I’ve worked with Gem on two occasions recently, both were part of a duo shoot with Elle Beth. I love Gem’s grace and style in her posing and posture. We shot stylish nudes and fashion lingerie and created some stunning images. Gem provided some creative input to the shoot that was refreshing and beneficial. She is very professional, motivated and also fun to work with, I like to enjoy my shoots and it’s good to have a team that gets on so well. She is also a qualified MUA and her skills here are also very good, as was shown by the makeup work on herself and on Elle Beth on the day. I look forward to arranging further shoots with Gem in the New Year. Highly recommended!

Gem's enthusiasm and good humour never wavered throughout the duration of a long shoot in which she never deviated from her determination to deliver an astonishing variety of beautiful poses.

Her slender, long-limbed figure is perfect for the graceful Pre-Raphaelite poses that she loves – and does – so well. It is perhaps appropriate that this beautiful, natural (and proud!) redhead is the double of Tryphena, the wife and muse of Pre-Raphaelite master, Arthur Hughes, and the model for his paintings April Love and Ophelia.

It was a pleasure to work with such a beautiful, intelligent and unique young woman.

I have wanted to work with Gem for a while now and after finally getting to work with her, a couple of days ago, wish i hadn't waited so long. An amazing model Stunning, professional, enthusiastic and fun to work with. i can't wait to work with her again in the very near future. Highly recommended.

My first shoot with the aptly named Gem. She makes an immediate impression with her striking looks, and hair plus those long elegant legs. Great pre-shoot communication and the quality continued into the shoot with her cheerful, hard working approach even when she was standing on gravel in somewhat chilly conditions outside. She produced a brilliant set of images for me and I could not resist keeping most of them as colour images. Thanks Gemma :-)

Gemma is an excellent model to work with. I organised Gemma as the Model for a workshop I was giving on Studio-Lighting with 5 other Amateur Photographers. This not only required Gemma to be a top-class Model and display effortless poses, but she also had to have the patience to deal with multiple styles of Photographers, offer guidance and support when necessary, and also come across as personable and approachable & simply a lovely person. She made the course enjoyable for everyone; each photographer went home with something different, and Gemma was completely open to whatever 'Prop' each Photographer brought along, or whatever type of image they wanted to try. Can't recommend her enough. Thanks Gemma !

Shooting with Gem is like a trip in a Raphaelic state of mood! My main problem was the choice: too much quality, too many interesting, touching images. Thanks, Gem

Of course, I highly recommend all of you to experience a collaboration with her

I've really admired Gem's look for some time so was very excited to be working with her today. She brought along a suitcase full of clothes - far more than we could get through in the time - and did her hair and make-up to a professional standard. Combine this with her beautiful figure and skin, and she barely needs any editing at all! We worked through a variety of ideas and Gem brought each of them to life thanks to her beautiful posing. Between sets she was a delight to talk to and didn't mind me nattering on... Gem certainly lives up to her name and I hope to work with her again soon. Highly recommended.

It was my first shooting with Gem, and to directly come to the point certainly not the last one!

She is a great shooting partner, I would say in the most positive way an 'auto-poser' and she has the feeling what to do with a given location!

She does not fear to get into 'biological active' waters, muddy and cold, and this superb performance continued the next day in our studio and location shoot!

She's clearly someone that I can truly recommend and besides the working part she's a nice guest!

Our discussions in the evening where inspiring and Gem was great company!

CU you again Gem!

Cheers Michael

Gem was an absolute pleasure to work with, spending all day with us at an abandoned care home in Staffordshire, a location share organised by Studio Antics World. She has gorgeous pale skin, pre-Raphaelite style natural red curls, stunning blue eyes and a friendly, professional manner. Gem is also a make up artist in her own right, so that talent is a real asset on a shoot. We had briefly discussed a range of ideas, outfits and accessories before the day, all of which really suited Gem and fitted her so well. Gem's experience as a model was evident, and she naturally assumed poses, gestures and attitudes which complimented her own look and that day's styling. She moves well, and was very patient with us as we worked repeatedly to get a particular shot. Whether wearing costume, fashion or working at art nude level, Gem offers variety and inspiration to a photographer. Her gentle, ethereal beauty translates well to the camera, creating engaging, close-up portraiture and stunning figurative work. Gem is a delight to be around - it was a very good experience shooting with this lovely, amiable young model, and one I'd be happy to repeat :)

Our special Gem with the graciousness of a goddess as always. An absolute natural with the disposition of an angel. Absolutely rocks every single shoot she does with all genres. I love having her at events, every single photographer sings her praises. A real English rose who performs and delights with every pose. Gotta love you Gem, see you soon, you don't need a ref from me but, I just gotta be on your guest list. See you soon, much love, Jan :D

I applied for a very last minute cancellation with Gem & Elle last week. Gem was funny, professional and totally awesome to work with. I'll certainly have no hesitation in work with her again.

My first shoot with Gem, it was a duo shoot with Elle Beth in Nottingham and it was very successful. Gem is a very graceful model with beautiful hair and skin and we were able to get some amazing shots in natural light. Gem is wonderful to work with, friendly, funny and patient and can come up with some good suggestions for shooting concepts and stories. I loved her delicate posing which suited the style and location we were shooting. I’d certainly like to work with Gem again, highly recommended. Thank you!

I worked again with Gem yesterday on her duo weekend with Elle Beth.

I found them together be a good posing partnership and they made for a very enjoyable time.

Gem is a very easy going model to work with, she took dust, uneven floors, uncomfortable positions and poses in her stride. She responded very well to being directed and also posed herself readily, with a willingness to try new things.

Her striking looks make for interesting images, and she again had a lovely selection of clothing.

I am happy to recommend Gem to all photographers and would look forward to working with her again.

I had my eagerly awaited second shoot with the delectable Gem and it was, as before, one of the most memorable shoots of my life.

Gem is not only highly professional and polished in every way, she is such fun to work with and makes shooting with her a real joy.

Recommended? well of course what else can one say about this very talented and beautiful young lady.

Thanks a million Gem.

Had a great shooting with Gemma this week, fantastic model, very professional and fun to work with too. Gem is a very genuine person; she brought some lovely cloths and lingerie with her. The day was what all photoshoots should be. My colleague Neil and I got some great shots. Thanks Gemma, hope to work with you again soon.

Neil Jolley

What else can I say about Gemma that hasn't already been said in her many reviews. Gemma worked hard to give us the images we needed. The clothes and lingerie she brought were excellent. Nothing was too much hassle and Gemma is very easy to get on with. I had a great time and hope to do it again soon.

Highly recommended.

Worked with Gemma for the first time. What an amazing model and lovely person she is. Gemma brought the previously discussed clothing and just fell into the required poses instinctively. Between us we achieved a very high number of keeper images while at the same time having a lot of fun producing them.

Gem is very highly recommended to any level of Photographer and it's not a question of if but when we will work together again. Thanks so much Gemma.

Had the pleasure of photographing Gemma while she was hosting a studio day at The Loft in Colchester. Gemma is so incredibly easy to work with, we hadn't met previously but in no time we had a great rapport and the shoot was an absolute pleasure.

I hope we manage to work together again in the future and would highly recommend Gemma to others.
