I had the pleasure of doing a second shoot yesterday with Beth.

We went through a number of styles from fashion to art nude and Beth was brilliant doing a number of hair and makeup changes all of which added great variety to the shoot.

She works well under direction or just poses of her own volition which is great.

Beth is very flexible, friendly and relaxed the time just flew bye.

cant wait for the next one.

Had a fantastic photoshoot with Beth Kate Taylor and Hamish Scott. They are both exceptionally talented as dancers (ballet, ballroom and probably any other) and modelling. I asked them to include emotions and imagine objects for me to add retrospectively. They did not bat an eyelid and were both very creative when needed. Professional, good looking, excellent modelling, flowing and dramatic dancing - these are two models I really recommend to anyone who wants to add some great photos to their portfolio. Oh, and they are both great company so you are also likely to have a thoroughly enjoyable time in the process.

I booked to shoot with Beth at very short notice after she posted a last minute casting. I hadn't worked with Beth before, I'm glad I was able to make it to the location because Beth is wonderful to work with. I hadn't thought of a specific theme and shared with Beth a couple of collections with images that I thought might work for the location in which she was shooting.

Beth was enthusiastic about the ideas and was very approachable, professional and engaged throughout. Beth can create beautiful shapes with ease and nothing was too much trouble. I'm really pleased with the images that I've reviewed so far, which can be attributed to Beth rather than my lack of prep.

It's understandable that she is such a highly reviewed and revered model.

Would I recommend working with Beth... I think you would be a fool not to!

I look forward to working with Beth at some point in the future.

Wow - another sensational shoot with Beth at the Scorpion Residence. As well as being a creatively free spirit, Beth is meticulously organised and communicates exceptional well. Our shoots are great fun and there's a lot of creative energy about. We shot a whole range of stuff including frocks, art nude and cosplay. I have so many superb images to choose from and I'll get working on them straight away. Thanks Beth, can't wait for the next one!! :-)

Lovely to have Beth doing another shoot here recently, this time with the excellent derwoodphotography.

Beth is very approachable and pleasant to engage with, plus of course a great model with excellent posing ability and form. You can also see a fine collection of images that have been captured of her in these spaces thus far.

Respectful of the location and props available and certainly welcome to return. Happy to fully recommend! - Lee :-)

Just hosted Beth at my place for a second shoot to get in a jacuzzi shoot before she leaves the Midlands.

Arrived on the train with a plethora of outfits and looks shooting to art nude level.

She also was very kind to do some headshots for me as I needed some demos for a job.

As always the time just flew by and we caught up over a couple of cups of coffee too.

Work ethic, figure, knowledge, personality - it's douze points from me! 😉

Reccomend Beth to any Midlands tog before it's too late.

Thanks Beth - I don't think I'm the only tog up here who can genuinely say you will be missed. x

Another fantastic shoot with Beth with much more low key light theme for the shoot . Beth was super excited about the ideas which helped with setting up shots on the day

Communication as always was spot on to develop the ideas from the suggested moodboard to fit the space we were using for the shoot.

What can I say that has not been said before talented , professional model who makes only level of photographers life easier to get the shoots you want.

Highly recommended

The year is over and I have achieved my ambition to produce a hardback book detailing our journey through art - drawing and painting. In the book I pay tribute to the superb modelling of Beth. Over the course of a year, it has been an honour my privilege, and a joy to collaborate with Beth. “She is the perfect embodiment of a nude model. She has a beautiful body, free of artificial adornments. She is beautiful in personality, unaffected , modest and totally natural . We have collaborated to produce the pictures of the book. Every figure in the book is a pose created by Beth, and drawn from life. I am tremendously grateful, for the effort she has made to envision my thoughts, and to go to lengths to pose them for me. I have had the greatest joy in this work and I believe we have both found it a rich and fulfilling experience.

My third shoot with Beth, this time as part of a art nude duo shoot with Lenza 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 Beth and Lenza in the summer.

Beth had been on my WTWW list for a while, and the chance to shoot at her place finally arose when I was on my way home from the North. Communications beforehand were great, and Beth had all the requested outfits ready when I arrived.

I'm one of those who likes having to think on my feet while shooting in unfamiliar surroundings, and although I had some set ideas there was also a degree of improvisation involved as well. To her credit Beth was happy to go with my ideas and was more than happy to suggest her own as well. The result (aside from one concept that didn't work and that was entirely down to me not thinking it through properly) is a lot of pictures that I'm very happy with indeed. The whole shoot was a relaxed affair and we had plenty of common ground to talk about over a cuppa both at the beginning and part way through.

Unfortunately for those of you in the Midlands Beth is apparently moving back down to London soon. Fortunately for me this means it will be much easier to organise shoots in future, which I will most certainly do.

Do I recommend Beth? 100% yes. Thank you for a great shoot.

Beth and I have shot together a few times before in the studio, and I took her up on the offer of shooting from her home apartment. The apartment itself had good natural light (as she shows in one of her folders), and was lovely and warm! I also got to see the vastness of Beth's clothing collection (spare room is a walk in wardrobe!)

I'd shared a moodboard with some ideas beforehand, and as ever, Beth posed brilliantly, took direction where needed, was perfectly made up (herself) and was great to chat to. A Spotify playlist that was exactly to my taste rounded things off.

Looking forward to getting round to editing some of the great shots!

100% recommended. James

Kate made a long journey to the shoot at my studio. Her communication was excellent and she arrived on time fully prepared with the clothing requested for an art nude shoot.

We spent some time discussing my ideas and she was very patient.

She is extremely easy to work with and the shoot was great fun. I obtained some lovely images and the time sped by.

Beth is certainly someone I would like to work with again and I thoroughly recommend her.

Had my first shoot with Beth-Kate yesterday what a lovely, friendly lady, Beth was a pleasure to work with. Beth was very flexible in what and how we shot, she was happy to work undirected and took direction very well. Very enjoyable shoot, the time flew by. Looking forward to working with Beth again soon, highly recommended.

I worked with Beth Kate on a recent short trip to Birmingham.

And I was delighted that I did.

She was first to arrive and was ready to go very shortly after we got to the studio. She knew the style I wanted to shoot and was well prepared with outfits and ideas to suit.

We had a great half day working with some wonderful window light as well as studio strobes.

Beth Kate was really enjoyable to work with and as a result of our shoot I immediately invited her to Dublin to work at my studio on a couple of days of 1-2-1s and workshops.

I'm really looking forward to working with her again.

So today (Thursday) I had a very last minute shoot with Beth after seeing her casting call late doors yesterday (Wednesday). So we hadn't really planned anything and completely winged it. The few pre-shoot comms we did have (due to the 11th-hour nature of the shoot) were excellent.

With her travel options limited and my house out of action today due to contractors working, Beth invited me to shoot her at her beautiful home in Royal Leamington Spa. As you may have seen Beth is leaving the area soon, and with it her flat. I would honestly reccomend getting in a shoot there before she does pack up and move on; it's a well-kept, beautiful setup and Beth is clearly very house-proud. It gives off a perfect vibe-mix of "strong independent woman" with "grounded, down-to-earth, traditional-valued girl"

...which brings me onto Beth who is the quintessential mix of both! She is exceptional at what she does but if you shoot at her home, she is an incredibly kind host - keeping me powered by some very nice coffee indeed!

She's extremely chill, laid-back and chats for England - she has a Musical Theatre background, so I think we "got" each other at "Hello" as far as working relationships go!

But that training not only means she has an flawless work ethic, but needs virtually zero direction, on the rare occasion it's required she picks up your intentions very clearly. She's also able to do Makeup & Hair to excellent standards. Finally, Beth clearly takes very good care of herself (as you have to in the Dance/MT game!) and has a wonderful figure.

Midlands togs - grab her whilst you can, because you won't regret it for a second. 100% will be organising a second shoot before her departure.

This was my FIFTH shoot with Beth. As you can see, I really enjoy shooting with her :-). I had a couple of specific ideas I wanted to explore and, as ever, Beth was well attuned to what I was trying to do, very patient while I messed around with lights and seemed to predict every time what poses I was after. As a result I got some fab images which I was really pleased with. Thanks again Beth for a great shoot.

Wow, wow, wow. I had the immense pleasure of shooting Beth Kate today after responding to a casting she'd made.

If heard good things from another guy I know but she blew all of my expectations.

Organised, friendly, welcoming - all the things you hope for but just so easy to get on with and work with.

Kicking myself rhat we'd not shot before but now I know what I've been missing I'll be back for more.

Thanks Beth. See you soon!

I can honestly say that Beth is one of the most hard working models I have had the pleasure to work with so far in my short photographic career. Her pre-shoot comms were great. She responded quickly and comprehensively and we were able to set up the shoot despite quite a few changes initiated by me. As a person, Beth is friendly and helpful with a gentle sense of humour. I also found her exceptionally willing to get stuck in helping me to move heavy furniture and props around as necessary.

The shoot at AuraPhotographic in Weedon Bec was excellent.

My primary objective was to make the most of Beth's wonderful talent for ballet poses and jumps and that is what we spent most of the day working with. The natural light at Aura was a massive bonus and it helped me create some beautiful soft images. Towards the end of the day, as the light began to fail, we moved onto jumps and poses in the Infinity Cove and, since this was my first attempt at these, Beth proved to be patient and massively helpful throughout.

I will definitely ask Beth to work with me again and I hope that she will agree. I can absolutely recommend her to other photographers: you won't be disappointed.

Thanks for a wonderful day.

Decadent Images

Beth and I had exchanged messages several times without actually arranging a shoot. Then an opportunity to shoot at her home came up and putting to one side my concerns about my mobility we went for it. I am so glad we did!

After receiving the seal of approval from her cat, Beth and I had a chat over a cuppa and quickly got on.

Beth's apartment has fabulous natural light in the living room (even though on the day the weather wasn't great) and we shot some lingerie and art nude. Beth is an absolute dream to work with. She is able to effortlessly pose freely but also takes direction well. The three hours of our shoot passed far too quickly but we got some great images. Afterwards Beth kindly helped me down the stairs (no, she didn't push me!). A beautiful, talented model and a lovely person (and she even kindly laughed at some of my jokes!), I cannot rate Beth too highly. If you get the chance to shoot with her then grab it with both hands! Highly recommended.

The Mad Hatter

The fourth time we have worked together and hopefully it's very unlikely to be the last. Beth Kate is a joy to work with, talented, hard working, creative and adaptable. Our plans for the day had to change as an order for equipment I needed had arrived with a part missing so plans were revised. We were also given a dull, rainy day and I now wanted to use natural light. All no problem for Beth, a quick rethink, a smile then voila! We were away. She has a great sense of humour, patience and a commitment to get the image. This was my first booking for 2023 and thank you Beth, it was a delight. Beth is highly recommended to other creatives, a great model
