Finally got round to shooting with beautiful Ellie yesterday after what seemed an age aligning our diaries

Absolutely well worth the wait …Ellie is an absolute gem…..very beautiful,friendly and a superb model.

She arrived on time at the station and we took the short journey to mine,chatting all the way….really did hit it off from the word go

We had booked an all day shoot and it went wonderfully well….not rushed,very laid back but at the same time…super productive

We worked our way through numerous different sets….no idea where the 8 hours went but suffice to say it was thoroughly enjoyable

A super last set outside in the summerhouse capped it all off….some lovely boudoir sets done inside prior to that

Easy work for me as Ellie flows from pose to pose with ease…..a real dream to work with

Loved every minute of it…..a fabulous young lady who deserves the highest praise and of course is highly recommended by me.

Thanks for a fabulous shoot Ellie and I look forward to working with you again.

Zavod Studio UK

Have shot with Ellie on many occasions, I lost count now!

Ellie was especially brilliant on the last shoot we did together as I wanted to try something new. It meant that I needed a lot of input from her, from planning the outfits and accessories, to making reels and painting her nails on the day. Ell was up for anything and oh my god she delivered!

We even got 3 FPI's from that shoot alone and I'm well chuffed with the results. We also got published in the magazine - I am one happy photographer girl :)

Thank you Ellie - she gets my highest recommendation.

I had a shoot this weekend with Ell at Saracen House.

Unfortunately the shoot was disrupted by external things that neither she nor I nor the studio could do anything about, so we lost more than half of the planned shoot. Can I still tick the "would recommend" ? Well, yes.

I found her likable, professional and what we were able to shoot was good, so we're going to try again later in the year and hope things smile on us a bit more. I think the fact I can recommend her when things didn't go to plan is worth multiple "our shoot ran like clockwork" recommendations.

This was my first shoot with Ell, which took place at the wonderful Saracen House Studio near Milton Keynes.

I have wanted to shoot with Ell for quite some time and she was well worth the wait. Not only is she extraordinarily photogenic but she is a delight to work with. She is very down to earth and makes you feel like an old friend rather than someone you've just met. She also had lots of great suggestions and I was really happy with the results we got from our two hour shoot. In fact I was so impressed with her that I booked another four hour shoot for later in the year.

Very highly recommended.

Ell Mae is an incredibly talented model, with a unique ability to bring a certain sensuality and elegance to every shot she's in. After only our first shoot together, and looking at the results, I can confidently say that she is one of the best models I've had the pleasure of working with.

In terms of portraiture, Ell Mae has a natural ability to convey emotion and depth through her expressions. She has an effortless beauty that translates perfectly onto camera, and she's always willing to experiment with new poses and angles to create truly striking images.

When it comes to editorial shoots, Ell Mae really shines. She has a strong sense of style and an innate understanding of how to create a cohesive visual narrative. In particular, I've found that she's particularly adept at working with gels, creating images that are simultaneously edgy and elegant.

Ell Mae is also comfortable working in sensual topless and lingerie styles, and she brings a level of confidence and grace to these shoots that is truly impressive. She has an understanding of how to create an atmosphere of intimacy without ever sacrificing the professionalism of the shoot.

Overall, I would highly recommend Ell Mae to any photographer looking for a model who can bring a certain elegance and sensuality to their shoots. She is a true pleasure to work with, and I look forward to collaborating with her again in the future.

All I can say is what a lovely, genuine, down to earth superstar Ell is to work with…just came back from a quick two hour shoot with her…she was super patient with me whilst my foggy jet lagged mind tried to form sentences and focus on the shots inspired by my moodboard and Ell just was super cool helping me connect the dots when I just wasn’t quite getting it.

She’s one of those special models who really knows her art, including a superb understanding of lighting and doesn’t just turn up, she really collaborates and chips in, and then she just poses like an absolute queen. I had always been hesitant to approach Ell because her work is so good, so found it easier on a studio day, but how stupid was I…can’t recommend Ell enough and look forward to working with her again soon :)

Finally had the chance to work with Ellie Mae at the Sirens event organised by Photography Session Days. It was a really enjoyable session - Ellie Mae was happy to go along with our suggestions but had a lot more (and better) ideas of her own. She certainly understands how to create stunning images - and moreover was great fun - looking forward to working with her again.

Great to finally have had the opportunity to work with Ell Mae, be it remotely at PGD Studios. The two hours flew by with us being able to do several looks within the time frame. This remote has to have been one of the easiest remote shoots I've had in nearly three years of doing them. She needed very little direction, didn't take herself too seriously, thought I was probably mad when I mentioned she could leave her Crocs on for a few images, and gave me so many options to look through to take to final edits.

Look forward to hopefully working with her again in the future, be it remotely or in person.

Had a great remote shoot with Eli at PGD Studios. Great to work with.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ell at PGD Studios. She's a pleasure to work with. Professional, timely, and can free pose fluidly. I look forward to working with her again when she visits the studio. Highly recommend booking.

Worked with Ell for the first time and it will not be the last, A new to me studio I have been before so not knowing what to expect, lucky for me Ell had been to the studio before and was well prepared,

We collaborated on ideas and got on with the job in hand, Ell fired off poses like a machine gun and the camera never missed a beat I've never took so many Images most are keepers We both like black & white images so most are b/w's I took, I think we were both cautious of each other after the first set we started to get into the swing of it to get some really good images.

Ell put in 100% and I would recommend from beginners up to pro's

Looking forward to next time I'll start looking for studio near to you.

Thanks for a great couple of hours.

My 3rd shoot with Ellie Mae was a Zavod in Sheffield. Pre-comms were fine. Ellie turned up as I arrived at the door to go into the studio building.

This was my first 4 hour, 1:1 shoot & the time just flew by!

Ellie is funny, chatty and great to photograph.

Highly recommended.

In a word, brilliant! Ellie looked through my selection of mood boards, selected one she liked, sourced the outfits, did the styling and interpreted my rudimentary direction ("look cool") exactly so in a perfect feat of mind reading and I ended up going home after an all too quick full day of shooting with images I am super excited about and feel are amongst my best ever and certainly adhere to an artistic direction I have long sought...

And if that isn't enough for you to hire Ellie, let me try some more...

Why does she look cool? Because she is cool! A natural performer in front of the camera, sure, but more than that, working with Ellie feels like working with a team-mate, a co-conspirator, a partner in crime, someone who exudes familiarity and a comfortable presence that you think you've known her for ever even when you've just met, and I'd bet hanging out with her is an absolute riot.

She'll bring all of these qualities to your shoot and you'll end a super productive day still a little sad that it's all over. Good job repeat bookings are a thing, eh?

Book Ellie for a shoot, do it and do it now... one of the best models around, end of!

My first shoot with Ellie and what a delight. Graceful, professional, down to earth, works wonderfully with or without direction and a delightful person. Absolutely loved the shoot and look forward to working with her again very soon. Absolutely recommended

Summers Abroad

Where do we even begin?!

Ellie has done numerous events for us now, she is one of our go to models and is practically part of the furniture haha! The only time she doesn’t attend one of our events is when she is already booked!

We’d already styled Ellie in various different looks - she’s been a clown, we’ve draped snakes over her head, stuck bits of cardboard to her face, put her in an Elizabethan corset look - and every single theme she has smashed out the park. The most recent 2 events she has done for us she’s been dressed as a tribal warrior, a contract killer/bond girl and 1920’s flapper era! I honestly don’t think there is a look she can’t pull off - hands down the most versatile model we work with!!

On top of being an insaneeee model she is also so much fun to socialise with in the down time and so reliable too!

Highly recommended and we can’t wait to host her abroad this year too!

The Coach House Studio

Of course we'd recommend Ell Mae, she's simply awesome!

I shot with Eli at the Coach House Studio and she's an absolute natural in front of the camera. No direction was needed but was equally happy to take direction for a specific shot.

Great fun to make pictures with and can't wait for shoot #2 !

I had my first shoot with Ell at Inspire Studios. It was a freezing cold day but Ell battled on bravely with the help of Siaran's space heaters. In the two hours we got through several changes of outfit and I managed to get some fabulous images which I have recently been posting to good response.

I loved Ellie's down to earth manner and we compared notes on local Calder Valley restaurants etc. with which I was familiar. Ellie is a total professional and I enjoyed every minute. Unsurprisingly she is a very busy model but I hope I can find a slot in her diary next year to shoot again - preferably when the weather is warmer.

Definitely recommended.

Thansk for the shoot

I had my 2nd studio shoot with Ell today. Booked four hours as two just wasn't long enough with Ell. She is such an incredibly talented, super cool model. She is so warm and friendly and so easy to collaborate with. The looks and poses she can deliver are beyond awesome. I can't wait to work with Ell again.
