I had my first shoot with Gem at a shoot in an interesting Victorian Hotel, organised by Rachelle Summers....Belles of Bedford.

There were three other models, all different and I was fascinated by Gem's look and persona.

Because of the timetable, I only got to shoot two sets with her. One a girl/girl and one with all four models.

In one set, I wanted a distant but slightly dangerous look and she not only did this but many other looks, which as I edit the images, I am trying to get straight in my mind. Absolutely wonderful!

I loved working with Gem and I can recommend her to all photographers.

My first shoot with Gemma – so a little trepidation… And she turns out to be a lovely lady; professional, laid-back with a very dry sense of humour and a great grasp of her art and its technicalities.

One fantastic model; unreservedly recommended!

Another awesome shoot with Gem at Rachelle's Belles of Bedford event. Gem always creates awesome poses, has make up always to a high standard and the camera loves her that you get unique and superb images. Gem is always great and fun on a set and can work great individually or with a group of models. We captured some great poses at the event that I can't wait to edit and release. Highly recommended both as a model and MUA.

We went to the Bedford Belles weekend. This was the first time we had worked with Gem. She has a lovely look and had some good ideas about clothing to work with some of our props. We enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone who shoots her styles.

I had another lovely shoot with Gem at Rachelle's Belles of Bedford shoot which was lovely and relaxing. Gem is a superb model as well as being a lovely person. Highly recommended as her references state. Thanks again Gem for a great shoot!

I attended Hacienda Studio to shoot at the Gilded event organised and directed by Gem. Ivory Flame and Heather May Corvid were also part of the wonderful line up of models.

Gem had put a tremendous amount of work into preparing for the shoot and her enthusiasm and determination that this would be a success was very clear to see.

This was an amazing event Gem and the results are stunning, so many images I am struggling to choose.

Gem poses effortlessly and deserves congratulating for the opportunity she created for photographers.

I highly recommend that any photographer works with Gem - you will be more than happy with the results.

Thank you Gem and I'm sure we will work together for what I think will be our 4th time very soon.

I had the great good fortune to shoot with the lovely Gem together with the equally lovely Ivory Flame and Heather May Corvid at the Gilded Redhead event at the Hacienda Studio in London. I had such a wonderful time shooting all three models at this event, shooting mainly fine art nude of all three models, sometimes two and I managed to shoot a few portraits of Gem with a wonderful headpiece which I believe was supplied by 'FireBirdFusion and Halo' who I believe also supplied other accessories for the shoot. The three models combined brilliantly together to create stunning images. Gem is such a warm,lovely person and creates very elegant and creative shapes and I would highly recommend Gem to all photographers. Thank you again Gem for arranging this great event. You are a star.

My goodness what can I say?

I shot Gem yesterday at the Hacienda, together with Ivory Flame and Heather May Corvid...3 of the best names in the modelling industry, and it was a 3 for 1 kind of deal :)

I'm importing the photos right now and they are all absolute gems. It will be a hard task to pick the best ones to edit.

A truly satisfying shoot, thank you all.

This was my first time shooting Gem during her Guilded Red event hosted at the Hacienda. I was really impressed with Gem’s creative flair and epic make up skills as she was the creative director and mua for the event. Her poses and angles were spot on and has given me a problem of too many great shots! It was a genuine pleasure to work with Gem and I can Highly Recommend her!!

I attended Gemma’s Gilded Red Klimt theme shoot at the Hacienda after she kindly arranged to host an extra day. It was with Gemma and Ivory Flame and a huge effort had gone into the planning & organisation. The look itself required gold paint from head to toe which looked absolutely incredible. As did the set that both had created the say before. Gemma was also able to source some stunning bespoke headpieces and other golden adornments which really added to the high end professional look.

I’d worked with Gemma before (with really productive results) so knew how elegant and graceful her posing was, which suited this theme perfectly. Barely any direction is needed when you work with Gemma, which enabled us to save time & get creative with different looks and alternative between singles/duos. Gemma was also keen to make sure the pose positions worked exactly right for the duos even if that meant repeating some a couple of times if needed.

Gemma is also super friendly & a real joy to work with. One of the best workshops I’ve ever had the good fortune to do. Can’t recommend her enough.

Had a great studio day recently with Gem. She's a fantastic model, experienced and professional, with a unique look and great posing skills.

She brought a very nice selection of outfits for the shoot, and was able to adapt her looks and style to match the ideas of every one of the photographers.

She's relaxed and confident, talented and creative, a lovely person and an excellent model.

Highly recommended!

I was looking forwards to working with Gem as she has a great body of work. Pre-comms were great and she arrived with a bag full of wonderfully clothes that fitted the theme. Gem was brilliant at getting into awkward shapes and we certainly tested her leg muscles! The outfits blended well with both the background and the draped materials on the boxes. We mixed shots sitting, laying and standing through the different stages of the shoot including ballet shoes with the hula-hoop. Gem has true drama in her expressions, is a wonderful person to work with and I have no hesitation in recommending her. Looking forwards to shoot her again, so Gem hold that blue evening dress.

The amazing Gem did mine (and another model's) hair/ makeup on a Toulouki & Simone shoot in London. Not only is she a wonderfully kind person, Gem is absolutely incredible at what she does, so so talented (multi-talented I should say). Both her hair and makeup were flawless, and she ensured that it remained that way in every shot. That kind of attention-to-detail is absolutely essential when shooting high-quality images! Highly recommend hiring Gem as HMUA to raise the value of your work. One needs only to look at her many images to see this to be the case!

Would absolutely love to work with Gem again, perhaps in a model capacity as well next time!

Thank you Gem for making me look so stunning! :)

I was absolutely delighted at having the opportunity of working with Gem at a "Secret Garden" event. Whether working solo or in a duo, Gem was always seeking to offer superb poses and was keen to keep producing something different for each of the photographers attending. Working within the time limits imposed by the fading light, Gem was also very responsive to the ideas and concepts put to her, quickly taking on board these and making the images something uniquely hers.

Perhaps the best way to describe Gem is that she seems to exude an exquisite quality that comes across so beautifully in the images captured.

In addition to being an excellent model, Gem was also great company at a celebratory meal after the shoot.

Gem is certainly highly recommended by me and I hope we get to work together again soon.

I was fortunate to be able to take part in Artemis Fauna's Secret Garden event last week and worked with Gem and Artemis on that shoot. This was my first time working with Gem and it was an absolute pleasure. A unique and versatile model, Gem posed exquisitely without direction and her creative responses to her environment gave us all the opportunity to get some exquisite shots. Highly recommended and I look forward to working with you again Gem!

I was lucky enough to book onto Artemis Fauna's last "Secret Garden" shoot for the year and the first time I'd worked with Gem but I hope it won't be the last. Gem was superb - her shapes blending with and complementing the scenes. We tried to take in as many sets as possible within these gardens where there is a beautiful view whichever way you turn but, of course, perfectly enhanced by such an excellent model. Her pairing with Artemis for the many duo sets we shot was wonderful.

Obviously highly recommended by me.
