“I wanted to celebrate 60 yrs in this body by being a part of Abigail’s Bare Men series. So I brought an old tired body with a soft mid section, thinning hair and a penis that shrunk like it was in cold weather to our photo shoot. But her professionalism helped me focus on the objective. We worked on every corner of a city roof top and an amazing Plant filled Greenhouse, which she brought to my attention. Her eye, her vision, her creativity really allowed us to get so many quality captures that I had a difficult time selecting a favorite. I had such a positive experience that I want to work with her again. Post shoot I find myself inspired to create more imagery. Modeling for Abigail’s Bare Men project was such a cool and unique experience. If you do choose to model keep in mind that every single suggestion she gave me during the shoot really worked beautifully with the elements and back drop.”
“Abigail not only has a great eye for capturing the subtleties of a person’s unique character and environment, she is also adept at making you extremely comfortable posing, paying attention to your needs and personality and giving all the time and attention needed to guarantee many great shots to choose from. ”
“Working with Abigail was a true pleasure. She was laid-back and professional, which put me at ease. Her approach made it easy to be both nude and erotic, making it feel very natural to be observed and photographed in situations normally kept private. Working with Abigail is something I hope to do again.”
“Working with Abigail on my new headshot was an absolute pleasure! She made me feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera and had so many good suggestions about favorable backdrops, poses, etc. She’s a true pro and a kind person. The hour I worked with her flew by. It was productive, fun, and relaxed. Bonus: I get tons of compliments on the headshots! ”
“My experience with Abigail was very positive. Our photoshoot was co-creative and I felt like I was in a safe environment where I could be myself and explore play with a creative partner who had a deep presence and a uniquely creative eye. Abigail sported me in becoming clear around the vision and theme of the shoot and the essence we were trying to catch. She also had a very quick turn around time on all the proofs and edited images. I wholeheartedly recommend her work.”
“Deciding to work with Abigail was absolutely the right decision for me. I was incredibly nervous for the nude shoot but her demeanor and professionalism made the whole experience feel normal and after the initial nerves I was surprisingly comfortable. Abigail generated a collaborative experience by seeking out my input but clearly put her stamp on the shoot through her creativity and expertise. Working with her felt easy and natural. Just as importantly, Abigail followed up quickly after our session to provide proofs and once I selected the ones I wanted, she delivered the finished photos in an extremely timely manner.”
“Abigail has been a pleasant, attentive, and intuitive photographer to collaborate with. We met in the woods for a themed shoot and for someone who does not work in the natural sciences, she has a great sense of finding spaces that accent the individual. We had great synergy in working together to come up with shots that I felt captured my essence very well. Throughout the process, I felt comfortable with her creative direction. In fact, I still use one of her photos for my bios!”
“I’ve been a model for over 30 years. It’s always refreshing to work with an artist in photography. To feel at ease, as if you know the creator of the image for a lifetime yet you just met. This is how I felt throughout the shoot. I was left feeling empowered and beautiful. Not every photographer can make you feel beautiful but Abigail does. With her words, guidance, and open spirit. If you want to experience a total package: warmth, comfort, and ease. She is definitely the one you want to invest in. You will definitely get your financial gift to yourself back tenfold. Don’t take my word, book a shoot and experience it for yourself. Overjoyed customer. ”
“Abigail did an amazing job of putting me at ease and creating a series of nude photos that brought forward my inner soul. She used the setting and lighting to create unique photos that all had their own character. The time flew by and she always involved me in the creative process. Being photographed nude was a liberating experience captured by Abigail in some great photos. It was an energizing event that I would recommend to anyone.”
“We absolutely love these images! You captured something that expresses the deep connection and energy that Oscar and I share. Yesterday was such a poignant reaffirmation for us, and rekindled all of the feelings from when we first fell in love. And the entire experience of working with you had us fall in love all over again. We are so grateful to you for creating the space that allows that magic to occur.
You are a visionary having significant impact on the world.”
“I was approached by the wonder Abigail Ekue to be featured in her She Rides series and I was definitely humbled for being chosen to participate in her series. I had just started riding a few months prior and when I met Abigail, she was patient as I was attempting to maneuver my than Ninja 250r around on a small pedestrian bridge. She provided some insight for her vision of the shoot and the photos turned out beautiful. I am grateful to have graced the pages of the 2018 calendar with fellow female riders around the country. I look forward to working again with Abigail in the future with my upgraded Ninja ZX-6R.”
“The two photo shoots I did with Abigail were fun, erotic, and inspiring. Abigail’s thorough professionalism and kind, non-judgmental manner gave me the confidence to bare it all for the camera and I was truly delighted with the results. It was a long time fantasy of mine to do a nude photo shoot and I’m grateful to Abigail for allowing me not only to fulfill that fantasy but for making the reality surpass expectations; she provided me with some special moments I will long cherish. I would eagerly work with Abigail again.”
“I would highly recommend Abigail to any man who has ever considered or even been curious about having nude photos taken of themselves. The experience was exhilarating and liberating, and Abigail was very easy to work with. Prior to Abigail’s arrival I was nervous about the shoot, but once she arrived and we chatted for a bit my nerves quickly left me. She made the experience fun, easy and comfortable, and I love the photos. I really can’t say enough good things about her or the experience.”
“I was nervous going into the shoot, thinking to myself, “Am I worthy of being shot by a professional photographer?”, “I’m such a new rider, am I what she is looking for?”.
When I showed up I was quickly put at ease by the other badass moto babes. Meeting you, with your warm smile and calm demeanor, calmed my nerves. You were so supportive when shooting me, you asked questions and put me at ease. You made me laugh and talked about things that we had in common.
It went quicker than I thought, which was a good thing. When we wrapped I was on a little high, more confident than I was walking into the experience, and I felt empowered being around other women riders.
Thank you for taking the time and sharing your talents. ”
“What a fun experience this was! Abigail was great - professional, good listener, engaged with us very well, was creative with her photography, and the interview made us feel very comfortable. I’d recommend working with her in a heartbeat! Thanks again, Abigail!”
“My photo shoot with Abigail Ekue was scheduled on a day when I woke up not feeling well. Abigail quickly put me at ease and encouraged me through a photo shoot that produced a series of breathtaking images. Abigail was extremely professional while also easing my anxiety. It turned out to be an enjoyable experience and I am always proud to use her photos as well as recommend Abigail to others.”
“The Hudson Valley Stilettos on Steel Female Riders Group had the pleasure to do a photo shoot in 2017. Several of us jumped on our bikes and headed down to the shoot. We had a great morning with our photographer. We gave each other self confidence and left with many beautiful memories.
Doing this shoot allowed us to use our imagination and document our journeys with one another. It’s a great stress reliever as you do a lot of laughing and socializing. This helps you to connect with your sisters in ways that you cannot connect while riding. You remind each other just how beautiful they are and how inspiring they are. It gave us empowerment as a women to showcase ourselves and embrace what was given it us.
After the shoot, the excitement and anticipation began as we waited for our pictures to come out. We were all pleasantly surprised on how well the pictures looked. We enjoyed sharing these photos with all other lady riders who then felt inspired to have a shoot done of them as well.
Abigail this portfolio of She Rides is something you will cherish for the rest of your life. You have touch many women in many ways from self confidence, freedom, beauty, etc. I wish you all the best on your journey. Much love and respect”
“I have done two nude photoshoots in my home with Abby. I was somewhat nervous for the first one, but Abby’s demeanor is such that I felt totally comfortable after ten seconds. It felt totally normal to be totally nude in front of her. Abby is very professional and she is very accepting of imperfections in nude male body (I am 70 years old with all the flaws normally attributed to 70 year old men). She is very open to your suggestions and has creative ideas of her own. All photographs were ready within five or six days.
Also, she is very patient with clients such as me who might be technologically challenged.
All in all, a great experience; I am glad I did it. Anyone who is thinking about booking Abby for a nude photoshoot, I say “do it.””
“You made me feel so comfortable and at the same time I must admit I was excited the entire shoot as you could tell !! It was just liberating and felt good to be free and ok with my body exposed with all its flaws.”
“It was a wonderful experience! Thank you for making our one year anniversary more memorable. I love the photos.”
