I worked with Dasha on a shoot this weekend which involved multiple models and photographers. Dasha was lovely to work with and had good ideas and examples of the makeup and style that she wanted which was very beneficial... Very professional and the photos looked great in the end. Would definitely llike to work with her again!

I had the opportunity to work with Dasha in March 2013 at a group shoot. We had very little time to work together but Dasha was professional and enthusiastic about the shots and I was very pleased with teh result. I hope to work with Dasha again in the future.

My 2nd shoot with Dasha was on a Group Shoot at the Windmill Cinema in Littlehampton. She came as my sponsored model for the day. I can only add to comments already made here in that Dasha is great to work with, has lots of good ideas for composition and knows how to present herself. She goes the extra mile to get the shot and constantly is seeking to improve.

She was happy to 'pitch in' and join the model pool shooting with other photographers on the day and it's a reflection of her professionalism and ability that she was so popular with everyone else shooting on the day.

Had a fun shoot with Dasha. She's got a strong look, a great range of poses and doesn't need any direction. Dasha was also really well organised and easy to arrange the shoot with. Looking forward to editing the pictures and would definitely recommend her.

Not much to be said other than, we will be working again soon, very soon.

Dasha was on my "to work with" radar but lived to far away and was put in the one day maybe file.

Now shes moved locally, she has a distinctive look that works well. Her Pre-shot coms were good, she was ready on time, friendly, easy to work with and braved the cold in an old draughty Castle to make sure we got just what we wanted.

I've been lucky to work with some amazing models and Dasha is added to that list...

I have worked with Dasha a few times now and she is an amazing versatile model who brings so much to any every shoot, she needs no direction, is punctual and gives 100% x

I was very lucky to work with Dasha at the 3/13 Studland Shoot organised by Gary Wallace. She came all the way from Gosport with a very early start...she is a great model who can pose with or without any direction-she is a perfectionist and quite tough on herself which I found drove us to get better images as we didn't settle for second best.

She's a lovely person too (with a killer Russian accent) and I am really delighted with the images we created. I would recommend working with Dasha if you're an experienced photographer or just starting out- I hope that we can shoot again soon.

Thanks again Dasha

I worked with Dasha and her Pomeranian last weekend. Although the weather was a little chilly and windy, we managed to fit in several sets, down by the water, on the beach and even in a borrowed beach hut.

Both models are gorgeous, photogenic and are highly recommended. I hope to have the opportunity to work with Dasha again soon

We had such an amazing shoot with Dasha on Sunday!

She is such a friendly and professional person to work with and both the photographer and I would highly recommend her to others.

Thanks for such a great shoot!

I had the very real pleasure of working with Dasha over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed both the shoot and her company.

Dasha's communication has been excellent throughout... timely, informative and concise. We discussed themes and outfits and she interpreted these whilst adding her own spin and style. Upon arrival, and making the most of possibly the last sunny day in London, we rushed into the parks of Bloomsbury to make use of the wonderful light with Dasha having styled herself for an Autumn theme. She posed with flair and creativity taking full note of her surroundings.

Our shoot centred around casual fashion, beauty and some lifestyle elements and Dasha moved easily between these, readily working under close direction and developing poses and expressions as required. Dsaha worked fluidly and with great energy and enthusiasm throughtout the afternoon and I was continually impressed with her attitude and professionalism.

Great look, great figure and great fun... she'll be welcome back anytime and I can warmly recommend Dasaha to all of you without hesitation.

Had a shoot with Dasha yesterday.

We did some stuff in the studio for around an hour and then braved the cold to do a nightshoot. Dasha turned up with a range of clothes to shoot in. She was organised and had a laid back adaptable approach. We got some great shots considering both the time constraints and the weather conditions and I'd be happy to shoot with her anytime in the future and would recommend her without reservation.

Another great shoot with Dasha. What more can I say about her - she is so easy to work with, looks stunning, poses well and takes direction too and really gives you emotions in her images.

I am sad to see that Dasha has now left Cheltenham and moved down South, but I will be paying her some visits so we can work together again. We created some amazing work together and she is one of those people you really should work with.

Dasha is a gem - she is so dedicated. At short notice she offered to take the place of a model who had cancelled even thought it meant her travelling for a total of four hours on a Sunday. As you can see from her portfolio she is a very beautiful lady but also lovely to work with and great at adapting to ideas and following direction. She is highly recommended.

Thank you Dasha !

I had an excelent studio shoot with Dasha. Dasha is a very pretty, inteligent and freindly model. She arrived with lots of excelent outfits with matching accessories and she does her make up to a very high standard. She poses naturally and comes up with lots of ideas and also takes direction well. I highly recomend Dasha to other photographers you will not be disappointed. I am looking forward to arranging future shoots with her

Had my second shoot with Dasha, this time in the studio, and it went extremely well. She is a great model with lots of potential. Arranging the shoot was easy and she is extremely professional. I would love to work with her again.

Dasha is a model with great potential. She is open to ideas, but she is also confident enough to make suggestions as well. She works brilliantly with everyone on the team, and speaking from the view of an MUA, she's a joy to work with. I would love to work with her again.

Dasha is a hard-working, flexible and reliable model. The shoot dates were finalised the day before as we kept an eye on the changing weather forecast. I travelled to Dasha’s location and she recommended some great locations for our environmental shoots. In addition to her self-posing abilities, Dasha is also very patient and takes direction well from a photographer experimenting with new techniques or refining a specific image. I was so impressed I arranged a second shoot. Highly recommended and would like to work with her again in the future.

I recently complete a location fashion shoot with Dasha. Great model, very professional and great to work with. Very highly recommended and I very much look forward to working with Dasha again.
