References for LEnza

I met Valentina 10 months ago and seemed to have shot her rather often ever since :) I admired her work for months before our first shoot and was very nervous thinking she'd never like my work. Wrong! She's great to work with, even when I ask her to pose in freezing cold Welsh streams. Val came to London this week for an art nude duo with Beth Kate and then a street photo duo with Irida. Both shoots went well, producing great images. We already have other shoots lined up. Highly recommended and one of my go to models.

Edinburgh Collab

The results are excellent but that is only part of the story. The weather was against us, varying between raining and pouring but LEnza was completely unphased and out shone the rain.

LEnza is great to work with, enthusiastic and creates wonderful images

If you can, shoot with LEnza

Recently had the pleasure of a first shoot with Valentina. Her pre-comms were prompt and informative such that we had two plans........that allowed us to work around the weather!

She has a great array of poses and requires little direction. We tried a number of simple ideas that have led to some nice results.

Happy to recommend Valentina

What a delight it is to book such an awesome model.

Pre-coms were excellent and LEnza kept me updated on her travel.

The weather was not kind to us but LEnza still gave her all and went above and beyond to ensure I got the images I wanted. Not only that, but she is a super intelligent woman and the conversation between shooting was always interesting.

I had a great shoot in a relaxed and productive atmosphere and would definitely love to work with LEnza again.

Thanks (Gunnar says thanks too 🐺😁)

Shot with Lenza this weekend as part of her modelling day. Even though I was the last photographer of the day and she had already posed for nearly 7 hours her professional approach did not waver. Lenza is very competent and posing without instructions but was also happy to take direct as well. The only drawback with lenza is she’s the other side of the country otherwise I’d definitely shoot with her lots more. The next time she’s in Scotland I’ll definitely book a shoot with her again

We hosted a studio day with LEnza and it was a fun and successful day. I had the chance to work with her for a couple of hours during the day and the results are very pleasing.

During the day she was patient with the photographers and maintained a level of energy and enthusiasm that ensured that we all captured images that we liked.

Booked a last minute shoot with Lenza as she was in my area for a studio day. Glad I did as she is an absolute joy to work with. Lenza posed easily and needed very little direction. Her background in yoga shows in the images we took. Lenza is chatty and was fun to talk to during shoot, her experience is extensive and nothing was a problem for her.

Comms were great and Lenza was on time for the shoot. For a beautiful model and a wonderful chatty person book Lenza as you won't be disappointed.

What an absolute awesome person Lenza is and an absolute dream to work with.

I had two short hrs with Lenza at Studio 12 in Paisley as part of her Scottish tour. We got through so many different looks from headshots to bodyscapes and even using the natural light.

As others have said Lenza poses effortlessly and we created so many great images, can't wait to edit them when my eyes behave.

Thanks so much Lenza for being so patient with me

I worked for the first time with LEnza during her tour in Scotland. We worked in a local studio. Lenza was super king and welcoming person. It was also very nice to chat with her, she was very funny and smiley. She made me feel comfortable and confident since the beginning. LEnza was also very patient and supportive, she tuned her style and matched my rithm. She was also happy to take few pauses and revered together the outcome of the shooting

LEnza is a very talented model, she doesn't need any direction, she is very creative and passionate, but she is also very professional and transforms suggestions in interesting and strong poses. LEnza had a nice variety of outfits and she was happy to express her creativity during the shooting

Time flew by very quickly and I would like to work with her again as soon as I have an opportunity

I had a two hour slot to work with LEnza yesterday when she had a day’s shooting at the excellent studio R3 in Glasgow. I had previously admired LEnza’s portfolio and was, therefore, confident that it would be a productive and enjoyable shoot. So it proved. LEnza is a very professional model who needs little direction. She had an extensive wardrobe with her giving the photographer a good choice of sets and she changed quickly between sets. She was very patient with the photographer while he adjusted the lights. It was indeed a very enjoyable shoot – LEnza is very friendly and easy to chat with – and it was very productive: I have a good number of competition standard images. Pity my shoot was so short. I look forward to catching up with her again soon, and I recommend her without reservation. Well done LEnza.

I had a great half-day shoot with Valentina (LEnza) at @thekilnstudio. Pre-comms were effortless, the shoot was frictionless, and we created some great images, including some duo's with @wianamodel in the afternoon

Valentina is easygoing, fun, and very flexible (yoga teacher if memory serves me).

Highly recommended.

Another fantastic shoot with Valentina covering Fashion, Body Sculpture, Gel work and editorial. Nothing is too much trouble for Val who is amazingly creative, graceful, fun to work with and totally professional all at the same time.

She is an absolute delight to work with, ensuring the time flies by and the output is second to none!

I've just finished a shoot with LEnza at Aura in Weedon Bec. What a fabulously friendly person! As soon as I saw her big beaming smile at the station I knew it was going to be a great day. Right from the start Valentina was enthusiastic and happy. Nothing was too much trouble. It was clear that she had done her research on me and was familiar with my preferences and style. She seemed genuinely excited to see what we could create in the natural light palace of Aura.

I must say I wasn't disappointed and Valentina seemed pleased with the back of camera images.

All-in-all it was a great shoot and I couldn't have wished for a better experience for our first outing together. I'm sure it won't be our last. Valentina told me how much she likes shooting outdoor locations and I will look out for future opportunities when the weather improves.

I can recommend Valentina 100% without reservation.

Thanks for a lovely shoot.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Valentina at Paul's Studio in Reading.

The general theme of the shoot was "human sculpture" - I wanted to create interesting compositions and shapes with the body and this is what had originally motivated me to shoot with Valentina, based on her background in dance and yoga.

After booking the slot, I shared some of my ideas and inspiration with Valentina for which she was extremely receptive and responded promptly. When it came to the day of the shoot it felt much more like a collaboration. It's not only positive to have a model who invests so much of themselves into the shoot but also helpful for me, as someone who is at the start of their journey as an art nude photographer.

Valentina's warm personality and positive energy helped to create a great atmosphere while we were shooting. After discussing a few ideas we'd start creating. Her ability to take an idea and run with it, moving both effortlessly and gracefully, needing little direction, helped to create some wonderful photographs that look both beautiful and natural.

I would absolutely recommend Valentina to all levels of photographer and hope I can work with her again. The two hours we had went by far too quickly!

It was a great pleasure shooting with LEnza. She is a very talented and enthusiastic model. LEnza poses effortlessly without direction but very happy taking direction while adding her own style to the shoot. I was throughly impressed and very pleased I had the opportunity to shoot with her.

Apart from being extremely professional she also has a great sense of humour and great fun to be with.

I would 100% encourage anyone that has the chance to shoot with LEnza.

My first shoot with Val at HappyJack Studio's workshop morning. It was a very enjoyable time and she is very easy to get on with. Val was happy to pose independently as well as take direction. The time flew by and I am very happy with all of the images I obtained on the shoot. I will be very happy to book her for a 1-2-1 shoot in the future. Definitely recommended.

Yet another great shoot with Valentina! A consumate professional, totally reliable, adaptable and contributes 100% to make each shoot a success. An absolute pleasure to work with.

Myself and another photographer decided to book model LEnza on her recent Irish tour, we were impressed by her portfolio on purple port ,we booked her for 4 hours at Platform 3 studio and we were not disappointed.

Valentina was a pleasure to work with,she was so friendly and professional not for a single second during the shoot did her enthusiasm wane .she was always looking for feedback on every pose she done and would do everything to ensure we where delighted with the results which we where. Valentina also used her skill as a Yoga instructor to allow us to photograph her in some unique poses .all in all a great photoshoot ,can't wait to work with Valentina again.

Mark Bellot Photography

Had a fantastic shoot with Valentina last week. The pre communications were great and Valentina suggested venues which helped the process run smoothly.

On the day she arrived at the studio a little early and had all of the outfits which I requested. I was shooting a video interview and she was prepared and gave 100% even though it was a little out of her comfort zone. Throughout the shoot she was friendly, helpful, polite and easy to talk to. The time flew by and we created some great footage.

I would 100% recommend Valentina for project and hopefully I will work with her again in the future.

Thanks again for a great shoot!

I had another GREAT shoot with Valentina during her recent Irish tour.

Valentina is a FAB model. Very friendly and co-operative and a delight to work with. And very Beautiful too of course. Valentina even agreed to a few outdoor pics in the park on a freezing cold day in Feb.

Many thanks Valentina for another great shoot.

Highly Recommended.
