Agile and elegant, patient and poised, LEnza is a joy to work with.

Her creativity and good humour ensured our shoot was both productive and enjoyable. She is good company, as well as a superb model, and I definitely want to work with her again.

Very highly recommended.

Great shoot with the beautiful Lenza.

Excellent pre-shoot Comms.

Lenza was a joy to work with. I introduced her to Wet Plate large format photography and she got it straight away.

Great to be around and beautiful results - I would recommend her wholeheartedly ❤️

Brilliant 😊😊

I loved working with LEnza / Valentina! She is the visual embodiment of fire and volcanic energy and her natural smile warms every photo. She’s so chilled and easy to work with and totally fearless when given direction that the time flows so effortlessly. We produced so many great photographs of very simple ideas that all conveyed a distinct, truthful beauty. I hope to shoot with her again and I highly recommend her! 100 GOLD STARS X X X

My fourth shoot with Lenza, this time as part of a art nude duo shoot with Beth Kate shot at PHOS Studio in Birmingham. The shoot was mainly natural light making use of the beautiful light streaming through the studio windows. I aware of the excellent shoot they had before and I made a conscious effort to avoid replication, working loosely off a mood board we got through a lot of looks with the pair of them posing fluidly. Looking forward to working with Lenza and Beth Kate in the summer.

Just had a wonderful 4 hour shoot with Valentina at HappyJacks Studio. She was a delight from start to finish. Charming, funny, creative, professional and with a wonderfully supple body.

So many outstanding images straight out of the camera.

Warmly recommended and I'm looking forward to working with her again.

Had a fantastic first shoot with this stunning model at her home.

She is amazingly flexible due to her teaching yoga and she can create many extreme poses.

We communicated well before and during the 4 hour shoot, I really enjoyed her enthusiastic attitude and eagerness to create beautiful images.

I will be booking more time with her without a doubt and hope LEnza will travel to me for our next shoot.

Definitely recommend LEnza .

My second shoot with Valentina, effectively a revisit to an idea for duo’s which I had trialed (with one shot) the previous Xmas.

The overall plan was to start with a few Helmut Newton’esque shots and then move to patterns and mirroring. I’d booked F/8 because of the wide infinite white wall and Beth because I liked the contrast in skin tones when we created that original shot.

It was a great shoot, the two models worked together very well working around the original concepts from the shoot plan I’d produced, but then adding their own ideas making at a true collaboration.

Valentina was a joy to work with again and I thoroughly enjoyed our interaction creating images. I would recommend Valentina to any photographer.

Thank you Valentina for another great shoot.

I look forward to shooting again in 2023.

My third shoot with Lenza in which circumstances meant the studio element of shoot had to be abandoned and we just shot using natural light none of which bothered her. We got through a large number of looks with Lenza posing seamlessly through out resulting many great images. Looking forward to the next shoot.

I had a brilliant shoot with LEnza. Excellent pre-shoot communication, she was friendly, creative, professional and a joy to work with.

She posed beautifully, and made some amazing shapes. I am really happy with the pictures and would be happy to shoot with her in future.

Highly recommended

Valentina is a woman in the sense of Monica Bellucci, someone who exudes sensuality, femininity, a native intelligence, and sense of elegance. Her yoga exudes patience, attentiveness, and underpins her connectedness.

She is full of sensitivity, a passion for life and connection. Valentina is one with Nature, be it flowers, water, or other elements.

I have been fortunate to photograph her beauty during two visits totalling 8 days; our photography includes artistic low key portraits to art nude. Valentina will be in my exhibitions and Every Woman a goddess book.

She is magical and photographers will thank themselves for creating with her.

Had a fabulous 4hr+ shoot with Valentina recently and the time flew by! She was superb throughout, great comms, enthusiastic and brought lots of outfits. She is a stunning model, beautiful, adaptive, creative. Was never short of pose ideas herself and took directions well too. I love the time shooting with her, she was so much fun and chatty! Oh! And we got so many fantastic images. Highly professional reliable and versatile model. RECOMMENDED without reservations.

I had the privilege of doing a 4h shoot with Valentina in my Brussels studio. We planned on spending 1 hour of this on stock photography but enjoyed the fine-art work so much that we just kept doing that the entire time.

From the very first message from her, I had this comforting feeling that whatever would come out if this, would be a good thing. From what she wrote, I could see she had read my entire portfolio text.

What can I say? The 4 hours flew by in a relaxed and creative atmosphere, where Valentina effortlessly offered me the poses and expressions I was looking for. She also patiently underwent my contraptions with iron wire, fabrics and what not ;)

The magical combination of kindness, beauty, intelligence and care definitely place her in 'Muse' territory for me. I'm constantly having many doubts about myself and whether I should be doing shoots at all, but people like Valentina make me feel it's all worthwhile.

I warmly recommend Valentina as model, inspiration and source of true beauty!

Lenza is a great model and a very nice and kind person. Shooting with her was a pleasure using soft daylight in her B&B. We tried several things, each time getting nice results and ended up working on a theme we thoroughly worked out. During two hours there never was a hurry or pressure, we just focussed on making nice shots and continued to improve them.

Before and after the shoot communication was great, I like it when we can talk about results because it makes me think of new ideas.

Also: I surely recommend LEnza, not only nice work but also a pleasure to work with... I hope we'll shoot again some day.

I had a lovely shoot with Lenza in an Airbnb she rented in Brussels. Despite a small room and not that much natural light we succeeded to make a lot of nice shots. Lenza is a joy to work with, friendly, good communication before the shoot. Highly recommended 😀

Worked with Lenza for the first time on Sunday. She is a very friendly model. Laid back and willing to work with you and your ideas.She will also tell you what she thinks will work. I would recommend her to new photographers as well as experienced photographers. She is a very good model and I can rate her very highly.

I had my first shoot with Lenza today. It won't be my last. She was fun and easy to work with. She was very patient and understanding while I fiddled with lenses and lights to get just the effect that I wanted. I am looking forwards to processing the results.

We had been planning a shoot inspired by Persephone for such a long time - Valentina was so engaged, and it was such an easy collaboration as we planned ideas, looks and the story we wanted to tell.

On the day it was so relaxed and fun and the images we got speak for themselves. Valentina creates such wonderful shapes and told our story beautifully - thank you!

I invited Valentina up for two days, to allow for her travel and to keep the shoot relaxed. A wonderful model and human being. I cannot, as so many others have said - recommend her enough. Her flawless posing and beauty made it an absolute pleasure and my only regret is that it was only two days. Hopefully in the spring I can persuade her to come up again. She lights up any room and has the smiliest eyes (is that a word?). My dog fell in love with her and she's very choosy.

Arranged a shoot with Valentina, collected her from the station and headed to my studio. Valentina was a complete joy and professional to work with, working to make ideas we'd talked about come to life.

I would have no hesitation recommending her to any other photographers.

If you haven't worked with her, book her up quickly before she gets fully taken.

I'd love to work with Valentina again maybe next spring.....
