This was my first, and definitely will not be my last shoot with Gem. A true professional from start to finish, with a great fun and enthusiastic personality, which is infectious!
Friendly, creative & engaging with bags of energy from the first minute you engage in communications, that's Gemma!
I had a few ideas for themes that I ran past Gem when we first started communications, but, she came up with lots more! This is just the sort of feedback & input you want as a photographer, as I always look on these situations as a 2 way experience, and a shoot should be fun and rewarding for both parties, tog & MODEL!!
Working from Fashion/Glamour through to Low Key Femme Fatale type shoots, lingerie, then on to artistic nude, Gemma's energy and positivity created much more than I had first imagined and I think the pictures we created show that!
Gemma is definitely someone you should work with, (I'm sure, like me, you'll be back to book her again!) whether you are a professional or amateur tog, Gemma will have your imagination & creativity doing somersaults. Not only is she full of ideas, she knows how to work the camera, and needs very little instruction. However, she'll also take direction and work her magic on it to give you "that shot" & MORE!!
I mentioned Gemma's great modelling talents to several members of my local camera club, and several have had more than one shoot with her, as it's very difficult to get a model who is reliable, professional, energetic, full of ideas, great fun & rarely stops smiling, and works thoroughly professionally throughout a shoot.
There is always a down side though! Be sure to have enough space for her "caravan", sorry "travel bag", as she carries a suitcase that most people would take for a fortnight's holiday, just for one shoot!!
If you are professional you are getting a top class model that works full time in this profession. She knows so much about styles, pose and everything else that goes with it.
If like me, you're an amateur, or just starting out in studio & model photography, then she is more than happy to hit you with suggestions & ideas.
If you get the chance to work with this amazing young lady, grab it with both hands!!
Can't wait to work with you again Gemma!!
