I saw that Ilvy was in London so I snapped up the opportunity to shoot her - I had wanted to work with her for ages! She exceeded expectations - an excellent model who has really practised not only posing but understanding of light and composition. She's easy to work with, friendly and willing to work with ideas to create the image you have in mind - but I got the best pictures of the day when I asked her what SHE would shoot in that location and she brought her photographic skills to the table as well as her modelling ones.

Sooo highly recommended by me and I hope to be able to shoot with her again soon!

Finally managed to shoot with Ilvy after admiring her work for a good while and plenty of people telling me to do so. I was not disappointed. She travelled quite a distance getting to the studio we had agreed to shoot at and despite the start being a tad cold she soldiered on! What an incredible model, I had seen a lot of great photos of her past work and realised she really is the reason why they are great. The shoot went effortlessly with a billion poses and expressions in her skillset. Trouble was knowing when to stop and changing to a new concept as she really can go on creating more amazing poses.. Her personality is clear and to the point but also makes the perfect conversationalist. So it was like shooting with a friend I had known a long time. I really loved every minute and hope we shoot again.

I had the pleasure of working with Ilvy this November. I must say, besides being very professional, she’s very versatile too! I love her classic poses, but she can be very creative too, feels the vibe of the shoot and adjusts accordingly. 🙏

I had an opportunity to work with Ilvy remotely organized by Zoi Morgan and Dreaming of Models. She is a lovely and talented model who was engaged and helpful in creating beautiful images. She is an experienced model who made the process enjoyable and she is easy to work with. Her work is top notch and I would highly recommend her for any type of work.

I had a remote shoot with Ilvy and it couldn't have gone better. She hasn't had that many, but we shot at Zoi's (Dreaming of models) and she helped so much. Ilvy and I communicated in the days before the shoot and when we did shoot we knew what we wanted and she was very accommodating. I never got the feeling that shooting remotely was uncomfortable for her and she took my suggestions with good cheer and we did very well together. I had wanted to shoot with her for a while now and certainly wasn't disappointed. I hope to shoot with her again and most assuredly recommend her to any photographer whether in person or remotely. Thank you Ilvy.

Ooh, it looks like I didnt give a reference for Ilvy. On the other hand, Ilvy doesnt need a reference, see below. Ilvy is wonderfu: next to an amazing model, professional, she is a great personality. I enjoyed working with Ilvy many times in several years. We worked at beautiful locations, indoor , outdoor and studio. Ilvy was/ is always outstanding.

Ilv is now also organizing events. F you have the opportunity to shoot with Ilvy, go for it.

I attended to the great Ilvyphotoartevent in Madeira arranged by Ilvy Kokomo. She was also modelling at the event. Location for shooting was a marvelous villa and there was lot of beautiful shooting locations both inside and outside. Event was very well arrange by any way. The catering was taken care of Ilvys husband Rudolfs and it was delicious. Rudolfs took also part of some duo shooting. Ilvy is born to be a model. She is a professional and can create beautiful photos. At the diffucult circumstances, like rain, fog and storm, she inspires all the other models and photographers. She is also great in duoshootings. I recommend her events and also book her as a model. Thank you Ilvy. See you next year in one of your events.

I shooted with gorgeus Ilvy Kokomo for the second time. This time I attended Ilvy Kokomo photoevent arranged by her. She is very good arranging event with her husband Rudolf. Every went well and in time.

I shooted her alone and among with others. It was every time easy and great. I hope I can attend again an event arranged by her. I highly recommend her and her events to all the photographers.

I’ve just enjoyed 3 wonderful full and creative days photographing Ilvy at a beautiful manor house at an event organised and run by her

She is a beautiful, skilled and versatile model and it was a real joy to photograph her

I asked for real time feedback and learned a lot from her helpful suggestions

Ilvy also modelled in some detailed scenarios that I described in which she delivered exactly the atmosphere and stories that I was seeking. She worked closely with other models to further develop the narratives

Ilvy is also a very skilled and creative photographer and I loved the images she produced

I highly recommend Ilvy both as a model and also the amazing events that she produces

I’m looking forward to working with her again and attending another of her exceptional events

I had the pleasure of organising a trip to Latvia with Ilvy covering 4 days and another model. I arranged the main location and gave Ilvy my moodboard with ideas and she expertly made the locations a reality with some additional options.

I cannot explain in words how good Ilvy is as not just a model but a location scout/organiser. I've worked with some of the best models in the world, but Ilvy manages to be head and shoulders above the rest. Her beauty, her presence, her expertise show through. Thank you again Ilvy and fingers crossed for later in the year or worst case, my next trip to Latvia with the best host ever.

Ilvy sets the gold standard for modelling. She is the most professional model I have worked with. Her communication pre shoot is excellent, she comes fully prepared to shoot and she knows the lighting and angles that suit her.

I had a fab shoot with Ilvy, she was interesting to talk to, very easy going and absolutely wanted to make sure we got the best images possible. I'm extremely happy with what we achieved.

Do I recommend Ilvy? 100% I would love to shoot with her again, there is plenty more to do.

I took up a last minute option to shoot with Ilvy at West Sussex Studio and I am so glad that I did. Ilvy is a beautiful model and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. She is very relaxed and professional and is also lovely to chat with.

She told me that she rarely comes to the UK but if she does I will definitely move heaven and earth to shoot with her again. :-)

Recommended without question. A lovely person and stunningly beautiful.

Thanks for a fabulous shoot.

Ilvy is a magnificent and outstanding model. Simply the best. But she's no diva, rather she's lovely, relaxed, and collaborative. If I could I would shoot with her every month. My favourite shoot to date.

Had a fantastic first shoot with Ilvy at Space 63 studio in London recently.

Ilvy has an amazing look and is a joy to work with. Pre-shoot comms were excellent,and she was more than happy to use some of my own styling during the shoot.

We got through several sets during the shoot,shooting in different areas of the studio and worked together to get images we are both really happy with. On the day I immediately found her easy to get on with. She is totally professional, has a great look, is confident, poses naturally without direction,but also responded to direction perfectly.

I would highly recommend Ilvy to photographers of all experience levels, and look forward to working with her again sometime.

Thank you for a great shoot

I had the pleasure of working with Ilvy at a weekend event organised by Summers abroad. Ilvy was very professional and able to work with ideas, posing effortlessly with little need of direction and even offer advice from a photographer's perspective. She is friendly and co-operative to work with and we created some great images together.

Wonderful model, highly recommended. Given the opportunity I would love to work with Ilvy again.

Super glad I got to work with Ilvy in Antwerp. She is an amazingly good model and creates the most beautiful and fluent shapes with ease. Super kind and chill, just the way I like it. Would definitely want to work with her again.

Thanks again for going along with my unexpected ideas... and euhm sorry for the scratches, hope they'll be worth it in the end ! :s

Ilvy is someone that I have been following for years and her work and look has always inspired me. We've struggled to work together before as we've always been in other parts of the world, but Ilvy was more than worth the wait.

One of the finest models I have ever had the pleasure of working with and I have been fortunate to work with some of the very best. She is a kind soul and has an incredible prescene in front of the camera.

Thank you Ilvy for the time in Zurich, fingers crossed for the next shoot together.

Road To Sensual Art

Working with Ilvy was a great time. No doubt that her 14 years of modeling experience are bringing a lot of value! Her natural way of being, her professionalism, her talent, were beyond my expectations. She took time to catch the mood of shooting and played perfectly the role. Thank you so much Ilvy for everything.

When Ilvy advertised here on PP that she would come to the Netherlands in order to do some shoots, I did not hesitate and booked her immediately. Why? Because she is a professional model who takes her job seriously, good results are almost guaranteed. She understand the photographer well and obviously enjoys what she is doing. Bbeside that she can be easy going and super friendly as well.

For the occasion Ilvy was staying a few days at a fine location with character, and she was right in choosing the place. It was expensive, but worth it.

It was such a pleasure to work with her in the past and it was a pleasure to work with her now.

No doubt it will be a pleasure to work with her in the future.

Highly recommended.
