Jade and myself organised a very impromptu shoot last Friday as Jade was free and I was acting like an excited 6 year old over some new gear I wanted to play with. She valiantly braved the cold and me talking nonstop for a solid few hours, which is very admirable! We shot 3 or 4 sets outside, retiring for hot drinks and more of me talking at various intervals. On very limited coms (my fault) Jade still brought a great variety of clothes and totally got the looks I was after! Great poser, very professional, but unfortunately extremely easy to make laugh! All it took was some cross dressing and penguin themed mittens, but thats a story for another day.

Punctual, professional, personable and phun.

Thanks very much :)

I recently had a great shoot with Jade, who managed to bring a huge assortment of clothes, matching my mood board, despite having to organise everything very last minute due to a cancellation. She arrived early and we got some great shots, working mainly with some complex lighting and gels, she was very patient whilst the images were composed and also worked well on some more conventional fashion shots. She is a pleasure to work with, highly recommended and I hope to work with her again soon.

Extremely professional model.

Jade was very helpful in choosing the location for the shoot and arrived punctually so we caught the light. She was a pleasure to work with, posing well. I am very happy with the photographs that I took.

Jade is by far one of the best models iv worked with

I attended the excellent "Narrative and Lighting essentials workshop" run by Raj Khepar and Jade earlier this week. Both Raj and Jade have a relaxed, informal teaching style that really helps to get across some of the more complex theories surrounding this topic.

As Jade spends her time divided between being on both sides of the lens, she helpfully passed on some useful tips with regard to directing models, from both a photographers point of view and that of the model.

As I am a newcomer to model photography, Jade took this into consideration and gently guided and coached me into making some model directions and scene suggestions, whilst remaining patient throughout :-)

It was an excellent day, and would thoroughly recommend working with Jade

I worked with Jade yesterday when she modelled for the "Narrative Lighting" workshop organised by Raj Khepar.

Jade remained patient, cheerful and friendly throughout the day. When the workshop covered lighting setups and modifiers she offered helpful observations from a model's perspective. When we moved on to creating narratives she responded willingly to directions given by the participants. Each swift change of outfit helped to set a different mood for the various scenes that we worked on, and Jade contributed to a very enjoyable workshop.

Highly recommended.

Well today was an excellent shoot with Jade. Despite the disgusting weather outside, Jade opened up her home for the shoot, and it was packed with loads of options and trinkets!

We shot several sets over three hours, and at no point did Jade's enthusiasm and energy drop for one second. Working with Jade is always a pleasure as she is open to try most of my stupid ideas. She's an incredibly natural model, with beauty, poise and elegance in abundance.

We bagged a good set of images, so keep an eye out for them to be put up soon.

As ever HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Traveled to Brighton to do a shoot with Jade, so happy that I did, on time and happy to suggest ideas before and during the shoots, not knowing Brighton to well she showed me around and found perfect locations for a number of outfits from alternative to 'girly' great to chat to and to work with, was able to also shoot some Cinemagraphs which i prey will come out, amazing model, knows just how to pose and have some great photos, hope to work with her in the future again sometime!! Would def recommend her.

When I booked a day at the Studland Bay House event I wanted to create a number of completely different styles and Jade was the first model I thought of, I'm so pleased she agreed to join me for the day. Leading up to the shoot Jade contributed to the plan, suggesting a range of outfits from her vast wardrobe to match the various looks. During the day she worked non-stop, moving from coy and angelic, dark and dangerous, sophisticated, coldly aloof, manically mad crazy and finally a sexy vamp, contributing throughout with ideas and suggestions. I'm really really pleased with the results and thanks to Jade’s patience and understanding of I what I was trying to do, even some of the experimental sets worked :)

I you want to work a truly versatile fashion model then look no further than Jade, recommended a gazillion %

Hugh Davis

I attended a Lighting Workshop organised by both Jade and Raj Khepar. Jade was an absolute pleasure to work with, her posing was natural and very intuitive. Her knowledge of both modelling and photography were of great benefit to the workshop and helped greatly across the day.

I would throughly recommend Jade and would very much like to work with her again in the future.

Worked with Jade at Raj Khepar Photography's workshop. Jade is a stunning young model that is very confident, takes direction very well but is also experienced at intuitively changing her pose to accurately reflect the scene. Jade is also a very cable photographer and her knowledge of the subject is a very unique benefit to any photographer or commercial client looking to hire her. Will hope to work with her again in the future. Edward

I fly to London a lot for work. I normally arrive and head to the city. This time, I saw Jade's profile in advance and I headed south to Brighton for the first time. One of the best decisions I have ever made. I had a wonderful shoot with Jade. The communications with Jade before the shoot were super. She's a joy to work with. She really knows how to pose and the images look like they will be terrific. She's a great guide and brought me around the best spots in Brighton. I would throughly recommend Jade.

PS She can even control the weather ;)

I've had a great day today.

I had a simply fantastic shoot with Jade at Velvet Goldmine Studio in Brighton. Jade's diminutive size camouflages an abundance of energy, enthusiasm and just "wow" factor (that smile!) to make anyone a better photographer - certainly I was today!

From initial communications to exchanges of ideas right up to the day before, the shoot, and the images we got, I'm delighted and could not recommend more highly.

I certainly hope our photographic paths will cross again sooner rather than later.

Always enjoy working with Jade she is so creative and being an excellent photographer as well as a great model we have so much to talk about. We were blessed with a warm day, but very hard sunshine, however we still managed to pull of some great shots and considering it was just a general walk and shoot we did so well. Always recommend Jade, she is realistic and an super model , I am sure this is No 2 shoot of many more, glad I live within 30 mins of her.

I was fortunate to have a fabulous shoot with Jade yesterday. She was extremely professional in her communication prior to the shoot, arrived very punctually and was an absolute bundle of energy and fun.

She was able to respond to direction very quickly, but also brought lots of ideas as well. I would have no hesitation in recommending her :-)

I cast Jade for a studio training session I had arranged with another photographer for me to get an idea of some lighting set ups and post processing work. Jade was an excellent model for this and I would highly recommend her to any photographer.

Her pre-comms to the shoot was great and on the day she arrived before me even though she had a lot more distance to cover than me! She brought a great selection of outfits as we had discussed, her make up was great and she was a great model in front of the lens posing naturally and with great effect. She also put up with a few hours as we changed lighting set up and discussed how to improve the shots.

A great model to work with and highly recommended. Thanks.

I have great pleasure to work today with Jade.

She was very friendly and professional.

I highly recommended her for photoshots and I hope work with her again soon.

Jamila

I shot with this lovely lady on bank holiday Monday and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Jade is incredibly fun to shoot, brought a wide selection of outfits to suit the the styles that we discussed, and took very minimal direction.

Jade also has fantastic taste in music and is a great conversationalist, very professional with beautiful bone structure for head shots.

Thank you for an enjoyable shoot. Highly recommended.

Simon Keane

I had the privilege of working with Jade for my first ever photoshoot. The shoot was easy to arrange and communication was great.

Jade was an absolute joy to work with. She was very welcoming, with a fun and easy going personality. With both outfit choices she had a great look and was capable of pulling off a wide variety of poses.

I would absolutely recommend Jade to anyone looking for a model, and will defintiely be looking to work with her again in the near future!

Credenza

It was a real pleasure working with Jade, she was relaxed, friendly and professional and worked hard throughout the shoot. Her experience (on both sides of the camera) is a great asset and she was able to adapt effortlessly from one location to another. We shot outside in a park and on the beach, she wasn't bothered at all by the large number of people around, and she never complained about the blustery and sometimes rather cold conditions. She has lovely clothes that complement her immaculate complexion and she poses with great style and elegance.

Jade is a fabulous model and I'm very happy to recommend her to everyone.

Andrew Smith

Jade was great to work with today. I couldn't make my mind up about the location. Jade was completely unfazed, and suggested a different one. And it was brilliant. With plenty of variety. Jade made the whole shoot relaxed and stress free.

I would totally recommend her.
