References for Ivory Flame

I have worked with Ivory Flame numerous times before, but this is the first time we have ever done a remote shoot. Owing to the current Covis-19 crisis, a "normal" shoot is not currently possible. I therefore jumped at the chance to shoot remotely with Ivory Flame, and I am delighted with the results. The technology takes a little time to get used to, but Ivory Flame guides you through the process expertly and the results (as you can see) can be fabulous. The pace is much slower than you may be used to, but that encourages you to think carefully about each and every shot, which I consider a positive.

I would have no hesitation about shooting this way again, and recommend every photographer to consider working with Ivory Flame on a remote shoot.

Ivory Flame very kindly agreed to contribute to my Helmut Newton-inspired “Lockdown Selfie” project. The shoot concept is very simple - two identical poses, one clothed and one nude - but the execution can be challenging and I’m extremely grateful to Ivory Flame for the time and effort she spent on putting together two images with such wonderful style, poise and pose. Ivory Flame kindly agreed to let me post-process the images and I’m absolutely thrilled with the results that we’ve created together. Thank you so much and I can't wait for us to be able to shoot together again in person! 😀

I had my first shoot last Thursday with Ivory Flame.

This was a most unusual shoot in that it was a remote shoot. Holly was great with helping me to get the techie side sorted. Once that connection had been made, the shoot was great fun. I can see this becoming a feature of photography moving forward, in that togs will get to work with models from other locations in the UK as well as other countries in the world.

As one would expect from a top model, the pre shoot communications were top drawer. Holly was great fun to work with. Full of great ideas, and we were able to get the shots we wanted.

Holly is highly recommended. I’m sure to work with her again in the future.

*Remote shoot* – Ivory Flame in England, me in Norway

Ivory Flame is a wonderful model I know very well, and we have worked together several times in England, Norway and in Iceland.

This time we decided to do a *remote* shoot with her in England and me in Norway due to the current Covid-19 situation. We wanted a smooth system producing high quality images with as much control to the photographer as possible. Briefly described I could shoot high quality images with her professional DSLR camera. From my computer I had access to most of the settings and the shutter release on her camera through tethering and remote desktop software. We communicated by video call on cell phone.

The shooting experience was almost as if we were together the same place! We could be creative as usual and we discussed how to achieve the images I wanted *just the same way* as we usually do. We communicated easily and I could decide camera position and ask where I wanted her to be in the room. She gave me very good overview of the location through the video call. I felt we could work very close to how we usually do!!!

There are some limitations of course! The camera was mounted on a tripod. I had to ask for the camera to be moved and positioned. However, Ivory Flame positioned the camera and made necessary changes very swiftly. She is a talented photographer herself and knows her camera very well! Normally I move dynamically while shooting to take care of the composition and framing as the model moves. Also, there is a small delay over the Internet when clicking the shutter. So, the shoot must have a slower pace, but that fitted our shoot very well. Also, I would prefer to meet in person if it was possible, but this was a very good substitution!

Holly is truly such nice and friendly person, so even with the few limitations of remote shooting, the experience felt very comfortable and like how we usually work together. Most important, we got amazing images created by true collaboration between the two of us! Thank so much Holly!

I highly recommend *shooting remotely* with Ivory Flame, and of course the usual way when that is possible!!!

It barely seems no time at all since I last worked with Holly.

This time in a totally different environment, some 5000 miles away on the Yucatan peninsular of Mexico. We spent the best part of a week on a tour of some great locations and Haciendas around Merida.

At each location Holly truly excelled, a boundless enthusiasm for modelling in such stunning surroundings, totally in her element around many great architectural features of the many Haciendas visited. Long days, much travelling, hot and humid conditions nothing would deter Holly from delivering an awesome opportunity for great images - any failings would be mine.

Anyone who hasn't worked with Holly should correct that as soon as they can. Book Holly as soon as you are able.

As ever very, very, highly recommended.

My second great shoot with Holly. We worked in the main studio at Image Red where the owner, Brian, ably assisted us. Holly’s pre-shoot communications were excellent and she arrived well prepared. We covered a variety of styles from emotive portraits, in which she excels, to fashion, but including experimental work where we projected some of my images onto Holly.

Holly takes a keen interest in the back of the camera, adjusts her poses when necessary and offers constructive suggestions. With such a model, it’s not surprising that together we created some gorgeous images.

My first studio shoot with Ivory, and am sure it will not be the last. I missed Ivory when she last visited Aura studio - but not this time.

As always presented a very open brief with a few ideas that I'd like to shoot - Ivory was well prepared bringing her own suggestions to the shoot. Regular reviews allowed us to refine a few poses with subtle changes in angle creating some fantastic sculptured shapes and poses.

We worked a couple of different sets and Ivory excelled in all that we executed.

I look forward to our next opportunity to shoot in just a week or twos time in a totally different environment.

As ever, highly recommended.

Had a fantastic day shooting with Holly! We were able to easily move through a number of different setups where I set the scene and Holly was able to interpret what I wanted through her effortless posing. Her knowledge of photography and lighting were particularly helpful to make the most of the setups. Highly recommended as a model and as a great person.

I have shot with Holly many times over the years and she continues to prove to be an inspiration each time, providing me with fabulous imagery.

This shoot was quickly organised as she was already in the area, very professional, very smooth and arranged with the minimum of messages. She arrived on time with the accessories we had discussed ... perfect.

Holly is a great person and amazing model whom I whole heartedly recommend.

I shot with Holly this weekend during a home shoot organised by a friend and I in Cambridge.

Holly was awesome fun to work with and arrived with an extensive wardrobe to suit what we had planned.

Over the course of the three hours that we spent working together, Holly helped realise our aims - not only taking on board our moodboards and translating them into her posing and expression, but also sharing thoughts, ideas and suggestions of her own.

Holly has a thorough understanding of lighting and was generous with her photographic knowledge - something that certainly helped us realise our vision.

I'd recommend Holly without hesitation and look forward to working together again some time soon.

I have known Ivory since 2008, but we actually never got to work together until a few years ago in 2017. When I found out that she was coming to my area, I knew that I had to work with her again, despite knowing that our only location would be my small apartment studio set-up, which is very limiting and in which I'd felt that I'd exhausted all of the possibilities. How wrong Ivory proved me to be, as I felt like I was beginning to photograph there anew! Effortless posing, extreme grace and a very expressive, photogenic look are what she brought to me, in addition to being a wonderful and delightful person. I look forward to seeing the results when I get my film back. Highly recommended!!!

It is always wonderful to work with Ivory Flame, and I had the great pleasure to do so again in my home studio set-up. Although my set-up is rather small and limited, Ivory's dedication and modeling skills made the session worthwhile, and I look forward to working with her again. Highly recommended!!!

Had my first shoot with Holly today at Inspire Studios, Salisbury and what a lovely experience it was.

We went through a variety of styles, genres and lighting types and Holly was superb throughout. Always very professional and relaxed, with many laughs along the way. It really was a great couple of hours and the results were amazing.

A lovely person and model - so easy to shoot and definitely recommended.

Many thanks and I look forward to more shoots in the future

I was definitely not going to shoot for a few weeks. Absolutely no plans to dust off my camera. Then I get an email notification. A two hour slot to work with Ivory Flame on her studio day at Inspire Studio was available. What would you do?

Needless to say, this was too good an opportunity to miss. I booked my slot and after a quick exchange of emails we agreed to see what we could come up with on the day. Friendly and welcoming when we met, we had a look at the shooting spaces and quickly settled on a few ideas. Not everything we tried worked but we adapted and still shot a fantastic variety of sets within a necessarily restricted time.

Ivory Flame is unquestionably one of the most recognisable models on this site and I have long wanted to work with her. She is rated so highly because she is an exceptional model. Having seen this for myself, I know it will not be too long before we work together again. Thank you

Having worked with Holly ages ago I was so pleased to be able to renew our aquaintance during her studio weekend at the fantastic Inspire Studios in Salisbury. The time flew by yet we fitted in 9 different sets and Holly was every bit as fantastic to work with as 600+ positive references would lead you to expect. In trying to describe Holly as a model one would quickly run out of superlatives, she is thoroughly skilled and professional and works in a genuinely collaborative way with the photographer to deliver outstanding images. On top of this she is such a lovely person too.

Now, why did I let all that time go by between shoots?

What can I say that hasn't been said before - Holly is the consummate professional, so easy to work with, friendly, creative, knowledgeable and keen to get the shots I wanted. She happily worked with the couple of props I had brought and was very helpful with getting the lighting, angles and focus point right. We worked through several sets, the time flew by and I came away with some stunning images. She is a lovely young lady and is thoroughly recommended - if you get the chance to work with her just jump at the opportunity. I look forward to working with her again

Well after 4 days of having Holly at the studio I am totally blown away by how fantastic she is in ensuring every photographer got unique images with her fab styling and posing. Holly is such a delight to be around, with a beautiful personality and gentle nature. I was lucky enough to get an hour shooting with her too and wow she is one model I can't wait to shoot with again. 100% recommend this lovely lady and looking forward to seeing her back again later in the year.
