Harley, Harley, Harley - what an awesome lady!!!! :)

i was recently lucky enough to spend a day with the ever so gorgeous Harley Monster recently :)

the day was split into two parts - the first half of which was spent in the excellent 'Studio Fifty Eight' in Northampton and the second we spent doing a little autumnal loveliness around Stony Stratford.

i have to say, having worked with Harley a number of times now, that she is an absolute joy to work with - she is always chilled, creative and a lot of fun shoot with - plus she's a totally natural model :)

100% recommended!!!

thanks Harley for an awesome shoot and day! until next time! :)

I'm ever so pleased with myself. I managed to book Harley for an all-day shoot during her brief visit to the sunny South-west. Great move on my part!

Having worked with her before I'd already found that her pre-shoot communications were excellent and that, on a shoot, she has individuality and that she's creative, energetic, enthusiastic, experienced and also has a great eye for styling and make up. So on Saturday I had the pleasure - nay, privilege - of another day of all that. Yes... Harley's input to the shoot was invaluable.

On top of all that there's her great personality and sense of humour, so the shoot was not only very productive but was also hugely enjoyable.

Brilliant day. Thanks, Harley! You're a joy to work with.

Harley very kindly wore a couple of my corsets that I loaned to Orson Carter for a shoot he had booked with her - she looked fab in them and styled them perfectly!

I absolutely love the images that I received and would happily work with Harley in the future :)

This was probably the longest time either of us have had between arranging a shoot and the day itself! But oh my goodness was so worth the wait!!

We'd been chatting for ages already so we already knew that we'd get on and we did! I always say to people that as a hobbyist my time off is precious and I like to not only get some great images but also to have fun. Today ticked so many of my boxes its untrue.

Just the perfect way to spend a day - Harley is a joy to be around, great to talk to , wonderful company and an accomplished and amazing model.

I was genuinely sad that the day had to end but we have so many killer images from the shoot its unbelievable!

Totally highly recommended and such a shame we aren't closer as Harley is the sort of model I could never get tired of working with.

Would work with again in a heartbeat!

After chatting for a while about a collab Harley and I spent a couple of hours earlier this month shooting. I can't really say enough good things about the session. Great poses, good comms and minimal direction made Harley a pleasure to work with.

Top stuff

Finally got to shoot with Harley the other day.

Communication beforehand was brilliant.

On the day she turned up with bags of clothes and energy, it was a really fun shoot and generally had a great day. Harley needed no direction at al, which is to be expected from model of her calibre and had lots if ideas and input before and during shoot.

Would i recommend her.....100%

Would I work with her again....100%

100% awesome.

There's no doubt about it, Harley makes an ace collaborator. For one thing, she is an experienced and professional model with a massive wardrobe that she can dip into. For another, she works hard to help you realise what it is that you are trying to capture. She is a bit of a star, to tell the truth. Great communications before the shoot (always a good start) meant that there were no misunderstandings on the shoot. She readily grasped the ideas that I suggested for our collaboration and then worked with me to make it happen. She has an excellent understanding of what works for her and is able to communicate that effectively, to the benefit of the shoot. She is easy to work with, has an outgoing and friendly personality with a professional attitude, is hard working and communicative during the shoot, works well to direction (but can also help you out by running through a set of poses if you need that), has really great make up skills, and a big suitcase full of props and clothes etc. Everything was easy. Beginner or seasoned pro, I can easily see Harley working successfully with either with equal aplomb.

Thanks Harley

Derelict buildings, bumpy tracks, sea walls, fit it all into an afternoon/evening shoot.

Such a cool person! Shoot Harley again? All day long........

Harley is such a sweet and welcoming girl as well as a fantastic model. Before she had even met me, she gave me a lift to the FBW shoot yesterday with her and Bea. She is a killer model, a natural performer with a great look. She looked totally kickass yesterday! She let me use her fire sticks as props which really made a difference to my solo shots. I am so grateful to her for helping me out yesterday, thanks again lovely! Hope we get to shoot again soon, Kira x

A fantastic shoot last week with the wonderful Harley who's experience and passion for being a model shines through on every photograph. She truly is a fantastic model who poses effortlessly without any direction, but yet happily takes any on board to help create the perfect photo.

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the shoot and hope there will be many more :)

Had my third shoot with Harley at the weekend and I'm already looking forward to the next.

Harley arrived at the studio with a vast array of outfits for the shoot, so many to choose from which allowed us to create a myriad of different looks from the shoot. Her poses are spectacular, her looks are incredible, and that smile will light the darkest of rooms. She's fun to be around and easy to get on with.

Graceful, elegant, beautiful, and charming; Harley is, quite simply, amazing.

Shot Harley at my studio in Stalybridge. Excellent model with a fantastic look. Takes direction really well and can also pull off some amazing poses with any direction at all. 100% recommended.

Been meaning to get a shoot fixed up with Harley for a long time, we finally managed to get a date sorted and we shot up at a location Harley knew.

Lovely person, hard working, enthusiastic and plenty of ideas of her own.... Harley was a pleasure to work with. Windy and cold she pushed on through the elements and was professional throughout.

I'd certainly recommend Harley and look forward to shooting with her again in the future!

Hmmmmm what can i say about my shoot with Harley ?? I always find writing these references tough , especially when you read all the other excellent reviews already listed .

Our shoot was like a meeting of old friends, we had been speaking on Facebook for ages and due to my hectic schedule never managed to match a date .....i've been kicking my self since....

Epic model, ace lady , fab wardrobe and totally similar tastes to myself. I recommend her to anyone.

Communications faultless and a joy to talk to ....a top top lady !!!

a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to have my second shoot with the totally gorgeous bundle of modelling talent that is Harley Monster. she's awesome!!! :)

we'd tried a few times to arrange our second shoot but due to various circumstances the delay was longer than certainly I had hoped for.

we'd talked about things and come up with the idea of an evening location shoot - come the fateful day and the weather gods contrived a little against us (rain and cold wind) but we ploughed on through and I so glad we did - we got some cracking stuff!

the dynamic was that of two friends walking around chatting and snapping away - it just felt so natural.

Harley is an absolute pleasure to work with - she friendly, relaxed and so cool to work with.

I wholeheartedly recommend her with - no reservation at all!

thank you so much Harley! :)

looking forward to doing it again sometime!! :)

My oh my.

I've wanted to work with Harley for over two years now, but had only recently plucked up the courage to ask her to collaborate. Don't get me wrong - I wasn't scared of Harley, just the standard and diversity of her amazing port.

Luckily for me, Harley said yes and luckier still, she opted for one of the more conceptual ideas I had, simmering away on the legend that is Pinterest.

Harley has a plethora of amazing references from equally amazing collaborators, so I am going to avoid repetition of what is now bleeding obvious (vast array of poses / requires probably no direction / visually arresting etc) and touch upon the lesser addressed benefits of shooting with her;

Harley is not only all of the above (possibly more, but I have misplaced my thesaurus for suitable synonyms) but she is also altruistic, infinitely more patient that I could possibly have hoped for, completely engaging and brave. I mean that as in, aside from all of the fire breathing/bed of nails thing she has going on, she is intellectually and creatively brave - willing to dip her toe into nano-projects that may not immediately provide her with the exposure that this crazy place feeds upon - all for the sake of creativity. And I admire that as it is a rare thing indeed.

On top of all that, our shoot was (due to prevailing circumstances) quite short, but Harley smashed it. Like totally. I have shot more images than I have ever done previously and it wasn't a case of machine gunning my way through the shoot - its just that she kept giving (and greedily, I kept taking). We managed to fit in costume changes, dead flowers, hemp string abstraction and even deader insects, Polaroids and multiple film changes (and more!)

If a penny had exchanged hands during this shoot, I'd be saying that it was amazing value for money / bang per buck, but the amazing thing is Harley does this for trade?!!

One of PurplePort's big hitters. Miss collaborating with Harley at your peril.

Brilliant!
