I always enjoy my sessions with Becca and this was not exception. Becca works hard to get the images you are seeking and has a great range of poses and ideas to bring to any session. Look forward to our next shoot

Another fabulous shoot with Becca. This time I had booked Lite Studio near Daventry.

Becca arrived early and we went through some ideas. The studio has great natural light but as it was mostly cloudy and windy we kept trying to catch the sun & shadows. We eventually did!As always, Becca is great fun to work with & we developed loads of ideas throughout the shoot. Her creativity and bubbly style is infectious and makes working with her very enjoyable and highly rewarding. On top of that she’s a lovely person. I’m very happy with the results.

We have the next shoot booked & definitely will book more.

I can highly recommend Becca

This was my first shoot with the wonderful phantom elfsire (AKA Becca)

Pre coms were great and an early arrival meant we had plenty of time to chat and plan out our shoot.

Becca has an immensely creative mind and possesses the art skills to create her own props and masks. I'm looking forward to shooting some of these on a future shoot.

For this shoot we concentrated on creating textures, movement and using minimal lighting to achieve mood laced with narrative.

The results are very good.

I'd be very happy to work with this fun, easy to get along with, professional model in the future and would recommend her to other photographers who want to develop a shoot that borders on the extraordinary.

This was my second shoot with Phantom Elfshire (Becca) and this time we worked on creating something unique based upon a simple narrative word.

Using a bird mask, some feathers and a black cloak with a dark painted backdrop, the theme was 'Bird'. Becca embraced the concept and posed in various ways that mimicked the way birds of all kinds stand and hunt.

The second set was on the narrative word 'Scarecrow', so using minimal costumes, a large hat and some long sticks she adopted a human/scarecrow poses.

We then experimented with some other conceptual ideas, 'ghost' and 'eve' and planned another shoot.

Becca is very hardworking, punctual and immensely creative in her own right. She's easy to get along with and a pleasure to work with.

Looking forward to our next shoot and highly recommended.

Another shoot with the talented and hard working Becca.

Prompt and prepared we decided to take advantage of the good weather and did an outdoor shoot in nearby woods and fields.

Even with a fairly loose theme to the shoot Becca still gave me 100% effort and enthusiasm and initial results are looking good.

Happily recommend this wonderful model and can't wait to shoot her again.

This was my first shoot with Becca.

Pre-comms were great and we shared ideas and images that I was hoping to achieve.

Becca arrived on time with plenty of clothes albeit we ironically only used a few. Becca was open to the ideas discussed and posed well throughout the shoot, re posing as requested for certain shots.

We had a good laugh throughout which I think is important on shoots.

Images look great and am now editing. Would definitely recommend Becca to other photographers.

I have shot with Becca several times and she never disappoints. She is a bundle of energy, chatty and a laugh, who takes her work seriously but not herself. This was initially a session where I could create some lighting "templates" to set up quickly with predictable results. Thanks to Becca we overachieved my target and we created some great images as well.

I look forward to working with Becca again and I recommend her totally.

I was looking forward to my second shoot with Becca, and again she didn't dissapoint. Pre-shoot comms were excellent, she even took the time to check out the website for a hall I had hired so she knew what to expect.

Becca arrived ahead of time bringing plenty of outfits, some we'd discussed prior plus many more. She followed my ideas and poses and suggested many more throughout the day. Even sometimes suggesting where I could be for better images :) - We bounced ideas around, making the most of the day. Enjoyed her company too, the long day just flew by.

In all made for a very pleasurable shoot getting many great images we were both pleased with. Can't ask for more.

Highly recommend Becca, and will definatetly shoot with her again in the near future.

I've been looking forward to a working with Becca for some time and today we got together for an awesome shoot. Pre-shoot communication was excellent, and Becca arrived in plenty of time with lots of outfits.

Give Becca an outline of your ideas and away she goes, flowing from one pose to the next. Very natural and enthusiastic, we even managed to fit in some location work in spite of the cold weather.

Becca is very highly recommended, and I hope to arrange another shoot with her when the weather is warmer.

First shoot with Becca, and I have to fully agree with her other feedback- she is very enthusiastic, professional and great to work with.

Her enthusiasm is infectious :) we bounced ideas, she took on mine & easily understood what I wanted with little direction. Becca also came up with others that fitted the shoot. Her outfits she bought along were great, the one for the fireplace room was perfect!

Many thanks Becca, looking forward to working together again.

I always look forward to visits from this talented and enthusiastic model.

I am delighted to say that Becca in becoming a regular and very much appreciated model visitor at Keranda.

Phantom Elfsire is such a naturally talented model, always adaptable to a wide variety of themes and styles.

Profile notes state "Not the youngest, but experienced and enthusiastic about creating art".

I can totally verify the above quote, except for! "Not the youngest"if 31 years old fit's, that makes me feel very ancient.

Brilliant, Reliable, Enthusiastic,Talented,Great Company, A Five star performer.

Thanks Becca, see you again soon.

My first time back in the studio after all our lockdowns, I was put at my ease and I could not have wanted for a better model - patient and willing to take direction but full of helpful ideas to cope with my daft suggestions, (from the bride of dracula, through to being prepared for the rain). Equally willing to work on greenscreen with no idea of the potential outcome making my task easy beyond measure will look forward to working with Becka again.

I have had several shoots with Becca now and she is always a joy to work with. Buts her heart and soul into everything she does. Communications are always great and arrives on time. Will certainly use Becca again and happy to recommend her to others. Again.

Becca was my model of choice for a flour photography workshop I was running and was superb throughout including great communication beforehand. By the very nature of what we were doing, she had to be understanding and accept that it was going to be very messy. I could not have expected any more from her and the clothing she brought along worked great. She also got on very well with the photographers attending.

A number of ideas for future shoots surfaced during the course of the day so I feel sure that I will be having her in front of my camera again very soon. Highly recommended.

Becca turned up for a club studio night . This was the 23rd time I have photographed her, so I don't need to elaborate as to how highly I regard her as a model. She is inventive in her posing and it is always a joy to see her.

Becca came back again for another underwater shoot. As always she is a delight to work with and didn't disappoint again bringing fantastic costumes for us to shoot. I very highly recommend her, and can't wait to see what fantastical outfit she will bring next time. Thanks Becca

Another session with Becca and another great time. Becca always brings plenty of energy to her shoots and is not afraid to pose or try out ideas. More than happy to recommend this lovely bundle of energy and ideas

What can I say about Becca other than that she is full of so much energy, drive, smiles and laughter, it was a pleasure having her in the studio again yesterday. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and an absolute blast, I have never met a model with such contagious energy, very uplifting. She attended the studio to shoot with myself and another photographer and she worked really hard throughout the shoot to give us both images we were happy with. She came well prepared with a wide variety of outfits and she was very patient when it came to taking direction.

Becca is a great model and I came away with some really wonderful shots thanks to her enthusiasm, posing ability and her willingness to take on board our ideas. It was a real pleasure to work with her and I look forward to working with her again in the near future. Thank you Becca it was great to see you yesterday!

Excellent comma, was reccomended by studio. I met becca waiting to get into the studio, was immediately impressed and I wasn’t disappointed. The best model I have ever shot with, and got some excellent shots . Would love to again. If I get the chance.

Had another shoot with Becca, this time at my farm again but on this occasion experimenting with underwater shots in an indoor pool.

Becca knew what she was doing - she has quite a bit of experience of underwater shooting but it was new territory for me.

Becca is the consumate professional and had rapidly sorted out the best means of shooting using a perspex aquarium weighted down with bricks and sand.

I totally trusted her to keep my prize DSLR safe even with water lapping at the edges.

She braved the cold water, the slightly higher than comfortable levels of chlorine, and spending hours immersed in the pool diving below the surface in order to get the desired shots.

This is a work in progress and we learned a great deal through experiment and trial and error. That we actually got some amazing images was entirely down to Becca's persistence, resilience, tolerance and willingness to subject herself time and again to great discomfort and pushing the absolute limits.

One note of caution: underwater shooting is potentially very dangerous for the model. We took all sort of precautions - but I think the Ace card in my case was that Becca was already so experienced and confident underwater. She swims like a mermaid!

But I would caution against experimenting with this unless at least one of the party is experienced, and preferably having an assistant on hand too.

There are just so many things that can potentially go wrong.

Becca is amazing, tireless, multi-talented and absolutely dogged in obtaining the very best images possible. Absolutely highly recommended and we already have more shoots booked.
