References for MoonChild777

Well I wanted to shoot with her again, and I did.

Her references show you should work with her. It’s hard to draw any other conclusion.

She is professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, inquisitive and just very very good.

But it is as a person she just makes the day so easy. Delightful in every way, interesting, decisive and open to discussion.

I captured some superb images unlike my usual style but which pleased me very much. Very reminiscent of 60s style. Not sure Catarina was over impressed but as she said it’s her job to model and produce what the photographer wants. That’s why I will continue to work with her (If she’ll let me)

The essentials first: A true joy to work with!

My first time shooting with Catarina at my studio in Wexford.

We worked seamlesly together for three glorious hours on a religiously themed project.

Catarina is the supreme professional model, taking my direction with ease and, more importantly in my opinion, adding her experience and knowledge to aid me in capturing high quality images.

I am, a full day after the shoot, still in awe of her modelling skills and her divine personality.

As so many photographers have already mentioned, Catarina is a model of the highest professional standard. I simply cannot recommend her highly enough.

It will be both an honour and joy to shoot with her again.

Os meus sinceros agradecimentos a si catarina.

I had a first shoot with Moonchild yesterday. I would completely recommend her for shoots. She will be on time, no matter what the distance travelled. She will be perfectly prepared for the shoot on arrival.

When Moonchild arrives you will be met with a wonderful smile and an eagerness to provide you with the images you require.

All the above is important, but during the she is also very amusing and entertaining, and we had some amazing chats during and after the shoot.

We will definitely shoot again

Caterina was absolutely wonderful to work with. Great sense of what I needed while shooting with her. Everything was just right from the start to finish of shoot. I loved her enthusiasm and the love she has for your job, also great sense of humour too.

I will definitely work with Catherina again in 2025

She is one of the best models I've ever worked with, a super nice person, very professional and creative, I can't recommend her enough. Thank you Catarina for the photoshoot and amazing photos!

My second shoot with Catarina. Our first was good: this one produced outstanding images! We shot at Catarina's home, she kindly met me at the tube station, which has a dreamy amount of natural light. I brought flash lighting but we both agreed we prefered natural light and proceeded to spend four hours using exactly that. She even provided live music via her flat mate practising, exceptionally well, classical piano music. What's not to love? Very much looking forward to creating future magic with her should Catarina be up for a third shoot :)

Moon Child arrived presenting me with a bunch of Red Roses; never been given Flowers before! Single Red Roses were the ideal vessels for the brass tubes of my 7 trumpets proclaiming Revelations , an inspiring touch for our Apocalypse theme; which we had together discussed at great lengths ,before the shoot ! With my meagre means it was a daunting to ful justice to the Visionary Apocalypse in the Book of Revelations . Many a great Artist has illustrated those sublime archaic verses! 'Come and See' , I was in Awe as if by magic MoonChild777 appeared as the Bejewelled Naked Strumpet of Babylon .Freely posing with my Pentagram Set amongst the 7 Trumpets & 7 Snake Candlesticks she drank from my silver chalice of iniquities to realise our VISIONS. 7 was always the number for Revelations which was apt for the 777 of Moon Child Although I had some jewellery for her outfit , Moon Child kindly presented me with her precious jewels ! Moon Child is a sublime sensual Beauty & highly intelligent ! We are already discussing ideas for another Dark Magic themed Shoot .

I got to shoot with Catarina today at her location and it was a fabulous shoot.

We had exchanged a few ideas for the shoot in advance and Catarina had asked about starting set and makeup choice etc. When I arrived she was shoot ready.

We shot an array of soft portraits, moody portraits and a few fashion sets.

We shot some sheer, implied and tasteful nude sets to finish.

Our shoot was relaxed, free flowing and enjoyable.

Catarina is a lovely model to work with, friendly, professional and really amazing posing.

I enjoyed our shoot and look forward to working together again in the future.

Catarina is one of the most hard working and creative models that I have had the great pleasure of working with. We've shot together a number of times and her creativity and great attitude are always a great contribution to the mood and style of the shoot.

I’ve had a lovely day. Catarina stepped in to cover a last minute pull out by someone who had requested a shoot.

Her communication in the few hours we had was clear and friendly. She arrived at the station with a smile on her face and the enthusiasm to satisfy my shoot.

I had been aware of her folio for sometime and in all honesty slightly overawed by the professionalism of the modelling and quality of her work.

There was no need; easy to talk with, enthusiastic about everything and a natural in posing.

She said something which stuck in my mind and a lot could learn from. I said ‘the camera loves you, you’re so photogenic ‘. Her reply ‘it’s my job’. There lies the professionalism of a truly delightful person, who seemed to get through so much effortlessly and still have time to have interesting conversations.

I want to shoot with her again, definitely.

She turned what could have been a disappointing day into a real joy.

I had my second shoot with Catarina, and we were both excited to try something new, and shoot a clip on 16mm film.

Catarina is such a wonderful model, super professional, always eager to try out new ideas, daring, bubbly, and a pure joy to work with.

Because we shot on 16mm film, setting up the lights and camera can take a while, but she was so patient with me, and always gave 200 percent during a long eight hour shoot.

The script asked for her to take selfies with a small Polaroid camera, and it confirmed, what I always suspected - she's a better photographer than I am :)

I can't wait for the film to be developed and scanned, so I can start editing the clip.

I'm looking forward to working with Catarina again, every time I get the chance to do so - she's a wonderful Muse, and I will never tire to capture her on film.

Thank you so much Catarina - you're marvelous!

Uniquely talented, incredibly funny and beautiful to the core.

My only regret about working with Moonchild is that I waited so long to do it. Before our shoot I dropped her a very sketchy mood board of my thoughts, she understood and embraced.

My head is simply buzzing with ideas that I want to share with her for future shoots.

I dithered (a bit) about shooting Catarina before finally trusting to Dee @ Fine and Dandee studio's recommendation. And then I was late arriving so I had limited explications from this shoot. That was a mistake!! Catarina is lovely and the images we captured amazing. Easily the best I think I've achieved at the studio and I've only edited two! Catarina is luckily fairly local to me so I have no excuse not to create with her again. Thank you Catarina for super productive shoot :)

Fine and DanDee Studio's

It is always lovely to have Catarina in the studio. She really is a breath of fresh air.

Absolutely professional, stunning and works tirelessly to achieve fantastic work for all the photographers.

Look forward to seeing her again soon.

Darkness there & Nothing More , the beguiling Beautiful Magical Moon Child entered into my Dark Chamber Studio to become once more the the devilish ebony bird of yore . This is my second session shooting the Edgar Allan Poe's sinister Raven theme with Moon Child . She never disappoints , creating a new Crow Makeup design , Perfect as the oiseau noir the naked nubile wore a minimal outfit of black feathers to photographer her entirely in sepia for a soft focus vintage look !

It has only been a year since I photographed the classy incredible beautiful Moon Child but we have created many amazing images together . I am always excited by the results & this was no exception! She is artistic & highly intelligent & poses to perfection , so I never direct giving her free rein .I am enchanted by the Muse Moon Child & already discussing future themed shoots with her .

So Evocative of the Edgar Allan Poe's sinister poem' The Raven' & the dark magical symbolism of Crows; Moon Child shape shifted to become this devilish Ebony Bird using her considerable makeup Crow design skills & wearing a minimal outfit of just a black feathered collar she assumed the role of the Raven / Crow . Before my eyes with her talons out She freely posed as this evil seductive bird of nightmares.

Moon Chid always knows what is intuitively required for themes we share ,so it always a joint venture of experimentation which evolves as we shoot . I have now photographed the incredible beautiful & intelligent Moon Child numerous times & always there is a different flavour to our imagery . I am highly grateful to Photograph the Stunning Magical Muse Moon Child ; so I am eager to create more mysterious inspiring Photography with Her Soon .X

Catarina applied to a casting I put up to work with the new online magazine Discordia, and I booked her instantly as I knew she would be good, although I didn’t actually work with Catarina myself my boss did and he was blown away with her presence in front of the camera, her insane attitude she brings to every shot, she was incredibly punctual and most importantly her pre comma were perfect. She answered every question thoroughly, we knew what we were gaining from the shoot first thought. I hope to work with her myself one day as I love this girls style and incredible personality but in the meantime I’ll look forward to seeing all the photos from the photoshoot and being in contact for another photoshoot soon.

Catarina did a fantastic job at our shoot today. First the HMU artist didn’t show and I found a former wig maker in the building who stepped in at the last minute. Part of the shoot also involved a cat who was spooked by flash and heaters. Otherwise a normal shoot :-) She was a dream to work with, very talented and really gets into character, she got the Audrey Hepburn poses perfectly and is great fun. Highly recommended.

I had my second shoot with Catarina last week which was great. I think we'd both wanted to work together again as soon as we finished our first shoot at my home studio last summer. So it was a pleasure to shoot at her flat in London this time. She sent a video of her flat which really helped me plan and allowed me to give her a good idea of what we'd be shooting before hand. Catarina is a very focused model who usually understands what you want straight away and trusts your vision if she doesn't. Caterina is quirky in a good way that brings an extra something to every image. She is friendly and easy to work with, but it's her enthusiasm that stands out and makes her so good to work with. Definitely recommended!
