiple pictures we can use and we all enjoyed the experience (and there were a few of us who aren’t keen on having our photos taken).

  144. Jasmine says

    November 22, 2012 at 6:16 pm

    I have worked with Amanda twice now and on both occasions I have found her to be professional, creative and personable. I was delighted with the results of both photo shots and I would not hesitate to recommend Amanda for photography work.

  145. Sara OC says

    November 10, 2012 at 9:03 am

    I don’t like having my photo taken, but was setting up a new company and all the directors were being photographed together. The group shots were fun and easy with Mandy keeping all four of us relaxed, but then the other three insisted we do individual head shots. Despite my usual awkward and hideousness in photos, Mandy managed to take the best head shots I’ve ever had – and I’m so grateful. Thank you, Mandy!

  146. Barbara says

    October 21, 2012 at 9:44 pm

    It was new and really great experience for me. You are so natural, helpful and friendly. I love the way how you make the photos. After your advice, I felt calm, comfortable and not shy. Thanks a lot for such a lovely time with you. Barbara

  147. Eszter says

    October 21, 2012 at 5:26 pm

    The whole day was amazing with you. You helped us not to feel shy, the whole photoshoot was so easy and free. The photos are so natural. No photoshop, no other girl on the photos, I mean I can recognize myself. Thanks Eszter

    October 10, 2012 at 10:06 pm

She really needs to know how much talent she has with what she does, i would… and the model would feel confident working with Mandy as we know the outcome will always amaze us.
