I was lucky enough to shoot with Gem again at the Boardroom and we did some really cool images with coloured lights. Gem bought loads of outfits and was really enthusiastic about the concepts. I'd recommend Gem in a heartbeat. Hopefully we can work together again (and hopefully without a long break between the shoots again) Thank you for being excellent.

My third shoot with Gem and it was as brilliant as the first two. Gem brought her usually enthusiasm and creativity together with a large suitcase crammed with numerous outfits. It was a half day shoot but the time flew by as we worked through a mood board with a very small number of the clothes bursting from the suitcase.

Excellent pre-shoot comms as always.

A delight to work with and very highly recommended by me.

Thanks Gem, until next time :)

Pre-comms with Gem were excellent, she arrived with outfits that suited each set up in the elegant Georgian townhouse where we were shooting. She knew when a pose in a painting had to be re-interpreted for a photograph, explained why and then created a imaginative range of alternatives. She’s easy going, fun to work with and we achieved everything I hoped for in the session.

Recommended very highly, thank you Gem, I hope we work together again.

I had a great shoot with Gem at her studio day at Aura Studios.

Gem was a joy to work with. She is lovely, beautiful, patient, creative and good to talk to. We worked in a very collaborative way. Gem quickly understood the types of photos that I wanted to take and made great suggestions on how best to achieve this. Her poses were excellent, and I was very pleased with the results.

I would be very happy to work with Gem again and I thoroughly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of working with Gen while assisting Jon Gray on a workshop at Hammer Wood House.

It was great working with Gem, who is an experienced and professional model. Her personality and manner while working with a group and her interaction with the individual photographers guaranteed they got great shots.

Even though it was particularly cold Gem posed beautifully and didn't complain

Gem is a creative and stylish model and made my life a lot easier while setting up for sets.

I would 100% recommend you book Gem

Gemma is quite amazing.

I've worked with Gemma a few time over the last few years. The latest was at an RPS art figure event at Hammerwood House run by Jon Gray.

Gemma is a total professional top notch model capable of any style.

Gemma works well with photographers and using her experience is able to guide newbies and professionals alike.

Very definite recommendation from me.

Late last Saturday afternoon, I had the absolute pleasure of a 1 hour shoot with the amazing Gem at JB's studio in Essex.

Gem is a sheer delight to work with, she's fun, chatty and professional. A very talented hardworking model whom is very capable of graceful poses and delivers first class images!

If you haven't yet worked with Gem, then you need to as you are missing out big time.

What can i say about Gem that has not been said before, I have worked with Gem on several occasions previously i have the fortune to shoot with Gem at the cottage studio (Henfield Sussex).

I wanted something simple, traditional, and sensual. well Gem delivered in spades, once again Gem had a suite case full of wonderful attire. in the two hour slot we managed three sets.

Gem is so relaxed, she is so creative and her poses flow with apparent ease yet i know she was working so very hard for me.

I cannot say enough regarding Gem and her modeling, just superb.

I highly recommend Gem.

For me it is Gem’s positivity and creativity that made my day. Getting superb images is never going to be a problem the camera loves her and her desire to give you what you are after makes everything so easy.

An interesting and curious lady who is wonderful company. It is impossible to not get caught up in her enthusiasm.

As I looked at the images on the computer I saw so many other ways I would like to capture her, but first I shall let her lead me through a shoot on creative make up.

Thank you for a superb day.

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Gem recently at Trident studios. She is a joy to work with, friendly, chatty and delivers the goods… posing effortlessly, with grace and poise.

A talented, professional, hardworking model who you are guaranteed to get lots of great images with.

Highly recommended by me, if you haven’t worked with Gem yet, you are missing out!

Thanks again Gemma 😊

I have been fortunate to work with Gem a couple of times, first on a group shoot and later on a remote shoot. There was no chance I would miss a first in person, 1-2-1 shoot. Gem was planning to visit RawPics studio and a half day shoot was quickly arranged.

We had a lot of fun working on some classic ideas as well as trying some new themes. Gem had made a number of online purchases to update her shoot wardrobe and this was a great opportunity to experiment with colours and styles I don’t often get the chance to shoot. Gem was patient as we set lights and worked to get the best settings, before producing the most exquisite poses that make shooting with her such a rewarding experience. Her test shot poses are also impressive! Four hours flew by as we laughed our way through so many different sets.

Thanks for catching the morning train to the South West. Hopefully we can work together again soon.

After I recently had the pleasure to work with Gem at Aura Photographic in Northampton, we got real lucky last Friday with our mutual free time and one of my Photographers from Montreal, Andrew Miller, being over for a visit. We created a bodypainting over the afternoon and went into location in the evening. Gem is a pleasure to work with, excellent communications before and during the event. I ll gladly work with her again and can only endorse her as a very professional model in every aspect.

Highly recommended.

Gem was the super model for the UV paint event at AURAphotographic.

Patience while being fully body painted by the amazing WolfsBodyMagic, lighting and styling by Emily (studio owner).

I had my first shoot working with Gem on a bodypaint workshop organised by Aura Photographic & featuring the artistry of Wolf Reicherter (Wolf's BodyMagic).

Gem was great to work with – professional, easy going and patient. Happy to take direction but also excellent just working through poses.

Definitely recommended!

I had wanted to work with Gem for ages and I reach out and organised my first project with her. She brought some amazing outfits based on the theme I wanted to create and we worked through several sets changes. Gem was great to work with throughout as she is friendly, professional with lots of great ideas. Looking forward to the next time we work together.

Today i meet Gem for the first time and i am so happy i did.

I am a amateur(ish) photographer and Gem is a an accomplished model and artist.

but she was kind and helped me with direction when i needed it with a nice flow.

A would very much recommend Gem if you are starting out and need to gain confidence with working with models. Very easy to talk too on and off camera... fun and enjoyable shoot :)

I worked with Gem not one, not twice, but three times in 4 days on a recent event in Wales. I is one lucky photographer :). We worked a range of images including shots in a local stream of very cold mountain water. Gem was superberb even when we walked back to the accomdation though an intense shower and I asked her to keep shooting once we warmed back up. Just mulling over ideas for our next shoot and one less exposed to the great British summer I think :). Whatever we do Gem will deliver with her usual panache!
