What Others Say

MoonChild777model

I’ve had the pleasure of attending several events with Deana and the Atelier of Muses, and every single time has been nothing short of incredible.

From the unforgettable Sin & Spring to Haus of Serpent, the level of quality, creativity, and care put into each experience is truly unmatched.

Deana goes above and beyond—bringing in talented makeup artists and hair stylists, curating an extensive and unique wardrobe, and hosting everything in a stunning, expansive space that feels both inspiring and welcoming.

Every detail is thoughtfully considered, and it shows.

But what truly sets this experience apart is Deana herself. She is genuinely one of the best people I’ve ever met—kind, generous, endlessly supportive, and deeply passionate about uplifting other models.

Despite her success and years in the industry, she remains grounded, fun, and incredibly hardworking.

She’s not only a powerhouse creatively, but also a real inspiration on a human level.

I remember admiring her work from afar years ago, wishing I could collaborate with her one day. Now, having worked together multiple times, I feel incredibly grateful—and I truly hope we continue creating magic and sharing many more laughs together in the future.

I can’t recommend Atelier of Muses enough. It speaks for itself.

My fourth event with Atelier of Muses was yet another truly magical experience, and this event’s theme "The Mad Hatter's Tea Party" inspired by Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and it was absolutely unforgettable.

As always, Victoriah poured an incredible amount of hard work, passion, and creativity into every detail of the event, and it showed in every possible way. From the stunning sets and beautiful costumes to the talented makeup artist (Monica), wonderful models, and every creative element provided throughout the day, everything came together perfectly to create such an immersive and inspiring atmosphere.

The photographers were fantastic, and the entire day felt genuinely magical not only because everything looked so beautiful, but because the people themselves were equally beautiful, kind, welcoming, and full of creativity.

It was such a joyful environment where everyone could freely express themselves, create art together, and simply enjoy the experience.

Those are the kinds of events that stay with you long after they end.

I feel incredibly fortunate to already be booked for more upcoming events with Atelier of Muses over the coming months, and I truly cannot wait to return and create together again.

Victoriah is honestly one of the nicest people in the industry, not only because she is exceptionally talented, hardworking, and creative, but because she creates such an open, welcoming, and supportive space for everyone involved.

She gives people the freedom to express themselves and create in their own unique way, and that openness is a true reflection of who she is as a person: kind-hearted, genuine, inspiring, and truly beautiful inside and out.

Very highly recommended in every possible way, and I already look forward to the next event together.

It was a massive honour to be a part of the Atelier Of Muses recent Mad Hatter's Tea Party event at Berry Hill Studio. When Victoriah announced the theme I was delighted to be invited to model for it, and was super happy with the character she chose for me.

She took the models preferences into account and the casting was fantastic. Pre-comms were excellent as we were able to stay in touch in a group chat and Victoriah was on hand to answer any questions.

She worked alongside two fantastic set designers to make the venue come to life in the most magical way, and provided an abundance of props and costume options allowing the models and photographers to explore creatively.

I can see why Victoriah's events are so popular as she pours so much enthusiasm, joy and vitality into every venture and brings a unique positive energy and presence to the day.

I felt welcome, relaxed and energised, able to give 100% to the photographers I was working with. The results I've seen so far look fantastic, and I am really looking forward to the next project.

When you are still buzzing from a shoot two days later you know that it was something special.

This is the case of the shoot I had with The Atelier of Muses Summer event hosted by Victoriah and working along another four wonderful models.

Taking place in the absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous location of The Berry Hill studio.

Upon arrival I was greeted so kindly by the entire team, and had some incredible make up done by the talented Monica. The whole set up and vibe of the shoot felt like a beautiful ensemble.

Victoriah is a complete wonder woman and truly one of the loveliest, kind and most artistic people one can meet.

She organized this event so beautifully, while also stepping in as a photographer, model and making sure everyone was fed and taken care off at all times.

I honestly never have seen a group event that runs so smoothly and has such a truly inspiring and creative atmosphere from start to finish.

I can't recommend the Atelier of Muses high enough both to models and photographers. It's a unique one of a kind experience and is one you have to witness.

Thank you for a truly magical experience and certainly hope to work with you again 🙂

Was my second time modelling for Victoriah's amazing events. The first one "spring and sinners" and the second "the mad hatters tea party"

Both events had tonnes of consideration to the theme, costumes, styling etc.

Whilst both were incredible I was particularly impressed with the Mad Hatter event with a set designer, DJ playing some amazing psytrance tunes too. Not only does Victoriah ensure we have lots of breaks and are well fed throughout the day, she is a hilarious and fun person to spend time with too.

I'm so delighted to have modelled for such gorgeous events and looking forward to working on more.

I was left both times totally buzzing and on that "creative high" afterwards. Cannot sing Victoriah's praises more, she is superwoman!

10000% recommended by me!

I attended both events, on 9th and 10th of August.

Victoriah organised them in a perfect way, both locations and all attending models were great. You experience the knowledge of Victoriah as a model of many years in the way she planned the shooting periods with sensible pauses as well as food and drinks.

Where modelling and organising are complete different working areas, Victoriah manages to combine them in a fine, easygoing way. I look forward to more events from this talented model/organiser.

I recently attended the Atelier of Muses Mad Hatters Tea Party event and had a great time.

Victoriah had clearly put a lot of thought into the event, and it paid off handsomely: a great model line-up perfectly styled, and with a series of terrific sets in a private location that allowed everyone to express their creativity.

Even the weather played ball. It was a relaxed, enjoyable and very productive day.

Many thanks to Victoriah and everyone involved in making this a very successful event.
