Had a great first shoot with Izzy. She very kindly agreed to shoot my Women Dressed as Men project and we got some really cool images.

She is extremely photogenic and poses effortlessly which meant the shoot absolutely flew by.

Still going through the images but have already found multiple keepers and shots I'm really proud to add to my project collection.

Definitely recommended and hope we get to shoot again sometime soon.

Had my second shoot with Izzy last weekend.

Pre comms were excellent again, and we quickly settled on ideas for the day.

On the day Izzy arrived on time, and well prepared for the shoot. We managed about 6 different looks, and got some excellent shots we're both pleased with.

Izzy's a lot of fun to work with, and a fantastic model. We've already discussed a third shoot.

I apologise to Irina for the very late reference. We worked together at the start of January at Zavod Studios. The initial correspondence with Irina about collaborating started about 18 months

The pre-coms were excellent as was the suitcase full of amazing outfits, but the singe lasting memory from the shoot, is of a warm and genuine person.

It was a pleasure to have met and worked with you and I apologise for the late reference. Thank you for a lovely shoot.

Izzy contacted me, suggesting that we shoot together. One look at her portfolio told me that this was a good idea! Izzy was great at communication pre-shoot and we shared ideas easily. A plan came together and she arrived on time and ready to shoot.

It was so easy to work with Izzy, she's friendly and energetic and full of ideas. She knows how to pose but also takes direction well - and isn't afraid to try something a bit unusual or take a risk for a picture that might not work. She's very expressive with a gorgeous smile and a natural ease with which she moves from pose to pose.

I love the pictures we created and hope to work with Izzy again soon - highly recommended to anyone!

Had a great shoot with Izzy at the weekend.

Pre shoot comms were excellent, and often amusing.

We'd settled on a mood board of ideas prior to the shoot and Izzy turned up with a variety of outfits to use. Izzy is professional, friendly, creative, and fun to work with. We got some great shots that we're both happy with.

Highly recommend.

My second shoot with Izzy and we already have third on the books. Izzy is a whirlwind of great energy, superb ability and a down to earth person.

Izzy has a phenomenal talent for bringing to life emotions, stories and characters through expressive movement and positioning. She possesses a talent very few have and you can feel the passion Izzy has for modelling in every shot.

I highly recommend working with Izzy)

Alternative modelling done beautifully - I Izzy is such a professional creative, fun to be with, likes a laugh and then packs a punch for images. Love working with Izzy we do have a great laugh but hard work pays off also. Would I recommend Izzy? Hell yeah! We are arranging another shoot as we speak!

Izzy is an amazing model. So easy to work with. Very beautiful, creative, versatile and helpful. I would recommend Izzy to photographers of any level. She is exceptional in her style and will definitely add some fresh air to your portfolio. Looking forward to shoot with Izzy again.

Hannah Lunn

Easily one of the best models I have ever worked with. Pre-shoot communication is spot on and we get lots of ideas to share. Knows how to work it and she's just stunning. I would happily shoot her every day and know we'd always get something different! (Oh and she buys me pizza afterwards :D ) Highly recommend and can't wait until our next shoot!!

So cool getting to shoot with the amazing Izzy.

We agreed to meet up in Birmingham where we had already hatched serval plans on what to shoot including a weather contingency to mitigate against the high probability of rain. In fact on the drive there the heavens opened and I could hardly see in front of me on the motorway. Fortunately on arrival the rain stopped :-)

We started off shooting in a multi-story, Izzy wearing our contingency outfit a combo of droptop knickers a harness, see through rain mac and brolly (rain was not going to stop us). On top of the carpark amongst the puddles with the rain threatening Izzy look magnificent, crazy posing, wonderful shapes, bags of emotion and angst, an absolute dream.

We worked several other areas before changing outfits and heading into Birmingham. Izzy is such a versatile model, able to go from full on edgy (Nukem style) to a totally infectious email in seconds. we shot lots of different locations. Empty market stall, in the street, under a bridge and against the the bins and each Izzy was totally amazing. So versatile, driven, enthusiastic and generally a lot of fun to work with, we created so many fantastic images

Can't wait to work with Izzy again so no hesitation in highly recommending

Thank Izzy for such an awesome shoot :-)

My second shoot with Irina, this time in the beautiful and slightly spooky woods near where I live. The weather couldn't have been better and Irina's dramatic makeup and styling helped us create a very striking set based on a wild child and wood demon theme.

Irina clambered over and on fallen trees, braving mud, brambles and prickly branches to get the shots we wanted. Luckily the spiders stayed hidden!

The sets were a joy to shoot and it was great to work with Irina again. We get on very well and her natural, friendly and enthusiastic approach is always a delight. Thoroughly recommended as a lovely person and as an excellent model!

Dave Linford

Absolutely fabulous fun filled shoot with Izzy today.

Izzy is intuitive, creative and knows her modelling and we shot everything we wanted to and more today (even smoking fags to get the looks...when she doesn't smoke at all).

I hope to meet up with Izzy and have another shoot before too much longer! Wow so many images captured - I love her buzz cut and fab edgy attitude, I definitely would recommend Izzy for shoots wholeheartedly you will not be disappointed with your images...

Awesome model!

Had my first shoot with Irina and it was wonderful. Great communications and exchanges of ideas prior to the day and then powerful, fluid, dynamic posing from Irina to nail the mood and style we wanted to capture. 100% happy!

Irina has such beautiful, striking looks, great flexibility and a wonderful sense of style. She went the extra mile with props and settings and her attention to detail was fantastic. The time flew by and we had fun chatting as well.

Irina is a very easy person to work with: professional, friendly and focused. It was a pleasure to meet her and work with her... not forgetting the enthusiastic contribution from her wonderful dog Odin who has a future as a photographer's assistant!
