Cy’s work is quite unique. His shooting technique is unlike anything I’ve done before – it was a fascinating process to be a part of. Cy is a friendly, easy-going and artistic guy, and his direction on poses was clear. I could say it was a bit like posing for life drawing: essentially, Cy took long-exposure photographs of me as I sat motionless in a dark room, holding each pose for 30-40 seconds as Cy ‘painted’ me with the light of a torch – and that’s only a part of the process! I would certainly recommend Cy to any model who has a chance to work with him, as it was altogether a creative and pleasurable experience.

Loved working with Cy and because of them I am now the proud owner of one of the coolest photos ever taken of me, I will be submitting it as a work of art they're so talented!

I had an interesting and enjoyable shoot today with CyDess, using his light painting technique, a method he has clearly undertaken as an art which he puts much creativity into.

From the outset, his communications were clear and I found CyDess courteous, respectful, friendly and sensitive, and wholly professional throughout.

CyDess gave very good and effective direction, while also allowing me space for my own ideas.

I recommend CyDess and would be happy to work with him again.

First shoot with Cyrille. Finally got around to collaborating together after a few false starts, outside our control.

Friendly relaxed guy who makes you feel at ease very quickly. Clear instructions for poses and a fun easy going shoot. Looking forward to seeing the outcome and interested in the results from mixing digital and print through the shoot.

Look forward to collaborating with in the near future.

A delight to work with and model for, and made me feel very comfortable during our time working together (perfect as I'd taken a bit of a modelling break due to confidence issues).

Would highly recommend and I'm looking forward to working together again soon. :)
