Its been a while since I have had the chance to work with Krystal so was really looking forward to shooting her at Image Red and as always she didn't disappoint. What I like about Krystal is she is happy to go through mood boards and work collaboratively on creative project which require a lot more thought, set up and light testing.

Krystal is very patient and understands the importance of spending time creating the scene before taking the shots. She is incredibly professional and very experienced and was more than happy with what we achieved together and already putting my mood board together for our next opportunity to work together.

With Image Red keeping me busy I don't get to shoot much nowadays but am so glad I took the opportunity to shoot with Suzanna. She is a photographers dream, reliable, enthusiastic, positive, creative, fun, incredibly talented and never stops smiling. She communicates well to help you achieve your vision and am so so happy with the results of the shoot I cant wait to work with her again. Fantastic model and genuine lovely lady.

Crystal attended our studio day today with 4 photographers at Image Red Studio. She has become a very welcome regular to our studio, she is always on time, arrives with a good selection of clothing, is friendly, polite, conscientious and respectful of studio, equipment and staff.

As well as being a super talented model, Crystal is a lovely genuine lady that all of our photographers look forward to shooting, in fact 3 photographers from todays shoot have already booked her again for her next visit. Highly recommended.

My first shoot with Suzie and she was amazing. Pre comms were very good, we both spoke at length about levels, goals, outfits and themes. Suzie has a large collection of outfits and props and knows what suits her and works well for her.

As well as a talented model, she is a genuinely nice person, easy going and was an absolute joy to work with. I came away with images I am very happy with and definitely want to work with this lady again, the time went far too quick which is always a sign of a good shoot.

Highly recommended

Another fantastic shoot with the incredible Jayne. I have worked with this lovely lady a few times now and every shoot gets better and better. We did a body paint shoot and as always pre comms were excellent as we came up with a plan for the shoot complete with mood boards. Whatever we shoot Jayne is so enthusiastic and so much fun to work with I loved every minute and come away with some amazing images, thank you Jayne.

Finally got the chance to shoot this lovely lady as she came to Apex Studio, Telford as part of her UK tour. I booked her for 4 hours and am so glad I did. It was clear pretty early on why Emma won the AF model of the year award in 2022. She is friendly, easy going and arives at the shoot with a good choice of outfit options.

I loved the fact that she immediately spotted my mood boards, shoot notes and props and was working with me and the studio manager proactively coming up with ideas. Emma does not hang around and has one of the best work rates of any model I have worked with.

She was honestly a complete joy to work with and I have come away with a lot of images I am very happy with. Highly recommended.

My third shoot with Tanya, this time a change of location from her amazing home and gardens to a studio shoot. Her and her partner arrived in plenty of time and after a quick chat about clothing over coffee, she was changed and ready to shoot.

She had a good selection of clothing to choose from to match the theme of the shoot. Tanya is very relaxed and so easy to work with. She poses very naturally and we managed to get 9 high quality sets in under 3 hours.

I am very happy with the results and highly recommend this talented model.

This was my second shoot with HairyTanya. She has a fantastic home studio in a wonderful location and it is a joy to shoot there. As before, precomms were excellent and we had a clear plan for the theme of the shoot. I was welcomed with a coffee and then we got straight into the shoot which as before was very productive and enjoyable. Tanya is very easy going and a joy to work with. I am very happy with the content from the shoot and would highly recommend this lovely lady.

This was my first shoot with Lucy. I was greeted at the door with a smile and offered a drink. Lucy is so friendly and chatty and a genuinely nice lady. She showed me around her home studio and after deciding on clothing options, we got straight into the shoot.

Lucy’s modelling experience is very apparent, she posed effortlessly and naturally and was happy to follow my direction. Lucy is so friendly and easy going she is a joy to work with and makes a photographer’s job so easy. I have come away with some fantastic shots and look forward to working with her again.

A highly recommended model.

This was my first shoot with Illy and I wasn’t disappointed. I have never worked with a model with such a high work rate, she barely stops to breathe! Her 13 years of experience clearly showed and I can’t believe how many sets and images I managed to get from this shoot.

Her tall, leggy stature combined with her incredible flexibility makes her a dream to shoot and I can see now why she has so many positive references. Belle Noir is not your average model, her bold confidence shows in her poses which are strong and reflect the confident attitude of this gutsy lady.

She has a fantastic personality and I loved every minute of it. Highly recommended experienced model.

Another fabulous shoot with this talented model who I am proud to call a friend after working together on a number of varied projects. Belle is a genuinely lovely lady with a beautiful smile, she is body confident embracing her curves and poses very naturally and artistically.

I have worked with Belle on three themed shoots in different studios and a Bodyscapes project at Apex Studios in Telford. Yesterdays shoot, my 5th with Belle, was a film noir theme. As always pre shoot comms were excellent and Belle was ready to go on arrival with clothes, styled hair and makeup. She is happy t o follow direction but also very good at suggestion new ideas.

We have many more projects together in the pipeline and I can highly recommend her.

My third shoot with this very talented lady. I have shot her in studio and on location, is always ontime, fully prepared, has a good selection of clothing and ideas, and is a lot of fum to work with. Highly reconmended.

My first shoot today with HairyTanya and couldn’t believe she said she hadn’t been modelling long as she is a complete natural. OMG what a place to shoot, an amazing house with incredible natural light overlooking the severn estuary and an amazing outdoor space with woodland and a hot tub.

This is a photographers dream especially with such a lovely lady to shoot in natural surroundings. I am so impressed with this newish model and cannot rate her or the shoot location high enough.

Her partner Clive kept me in coffee, gave me the tour, and was available to assist me when required. Wow what a day and have some amazing images, thank you Tanya.

After detailed pre comms and discussion on the detail of this shoot, I had the opportunity and pleasure of shooting Sylvie today in a home studio setting. She is a genuinely lovely lady and poses so naturally. She has a beautiful natural poise and I also got some fantastic expressive and moody face shots and I am very happy with the resulting content. We are already discussing a future outdoor location shoot.

I had the pleasure of shooting the wonderful Barby today at an outdoor location near Nuneaton. Despite the biting air, she braved the cold and with the help of partner Bosstog, we set up a series of outdoor themes with different clothing.

Barby is a mature model and very natural in the way she poses. I had a really enjoyable and extremely productive shoot and would highly recommend this versatile lady, she was a joy to work with.

As part of their UK tour, I had pleasure today of shooting Kayleigh Wonder and I am so glad I had this opportunity. She is a beautiful lady with a natural poise and a lot of fun. It was clear she was an experienced model, she followed direction well but also came up with her own ideas which worked really well. The thing that stood out for me was that she is a very natural and easy going model. She was accompanied by her partner who was a big help setting up the scenes and lighting. This was a duo shoot with LadyDilema and although they had only recently met, the two models worked together as if they had known each other for years. The whole shoot was professional, a lot of fun, and I came away with a lot of very creative content. I am hoping Kayleigh Wonder will make it back the UK for another tour and if she does, please do not miss out on the opportunity to shoot this incredible model.

LadyDilema has been on my radar to shoot with for a few months and this time I struck and managed to arrange a duo shoot with her and Kayleigh Wonder as part of Kayleigh’s UK tour. LadyDilema was accompanied by her partner who provided support setting up the shoot but was discrete whilst we were shooting. LadyDilema is a bubbly and stunning model with so much potential she was very easy to work with and an absolute joy to shoot. She can easily take direction or come up with her own creative ideas and loved every minute of the shoot. I am hoping I get the opportunity to shoot this lovely lady again and I would highly recommend her.

I shot Tokka at a studio day at Apex Studio on a group themed shoot. Wow what an incredible model, she has a very unique look, and a beautiful poise that is a photographers dream. She is natural model and is very easily directed. I came away with some fantastic images and as a result managed to secure a second shoot with her at The Facility in Walsall. This was a themed dungeon shoot and Tokka arrived with a very good selection of clothing and it was probably one of the most enjoyable shoots so far as she is so easy to work with and again I have an amazing array of images. I highly recommend this unique and talented model.
