Had my first 2 hr. remote shoot with Holly today.

I was not sure how I would manage a remote shoot.

Holly explained very clearly how to focus and take shots and view results.

She was great at suggesting changes to F stops and ISO as the daylight changed.

I had provided some paintings and ancient sculptures, some costumes and props as a general theme for the shoot. I asked Holly to select suitable backdrops.

Had a very relaxed shoot and achieved much better photos than expected .

Would highlyrecommend a remote shoot with Holly who is a lovely person and a perfectionist in regard to posing .

I had the absolute honour and joy of meeting and working with the amazing Holly recently. I had briefly met Holly before virtually for a remote shoot where we captured each other so I already had an idea of how lovely she was. Holly is incredible in person! Such an incredible eye for detail, she knows exactly how to move and create mood with her posing but with her photographer's eye, she gives so much more than just posing to an image.

As a duo I felt really comfortable posing with Holly - despite her wealth of knowledge experience she is super easy going and down to earth.

We organised a group studio day together at Basford Hurst Cottage which went really well. Everything ran smooth and I can't thank Holly enough for doing a large chunk of the organisation.

I hope to meet again in the future with this incredible, talented woman.

Thanks for everything Holly!

This I think was my third time shooting with Holly. This shoot was a semi styled shoot organised by Salli Gainsford. I had carte blanche to do whatever I wanted with the added bonus of lights set up by Mike Baker and access to both Holly and Salli's extensive props/wardrobe. Holly is always amazing and never disappoints. I wanted to go with the theme of Art Deco and Holly not only went along with this but also helped to achieve this. My only regret is there aren't enough hours in the day to get to go through all my images and upload my favourites. I look forward to working again with Holly in the future. Thank you Holly.

It has been my good fortune and a real honour to shoot with Holly over many years - she has been a wonderful inspiration to me. Holly is such a lovely person, stunningly beautiful and such a brilliant and creative model. This time we shot at Basford Hurst Cottage Studio, which is such a great venue for both inside and outside photographic opportunities. As always Holly's pre-comms were excellent and we discussed outfits to bring to make the most of the creative opportunities. It was such an amazing shoot - we shot some lovely sets inside including a duo set with the brilliant and very beautiful Ashleigh Rae. Holly and I made use of the nice afternoon light to shoot some more sets outside. Holly's wonderful modeling, beautiful flowing shapes and creativity helped to result in such stunning and beautiful images from each set. Apart from having an awesomely great shoot it was great to catch up and chat about life in general which made the whole experience so memorable. I very highly recommend Holly to all photographers - you'll have such an amazing time plus achieve some outstanding images.

Thank you again Holly for another truly inspirational shoot.

I had my first shoot with Ivory Flame today at Basford Hurst Cottage.Holly offered me a shoot with tuition to help improve on what I was doing and as she is also a photographer her help and advice was very helpful.

Holly is a fantastic model easy to work with and she is professional in what she does.She poses with ease and makes sure that everything works well.

I enjoyed working with Holly and would recommend her 100%.

Thank you for a great shoot 😁

I had another amazing shoot with Holly today, via remote and I just want to let other creatives on Purpleport, how incredible Holly is at doing this....

Pre-comms were flawless and Holly's website, to peruse, is simple and easy to navigate, so I was able to choose my desired set up of background, furniture, small props, accessories and clothing.

Holly also got involved and gave me some extra advice too which was very gratefully received.

The shoot was very relaxed and I felt very comfortable shooting with Holly, as I was able to direct her posing, but also let her do her thing and she didn't disappoint....

I came away from this shoot with a fab set of images that I will treasure, forever!!!

This was my first 8hr shoot with Holly we have done a remote to her house and numerous 4hr shoots, This one was going to taken a forest location which was a short walk from her house, and then a home studio shoot later in her home studio set up.

The weather was perfect for the shoot, walking round the woods deciding on parts we could shoot that would give me different images from other photographers, and all without disturbing the wild life and dog walkers and the local hiking club.

We then went to the local pub for lunch and after continued with the outdoor location for a little while longer, before ending up back at her house to shoot in her home studio set up. We created some superb art images that I can not wait to share.

Holly is highly recommend by me, she is one of the best at what she dose and I can not wait to do an autumn shoot with her in October.

Another wonderful shoot with Ivory Flame (Holly), this time at Basford Hurst Cottage studio. It's always great working with Holly. She is fabulous to work with, full of creative ideas and also very knowledgeable and experienced, as well as being a superb model. It goes without saying that I recommend her without hesitation.

I had another wonderful shoot with the stunningly beautiful and inspirational Holly at her home last Thursday. Holly is an awesomely brilliant model and the loveliest of people. I have been so fortunate in working with Holly for a number of years and each shoot has been so creative resulting in wonderful images thanks to this amazing model. Last Thursday we shot four sets indoors and another two outside all resulting in outstanding images in each set. Holly is so creative and brilliant at matching the images to the photographer's style. Needless to say Holly comes extremely recommended to all photographers and I cannot wait until I can shoot with the wonderful Holly again.

Thank you so much Holly for your creativity, inspiration and kindness.

I shot with Ivoryflame during her fabulously themed Gothic weekend in march. She had decked out her room in swathes of fabric and had an enormous assortment of hand picked props to add to make each set different/unique. I had already communicated with her about her wardrobe via her website where you can actually view/choose outfits for her to wear during the shoot.

I did want to shoot her styled as a vampire, and that was a lot of fun as she really got into character. Shoots with Ivoryflame are always highly productive and entertaining, very easy going but also focused on ensuring you get the best possible images. I have shot with her many times in the past and hope to continue to do so in the future.

Thank you for another wonderful shoot... Highly recommended by me :)

So this was a combination of firsts, my first shoot with Ivory Flame, and also my first remote shoot, we had limited time as I booked for her Gothic Renaissance event quite late on. But I have come out with some great images. Ivory Flame (Holly) was a very good host taking time to explain the intricacies of remote shooting, I know I am probably the only photographer who hasn't done this before!

I had looked at her online wardrobe before the shoot so had some ideas of what type of look I was wanting, and Holly nailed to on every shot, the set building and decoration was superb and worked brilliantly with the looks that we shot. Holly was friendly welcoming and worked hard to get the shots that I wanted.

So after my two firsts I can only say that I will be making sure that I get to shoot with Holly again, and also must admit that remote shoots may actually be good thing. Most definitely recommended

This was my second shoot with Ivory Flame (Holly). She reached out to me last year and asked if I would like to visit her home/studio for a shoot specialising in her iconic pre-raphelite vintage look. TBH I jumped at the chance.

We didn't manage to get together until March 2024 but it was everything that I had hoped it would be and more. Not only is Holly a lovely welcoming host but she is enormously creative. She had gone to a great deal of trouble to get everything organised - a legacy of her remote shooting set up (which I thoroughly recommend if you live too far away). She not only has wonderful backdrops but of course fantastic period dresses and accessories together with furniture and a mass of fabrics which she uses to great effect to create stunning natural light sets - all within her front room.

Holly is so experienced that every pose is perfectly created to exploit the light and the set. Furthermore she has a brilliant grasp of photography herself and is able to offer plenty of advice along the way.

Totally recommended and I will definitely be working with her again as soon as I can. We had so many sets to shoot that we simply didnt have chance to complete within the 4 hours.

Thank you so much for a lovely shoot.

I've seen Ivory Flame's work for some time and I always wanted to work with her. But her being based in U.K. and me in the U.S. made it a bit of a challenge, even when she visited the U.S. (bad timing more than anything else).

Of all things, COVID provided a chance to work with her via remote session. While I had to deal with some growing pains with this new method, she was very patient and has brilliant ideas. I finally had a chance to work with her in person back in September 2023, and it was one of the best sessions I have had in my time as a photographer!

Ivory Flame is professional, creative, collaborative and patient with amateurs. If you have the chance to work with her, I highly recommend it!

Had a great shoot with Ivory Flame in her home studio.

As always she posed brilliantly.

The ability to select outfits and props in advance, using her provided web link, in line with my moodboards was excellent

I had the pleasure of my first shoot with Ivory Flame this week, and what a shoot it was! I don't know why I waited so long!

Ivory Flame's admin, comms and timing was, needless to say, spot on. She even provides an "outfit archive" - just tick the ones you want to shoot and she'll bring them. Brilliant.

Ivory needs little to no direction, posing fluidly in her classic style, and is also a fantastic resource on set using her experience to advise on lighting, location, etc. She's also really relaxed and excellent fun to work with; a total joy.

An all round excellent experience that generated a very high percentage of great images.

I cannot recommend Ivory highly enough, she's a truly exceptional model and I look forward to working with her again.

Thanks, Ms Flame.

We had a remoteshoot from Porto, Portugal to Ivory Flame studio. She is magician to creat photoshoots and locations. She gave me new ideas, that allways intrest me. Co-operation as a duo with Fleurdelis was professional. She is so great like every time we have shooted. I am allready looking forward to our next shoot. Thank you so much!

Fleurdelis

I was asked to work with Holly by photographer Ilkka on a remote shoot. I had wanted to try this for a long time but get very lost with technology so this was an amazing chance to road test the experience. Who better to first duo with than Holly ! She handled 2 hours technical while I posed, then we did 2 hours posing together. We discussed how we would best fuse together and the results I feel are terrific ! She is the perfect package for what she dose....her looks, her technical ability, her keen eyes for light and visuals....then there's her inner pose that always shine threw. I found her very helpful and perfect to work with and we had some nice little chats too .....oh and of course tea ! Thank you sooooo much Holly even through I was nervous for a week before hand, I really enjoyed it and wont forget it !!! Xxx

I am loosing count on the shoots I have had with Ivory Flame, this was a totally different shoot in many ways as it was more out worldly to our normal floaty and sheer styles, The results were dramatic to say the least and the 4 hours just shot by in so much as we did not get through all sets we had discussed. Thanks again and look forward to the next time Regards Andy

I think this is my 7th or 8th shoot with Ivory Flame who is just one of top notch models I have had the pleasure to work with over the last few years. We shot at Creating The Studio on a studio day that Ivory had set up, it was her first time at the studio and my 3rd visit. We came up e with a lot of amazing images which I can't wait to show.

Ivory is most definitely highly recommend by me and for been a real trooper in a not to warmish studio in January. Can't wait for our next shoot.

I had the absolute pleasure of working again with the lovely Ivory Flame at an event she organised with the lovely Artemis Fauna hosted at the amazing tankspace studio in Ollerton. The event itself was so very well organised and coordinated with great pre comms and lots of helpful expert information given prior to the event to reduce nerves and maximise everyone’s experience. On the day Holly and the others were on hand offering advice and support if needed and taking onboard any suggestions or requests made by the group. The size of the group, pace of each set and the choice of outfits was perfect.

Holly is genuinely such a lovely chilled and easy going person with so much talent, creativeness, and passion about her craft. Throughout the event Holly was full of positive energy putting 110% effort into every shot, Holly not only poses uniquely and effortlessly in the water, but she has an amazing eye for the fine details ensuring she brings any concept to life with an amazing Wow factor.

Honestly if you are lucky enough to work with this fantastic young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Totally recommended.

Thanks for your hard work and patience and a great creative session, Im looking forward to working with you again very soon :)
