What a joy to work with Holly for a second time! Her thoughtful focus on the details of pose and expression turn good shots into great shots. There are a lot of great art nude models that are fantastic at portraying emotion but the depth of feeling that Holly conveys is special.

Holly truly cares about the art and is a great collaborator who is not afraid to share her perspective and opinion.

Looking forward to working again in May!

Had my first highly anticipated shoot yesterday with Ivory Flame at Big Shot Studio. It caused me two problems: first, I was reduced to monosyllables mainly "Wow" when I viewed the images on my camera's screen and second, my normally brutal post-shoot image selection job is impossible because there are so many amazing images from the session. I can't use enough superlatives to describe what it's like to work with her. She is very cooperative and participatory in an extremely knowledgeable way about the photographic process. Her costume suggestions were perfect for what I was aiming to capture, and she gave great suggestions following a review on the camera screen. And she possesses incredible grace in posing and possesses a unique, pre-Raphaelite beauty. If you have a chance to shoot her, take it.

I finally plucked-up the courage to book a shoot with the lovley Ms Flame. "Courage" in the sense of booking someone so good when I am less than that. She was friendly, supplied some good ideas for the shoot, had a room full of costumes and was lovely company for our three hours. Pose after pose flowed but Holly was also open to my ideas when they struck. Would very happily shoot with her again.

I had an awesome remote session with Holly last week, and was again impressed with her skill at posing and emoting. We had a few related concepts to cover, and she hit the marks on all of them, as well as brought some new twists to the ideas that made the results even better.

Great to work with, and highly recommended!

I was extremely happy to take a day off work to shoot with Holly during her visit to Fareham studio - and wow! (actually it was Holly who said that the images we got were some of the best we'd gotten yet - this boy is extremely flattered!). We looked through Carole Lombard images - surely the Hollywood star to match Holly's beauty - and I'm delighted with the results just looking through the first set.

As all of her other references attest, Holly is simply the nicest person to boot and two hours just fly by leaving you wanting more.

100% recommended every time.

I have shot with Holly many times and every time she has been an excellent model. This shoot was no exception. She brought a wondeful choice of clothes with her which we mixed with some items I brought with me.

Always a pleasure to work with her. I look forward to the next time.

I had the absolute pleasure at long last of working with Holly yesterday at Fareham Studio. Holly is one of the models that I have wanted to shoot for a very long time but it never quite happened with Covid getting in the way of a booked shoot last year.

It was with some trepidation that I arrived for our three hour shoot as Holly is so well know within the modelling world. I had heard and read much feedback from others about how she is such a lovely person and a dream to work with and I have to say it is all so true.

Holly IS a dream to work with. She has a very disarming way of putting you at ease, something I was very grateful for. Professional, relaxed, chatty, fun, warm, very beautiful, always interested in your ideas and what you have taken. Easily moving from pose to pose, happy to try a different pose or position. Or simply suggesting what would work better. It always felt like a collaboration in a good way. We worked through several sets with the time passing far too quickly.

I had been looking forward to meeting Holly and I have to say I will look back on this with fond memories. I'm already looking forward to another shoot with her hopefully in the near future and I can't recommend her highly enough.

Thanks Holly.

Can I start by saying what an absolute pleasure it was to spend a couple of hours in the company of Holly. A consummate professional, who knows how to seduce the camera. She has so much experience and knows exactly what works for her and the photographer.

We communicated via PP before the shoot and Holly obliged by having the right dresses, fabrics and accessories with her. We agreed the type of shoot in advance, which is always worthwhile.

We had a glorious crisp and sunny November day - going on outside - which produced the most amazing natural light in the studio, for those images I wanted. A couple of the sets at Fareham Studio, are simply perfect for Holly's trademark renaissance look. She can turn a photograph into a classic oil painting with a gesture or a look.

Holly's skin is flawless, which makes post editing an absolute breeze.

However, overriding all of this, Holly is such a lovely person to spend time with. She's bright, intelligent, beautiful, easy to get on with and the camera loves her.

This shoot will linger long in the memory.

It goes without saying that you should work with her if you get the opportunity, but I have said it any way! Thank you Holly, you are right up there with the best...

This was my third shoot with Holly and my first face to face shoot as part of her studio day with Fareham studio. We shot a few sets in the studio including a creative session with fabric. Working with Holly is such a delight as she has the perfect look for fine art photography being able to produce wonderful, dreamy, and far away looks in the pictures. She puts her all in to getting the perfect picture taking feedback from the camera back and modifying a pose or a look. Holly is a true professional and lovely to work with being full of ideas and caring that the pictures come alive with emotion. The time just flew by, and I really look forward to future shoots with Holly.

I can recommend Holly to all photographers. Thank you for a great shoot.

What can I say that hasn't been covered in the 750+ references below this one? I've had the pleasure of working with Ivory twice previously - once in person and then remotely - so this was our third shoot. I booked a day at Fareham Studio but did a terrible job of suggesting ideas or styling beforehand! Despite this, Ivory arrived with cases overflowing with exquisite fabrics, jewellery and accessories; all carefully selected based on our previous work and the studio sets. We shot a variety of sets and she worked tirelessly, flowing from one flawless pose to another. She has a peerless grasp on light, composition and colour, which undoubtedly helped me achieve the beautiful results I did. She is charming, vibrant and warm - a consummate professional and someone every photographer should shoot at least once!

Just had a shoot with the extraordinary Ivory Flame on her studio day at Big Shot Studio. And what an experience! She is such a lovely, friendly and chatty person and a total delight in every way.

Aside from being a classical model non pareil, she is also extremely knowledgeable about photography from the other side of the lens and was wonderfully kind and helpful with advice and suggestions to improve the images. She takes a keen interest in BOC results and makes the utmost care to obtain the very best shots.

I have been admiring her images for a long time, but actually to see her in action and producing the most extraordinary and beautiful poses before your eyes borders on the sublime. She makes it almost impossible to take a bad image of her. And we talked away throughout the session making it a most enjoyable and informative time.

And of course got some amazing images! But it was all far too short and I cannot wait for another opportunity to work with her again. A real artist in every sense.

Naturally, very highly recommended.

I had an excellent shoot with Ivory Flame today covering art nude themes in a private shoot at Big Shot studio. It goes without saying that Ivory’s experience, posing, professionalism, elegance, and beauty is simply World Class. Shooting with a model like Ivory is a rare experience. Her attention to detail is second to none and her knowledge of photography and lighting is exceptional. I found her to be really easy to work with and so well prepared. She shared great ideas and concepts throughout leading to some exceptional results.

Ivory ranks high among the top 5% of models I have worked with to date. She combines elegance, grace, and intelligence with world-class modelling skills. She gives true meaning to the words "artistic expression" by combining elegance, grace, and intelligence with world-class modelling skills. She requires little (If any) direction and is really intuitive. Her easy-going and flexible approach lead to a great shoot interspersed with lots of laughs.

Although, quietly spoken Ivory is an eloquent communicator with a wonderful eye for style and detail. She is easy-going, fun and builds rapport really quickly and most of all is extremely creative. On this basis, I have no hesitation in giving her my highest recommendation. Whether you are a first-time amateur or experienced professional photographer be sure to book Ivory Flame – you will be glad that you did for her endless versatility and expression.

Ivory, (Holley) thank you for a legendary shoot today, you’re a beautiful shining star - I look forward to working with you again in the near future 😊

Had the greatest pleasure with working with Holly today at Big Shot Studio. This was my first 1:1 with a model in a studio setting and Holly made me feel at ease from the start. She has a wonderful personality yet remaining truly professional. She brought a great selection of clothing and accessories for the shoot and we worked collaboratively on choosing the right outfit for each set. He posing ability is immense, from soft looks to imposing, which only added to the quality of the shoot. I was told she was one of the best fine art models in the business and from today's shoot I can only agree.

It was an absolute joy working with Holly and today opened up a number of ideas when I hope to, or rather will, work with her again.

It has been far too long since I have worked with this wonderful model, but in that time she has added another string to her bow. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Holly at Tankspace earlier today. She was awesome holding her breath & posing underwater, just a natural. I must make more of an effort to work with her again highly recommended.

Alan Mackenzie

Another amazing shoot with Holly, this time at Pipewell Hall with Artemis Fauna. It is always such a pleasure to shoot with Holly who has bags of energy, incredible talent, amazing ideas and is always there to help and make suggestions. As always highly recommended and thoroughly looking forward to many more shoots in the future. Thank you Holly.

This shoot was organised at very short notice even by my standards of only arranging things at a week or two notice. Ivory Flame contacted me as she was on my “People I’d like to work with” list, well three hours proved to me that she was definitely someone to “want to work with”. She was absolutely superb, great posing, great interaction, wonderful look. It is difficult to pick out the best thing about the shoot, the results were great and it was a thoroughly entertaining. I highly recommend her to anybody.

Thank you for a great shoot.

I was extremely fortunate to be able to shoot Ivory Flame amongst the autumnal setting of Fat Forest Studio. This lady had been recommended to me by several photographers for her unique style. I responded to her casting call and the pre-shoot communications were absolutely first class. I asked Ivory to bring a mix of clothing which represented her style and personality. We shot together for four hours and the time just seemed to fly by. Quietly spoken, but a great conversationalist, we chatted effortlessly throughout the shoot, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We reviewed the back of camera images together as we went along and she made suggestions for improvement, providing a real collaborative environment. In our four hours together we worked alternating both within the studio and outside in the grounds, because although it was a bright day, the temperatures remained in single figures throughout. Thank you for all your efforts to make this a highly memorable shoot. Very highly recommended.
