Haedi

I had the pleasure of shooting Haedi at her home. Pre shoot communication was excellent so by the time we met we knew each other well but that did not stop us having a good chat before getting the camera out. Haedi had prepared her hair and make up to a high standard and as requested. She also had some outfits for the shoot and was happy to use one that I had taken with a Christmas theme. She poses with confidence and we reviewed the images as we progressed. She is a joy to work with and presents as someone who has been a model for sometime. I sense she is enjoying her journey having already worked with some experienced photographers We have already talked about a studio shoot which with luck we can arrange before Christmas. I am very happy to recommend Haedi to photographers of all levels.

Thank you Haedi for a great first shoot, can't wait to work with you again.

Last week I had the pleasure of working with Denise.
Communications prior to the shoot were brilliant and replies were always prompt.
She was ready and well prepared when I arrived and the coffee was gratefully received after the drive.
Denise completely understood each new idea and adapted immediately with a minimum of direction.
I have no hesitation in recommending her. If you get the chance to work with her I feel sure that you will not be disappointed.

Second shoot with Haedi... Another great shoot with Headi, her confidence and enthusiasm is growing with every shot.... This latest shoot has produced 2 starred images for her... I've never met such an enthusiastic model before. 100% recommendation

Really enjoyable shoot today with Denise. Pre-shoot comms were excellent. She arrived at our chosen venue before I did. She came with several changes of clothes and lots of enthusiasm. Denise takes instruction effortlessly. It's hard to believe she is new to the industry. A lovely lady, we shot for far longer than we had planned, enjoyed a chat when we had a break for coffee.

Absolutely no hesitation in recommending Denise for a shoot. I am looking forward to our next shoot we have provisionally planned.

Thank you Denise

This was my first shoot with Denise and I have to say, for a 'brand new' model, she coped extremely well. A very good start indeed.

So, first things first.

Communications: These were very good, including a number of emails and whatsapp messages. Here we shared a number of 'mood boards' and various images to see what would suit Denise.

We agreed on many things, so this was very straight forward and Denise was receptive to my ideas and suggestions as well as sharing her own willingly. I love that BTW.

Day of the shoot, I met Denise in her home. And as always with me lol, sat down with a cuppa and discussed with her how the shoot would go.

We agreed a plan of attack as it were. We started with some very soft and gentle boudoir and moved onto some more intensive and detailed shots.
Denise dealt with all of the sets on the day with ease in my opinion. Within 2 hours, Denise started to 'flow' easier through the shoot, even when under my direction (which she dealt with and understood very quickly) found her now own little touches to add, that started to appear and did enhance the images quite splendidly. Well done indeed. I could at this point, of shot with Denise for many more hours on this day, because her understanding of the style was really beginning to shine through!

It is my opinion going forward, that Denise will continue to grasp all the concepts and requirement of being a very good model. The boudoir style is definitely something I think she will excel at if she continues to progress at this rate and will be most successful!

I would advise the following to photographers who wish to shoot with her.

Keep in mind, this lovely lady is learning her skills at this time. So, make sure your direction is on point and make it as clear as you can what you want from the shoot! Allow her to share her ideas and feelings also.

Denise, most definitely has a sensual side for boudoir in her soul as it were, so she will absorb the moment like a sponge and respond with stunning images if you keep the above in mind.

New photographers: No reason not to shoot with Nicola at all. If anything, if you approach the shoot correctly, with a plan for the day most definitely, I think you will both get so much experience from it.

Do not however, expect Denise to understand things like lighting and camera settings at this stage. Many models learn a lot about theses things as their career develops, so this lady being so new to the industry is learning this too. But again picking it up very quickly.

Would I recommend? Yes, of course I would. Her attitude, feel for shooting (which is clear from this shoot she does enjoy very much) enthusiasm and willingness to please and put the work in to get the results goes without question.

So, get that email sent to her, request that shoot, because I think in a very short space of time her diary will be full for many weeks in advance.

All the best Denise, enjoy your modelling journey going forward and all the great experiences that come along with it.

Thank you for letting me complete this shoot and I hope you learnt a lot, took many positive things from the day.
Most of all, I look forward to shooting with you again in the very near future.
All the best
Ted.
