Lovely shoot this morning with Claire at her home. It was was my third shoot with her, and I’ve always been very comfortable working with her. She made me feel extremely welcome, and had all the outfits ready having read my plan. Claire had a clear idea of how she was going to interpret each part of the plan, and required very little direction. She nailed all aspects of the shoot and I’ve come away with some beautiful images. And some a little bit special. Can’t wait until next time. Happy to recommend the best “girl next door” on

Purple Port!

Another lovely shoot with Claire today at her home. I we have worked together on (quick think...) nine shoots, and we are working on ideas for more location work.

Thank you Claire for putting up with me and for sharing the laughs that always seem to ensue when we meet. I am surprised how many shots we take between giggles :)

I would highly recommend Claire to any photographer who wants to work with a talented, hard working end dedicated model.

Had my second shoot with the amazing Claire at her home, it was a really pleasure to meet and work together again, we worked from fashion, Lingerie to topless. Really created some lovely images together, hope to work with her again in the future if she will have me, thanks for a lovely morning Claire, highly recommended and very professional.

We had an outdoor shoot all planned, but the weather gods had other ideas. No problem though - Claire is as versatile as they come, so we winged it on some indoor work. You can do that with Claire as her instincts and outfit choice are always spot on. As usual, Claire knocked it out the park. I'm now into double figures on my shoots with this young lady - always a pleasure, and always a fantastic shoot.

Cannot recommend her highly enough.

I had the opportunity of shooting in a wonderful venue in south Dorset, and despite the distance Claire was determined to enable me to work with her again. I am so glad that she did, working with her was as fantastic as on previous occasions. Claire really is a superb model with looks, figure, ability, attitude and professionalism of the highest standard and an outstanding wardrobe. She works hard with photographers in order to create great photographs and one look at her portfolio shows how successful she is at it. Thoroughly recommended, the only problem is choosing which pictures to edit.

An Eye for Beauty

The most recent of my half-dozen shoots with the lovely Claire - but sadly just over a year since last time. We live quite a distance from each other, but determined to book another occasion very soon. Together with Somersetman, we had a three hour shoot at Purton Hulks (my first visit there) and created some beautiful images among the boat graveyard. It was something very different, and Claire used her amazing agility to create some terrific poses. Then we moved to Upper Mills Studio and shared some time using some of the very different fashion items which Claire had brought along. Altogether a tiring but very rewarding day. Claire as ever was a trooper. I look forward to arranging the next shoot in the not too distant future.

Wow! My third shoot with Claire, and they get better and better. She has an incredible toned physique and boundless energy, both of which we put to good use at the Ships' Graveyard. With agility, strength and pure posing elegance she made some really beautiful images - so much more than I had imagined would be possible. Claire is brilliant fun to shoot with and takes everything in her stride; unfazed by tricky climbs, harsh and changing sunlight and curious members of the public, she is a total professional.

And for an encore, we did some time in the studio, delving into Claire's beautiful wardrobe. This reminded me what a powerhouse of free-posing energy she is, and how she can always surprise me with adventurous poses ("I wonder if I can do this...") and a playfulness that make me a smile every time :-).

Two perfect shoots in one. Highy recommended to all. Next shoot booked already - enough said!

I can’t think of any original superlatives here so I’ll stick with the usual… professional, stunning, versatile, expressive, gorgeous, fun, hard-working, bright, outstanding, dedicated… in short Claire is a fabulous muse who is a real joy to work with. She knows more about light, shape and the creation great images than a lot of photographers I know so regardless of your level book her, you won’t regret it.

I think having nine shoots in nine months probably makes me an addict but Claire is an awesome model that you just want to keep working with :-D Our last two sessions were back to back (Friday and Saturday) and comprised of a really cool shoot in a converted convent, a couple of great boudoir sets in her home followed by a fantastic location shoot (with lots of walking ;-) ) in a nearby forest taking in the woods, fields and a disused mill. Claire was a great guide and displayed far better agility than me… probably no surprise there :-)

To summarise. Claire, I thank you for your support, your ideas, your friendship and your honesty and the drive that encourages me to take better pictures. Looking forward to shoot number ten.

Very highly recommended.

We had our second shoot on 22/3 and our third on 18/4, so we were delighted to be able to find a day that worked for both of us to do a studio day on 16/5 to include some bluebell work in the forest.

In a week of joyous warmth, the gods decided that 16/5 would be rather cooler, so we did a brief but successful outdoor set so as to avoid Claire getting cold.

Far Forest is such a mellow place, with quality equipment and Mark always discretely on hand whenever we needed him.

Claire is someone I really appreciate working with. We have a plan of sorts, but are flexible enough in the day to just go with the flow.

Our constant back of camera checks enables me to know I’m vaguely on track and lets me adjust shots to make the most of our time.

Claire is mellow, calm, considered, focused, yet fun too. Her character shines through. Her smile genuine, her humour occasionally wicked.

I am totally recommending Claire and we hope in future to studio work with Natural light too.

Thankyou Claire for your friendship, support and most importantly your total skill that runs through you to your core.

This was my first shoot that was not in a workshop environment and Claire made the nerves disappear in no time. She is a total professional and fun and full of ideas and she was a pleasure to work with. I sincerely hope I have the opportunity to work with her again!

What can I say about the stunning Claire Topaz, that hasn't been said before ? Plenty.... If I could create the perfect model, then I would create a petite, beautifully tanned and toned beauty, with cascading light brown and warm blonde hair, beautiful brown,almost amber eyes, with stunningly gorgeous thick, long lashes, beautifully shaped lips and gorgeous flawless skin. This models posing would be faultless, her biceps would put any man to shame, she would spend time and money, ensuring her physique was amazing in every way, going to the gym, staying hydrated, eating healthily and her inner beauty would overwhelm the people around her, every single day, showering people with kindness, fun, laughter, laughing so much, your ribs hurt, and she'd have mind-blowing modelling skills, anticipating the next shot to be fabulous. She would no what looks hot, and whats not, she would no what works best for the photographer, she would care about the back of camera images, she would no if the light's right and did you take the best image possible of her, she would arrive early to every shoot, create a flawless makeup look to put any mua to shame and never, ever let you down .... this would be my perfect model... This is Claire Topaz... and then some.... why look any further for the perfect model, when you have this one at the end of your finger tips, don't miss out on the chance to work with this beautiful and fun creative lady, I could shoot Claire a thousand times and never be bored, we would always find something else to shoot, because Claire fires up your mojo and turns your ideas into reality, with stunning images to boot... what more could you ask for ? If you want the perfect images, then take one step closer to getting them... book Claire, the rest of the journey is yours. Thank you Claire, for being one of the most beautiful people in my life, and I don't just mean your look, I mean beautiful in every sense of the word. Can't wait to have you back at PoZers, counting the days, hours, seconds.. my partner in crime... lol :):):):):):):):):)

Just had the most wonderful shoot with Claire. It turned out to be a fairly technical shoot covering portraiture, colour gels and projector photography for which Claire's adaptability, patience and willingness to secure the sought after images was fully in evidence. She is a terrific model, person and so easy to collaborate with. As such, I have no hesitation in HIGHLY RECOMMENDING Claire to any fellow photographer, experienced or new, as I know she will do everything possible to make a success of any shoot. Thank you Claire :) Highly Recommended.

Claire came to Spitfire Studios in Swindon for our first shoot.

Pre-shoot comms were good, Claire arrived in good time on the day and was a pleasure to work with as we tried a number of outfits, backgrounds and lighting setups to get a good variety of images from the shoot – and I think that we are both very happy with the results.

Highly recommended.

Andy Walk

Did a scouting shoot.

Claire was the complete professional as ever, so little to add that hasn't already been said, however owing to her exceptional talents we now have an FPI.

Photographers you won't be disappointed just call Claire & get arranging!

Firstly a thank you for consistently great pre shoot comms and dialogue.

Our third shoot following our superb second on 22 March. As then, we worked solely with beautiful natural light, mainly with 85mm f1.8 Nikon.

It is always a delight to work with such an experienced and professional person. Claire is a role model of collaborative style, reviewing with me on back of camera as we go, having a brew, discussing sets and how to maximise the captures.

The weather window gave us a bonus of a local woodland shoot, which was excellent.

We are already planning our fourth shoot , most probably at NLS . We have so much more we can do.

Claire knows we will continue to shoot even after my new work contract from 2 July curtails my time.

I would happily shoot with Claire each week if I could.

Total recommendation.

Had my third shoot with Claire on Tuesday. Difficult to say something original so apologies if I repeat myself. Claire is an excellent model whose skills at communication are second to none. She is chatty, friendly, fun, good company, brilliant at the actual modelling bit, and (it must be a model thing) makes great tea/coffee. This time Claire was used as a canvas and was painted first as a fallen angel and then with an abstract theme. I have a feeling she fell asleep whilst being painted lol, but was very patient through it all. Thoroughly recommended and we have another shoot booked soon.

Had the very great privilege of shooting with this lovely lady again this time in a studio.

Arrived with plenty if outfits and ready to shoot.

Lots of different sets and styles and did some low key shooting with different light arrangements.

Finished with some absolutely amazing shots.

Always professional in her approach to her modelling.

Nothing ever seems too much trouble and always coming up with new ideas.

Already sorted New shoot.

Can't recommend Claire enough. Many thanks

I have been following Claire for a while on Instagram and I knew this was definitely one model I wanted to work with. You never know what to expect when working with someone new but Claire was a delight to be around and I enjoyed every moment. The images we created are some of my best work and ultimately I have to give credit to Claire for her sheer awesomeness.

Photographers, you owe it to yourselves to work with this talented lady.

I look forward to working with you again.

Red headdress themed shoot.

What a great time we had with Claire yesterday. This was not our first shoot with Claire I have worked with her a couple of times over the years and yet again Claire was friendly, professional and very talented. We had chatted briefly and Claire bought a number of items that were red just as back up.

We worked through two outfits we had bought to match the headdress and Claire providing plenty of ideas of her own and managing to keep the headdress on her head plus working with props.

I would recommend Claire every time she is so good at knowing what suits her and her posing is excellent.

Gary Stuart

Had the wonderful experience of having a shoot today with the lovely Claire topaz.She is very friendly, professional and very talented.

Pre coms where good so Claire knew what I wanted from the shoot.

We worked through several ideas and outfits with Claire providing plenty of ideas of her own. The shoot was nice and relaxed with plesent conversation flowing between us and a few laughs along the way as well.

Claire is a very nice lady and extremely talented.

I would recommend Claire in an instant and look forward to working with her again soon.
