Third shoot with Florence.

Florence is a complete joy and pleasure to work with.

Very expressive with her face and hands a real giggle to be around.

Listens and takes directions well when adding more to your ideas, a really smart lady, with a great wardrobe of clothes.

Our 4-hour shoot went so quickly and as usual, I have so many images I love 🙂

Thanks so much Florence

Take care

After liking the portraiture work Florence had done, I figured it was only fitting to organise a fashion shoot with her, especially as she was relatively local and so easy to schedule.

Communications before the shoot were excellent, we went over ideas and outfit ensembles that we could shoot. On the day she arrived on time and kept me up to date with travel as it was a rather stormy day so trains were suffering from downed trees and the like.

Due to the weather we were pretty much restricted to an indoor shoot, but due to the variety that fashion offers, we were still able to cover a range of looks and styles.

Florence was a great laugh throughout the shoot, very easy to get along with, absolutely adores Back To The Future, and knows all the words to Time Warp, whether she admits it or not.

I fully recommend her, and hope to shoot with her again when the weather is sunnier so we can do some location work!

I had my first outdoor shoot the Florence today. She was very good with communication and is well organised. I took a mood-board of poses on a tablet and did not need it as Florence was brilliant at doing her own poses and need very little direction. It was a pleasure photographing her and I am looking forward to our next shoot :)

First shoot with Florence today and really enjoyed working with her. We shot around Arundel on a blustery & grey day but we managed to get some good shots. She's very easy to work with and pre comms were great. Highly recommended and would love to work with her in the future

Had a fabulous first shoot with Florence around Chichester shooting some of her wonderful vintage wardrobe. Communications before and during the shoot were great and Florence contributed many ideas to my own as well as being happy to take direction.

Florence works hard and we were able to get through all of the locations and looks that I was thinking in good time but without it feeling rushed at all. Highly recommended and hopefully we will be able to shoot again in the future.

I love shooting with Florence (this must have been our fourth or fifth shoot?) as she's just bursting with ideas and enthusiasm. Add to that her acting background and you've got all the ingredients for a great fun and productive shoot.

Definitely recommended - if you haven't booked her you're missing out!

This shoot was organised over a very short time period, and from my point of view was mostly about learning how to take some decent head and shoulders portraits. These were to have a slight vintage theme and take place in a very small home studio. I was lucky in that Florence threw herself into this comparatively unexciting project with enthusiasm and we were able to produce work that was very much what I had planned. Florence has an excellent wardrobe of vintage clothing that fitted my theme well and she wears it well. We spent some time organising costume before the shoot with Florence sending me numerous pictures of her wardrobe collection. Hopefully some of the shots that we created did indeed hint of the eras of Katherine Hepburn, Doris Day and Rita Hayworth. Luckily for me Florence is a good actor as well as a good model! She showed excellent organisation, was punctual to the minute and worked hard throughout our two hours together. I would be very happy to work with her again and give an unconditional recommendation

Throughly enjoyed a shoot where Florence initially helped me work on headshots - she showed great patience and had plenty of valuable advice. We then took time to shoot around the studio in some of her fantastic vintage outfits, including a new (old) dress that really suited a fashion style she embodies so well.

I'm very pleased with the images we created and found Florence to be great fun and really helpful on set. Her excellent communication when organising the shoot made for a smooth first shoot for me too.

Very happy to recommend Florence!

The second shoot with Florence was such fun and got loads of great images, very very happy. She is so talented and adaptable and has the greatest outfits. Really hope to do a shoot with Florence again, highly recommended. Thanks, Florence.

It was a pleasure to work with Florence, great fun, easy going, likes to pull faces & perform quirky little dances. Highly recommended.

I had a great shoot with Florence after some excellent communications, including the opportunity to view, via the interweb, her truly vast collection of vintage and vintage style outfits. It has to be seen to be believed.

With the help of a punctual train Florence arrived bang on time with the chosen selection of ouitfits.

Coupled with some of J9 studio’s outfits we had more than enough to keep us going for the day. Indeed I introduced Florence to the finer points (literally for those of you who know about these things) of vintage nylons. These enhanced several dresses to fantastic effect, with spot on and appropriate poses from her - all done with great charm and enthusiasm. Huge fun to work with.

With Florence’s prior agreement I had invited a couple of camera club members along for the afternoon and they were equally impressed.

So quite a long day, but Florence kept up the pace right to the end, when she then had a longish journey home – so I was pleased to get a text to say she had arrived safely.

BTW Florence’s outfits included some classy corsetry as well as some classic posh cardigans. Talk about contrasts! The corsets were irresistible, but I am looking forward to a second session when I can shoot the cardies.

Meanwhile, if you want Florence’s styles, outfits and posing you won’t go wrong booking her.

Another shoot with Florence, this time to shoot a "Back to the Future" set at The Granary Studio, complete with a genuine DeLorean.

Florence's acting experience always comes through in her attitude and posing, and true to form she delivered in spades. Knowing her enthusiasm for the theme I wasn't surprised and we came away with some wonderful images.

Thoroughly recommended - we've already got another two shoots at the planning stage.

The Granary

We hosted the amazing Florence for a Back to the Future themed studio day in August. Having worked so hard on the costume and already have creative ideas in her mind, our connection to the TV & Film industry allowed us to bring in a DeLorean to make the shoot extra special.

From day one Florence was great at communication. very flexible to dates and giving some creative steering when it came to the look for the shoot in terms of extra lighting and prop placement. Everyone that came along was blown away by the whole shoot and that was mostly down to Florences professionalism, personality and no doubt the resembelance to Lorraine Baines!

Now she's back in our area I'm looking forward to many more collaborative shoots in the year to come and can't wait to see what amaszing shots can be produced. 100% recommend shooting with Florence.

Florence was booked in for a studio day with a Delorean, and it broke down on the way.

Whilst waiting we had a little impromptu session, some Hollywood lighting and playing around with some other Noir type styling.

Florence is a delightful lady and a great model, especially when posing for a vintage look.

for a off the cuff shoot, we got some great vintage looking images.

Totally recommend

I had a very productive and enjoyable shoot with Florence a couple of years ago, so when I learned that she was back in my area for a little while I was keen to work with her again.

That second shoot was yesterday. It was another all-day shoot. I've just downloaded the pics so I've had a sneak preview of them on a proper screen, and I must say that I'm bl**dy chuffed with them. Much of that is down to Florence's individuality, her theatrical capabilities, her imaginative wardrobe and her eye for styling. She brings soooooooo much to a shoot.

As well as that she's a very lovely person to work with, she's full of energy (it was an all-day shoot during heatwave - when I started wilting, she could have kept on going for longer!) and she's totally reliable.

Thanks for another good 'un, Florence. You're a delight to work with.

This was my 1st shoot with Florence and was a pleasure to arrange. After sorting out the location she provided a great selection of outfits to choose from. All went to plan we had a fantastic location shoot round the Harbour in Bristol.

Florence is a lovely lady and always has a smile on her face, happy to give input and all in all this was a very relaxed and enjoyable shoot with some great images resulting.

I will look to shoot again with Florence and recommend her at all photographers from beginners to experienced.

Many thanks Florence.

I had wanted to work with Florence for some time and recently finally got the opportunity to do so.The shoot was on location in Tiverton.

Her communication was brilliant and having decided what style of shoot I wanted to do I received pictures of various options and was asked to pick my favourites.

On the day of the shoot we arranged a meeting place and I spent a very enjoyable 90 minutes walking round Tiverton taking her picture. She is an absolute pleasure to spend time with and to photograph. She is also very versatile and has so many different looks.

In front of the camera she is very professional and can pose without direction, she also has a good eye for a location. I hope to shoot with her again and have no hesitation in recommending her as a great model to work with.

Christopher Rees

Florence is approachable and friendly.

Pre-shoot she was clearly organised and made every effort to be well prepared for our photoshoot.

She was able to assimilate and contribute to the ideas I had in mind. Once general direction was given at the beginning, Florence needed little other direction. Her performance background meant she could pose in an unforced natural way with ease.

As a result we were able to work constructively and efficiently.

Florence has an extensive wardrobe of vintage clothes, some of which we were able to utilise on the day.

She maintained her composure and humour throughout, even though it was an outdoor shoot on a blazing hot day.

Given the chance I would certainly like to work with Florence again.

Definitely recommended.

Vintage Magic, Florence is so talented, great fun, and always has a smile on her face.

Very professional, on time, and the greatest set of outfits.

I really enjoyed our shoot and got loads of great material to work with.

Thanks very much, Florence.

As others have noted Florence is a joy to work with on a shoot. Her pre-comms were very organised and thorough. It was very helpful that she sent images of her available vintage outfits well ahead of the shoot so that I could choose the looks we would shoot.

Florence arrived on time, made up and in her first outfit, so within a few minutes of meeting we were underway shooting. Despite the bright sunshine Florence coped very well with the glaring light at times. Her acting training meant that she was alert yet relaxed,and she has a very good deportement. She is very easy to work with, takes direction well but also can pose readily without.

Florence also has a very charming personality, and her engaging nature is readily apparent in the images we shot. Absolutely recommended and I hope that I will get another chance to shoot with Florence in the future.
