Jade was working with us and Trevor Ager at Brightpix. Her 'groom' for the day was Thomas and they had never met before. Jade and Thomas were at ease pretty much from the 'get go' which really helped. Jade has a lovely cheery personality and is enthused by all that she does, she took care of her own hair and make-up and throws some great shapes. We'd recommend Jade without hesitation.

I had a second shoot with Jade yesterday. If anyone out there has ever had a bad experience with a model, then you should go and book Jade straight away.

She is just the most easy person to get good images of. She has a range of poses that will set your heart on fire. She is witty and so easy to get along with. Quite honestly, I could ramble on about how good the experience of shooting with her was. But I would just be repeating what has already been said about her.

She really is that good.

Jade and I did a night walk around the lanes in Brighton. As ever Jade was the best of Models and a true Muse. Although the grunts and groans when trying to get into her too skinny jeans may have indicated a little too much indulgence over the Christmas period :)

Seriously though Jade is a true beauty and with her photography experience behind her, there is always great input to a shoot.

We (she) even blagged out way into the Dirty Blonde bar for some images, which produced a great set.

If you get the chance do shoot with Jade, you won't regret it for one instant....

This was my second shoot with Jade during a Speedlite Workshop in conjunction with Raj Khepar.

Jade was once again very enthusiastic and professional and her contribution to the workshop is second to none. She is always on hand with advice regarding working with models, posing tips and also photography.

We shot both indoors and outside and despite the cold winds and grey skies she gave everything that was asked of her with a smile and enthusiasm.

Jade was once again a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend her highly enough

I had a very successful speedlite lesson with Jade and Raj. I learnt a lot and would happily do another.

Jade is a super model, absolutely gorgeous, willing and responsive to the camera. She had several changes of clothes and never complained even with the cold wind howling around us.She is also a competent photographer so can give advice and help to those who need it. Raj Worked very hard guiding us through the technicalities of speedlites and advised us on setting up, dealing with light and shade etc.

Thanks guys, Great

I had the great pleasure of working with Jade today in a combination of indoor and outdoor sets.

Enthusiastic, professional, friendly and keen to give her very best, Jade is a natural model in every sense and I was very pleased with the images we made.

She never once complained about the cold sea wind she was subjected to later in the day and continued working hard right to the end of the shoot, after which we retired for hot drinks, well-earned in Jade's case.

Very highly recommended I look forward to working with her again.

Jade has been on my WTWW list for a long time and after today's shoot she will stay there (I often take people off once I've worked with them) because I could happily shoot with her again and again and again - if there aren't some cracking images from our indoor & out session today it will be entirely my fault for botching up the camera work because Jade's modelling was impeccable - she has a classic long-haired natural beauty look which, as her port shows, can be adapted for any manner of shoot...

Thanks Jade!

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.

EdwardThomasPhotography

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.
