I was lucky enough to book onto Artemis Fauna's last "Secret Garden" shoot for the year and the first time I'd worked with Gem but I hope it won't be the last. Gem was superb - her shapes blending with and complementing the scenes. We tried to take in as many sets as possible within these gardens where there is a beautiful view whichever way you turn but, of course, perfectly enhanced by such an excellent model. Her pairing with Artemis for the many duo sets we shot was wonderful.

Obviously highly recommended by me.

Although I had bumped into Gem at a few events over the years we had never worked together- until last night!

I asked Gem to join me on the last "Secret Garden" event of 2018 and lucky for me she said yes!

The traffic was against us, the clock was ticking, the bugs were out in force and so many things went wrong- but as soon as the event began- it was all perfect!

Gem worked so well with the garden, her poses looked fab and her banter was on point. I really enjoyed working with Gem- BUT the time flew by way too fast!!

I'm looking forward to our duo event in November at my place.

Thank you so much! :)

I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday than having a 4 hour shoot with the lovely Gem! This was a group shoot and we split up into 2 small groups and alternated the hours. We managed a mixture of set ups and poses and Gem came prepared with good choice of outfits. She takes direction well and has a lot of variation of poses for less experienced photographers.

She loves the natural light of the studio (Natural Light Spaces) and we all good some very good portraits as well as full length art nude. The light was lovely and soft on an overcast day and her gentle looks and red hair suited this.

Very highly recommended!

Gem is just that. Extraordinarily refreshing in personality, looks and attitude; with a wardrobe of quality that exceeds expectation. Our first shoot. Half a day at TNLS. I was answering Gem’s casting of 2 days ago having expected to be beaten in the rush, but I was fortunate. Magically varied, enjoyable and rewarding. You simply cannot fault a shoot with Gem. These comments are like Gem heartfelt and not bound in her mastery alone, she is genuinely brilliant. I grew up in a family adorned with the joys of hair of red. Cupboard doors, Sunday trains and an unusual day with rain added dimensions away from the sets. I did the usual ritual dance around the lights wanting a mix of infinity and natural. I believe we found looks that show that TNLS is not just a studio but a place of inspiration. Gem is patient, politely assured and as you work together the synergies prove rewarding. Plans are required for our next shoot. To get out and find fashion in farms, fields and the inner city just seem appropriate. Or perhaps a rematch at TNLS.

Got to work with Gem for the first time at a workshop at pozers studio.first I got mention Gems looks this is by far natural beauty at its finest absolutely breathtaking. Gem was very friendly very professional and so laidback I just enjoyed the day so much her posing was just beautiful one after another. She worked so hard for everyone to get the shots they wanted.

I can not recommend this stunning young lady enough

Gem was a complete joy to work with.

She looked wonderful at Pozers studio on a Pre-Raphaelite theme day.

She has a fantastic look and the images we all got as a group looked amazing.

I would definitely work with her again.

Highly recommended.

OMG !!! Where do I start ??? (Red alert... dissertation reference coming up :):):):) ) this is Gem’s second studio event weekend, at PoZers, in 4 months, and as was the last event, this one was a mind blowing sell out !!!! Gem arrived the night before the event, ensuring she was well rested, and at her best on the start of the Fridays event, which was a normal studio day, but I was offering free photography tuition too. Gem brought absolutely tons of clothes, her suitcase was like Narnia, and the contents was just stunning !!!!! I was literally drooling over her vintage dresses, her stunning sheer dresses, her pre-raphaelite styled dresses and robes, and she had this nude/ baby pink outfit, all separates, stunning pink vintage corset, beautiful pink layered sheer dress, and a stunning skirt that matches, but all looked phenomenal together, and what a photograph it took ? Wow !!! Our first photographer of the day, was very new to the industry, and Gem was ever her helpful self, explaining what poses a d lighting worked best for herself, and assisting with direction etc. She was very patient and always kind. The second photographer, booked the rest of the day, and arrived with tons of ideas, props, materials etc, and we had a fabulous time, capturing some amazing images, and Mike had travelled 147 miles to the studio, taking nearly 4 hours, and his journey home was a gruelling 5 hours plus,because of bad traffic. Driving 9 hours, and then shooting for half a day, that’s called dedication and commitment, all that to shoot this amazing young lady, that’s how amazing she is.

On the Saturday we had a mix up of locations and studio shooting, going to the stunning Coate water park in the morning, and back to the studio in the afternoon. Gem through everything into both shoots, she’s phenomenal on location, and mind blowing in the studio, and it was so much fun, everyone was so happy with their images. Gem helped the photographers get the best of her, and knew what the natural light, would do to her features, and really helped the photographers loads whilst on location. In the afternoon, back at the studio, we created loads of sets, ploughing through Gems amazing “Narnia on wheels” (her suitcase) and that takes some shooting. In the evening Gem helped me get the studio ready for out 3rd event, and my favourite, our “Pre-Raphaelite” inspired workshop, the thing I’ve been the most excited about for months, since we started planning it, during Gem’s last stay with me, 4 months ago. We had lots of preparation to do, I had to steam all the backdrops I’d purchased, to make this event spectacular, which took ages, meanwhile Gem was preparing the clothing, accessories and props, and she helped with the cleaning and tidying, in preparation with the workshop. It didn’t stop there, then Gem helped me with the food shop, and did other bits and bobs whilst I created the buffet fir our clients on the Sunday.

Finally Sunday arrived, our “Pre-Raphaelite” workshop was here, and we were both so excited, as it was a great success and sold out, which meant we had a lovely small group of photographers, all very passionate about this period in fine art, and all excited about the day ahead. Gem worked her socks off all day, the new backdrops photographed beautifully and she styled all her clothing, accessories etc. To suit each and every pre-raph piece of art. The day flowed like a dream, Gem worked so hard, and I was so proud of how amazing she looked back of camera, and the only bad thing that happened all day, was me not shooting !!!! I love my job, I love teaching on the workshops, I love seeing all the back of camera images, but I have to say, I was truly gutted that the images weren’t mine !! Lol :):):) Gem looked phenomenal, and the images released so far, have been kind blowing. Thanks to Gem, I had the best day ever, it’s been my favourite workshop this summer, if not this year, and the entire 3 day event, was a total sell out. If you want a beautiful, hard working, consciences, model, with the most phenomenal wardrobe, who’s great fun to be around, have a total laugh with, create timeless, beautiful, mind blowing images, don’t look any further, you have found your girl. Oh and I nearly forgot, Gems a makeup artist too, and her makeup was “en-pointe” all weekend, and I know these things, because I’m a Mua too. Gem really is the “WHOLE PACKAGE” !!! I mean literally. She’s beautiful, funny, hard working, caring and one of my favourite models ever, ever, ever, and if she lived closer, I’d absolutely die to have her as PoZers in-house model, because I can’t get enough of this young lady, she’s amazing, and she’s 1000000000000% worth her weight in diamonds. We are already planning our next lot of workshops at PoZers, we are going to do a body paint together, and next year, PoZers is going into event planning, in castles and manor houses, all across the country, and I want Gem to come to them all, as my main model, and also makeup artist during the events. You will be reading lots more references, like this from me, with equally amazing things to say about Gem, as we have lots of plans to work together, as much as possible for the foreseeable future, I just can’t get enough of Gem, I’d kidnap her and keep her at PoZers, but I reckon her family might have something to say about that !!! Lol :):):):) Love you Gem, thank you fir a truly memorable and amazing weekend and I can’t wait for all our ideas, to become a reality, for years to come. Don’t hesitate booking this young lady !!!! What are you waiting for ? DO IT NOW !!! :):):):)

I have had the best day at PoZers studio with Gem on a pre Raphaelite themed shoot. The images I have come home with are stunning. Gem is exquisitely beautiful and so perfect for the genre. Thank you, Gem - I hope I get to shoot with you again.

I had my first shoot with Gem at a PoZers studio event. Gem was completely professional and a joy to work with. Despite this being my first one-to-one shoot at some of the genres chosen she made me feel perfectly at ease right from the start.

I brought some images with me that I wanted to base the shoot around and Gem immediately understood what was wanted. She impeccably matched the outfits she had brought with her to the poses. Gem is very skilled at modelling and posed to perfection.

Thank you Gem for a fabulous shoot and I can thoroughly recommend working with Gem.

Did my second shoot with Gem. She happily dealt with changing locations from studio, to garden, to posing in a shallow pool. She interpreted my themes excellently, often performing a pose before I could suggest it. She made several suggestions as we worked which enhanced the shots we got. All in all a great shoot. I look forward to Gem visiting Bournemouth again. Highly recommended.

Great working with Gemma again and also at the Hacienda during the Trio of Red event there in the morning session. Gemma was wearing multiple hats as she was also doing the models make up for the event, but as ever, she excelled at both the makeup and the role of being a model. Very easy to work with Gemma to create great images during the event.

Always a pleasure to work with Gemma and look forward to the next time.

Peter Gruener

This reference is for stunning three days with Gemma from May 18th to May 20th. Gemma is a true gem and we went from classical art nude on location to lingerie in the studio/on location and industrial nude. Getting up early or staying up long - not a single miss in poses and motivation. I highly would recommend Gemma if you need a great looking, great posing and truly inspiring model you can't be wrong. I hope to have you back in Germany next year.

I can only echo what many have said before me and repeat that this lady really is a Gem to work with.

I booked a couple of hours with Gamma during her studio day at Pavilion studio in Scotland. The 2 hours flew buy and Gem proved not only to be professional but also flexible and friendly to work with. I would not hesitate to work with her again.

Impromptu shoot with Gemma, wasn't sure what to expect as I wasn't expecting to shoot but a time slot at a model day at Pavilion Photographic Studio opened up last minute.

Gemma is really easy to work with, we shot a range of styles and all the poses / expressions were great. Will look out for her again when she returns to Scotland. Highly recommended.

I have a great duo shoot with Gem and Elle Beth yesterday at the Natural Light Spaces.

It was obvious that both girls were great friends and worked really well together as a duo. Between them they produced some wonderful ideas and suggestions.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable two hours and would definitely recommend them to anyone who wishes to shoot a duo.

doc Martin

Great model & easy to get on with. :-) Had a great duo shoot with Gem & Elle Beth. :-) They both worked hard to produce the images I was aiming for. I hope to post some images which do them justice very soon

What can I say about the beautiful red headed phenomenon, that is Gem ? Heaps !!! Gem contacted me about a studio weekend at PoZer's, and I felt so honoured that she asked me, how could I say no to such talent ? Gem has such a stunning look, photographing perfection, is surely as good as it get's guys ? Gem has excellent communication skills, leading up to the event and our conversations were clear, concise and fun, leading up to the studio weekend. Gem arrived on the Friday night before the start of our weekend together, being very conscious, that she was fresh and full of life on the Saturday morning. Gem was full of life from the off, she was kind and considerate to all the photographers, we had a wide array of experiences throughout the entire weekend, and Gem worked exceedingly well with inexperienced, to professionals, making them all welcome, feel at ease, care about their brief, ideas and inspirations, very conscious how she could magically add more to their images. Gem paid close attention to her posing, studied back of camera shots, and corrected anything she felt she could do better, she was perfecting, perfection and it was so beautiful to witness. Gem is one of the most caring models I have worked with, she shows total enthusiasm, at all times, with each and every person, and some of the slots were very energetic, and required a lot from her posing skills, and really over stretched her physique, but she never faltered, never complained and worked tirelessly to achieve the most stunning and strong poses.Gem also has the wonderful ability to emote, this really displayed how much of a phenomenal actress she is, not all models can emote and dramatise like this, and remain beautifully composed throughout, but Gem can, and then some. You have already seen this beautiful young ladies portfolio, it speaks volumes about her art and abilities, but to know the "true Gem", the true beauty, the truly funny young lady, that kept me entertained all weekend, then you need to hire this young lady yourself, as nothings as good as the real deal, so what are you waiting for.... BOOK HER NOW... you won't regret it, you'll love it every moment and more... thank you so much Gem, you brought a ray of sunshine to PoZer's over the weekend... and I can't wait to have you back.

What a fantastic shoot with Gem. I hadn't wanted to be doing the shoot for my next sculpture on that particular weekend but I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a local gig with such a talented model. I was looking for a natural, wild, spirited but timid look and she really understood. Experienced, intuitive, skilled and with a great personality to round it off, Gem worked really hard on this shoot and the results are excellent.

Gemma was completely professional, I had an hour booked with her at her Pozer studio session near Swindon and the time just flew by.

I got so many images it was almost impossible to narrow them down!

A great person to work with!

I had my first shoot with the amazing Gem this morning at Pozers Studio but I hope it won't be the last. Gem is very beautiful, extremely elegant, lovely, a brilliant model, creates wonderful shapes and is an absolute joy to work with. We discussed what images we wanted to create and although we only had an hour we were able to deliver great images in such a short time - Thank you so much Gem - I had a wonderful time. Very highly recommended to all photographers. Thanks again Gem and I hope we can work together again.
