Met Gem for the first time yesterday and despite still suffering from a nasty virus she had picked up in Wales, was incredibly professional. (I suspect the deafness in one ear probably helped her filter out my continuous wittering!)

We had a 4 hour shoot at Studio88 in High Wycombe and covered several genres, though we seemed to spend a lot of the time on Film-Noire set (or Art Noire as I kept calling it) and have got some fantastic images. Had to almost have the GOBO modifier physically removed as I enjoyed working with it so much.

Incredibly easy person to work with, and as you would expect from a model of such experience, flowed seamlessly from pose to pose without direction.

In conclusion - I highly recommend Gem and will almost certainly work with her again.

I had my first shoot with Gem at Paul’s Wales weekend. I had a chance to speak to Gem ahead working together which meant we had a shared understand of how we would work together to have a successful shoot. Gem was happy with the locations I selected and we create a series of really strong images.

I would be more than happy to work with her again in the future and would recommend her to other photographers.

I met and worked with Gem for the first time at Pauls Studio Wales weekend: I was very impressed! Gem posed beautifully despite my sometimes weird ideas :) and was super easy to work with and create a rapport with. I hope, very much, I can work with Gem again.

Wow working with Gem at Paul's Weekend in wales was incredible. We got on from the second we met and we created some amazing sets together.

I'm really glad I got to work with Gem as she has been someone who's work I'd admired for a while and she is wonderful to work with

I look forward to the opportunity to work with Gem again and I would highly recommend her.

I worked with Gem at a Paul's Studio Wales weekend. I was impressed with her posing ability, particularly her statuesque poses. She was very easy to work with and managed to make sense of my vague directions. I would be very happy to work with her again, and would recommend her to any photographer.

Had my first studio shoot since pre Covid and Gem was the perfect model to help me get back in the swing of things. Gem is very down to earth, chatty and puts you at ease immediately. She's also an excellent model posing effortlessly but also listens to ideas, happily takes them on board and adds her own magic to ensure superb results. There's a reason Gem has worked with some of the very best photographers and on large commercial shoots. Highly recommended, would love to work with her again.

I had a very enjoyable studio shoot with Gem. She is a pleasure to work with, having the ability to change poses without effort but taking notice of directions and also offering her own interpretations for you to consider. Well done Gem.

This was my first shoot with Gem, organised during her model day at Cottage Studio. Gem proved to be a very talented and professional model and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. On arrival we had a brief discussion about the shoot plan I had given her, which she had come fully prepared for. Her posing is very strong and natural and at several times she seemed to be one step ahead of me which has produced some fantastic images. Very chatty throughout it was a brilliant shoot and I would very much look forward to working with her again in the future....highly recommended.....

Had the opportunity to work with Gem recently on a studio day. Gem poses effortlessly, listens to direction and delivers great results. I also found her very easy to get along with - all in all a great shoot.

Just fabulous! I was delighted to have my first shoot with Gem, a duo shoot with Elle Beth at Elle's home near Bristol. She is lovely, very chatty and friendly and put my right at ease when I arrived. She is such a skilled and experienced model, I seldom shoot duo but she and Elle were excellent at posing and helping me with ideas that really worked. She looks simply stunning and had a range of her gorgeous outfits available for the shoot.

I really enjoyed the shoot and it was a pleasure to work with such a talented and professional model. Highly recommended and I'd love to shoot with her again soon.

Great to get to work with the charming Gem again. This time as a duo with the lovely Elle Beth, and what an amazing duo they make. Skin tones and outfits perfectly complementing their natural beauty.

I was delighted this duo were working within a 30 min drive from me so i was determined not to miss the opportunity and capture some delightful soft sensuality.

Time passed in a flask with a lot of fun chat and effortless posing. Loving the results from these two ladies and would happily do it all again.

100% recommended.

I had a wonderful second shoot with Gem, this as a duo with Elle Beth. Gem has a natural beauty and elegance that shines through in all of the images (yes, even with the fluffy slippers), and our time shooting together just flew by. It's always great to work with creative and experienced models and Gem has both of these attributes in spades. Highly recommended!

This was my first shoot with Gem as part of her weekend event with Elle Beth. It was a delight to meet Gem who worked with Elle Beth really well and also as a solo model to create art nude and creative pictures using fabric. Gem is very experienced and brings great poses and expressions to the shoot creating brilliant pictures. She has wonderful curly hair which lends itself to renaissance type pictures and we were able to capture some wonderful portraits. I found Gem lovely to work with and she was able to take direction and modify her poses from feedback from back of camera, but she also inputs her own ideas into the picture. The time flew by, and I look forward to futures shoots with Gem. I recommend her most highly.

Thank you for a great shoot.

I had my first shoot with Gem 1-2-1 at the Boardroom, Derby. Pre-comms were excellent and Gem brought lots of outfits to suit the themes we had discussed.

The shoot was fun and professional, Gem worked hard to achieve the ideas and has a very positive attitude. The half day flew by which is the sign of a good shoot.

I highly recommend her and very much hope to work with her again, a true star.

Thanks Gem

Had a great first shoot with Gem (despite the weather). Gem had brought a number of outfits, effortlessly threw endless poses and gave me some great photos.

Looking forward to shooting again with Gem and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

I had the privilege of shooting Gem at Coach House Studio, at an RPS lighting working led by Jon Gray. Gem posed all day in various different setups, working professionally and constructively with several photographers and their ideas. She is an absolute pro at striking fantastic poses, and has a very good understanding of how her poses look with various lighting setups. The results were excellent. In addition she was very easy-going and fun to work with. I'd highly recommend her and would enjoy working with her again.

I had a my second shoot with Gem at Aura Studio we shot lots of different set, using both flash and Natural light in a nice relaxed style. This shoot was a 1-2-1 whereas the last one was a group shoot.

Gemma is a pleasure to work with 1-2-1, very relaxed, Chatty, helpful, intelligent and a joy to photograph, she bent over backwards to achieve lots of interesting poses!.

Our two hours flew by. Highly recommended

I had a great shoot with Gem at Aura Studio today, she had a good variety of outfits with her and posed freely which meant that I could concentrate on not making a complete mess of things on the camera end of things! I would definitely recommend Gem!

Had my first shoot with Gemma, on her studio day at AURA.

We had good communication beforehand to discuss the styles that we wanted to shoot, and Gemma was well prepared with a fantastic array of dresses and outfits.

Gemma was lovely to work with, easy to talk to and discuss ideas, and very professional and positive in her attitude.

We shot a good mix of natural and studio light, with a nice assortment of fashion and art nude.

Gemma is highly recommended by me, and i would love to work with her again in the future.
