.Our second shoot based around bokeh in a relatively short space of time. On this occasion we opted to shoot outdoors in Sheffield. Good pre-shoot comms, Sophie and her partner arrived on time ready to go. We got some great shots and we even pulled her fella in for some couples shots. Look forward to more next year.

Sophie and I had one shoot in between lock-downs in 2020 and for whatever reason we never followed it up with a second. Sophie contacted me recently to say that she was now back in Sheffield and asked if I would still like a second shoot.

We talk around a theme of bokeh and Christmas lights and a couple of hours studio time was booked at Zavod.

Pre-shoot comms were good and the shoot itself was really good fun and productive. As Sophie mentions she brings her partner with her as a chaperone. I have no issue with chaperones as long as they are willing and able to assist as a lighting assistant if called upon and I can confirm that Sophie’s partner is able to undertake such a role with enthusiasm and willingness.

We got some great shots and have pencilled in a further shoot for next week so clearly it is a recommendation from me.

I had my first shoot with Sophie last week, after a brief few messages about what I wanted to achieve I could tell Sophie was enthusiastic and up for the shoot. We met at a local airfield and set straight to work, Sophie had arrived with make up done and dressed ready to shoot, Sophie is a professional and experienced model and this comes across in her work. We managed to achieve the brief during our first shoot and I hope to work with Sophie again in the near future.

Fantastic model. Great communications, pleasant personality. We had a fun shoot and I'm really pleased with the images. Couldn't ask for more.

This was my second shoot with Sophie and was even better. Our first shoot was in the cold outside, this time was a studio shoot at the brilliant WPS studio in Worksop.

Sophie worked hard and the time flew by, as we shot a series of portraits, fashion and lingerie.

Very friendly and a relaxed enjoyable shoot that absolutely raced by.

I had my first shoot with this lovely young lady. Sophie was on time and ready to shoot straight away. Communications before the shoot were brilliant.

We did shoot on the beach in the theam of Rebel, attitude, but it is the girl next door.

Sophie pulled it off perfectly...Sophie takes direction very well and can hold a pose like a statue.

Every thing went perfectly. Sophie is very friendly, well mannered and articulate.... A very clever and bright young lady...

We will definitely be doing another shoot together. I recommend Sophie 100%....

Thank you Sophie for a lovely afternoon

Can’t use enough words to describe how good and professional the photoshoot with Sophie went. Absolutely adorable model with beautiful eyes, hair, face and body. Very easy going and natural in front of camera. Open to new ideas and willing to shoot even in very cold weather. Definitely recommended, can’t wait for the next photoshoot ❤️

This was a socially distanced shoot at a country park local to me. A test shoot to check some lighting ideas. Sophie applied for the casting with excellent comms, and turned up on time.

Unfortunately unlike the week the week before, the weather was cold with snow showers and intermittent sun. Sophie dressed as I had asked proved to be a real trooper. A thin top and -1C wind chill was not conductive to a good shoot, but Sophie performed excellently and we got some great images.

I cannot recommend her enough, and I will certainly work with her again, hopefully either in a warm studio or in better weather if outdoors.

At last I got to meet Sophie and her partner for a wonderful shoot in Cheshire. Perfect comms, time keeping and energy. Sophie really is a trooper and not afraid of cold water. She moves heaven and earth to get the shot.

Highly recommended

Thank you Sophie

Sophie shot with me on a very last minute Gothic styled shoot in Whitby at dusk. Sophie was wonderful to work with, helpful with information and suggestions on the location. With a great look and outfit sophie posed well and took direction very well when asked to. With the light disappearing fast we were winging it but that did not faze Sophia at all relaxed and professional throughout the conversation flowed from start to finish. And on top of all that we have great results.

I whole heartedly reccomend Sophie as a friendly, hard working, great looking and professional model.

Today I had a duo shoot with Sophie. Sophie was a lovely model to work with, we both wore medieval/gothic dresses which worked very well for the location of the shoot. I would highly recommend her to any photographer!

I was in Whitby to shoot the Pirate Weekend, met up with Sophie by prior arrangement, having shot with her in Sheffield. I tagged Sophie onto my Steampunk/Pirate group and she and her chaperone immediately fitted seamlessly into the group. The shoot lasted all day as we meandered all around Whitby harbour and beach areas, Sophie posed without direction and both myself and my Steampunk photographer friends shot Sophie on and off for several hours, with her as a solo model and also as an active part in several pirate group shoots.

Shot Sophie again as a solo model the following day aboard the galleon Endevour in Whitby harbour, then again as a solo and group participant in the second day of the bigger Pirate Weekend event. Very successful two days shooting with Sophie, who performed admirably all weekend, a big thanx from me and my tog friends ! Highly recommended.

Great last minute shoot with Sophie.

Met as agreed location on time and was ready to shoot.

Discussed briefly what we were doing and then got straight on. Sophie was great with direction and ideas I had for locations to shoot in and poses.

Would definitely recommend and hope we can shoot again sometime.

Had my second shoot with Sophie and it was a very enjoyable one - despite the weather's best attempts to blow us off our feet!

We moved from fashion with an urban background to something almost Gothic and Sophie enthusiastically adapted to the new setting to produce some great images.

Sophie is very easy to work with: helpful, fun to talk to and 100% reliable. She has a great sense of style and brings some good ideas to the shoot in a way that enhances the experience for everyone.

I'm looking forward to getting our images online and to working with her again in the near future.

My first shoot with Sophie and I was very impressed with Sophie's all round ability. Her pre-comms were clear and effective. She arrived ready to shoot and was able to pose herself and take direction. We had an enjoyable couple of hours in the city centre and produced some great images. We are already chatting about further shoots. Thanks for the shoot Sophie and looking forward to the next one.

Did a fashion shoot in centre of Sheffield with Sophie. Pre-shoot communications were clear and concise. Shot in inclement weather with showers, Sophie never complained and was very positive, adding posing and location ideas. Sophie modelled without direction, so I was able to concentrate on the camera settings and composition, leaving the actual poses to Sophie. She was very friendly and chatty and a pleasure with whom to work. I can thoroughly recommend Sophie and hope to shoot with her again once she has moved to Whitby, something along a Steampunk and/or Gothic theme.
