My second shoot with Erica in the space of about 6 weeks, this time on a dance workshop organised by Simon Carter. Erica's skill and knowledge plus the way that she delivered it added so much to the teaching along with the seemingly effortless way she held positions and repeated them whilst I worked on things like timing.

Friendly, positive, and focused on working with all of the photographers on the event so they achieved their goals.

Definitely someone I'd recommend, especially for a dance shoot

Simon Carter

There's a world of difference between photographing a model with some dance training - and a professional dancer who knows how to work with photographers.

Erica is very much the latter. She was the perfect partner for our day of dance photography workshops at Aura. Erica was able to help me demonstrate and explain the subtleties of ballet technique and then adapt those techniques in a way which made for the best possible images. At the same time she's perfectly down to earth, good fun to be around and well able to improvise. Recommended without hesitation!

I worked with Erica at a specialist dance shooting tuition group shoot organised by AURA Photographic and Simon Carter.

I have had the good fortune to work with several professional dancers over the years in my main job working in theatre, and Erica is on a par with the best. Erica has obviously put in the years of hard work and dedication to her craft, demonstrating not only the knowledge, self-awareness, confidence and control needed to pose and perform (in several different styles) at the drop of a hat, but also with the grace and flow of a true professional.

Her attitude throughout the afternoon was always pleasant and willing, despite being in the middle of a long weekend shooting with several people in different locations. She was happy to take on board some of the ideas I had, and through discussion and exploration come up with some stunning positions and poses without even breaking a sweat, and I hope my shots do her justice.

In short, shooting Erica (with the expert guidance of Simon Carter) was a total pleasure, and I would be very happy to recommend and work with Erica again in the future.

Had chance to shoot with Erica at a Dance workshop at Aura and it was fantastic. Pleasure to work with, hugely talented dancer and really collaborative when we shot together. Hope to work with her again in the future.

Highly recommened, highly skilled!

Erica is absolutely lovely, her grace in front of the camera is only rivalled by her attitude in the studio. An absolute pleasure to have in for the day. And after many hours of incredible hard work from Erica, 1000s of amazing images were captured by our members and attendees.

Really looking forward to working woth Erica again.

If you haven't booked with Erica, its time to make that change!

First time shoot with Erica and what an absolute delight. Erica's pre-shoot communication are stellar with fast, clear responses.

Erica came more than fully prepared with a great range of outfits, each one delivering stunning images.

Her grace, professionalism, manner, poise, attitude and personality are second to none and both our 121 and group shoot activity were gold mines of superb images.

Erica's dedication to and passion for her art shines through and I cannot recommend her too highly.

After working with Erica at the group shoot at PGD Studios organised by Creative Photography Events I honestly can’t wait to work with her again, Professional requiring no direction, however super happy to take direction and collaborate on ideas. Full range of outfits, polite, and all round a dream to work with.

Fully recommended and not to be missed if you have the chance to shoot no matter if Dance or Fashion!

Today I worked with Erica once again. Not only is she a great talent but her organisational skills are second to none. I was with a small friendly group of photographers at Silkwood studio, where Erica had organised a group shoot. The styling and set up all done by Erica and lighting by Karen studio owner. Erica had arranged a first class event which flowed with ease thanks to her timing and programming.I thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and Erica has become one of my models of choice in addition to being a good friend. I look forward to working with her again soon.

This was my second and longer shoot with Erica. We had planned a couple of ideas and I had a specific creative idea in mind. Erica was easy to communicate with and quickly understood the concept. The pre planning was excellent and Erica transformed the ideas into reality with enthusiasm and style. The shoot was nicely paced and we had ample time to exchange further ideas during the shoot. Erica’s easy going but focused personally meant creativity was maxed - what more can you ask for?. She is without doubt technically supreme and a lovely individual. I look forward to working with her again soon.

My second shoot with Erica, this time in a studio, and I hope not our last shoot together.

Erica is a delight to work with - fun, friendly, professional and with a very high level of dance/pose abilities.

Erica is responsive in pre-shoot comms, reliable and able to take direction and make her own artistic contributions in equal measure - and of course highly skilled as can be seen from her portfolio.

What's not to like?

Definitely recommended and hope to shoot with Erica again :). I can't wait to get to edits of our pics and frustrated by my current backlog of edits that must be done before 🙄.

Thanks for a very fun productive shoot Erica :)

First time working with Erica and hopefully not the last!

Erica was great, she arrived with a face free of makeup ready for me to start and sat perfectly for application. Beautiful bone structure and skin for me to work on, with easy conversation all the way through.

During the shoot Erica was amazing, as a dancer she knows how to hold herself beautifully and how to pose with no need for direction.

She was easy going and fun to work with, but very professional when it came to the images, which is the best combination for a successful shoot!

I would 100% recommend Erica and can't wait for our next shoot!

Another really great shoot with Erica, she had found a really cool new venue with Barres and lots of mirror. So we created some cool and different images together.

I have worked with Erica now for quite a number of shoots and we always create some really good strong images, so she is highly recommended by my.

Erica came to my studio to do a 4 hour ballet dance workshop she is an excellent ballet dance model. Erica is fantastic to work with and fantastic with lines, jumps and other dance poses we even got to work with the powder even though we were getting short of time near to the end of the shoot.

Erica is a beautiful and talented dancer and model. Erica has great patience and is very professional. She understands the photographers requests and is able to complete them to the highest standard. Thank you for a great afternoons shooting.

I had the pleasure, to work with the lovely Erica, at a workshop at studio 37. Erica is a lovely person, very creative and very talented. Because it was a group shoot, time was a factor, but still managed to get some great images.

I will be looking forward to working with Erica again soon. 100% recommend

Erica is a true professional and a delight to work with. She is able to quickly adapt to your shooting style and creative needs. When a photographer struggles for ideas she is able to produce a range of poses to help and assist. I recently worked with Erica and she was able to convert my creative vision and ideas into reality. Erica is calm, understanding and attentive throughout the shoot, she remains focused and her energy produces quality for the most demanding photographer. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again soon.

What a fabulous time I had with Erica today, she was on time, well prepared, arrived with a suitcase full of dresses that we had discussed in our pre shoot comms and perfectly made up.

During the shoot she was accommodating, patient, polite and fun to spend time with, in fact I cant praise her enough, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with on our 4 hour shoot.

I would recommend Erica without a doubt, and would gladly work with her again in the future.

An absolute pleasure.

I was absolutely thrilled when Erica said yes to modelling on one of my Create events!

Everything was seamless and easy from the very first message, her pre coms were absolutely spot on and she even shared the promo for the event which just showed how highly keen and professional she is. Erica modelled for two whole days for me and worked with each photographer individually to make sure they all walked away with exactly the shots they had in mind. A true professional in very sense, elegantly poised and very versatile… well worth booking for fashion as well as her well known ballet look. She ticks every box and the shots from each photographer have been flawless. Her makeup and hair was to such a high standard that I didn’t even need to add anything!

If you have not yet worked with Erica then please do yourself a favour and add this incredible model to your portfolio, she can only elevate it wether you are a beginner or a pro photographer, I highly recommend!

I’ve already got three separate concepts planned out for future events for Erica! I think that in itself says a lot!

Get booking you’ll be stunned!
