I had the great pleasure of working with Camellia recently in her beautiful home.

Camellia has a very professional approach to her work as a model while at the same time being great fun to work with.

She has an artists eye and fully immerses herself in the art of image making which is a great joy to the photographer.

Also Camellia posses a unique look and has natural distinctive posing skills which always convey a sense of feeling and narrative.

Her communication before, during and after a shoot are exemplary.

Camellia is in the process of renovating her home at the moment but this does not stop it being a photographers paradise! - full of beautiful and interesting items of furniture, architecture and natural light sources.

Working with Camellia is more than just a 'photoshoot', she has a warm welcoming personality which make collaborating with her a personally rewarding experience as well as artistically satisfying.

HIGHLY recommended.

A second shoot with this lovely model. Excellent communications, genuinely friendly, and a classy lady who also knows what she wants from her photos, and takes pride in them. I've not met that many models who own books on modelling of various styles, so I found that a really interesting dimension to our shoot. Only 3 and a half hours today but it went like an hour, which tells it's own story. Look forward to further collaboration and we've already discussed some subjects :) :) :)

A couple of hours today for an initial exploratory photoshoot at her own very interesting flat. This model understates her experience and capability as she rebuilds her portfolio. However, it's not long before it becomes obvious this beautiful lady (I don't use the words beautiful or lady, lightly) knows a lot about modelling, including theory, palettes, and composition. Lovely personality, interesting to talk to, and a tough cookie, we experimented together with minor posing variations, colour, and texture - very happy to self-judge, analyse, and contribute. Only two hours today but they flew by so quickly and I very much hope to have the pleasure of working with this lovely lady again. Soon.

I’ve just has a photoshoot with Camellia. This was probably my longest anticipated shoot. We’ve been corresponding for months (I think that there are novels shorter than our email stack). At last we were able to find the time together and I visited her at her home which was well suited to photography, with a large well-lit uncluttered living room.

Camellia is a beautiful model with a voluptuous figure and a lovely face. She’s highly educated (two degrees) and a great conversationalist. She’s also very considerate and offered me coffee and nibbles several times during the shoot.

The best part of working with Camellia was her engagement in the photography. I’ve never worked with a model who took such an active part in the process … she looked at my images in the camera and often suggested re-doing them in a new way. She also did a lot of experimental photography, creating new poses and arrangements with a mirror. Working with Camellia is a true photographer-model partnership.

I thoroughly enjoyed our shoot. It was probably the most relaxed and innovative session I’ve ever had, and, for me, a great learning experience. Even when we finished, it was not over. Camellia looked at my source images and then sent me detailed critics of many of them with editing suggestions. Thank you Camellia.

Camellia came to the studio the other night for another shoot on her route back to modelling after a break.

With pre-shoot comms having agreed an overarching stylistic approach we got down to work.

We shot 6 looks in a few hours and worked with a variety of furniture as Camellia felt more comfortable with a prop to work against.

I tend not to work with models with less experience so I'm not the most fluent at direction, but we managed between us to create some really nice painterly images in our time together.

Camellia is a sweet soul very much about creating art rather than any old image.

Happy to recommend Camellia to those looking for someone different in their portfolio.

I did a shoot with Felice yesterday at her place.

What can I say, Felice welcomed with a lovely friendly smile and coffee and a pastry, such a lovely lady, we had a lovely chat before the shoot

Felice is coming back to modelling after a substantial break and I really admire the way she threw herself into it, she was prepared to try anything I suggested to create some lovely shots and her confidence grew tremendously as the shoot went on.

I really admire what Felice is doing and what she's setting out to achieve, she deserves to succeed and I'm sure she will.

It was a lovely afternoon with a lovely and beautiful lady.

Lovely images to follow ;)

I had really enjoyable shoot with Felice last week. She is a very professional model and also very friendly and easy to work with. Pre shoot communication were prompt, and we used her apartment for the shoot. She had a good range of cloths and she delivered just the classy look we wanted for this shoot, would highly recommend.

Had a shoot with Camellia at my studio and had a great time. Such a lovely lady and a pleasure to work with.

Came extremely well prepared with a variety of outfits and worked extra hard to ensure we got some really strong images.

Camellia is really good at knowing what works and what doesn't and helped me as a photographer try some different shots which I've now been able to apply in other shoots.

Would definitely recommend Camellia and don't let the fact she is only just back from a break put you off - you won't be disappointed shooting with her.

Worked with Felice on a video project recently - she was extremely communicative prior to the shoot, turned up early & even went the extra mile during a slight glitch in the process (product fault, not hers!). Felice was flexible, attentive & courteous throughout the process, from booking to payment & showed genuine interest in the project. I can recommend Felice as a conscientious, understanding, intelligent, helpful & willing model who won't let you down. Simply put, "professional throughout"

I have had the pleasure of having Felice staying with me for the last few days.

She is a fantastic model, tirelessly working and posing almost all day yesterday in a variety of locations and outfits. She is happy to keep going to get the shot, whether that means posing on a not-particularly-warm beach, putting her face in a bush or lying underneath buildings - & we have some stunning images because of this!

Her communication before and during the shoot has been excellent and she is a lovely person and easy to speak with to boot!

Looking forward to working with Felice again!

I had the great pleasure of working with Felice today on a tuition day at Hardwick Hall, County Durham, having Felice to myself for the day brought out some great shots in a variety of settings both indoors and out doors, if you ever get the chance to attend a tuition day with this wonderful model, then I strongly advise you to seize the opportunity with both hands. I for one would highly recommend Felice to any photographer, experienced or newcomer, especially if you are seeking that classic vintage shot. All I can say is thank you Felice, and I cant wait for the Autumn workshop, if it comes off as well as yesterday I for one will enjoy the experience.

Had the great pleasure and privilege of working with Felice on a workshop we did together. Felice's travel was not as easy as anticipated but she was totally unfazed and made light of what had obviously been a bit of a trek.

Felice is utterly professional in her work and approach and a workshop puts a lot of extra demands on a model but Felice was perfect throughout the (long) day and her selection of beautiful clothes, many exquisite genuine period items, contributed hugely to the day.

We are planning another event in Autumn and sure that will be special.

Studio Antics World

Felice was here again today - brightness and professionalism unhindered. The original gentle gentlewoman - I have to name her the Princess of vintage. Welcome here and recommended by me always

I had a last minute shoot with Felice at Studio Antics and although we only had a few hours to plan, the level of experience and professionalism that Felice possesses made for a very successful shoot. I have worked with Felice before and she never fails to come up with different styles and outfits, she poses with ease and always manages to portray different moods and styles which suit any venue.

I have no hesitation in recommending Felice to any photographer, especially if you are looking for a classy vintage theme. We have worked both indoors and on location with excellent results everytime.

Also, if you get chance to shoot at the Studio Antics location then take it, the location is amazing, thank you Jan, for the opportunity

I had a shoot yesterday with Felice at studio antics

Felice was totally professional and the pre shoot communications were great to help make sure we had the right things for what was planned. She came with a great selection of outfits and a smile on her face ready to make great images.

I would highly recommend her to photographers of all levels.

Many thanks again.

Had a fantastic shoot yesterday with Felice, who stepped in at short notice within an hour by replying to a casting after I had a cancellation.

Pre shoot comms were excellent and we agreed to shoot a vintage theme at Felice's home. Despite the short notice she was very well prepared and had a beautiful range of genuine vintage clothes and lingerie. An amazing lady who strives to create the perfect image.

She is a very warm and welcoming lady, very passionate about creating great images and I valued her input and critique, which she provided in an extremely positive and constructive manner.

Highly recommended and I would definitely work with her again.

Thank you

I had a great shoot with Lynlee on Saturday at the beautiful, but very cold, Sutton Scarsdale Hall. She came prepared with a great Victorian outfit and lovely original umbrella. She posed effortlessly and did a great job putting up with the icy wind. She is very relaxed and easy to communicate with. She takes her craft very seriously and it definitely shows in the photos. I have no doubt the final results will be excellent. I'd definitely work with her again and would highly recommend her as a model.

I had my first shoot with Felice yesterday and it was a wonderful experience. She is a beautiful and talented model, so easy to talk to and work with. Pre-shoot communications was excellent and she arrived with a range of clothes to complement the shoot perfectly. During the shoot I feel we worked really well together, discussing ideas, reviewing images and refining poses as we went. I hope we are able to work together many more times. Highly recommended
