References for Danielle Beales

About seven months ago, I started to plan a composite image in that I wanted to produce. Danielle was the model who immediately came to mind for the look I was after and as I had worked with her a couple of times before, I knew she would be perfect.

Due to circumstances, we were unable to make a date until now. I certainly was right waiting for Danielle for this. Pre coms was very good and we went through the shoot list in detail before we started. Danielle came with a good variety of outfits, so we could decided as we went.

Later we went outside and took a few fashion/portrait shots.

As always a perfect shoot, thank you Danielle.

This was my first shoot with Danielle and it was great. She turned up well prepared with plenty of outfits, was happy to pose by herself or accept direction. She was happy to help with any of my experimental ideas, and also helped contributing her own ideas too.

Time flew by, she was very easy to spend time with and I found the whole experience very easy even though it was my first time shooting in a while. Thanks for all your hard work Danielle! I would definitely recommend working with her.

Yet another shoot with Danielle! This stunner never disappoints. Danielle came up with the idea for the location as well as the dress, so all I had to do was occasionally press the shutter.

I guess with it being our what, 6th shoot together? We kind of read each other now. Danielle points to a promising spot, I find the light, Danielle throws the moves, then we chat some more.

Okay. The shoot. We went to a priory on a glorious spring afternoon. Danielle looked amazing in a long red dress, with her immaculate hair, and she contrasted beautifully against the light stone walls. We are both serious about what we do, but both laid back enough to make a shoot a fun, relaxing experience. Danielle has a wonderful sense of humour and can chat about pretty much anything with consummate ease, and so it is always an absolute pleasure to be in her company, as a model, and as a person. Danielle turned up bang on time, had the changes of look we agreed upon and again, it was the perfect experience.

Absolutely recommended, every time.

Yet another highly successful shoot with Danielle!

I wanted a casual Autumn/Winter fashion look, so chose Blickling hall as it offered lovely architecture as well as formal gardens and natural woodland.

Danielle is a model I just keep going back to, as my style of photography is pretty laid back, go with the flow, and Danielle's warm and chatty personality absolutely suits me down to the ground. We can shoot, chat and explore the surroundings in a very relaxed manner, which makes each shoot not only productive, but fun too. The time always flies by!

We just loosely agreed a Autumn/Winter look, and I felt confident in letting Danielle interpret that in her own way, as she never disappoints! I tend not to give Danielle direction, as she has a natural flow of poses which just works every time, and no input of mine would improve on that!

So, as for recommending Danielle, of course it is an absolute yes, every time and without question!

It started as a simple enough idea. Drive to a small grass airfield near Bury st Edmunds, and do a two hour shoot with a contact's Piper Cherokee. It ended up being a 15 minute shoot on the executive private jet apron at Norwich airport, followed by a flight in a Piper Warrior 11 with Danielle at the controls!

The shoot element was fun. It always is with Danielle because she is interested in everything, but also very focused and attentive with regards to being in front of camera.

After our 15 minute window, we clambered into the Cherokee Warrior. Although I'm more accustomed with being in the left seat (Aircraft are left hand drive), I sat in the back and Steve the instructor sat in the right seat, allowing Danielle to sit in the captain's chair!

After a quick tutorial, Danielle was handed control. After a dramatic realisation (in the choppy skies) that the controls are very sensitive, and better handled with a lightness of touch, Danielle proceeded to fly us to Blakeny via Cromer, then back to Norwich absolutely flawlessly! Her cockpit awareness was actually quite remarkable too. When asked what altitude we was at, she replied "2400 feet" without hesitation, and without ever having being shown an altimeter!

Yeah, we forgot a major costume change (lol), but shoots (for me) are all about having fun, and Danielle was the perfect choice once again. In fact I wouldn't have done it with anyone else, because this Rodeo ride had Danielle's name written all over it!

Thanks for the shoot Danielle, and thanks for giving us such a wonderful sightseeing flight over Norfolk!

I'd originally planned a shoot with Danielle way back in the winter - the style was to be moody-skies on the beach. Unfortunately the weather was a bit too moody. We finally managed to fit in a shoot this week, and of course it was a hot sunny day, nowhere near a beach...

Danielle turned up with a couple of outfits we'd agreed on, and as others have mentioned, she can switch from chatting away to deploying a load of poses, before picking up right where she left off as I changed lenses.

All seemed to go to plan, and there was only a little bit of screaming when spiders occurred...

I'd certainly recommend Danielle :)

Danielle and I opted for a beach shoot today. Danielle took a chance on me when I first joined PurplePort, had no references and few images to show, and so I was super excited to team up with her again for what would be our third shoot together.

I really love working with Danielle. Clearly she looks amazing, she has a sharp, dry sense of humour which I absolutely love, poses without any need for direction and can chat for England between sets which makes a four hour shoot feel like an hour!

Danielle brought a few changes of outfit, and a big floppy hat which actually worked really well. I'm really pleased with the images we got. It was my first 'model' beach shoot, and I'm so glad I got to do that with Danielle!

For our next shoot, we'll be revisiting a previous theme! As for recommending Danielle as a model to other photographers, then yes...just YES!

I know Danielle personally,she was an amazing model in all ways, turned up on time ready to work, gave full input to our photoshoot and was 100% professional amd hard working at all times. All in all an complete pleasure to work with.

Yet another wonderful shoot with Danielle.This young lady is a pleasure to work with always on time always brings more then enough outfits for the styles we had discussed she is a joy to work with. 100% recommended.

MrMark

My first shoot with Danielle, very relaxed and confident in front of the camera,

a real pleasure to work with...

A brilliant shoot with Danielle last week with a wonderful set of beautiful images. Comms with Danielle were great and she was punctual and arrived ready to work. The three hours sped by as we worked through a series of ideas and at time went off on completely different images.

Danielle is a pleasure to work with and comes highly recommended.

I worked with Danielle in a rather warm studio yesterday, the temperature didn't phase her in the least. She is fantastic to work with and I would strongly recommend her. Only minimal direction was needed, she knew exactly when and where to move. She brought a wide selection of costumes, most of which we used. Good communication before the shoot, and we chatted about lots of different things during the shoot. I'm sure we'll work together again in the future.

Martin Stocks

Danielle stepped in at the last moment for a duo shoot and was an absolute star. She poses effortlessly, either on direction or by herself and is a joy to work with.

I would unhesitatingly recommend working with this young woman!

It certainly was chilly on this shoot but this didn’t deter Danielle as she worked professionally and without guidance throughout. We discussed the shots and away we went. Pre coms were excellent. Danielle bought several outfits and we used a couple of locations that required a short car ride.

NorfolkMike4 said in his reference that Danielle can stop the conversation like like a switch and start shooting and then resume talking later. I hadn’t noticed that the first time we worked together but he is right, she does. What a professional!

In references many people say that they can’t wait to work with this person again but many never do. I didn’t put that in my previous reference but I always hoped we would and we did. And yes, I do hope we will work again and I feel we will.

Contact her now and you won’t be disappointed.

I love working with Danielle, just love it!

This was my second PP shoot. I'd worked with Danielle on the first shoot, and really wanted to work with her again on something a little different. I asked her if she was up for shooting at an aviation museum North of the city, as it was likely to be fairly quiet what with the reduced access due to the covid regulations.

Initially it was just going to be a fashion type shoot using the various retro aircraft as a backdrop, but it ended up developing into a 'two look' shoot comprising a casual cabin crew style, and a copilot lol!

Despite it being chilly, very breezy and the clouds creating havoc with the sun, Danielle took to the roles with enthusiasm. I mentioned it before, but I will say it again, I love the way Danielle can break off the conversation on cue to shoot, and instantaneously go back into model mode! When the shooting stops, the chat resumes and flows without pause.

Danielle was getting a lot of sympathy (and attention) from the museum volunteers. I mean, after three hours on an open airfield in a stiff breeze and below average temperatures, it was bloody freezing! They probably thought I was the beast from hell putting her through that lol. So I'm REALLY hoping the photographs I send her will make amends lol!

We will continue the theme in the near future, as there is so much more to explore with it. A kinda "Come fly with me" Part 2.

I don't feel as though I need to add "highly recommended" because you probably get that by now, but for the purpose of clarity, would I recommend this witty, chatty, engaging beauty to others? Yeah, she is alright I suppose lol (Yes I would!!).

Danielle is an absolute beauty in every way, very professional in communication before the shoot and on the day it was a pleasure to work with her. Looking forward to the next time, I would highly recommend her !

RichZep

My first shoot with Danielle and what a super lady. Pre shoot comms were excellent with a mixture of email, text and phone calls. I had explained the shots and ‘look’ I was after, which Danielle did with ease and enthusiasm. Danielle had bought several outfits for the next part of the session which went extremely well. Time went quickly to the point we were unable to shoot the remaining outfit due to running out of time.

Highly recommended so don’t hesitate to book this great model.

I contacted Danielle for a studio light test, as I hadn't worked in a photography studio in nearly 20 years. Communication was great. Danielle arrived on time, well prepared and with a whole range of different outfits.

Danielle was extremely easy to work with, with a great "let's do it" attitude.

I also feel that I need to give a special mention to her hair. Danielle's hair deserves a reference on its own. Her hair is gorgeous, shiny and in absolutely impeccable condition, it looks like beauty hair shots straight out of the camera, no retouch whatsoever needed!

I absolutely recommend Danielle, and I am already looking forward to my second shoot with Danielle, and with her hair. :)

My third shoot with Danielle and this a two fold shoot first at an abandoned building and then onto her friend Charlotte's for a duo. Danielles organisational skills are top notch to compliment the already efficient communication skills with the additional ad hoc change of plan on the move between shoots due to the traffic to round it all off. Everything came together perfectly which lead to another great shoot. Covering fashion and portraiture then onto duo with the same. Her bubbly thoughtful character always shines through both in person and in comms.

It goes without saying that I recommend Danielle 100% to which she makes a beautiful addition to anyones portfolio.
