This was my third shoot with Xenia and after the first two shoots which were amazing and a few FPI’s on the way. We both decided it was time to do some outdoor location images.

We decided on location and also the type of shoot beforehand. It’s difficult to describe in words just how hard working and professional Xenia is and the images from our art nude shoot I can only describe has breathtaking.

Putting aside the professional side of Xenia there is a wicked sense of humour from this lady.

Absolutely without hesitation I would recommend Xenia if your the type of photographer that needs portfolio images at the highest level.

Thanks Again Xenia xx

Beauty with Brains!! Is how I can portray about Xenia. She is one of the amazing people that I’ve ever met.

Pre comms were excellent, she was well prepared & organised as per the planned mood board. I had such an amazing time at her studio and manage to get really extraordinary shots which I’ll be posting soon on PP and lot more on my Insta page.

She’s exceptionally well and I just can’t wait to work with her again. Thanks much for your time and effort Xenia, looking forward to work with you again.

Had an incredible first proper shoot with Xenia, at The Boardroom studio! :-) we had worked together a couple of times at group shoot events and both had been brilliant, so I was dead keen to work with Xenia properly on a dedicated shoot! :-) What can I say, Xenia is AMAZING!! First off, I threw her a bit of a curveball in terms of shoot theme and styling which wasn't something she had done before, but she managed to put together more than enough incredibly styled looks that were all bang on theme for the shoot, as good as or better than outfits of models for whom this is the main thing they do :-) Then on top of the fabulous styling and matching makeup, Xenia delivered some fantastic poses to bring everything to life! :-) and on top of that she is an absolute joy to work with! had loads of fun, came away with stunning images and can't wait to work with Xenia Again! Totally recommended! :-)

Boggin’ awesome.

Xenia and I had our second shoot today after a small 3 year break. When I collected Xenia from the station, it was just like I was collecting a friend I’d last met just a few weeks ago.

There’s little point in my explaining how great Xenia looks - see her images, they speak many thousands of words. But her personality doesn’t stand out in images. She is bright, articulate, funny, humble, generally great to be with. Carolyn and I were delighted to have her as our guest last night. This morning she was raring to go, despite the crazy heat.

We had an amazing shoot, covering a lot of styles and looks.

I’m rather hoping we shoot together again in PDQ. She’s clearly very ‘in demand’ and with her looks, talent and her own studio that’s not at all surprising

Thanks for an amazing shoot Xenia, come back soon.

Mick Payton Studios

Amazing personality and model! Pre-comms were excellent and we quickly worked out a shoot plan for our weekend of workshops at our studio in Presteigne, Wales. Ksenia is very enthusiastic about evey aspect of modelling and photography and works hard to achieve goals. A lot of fun to have around she will add to the quality of your experience with her with constructive input and modelling skill, make sure to use her styling skills too! I'm already trying to squeeze in an extra workshop to bring her back later this year! Thanks again, До скорой встречи Ксения!

Had the pleasure of an amazing first shoot with Xenia at a recent Mick Payton workshop.

Xenia is professional, adaptable, relaxed and great fun to work with. She has the ability to quickly understand the photographers ideas/style and make subtle adjustments that provide a unique set of images.

Xenia was awesome, a real pleasure to work with. Already looking forward to shooting again later in the year.

I had the great pleasure of working with Xenia at Mick Payton’s studio yesterday. What an enormous bundle of Russian energy!!! She commits herself 100% to everything she does and clearly loves modelling.

Not only is she a professional, experienced model, she is hardworking, chatty and fun to work with.

Xenia is a real dark Slavic beauty, with adorable big brown eyes that you could drown puppies in… She poses fluently and effortlessly, taking direction well and uses her experience to contribute to the shoot.

A beautiful person inside and out, with a tremendous work ethic and an amazing personality.

I would recommend Xenia to any photographers or studios and hope to work with her again soon.

Спасибо большое Ксения. Ты звезда… 🌟

Had a great first shoot with Xenia. She has a bubbly personality & is full of energy. Great at posing & following direction if required. We got some lovely images.

Definitely recommended.

Shoot No.2 today with Xenia around the City shooting dance, portraits, fashion & more - WOW!!! an absolute star, full of ideas, very brave (walking through the icy cold fountains dancing away), beautiful and certainly knows how to pack a punch when it comes to posing and reading the scenario. An absolute true professional with boundless energy. I throughly enjoyed most of the day shooting with Xenia and I more than recommend you shoot with her! Already planning our next shoot. Yay!!!

This shoot marked my 8th (I think), this should say it all.

This was my first duo shoot, too, with Xenia and Ell Mae, doing a candy theme and the day was exceptional.

What started as an idea to do 'sugar sprinkles on lips' ballooned into a pool of creative ideas, that were great fun and we had a blast while doing it.

We shot at Zavod, on Sheffield, which is also owned by Xenia, and a great place to work

Working with Xenia is always great fun and yet again I would recommend whole heartedly.

Already thinking about ides for the next shoot

I had my first shoot with Xenia and I can't wait to work on the images! Xenia is an incredible model with amazing makeup skills. I had seen her Beauty makeup and knew immediately that I will want to work with her. We arranged an editorial session and she was so accommodating, right from the moodboard approval to arriving prepared for the looks that I wanted. From the very first image (2nd one to be honest), they looked so good without even retouch. Xenia is very knowledgeable about lighting setups and knows how to pose to bring out the best images.

I will highly recommend Xenia to anyone who wants to update their portfolio with quality images. I will be looking forward to working with her again.

The wonderful Xenia modelled for our Renaissance event yesterday and we couldn't be more pleased with her work from the day!

She put together a series of imaginative looks for the theme, posed fluidly in both the rain machine and the tank, with grace and poise and was a general pleasure to be around. Comms were great and she was there early to get ready.

This was only her second time in the tank but you wouldn't know as she is a natural and also a consummate professional!

We hope to be seeing much more of her at the studio and if anyone hasn't worked with her yet, you MUST!

110/10!

Xenia and I shot on a shoot stayed and organised by Tabitha Boydell at The Boardroom. Having worked with Xen previously I knew that the shoot would produce great images and it did - it was cracking!

Lovely person to work with who is able to put her many years of ballet training to use in creating poses which are full of poise and precision.

More than happy to recommend.

Sensual Art

I only had 4 short sets with Xen at one of Tabitha Boydell's events, but in that time she was able to demonstrate her skill and experience in front of the camera, taking a mood and expressing it fully, exploiting the space available to maximum effect.

It was a delight to work with you, Xen, and get these marvellous pictures in the ballgowns!

Our encounter today was all too brief. Despite that we have created some interesting images.

This young Lady is very organised, good communicator, full of ideas and creativity, beautiful poses and expressions. I nearly forgot to mention she is Beautiful.

I would gladly recommend her to any Photographer.

I look forward to our next (hopefully longer) shoot :)

The 1magination Emporium

Xenia is just THE best.

When it came to choosing someone for our second "Originals" video we needed someone who was expressive, a posing machine and literally a creative dynamo - and she literally ticks all of these boxes.

She made the journey all the way down to London to meet up with our team, and from the moment she arrived we knew we had made the perfect choice. The energy she has is very addictive, and Xen brought her A game to our shoot.

Across several locations of the Square Mile, she proceeded to produce the most jaw dropping footage and stills. The finished video is literally epic, and we are so grateful to her than she probably realises.

Xenia is simply phenomenal. Our work together has opened so many doors to new friends and opportunities, and we look back on what we achieved together with her that day with a great sense of accomplishment and pride.

We cannot wait to see her again. THANK YOU, XEN!

This was my first time shooting with Xenia, from the get go she was very bubbly and humorous making her very easy to get along with.

When we started shooting I was incredibly surprised by her ability to get into all forms of poses and moods, the shots that came out from it were some of my favourite!

Highly recommend

WHAT A LADY!

I'd originally arranged to work with Xenia in Derby around a month ago, but we unfortunately had to postpone the shoot as I'd caught COVID. Thankfully we already had a separate booking in the diary to work together on a content day for The Imagination Emporium, and boy - was it worth the wait!

Along with Sister Of Sinister and Jacob Cameron Hill, we spend the day in multiple locations in London creating content and having a lot of fun doing so.

I had an idea of what to expect from Xenia, and she brought all that to the table AND MORE - and quite honestly I am in complete admiration of everything she does. She is quite honestly incredible! Her work ethic, posing, styling - all flawless!

Xenia is really easy to get along with, has a great sense of humour, looks phenomenal and is HIGHLY recommended by myself!

Here's to rearranging our original shoot, and more future adventures too!

Modelling is a craft. Yes, there are aspects that you either have or don’t have… but to excel you have to be determined to improve and to succeed. Xenia has clearly applied this to her modelling, but also behind the lens… as a photographer. It’s clear that she has a natural eye for shots and the creativity to imagine what could work, and she has clearly invested hard work and dedication into developing as a brilliant photographer.
