Yesterday I had a most fantastic shoot with the lovely Kelly Maynard.

From our pre-shoot communications I instinctively knew that this was going to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience and my instinct was fully justified.

With her engaging smile and bubbly personality together with such awesome beauty and features, Kelly makes shooting with her such a memorable experience and the time just flew by.

Kelly arrived at the station right on time and brought a wardrobe that would complement a top department store: there just wasn’t enough time in our four hour shoot to take advantage of her lovely costumes.

Andrew Griffiths of Saracen House Studio set up the perfect portrait lighting, as is his wont, in addition to keeping us duly refreshed.

Kelly needed no direction and as can be see from my images on here, is one of the most talented and oh so beautiful models. I must recommend this young lady as being top of the tree.

Thank you Kelly and I do hope we shall be able to work together again very soon.

Kelly booked way in advance with me and comms were brilliant.

We went out to some local landmarks and the weather was kind to us.

Not only is Kelly incredibly beautiful she is also great fun to be around and we had a very quick 4 hours in the country.

Kelly was not afraid to get dirty and roll around in the mud although she did keep checking for snakes!

I had to chuckle seeing her take fright and squeel from time to time over not a lot! But then she is a girl and I vouch for that 100%.

At the end of the shoot we decided to get some shots in a field and I was very impressed when I mentioned going topless quickly 20ft from the car park with a big gap in the hedge.

Not only did she absolutely want to go topless but she stayed that way for a few minutes to ensure I got some shots and just managed to cover up when a dog found us it was quite exciting really.

How naughty!

Kelly poses effortlessly and has an elegant and beautiful shape I am pretty sure i did not direct her at all.

This girl is one of the most impressive models I have ever worked with and hopefully she has time for me again someday.

Absolutely 100% bang to rights recommended.

Kelly shot with me at the studio over 3 hours and was brilliant to work with. Pre-shoot comms excellent, researched her journey and was on time / a bit early which was perfect. Very, very easy to get along with which meant we got the maximum out of the time. Would happily recommend and work with again.

I've been incredibly lucky so far with my creative portrait photography escapades to work with some very professional and accommodating models - Kelly was no exception. She not only turned up superlatively made up but brought an array of dresses and veils to utilise on the shoot, illustrating her willingness to participate fully in the creative process and wasn't at all phased by some of the stranger concepts I had in mind on what was a twilight shoot and possibly the hardest for me in terms of understanding how to utilise the sources of artificial light I had brought along for dramatic effect. She understood exactly the sense of tense melodrama I was seeking. Suffice to say I would work with her again and unreservedly recommend her to other photographers both experienced and new to this genre.

First shoot with Kelly today and have to say the only thing that I wasn't happy about was the sun not playing ball!

Kelly was brilliant! Posed with ease, happy to try any ideas and was great at offering ideas for where to shoot as I was new to the area. Oh, and brought cola bottles (which I love) so I maybe a little bias with my review ;)

As expected I came away with some excellent images. Would I shoot together again....

....of course I would, and so should you! And not just for the cola bottles!

Second shoot with the lovely Kelly,this time in a studio - just as well as the weather was less than perfect, very overcast and drizzling.

As before Kelly was perfectly on-time for when I picked her up and was ready to go with hair and makeup done to a high standard.

Kelly is a lovely young lady with a slim athletic figure - she knows how to pose but also takes direction well - she's also very patient allowing me to take my time to get the lighting right by adjusting her pose and/or the lighting etc.

We shot mainly art-nude/body scapes and we came away with some excellent images that we ate both really happy with.

As I've said before shes fun to work with, has a great sense of humour, is professional, motivated and works to achieve great results.

100% reccommended by me.

Many thanks again Kelly - looking forward to working with you again soon.

Absolute JOY to work with - shot on location for nigh on four hours without taking a break - Kelly brought a wide range of quality outfits and accessories with her - happily put up with mud and rockslime to get the best shot - good easy-going company whilst all the time staying focused on the job in hand - excellent pre-shoot communication and planning

*****can't recommend her highly enough*****

Kelly was one of the models on my recent underwater shoot. Underwater modelling is a huge challenge, and very hard work for the models as the techniques for posing that they are familiar with simply don't work. Having said that Kelly was prepared to put in the effort to discover what would work for her and constantly improved over the duration of the shoot despite swallowing half the pool :)

Hugely capable and professional model, and thoroughly nice person - totally recommended

Kelly is a joy to work with and although she has not been modelling long, she is very competent, takes direction well and has some wonderful poses. I would highly recommend working with her and I cannot wait to edit the shots. Thank you kelly, I am already looking forward to the next shoot with you.

Kelly is awesome! Book her! Shoot her dammit, and not in a 'gun to the head' kinda way.

Yup, that should do it for some feedback!

This lady is the something special. I recently got to work with Kelly for the first time last week and she has got to be one of the best models I've ever had the joy of working with.

She may not have been doing modelling for very long but you wouldn't be able to tell in the slightest way. Some seasoned models don't even come close to this lady. Not only is Kelly a stunning natural looking woman, she has the right mentality for wanting to create beautiful looking images. Her commitment and desire are like nothing I've seen before. She whole heartedly threw herself into our photoshoot and put up with cold and muddy conditions for the sake of wanting to get amazing images. Her pre shoot communication was on point and impeccable. She arrived fully prepared and on time.

To top it all off Kelly is an absolute joy not only to with it, but also to be around as a person. I can not recommend her enough.

My second session with Kelly was on location in indifferent weather, but she was undaunted and worked hard to get the results we wanted. She was really good the first time we worked together, but now, with more experience, she is developing a real intuition about what the picture calls for. She also has the artistic instinct to throw in beautiful ideas of her own, if inspiration flags.

She can change from a prim and proper English Rose to a seductive siren in a moment and looks lovely in everything.

I certainly enjoyed working with her and got some excellent results. I hope we can do it again soon.

I have met Kelly today for creative, conceptual photo session with my designs, styling ideas, etc. I was hypnotised by her energy and beauty from the very first minute! I have seen in her a big potential to be a Great model! She was natural, emotional and highly creative, giving ideas and best of her to make the session and my vision, more magical, spiritual, provocative and successful. We have got some mind-blowing images and both happy of our creations. Kelly will always be one of the shiniest stars with whom I would love to work even on daily basis! However, I will struggling of producing that many ideas to be able to feed her hungry creative mind and modelling, make up, artistic talent! I will recommend Kelly ten billion times and advise everyone to book her if you need quality, personality and aesthetics for your creative photography or other work of art!

Had my first shoot with Kelly last Sunday and wow what a lovely young lady she is.

I contacted her on the Friday with an idea and within couple of hours she had responded and we had agreed times etc.

Shes fairly new to modelling but already has an excellent and varied portfolio.

Kelly is fun to work with, enthusiastic, able to pose on her own and takes diection well.

Watch her port shes going to go far

Thanks for a great shoot Kelly x

Highly recommeded by me to all photographers and can't wait to work together again !

Thank you,

It was my privilege to work with Kelly earlier this week and she is a star! Kelly arrived promptly for our shoot as planned, very well prepared and equipped with 'everything but the kitchen sink' in her cases. She is polite, friendly and very easy to get on with and posed elegantly and naturally with great results. I would very much like to work with Kelly again and happily highly recommend her.

Had a fantastic shoot with Kelly, she is very friendly and brings a lot to the table. We had to unlearn a few bad habits some other photographers had taught her but she takes direction well to get the desired result. A pleasure to work with and will be using her in future, I can see a successful future.

DavidN

Pre-shoot communications with Kelly were excellent and she arrived on time and fully prepared.

She hasn't been modelling long, but is either a "natural" or has been practising a lot, because she moved effortlessly between poses and ideas - very much a "don't look away, you'll miss something really good" type of model. She was also very good at adopting different styles according to what the picture required.

She has a lively, friendly personality and I couldn't believe how quickly the time flew and how many pictures we did.

I'm hoping to work with Kelly again before long, but I'm sure there will be a queue forming!

Her attitude towards modelling is thoroughly professional and she is very level-headed.

Phew! cant add very much to Michail's comments... I have been working with Kelly for at least 6 months now probably longer, in that time I have seen her grow and blossom into the perfect English Rose. Its an often over used phrase... but this time it fits perfectly... a natural beauty, definitely. I was lost for words the first time I saw her and I still am now every time I see her. She is very creative and passionate about her work and driven to get the best image possible for you regardless of the situation whether that is in the studio or on location. She is great fun to work with, she is creative, inspiring and totally un-pretentious. Beautiful, stunning, someone needs to invent several new adjectives to describe her. She is destined to reach the heights of modelling and I feel honored and privileged to have played a tiny part in her exciting journey of discovery. Cannot recommend her enough.
