Fabulous shoot with Gem, been years since we last worked together and when I saw her post a casting, I jumped at the chance to work with her again.

Since it was last minute, I didn’t really have much of a plan, but we managed to put together some quick sets and time flew by quickly.

Always have a great time shooting with Gem and would highly recommend her to anyone.

Thanks for the day Gem.

A super shoot with Gem today in London. Everthing went perfectly with the organisation and a most productive session ensued. Gem was able to come up with exactly what I was envisaging in outfits and posing and we have created marvelous images here.

Gem is a most accomplished model and a very nice person to work with.

Gem is a model that I had been meaning to arrange a shoot with for many years. So when I saw her recent casting I had to respond! She is great at posing without direction and has a huge selection of clothes. Gem is an easy person to work with and I would highly recommend her.

I had another wonderful shoot with Gem today. I asked her to bring a dress or two and she brought a Hollywood Style long sparkly gown that became the focus of the shoot. She looks perfect in it. Despite looking much younger than her years Gem is an invaluable source of tips and poses to improve the pictures of togs who are sensible enough to listen. She is easy to chat to and time always flies by - a good sign in my book. Thanks Gem - you are a real gem!

Having previously worked with Gem once before at a group shoot this was my first time 1-2-1 with this model. Gem was very professional, brought with her a great selection of outfits and was a pleasure to work with. She was very friendly, coming up with lots of great suggestions and was able to pose without need for much direction. Highly recommended.

I had the absolute pleasure working with Gem on a location shoot in Canterbury on the 17th Feb. I found the whole experience fascinating and informative. Gem was an absolute pleasure to work with, she had lots of outfits suited the settings we were in. She was professional, knowledgeable and very hard working, and a joy to work with.

I would highly recommend Gem on any shoot you had planned.

I’ve just had one of the most productive photoshoots I’ve ever had with regards to the high percentage of shots that look really promising as I review them on the computer.

I responded to a casting by Gem when she advised of her plans to visit Canterbury. We originally looked to shoot at Canterbury Studios but that doesn’t seem to be operating at the moment so the plan changed to shoot at her hotel. This actually turned out to be a change for the good.

Comms beforehand were excellent. With her extensive experience in modelling Gem is extremely thorough and very well organised.

The hotel she stayed in is a converted 15th century coaching inn, and her room had a 4 poster bed and vintage furnishings. The room also had good natural light from the main window helped by the fact it was a bright day anyway. It also featured a lot of bold colours and with the expensive wardrobe Gem brought we combined the two to arrive at some great colour schemes in the photos.

Gem is extremely friendly and easy to work with. She has a wonderful classical look and she poses beautifully. I recommend her 100% and look forward to working with her again in the not too distant future.

Good comms for an arranged shoot on a tour. Gem was very well prepared with beautiful make up. Lots of clothes lingerie and props to shoot with (we didn't do the vintage items). Very friendly with great choice of background music. Inventive and insperational. We were interrupted mid shoot which briefly put both of us out of kilter but Gem coped magnifacently.

Thanks for a really lovely shoot.

PS The images, like Gem, are really beautiful. She is a stunningly beautiful model.

DarkTime

There was good communication before the shoot, and Gem took time to understand the demands of the brief.

Gem was punctual and arrived well prepared. She came with an extensive supply of make up, suitable for a professional photo session. This was essential as the shoot involved complex, total body make-up. Gem’s considerable artistic flair and creative ability proved invaluable.

It was a long day, and Gem was polite, friendly, and a pleasure to work with throughout.

She showed considerable commitment, worked hard and put in extra hours to achieve the best possible outcome.

Her extensive experience of working in make up for film and photo shoots is a real asset. It was a pleasure to work with such talent and I was delighted with the result.

I would be honoured to work with her again and I highly recommend her.

Had a great photo session with Gemma today at the Cottage Studio (our second). Really nice to work with; very relaxed, easy to get on with, professional, always has good suggestions and it's fun. Altho' the shoots are planned, the real joy is in the spontaneity of what might work. Who knew we'd use a sword today! Gemma is very receptive to ideas and works hard for the beautiful image. She's a joy to work with.

As is Brian the studio owner, who's ever resourceful.

Fotos coming soon.

I can only add to all the positive comments made by others about Gem. She is a superb model and great professional. Uncomplaining, good-natured and chatty but with a good understanding of of poses and mood. Thanks Gem!

I had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with Gem on a 'Invoke the Masters' shoot arranged by Cariad Calis at Inspire Studios.

Gem is great fun to work with. She is professional, has a lovely personality, looks great, has great makeup and is able to pose very naturally. As this was an all day themed shoot she wore the selected cloths really well and was very patient and interested in what was being shot.

I came away with some fantastic images of Gem. I really enjoyed our time together and look forward to shooting 1 to 1 in the future.

Gem is well recommended by me.

I shot with Gem at Cariad Celis' 'Invoking the Masters event'.

Gem is a wonderful model, friendly and easy to work with. Her look suited the wonderful sets and costumes perfectly.

Working with Gem was collaborative, she makes excellent suggestions and was happy try out different ideas.

Highly recommended.

We recently had the absolute pleasure to work alongside and spend time with Gemma as we hosted our first ever event ‘Invoking the Masters’, at Inspire Studios, Salisbury.

Gemma actually came to our rescue when, filling in for another model that was unfortunatly stricken down by covid at the last moment, Gemma dropped everything to travel from London to be with us for the weekend, and for that we will be forever indebted to her.

Thank you so so much Gemma, not only for saving our event but for your tireless efforts to bring it to life and make it a fantastic experience for us and for all of our guests. You were incredible and we absolutely loved having you.

This is actually the second time we have been lucky enough to work with Gemma, and can say that she is fantastic to work alongside as a model and from a photographers point of view, she is an absolute joy too. Being an actress she takes direction with aplomb and can truly bring any character to life, which shows in frame.

We certainly would not hesitate to recommend Gemma to anybody.

Gemma, we truly hope to see you again soon and to work with you on further projects. Thank you again!!

I had a great shoot with Gem and ElleBeth at Cottage Studio. Gem was fun, professional and a vary accomplished model. She brings her own style and contributes to the shoot. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

I managed to get a slot with the wonderful Gem during her studio days at Inspire studio in Salisbury due to a cancellation. With nothing planned we had a great shoot doing three totally different looks.

Gem is so versatile and well prepared nothing is too much trouble, She is very professional but friendly too. Gem is very hard working and a joy to photograph. I look forward to working with her again. I recommend Gem, this is one model everyone needs to work with.

I had a shoot with Gem at Inspire Studio last Saturday, and she is great to work with, friendly, chatty, professional and effortlessly created a varied series of poses. So I guess there is little more I can add to her 382 previous references, other than to say thank you, and that I highly recommend Gem.

Having just hosted Gem's first set of studio days at Inspire, I was blown away by her professionalism, and lovely personality.....her modelling speaks for itself but you know you are going to get great images when you work with Gem!

I've seen many models suitcases full of clothes but wow Gem really did pack an awesome selection of outfits and I wish I'd had the opportunity to shoot with her myself......maybe on her next visit!

Absolutely recommend working with this fabulous lady.
