My first shoot with Jade on remote shoot.

Jade was extremely prepared and was such a lovely person to work with and she has lots of ideas too. It was great to play around with concepts together. The images captured look amazing and I can't wait to start editing them.

It was fun and while technology didn't always want to play ball, we just went with the flow and time disappeared too quickly.

I look forward to getting the chance to work with Jade again (hopefully in person) but at the very least remotely :)

Did you know Jade is almost 30? I was like OMG how during our shoot! I know I should have paid closer attention but gosh she easily looks 23/24, dam those good genes! I just had to point that out as it literally blew my mind!

So I shot with Jade in October 2020, I actually also shot with her in January as my first shoot of 2020 and clearly, I was thoroughly impressed. Obviously, her references speak for herself but having shot her twice so far, originally in 2019 I have to say I think right now she is spectacular!

Pre-comms were excellent, I actually purchased a voucher for her via her website during the covid 1.0 lockdown and happened to have some studio time at Saracen House to use. I wanted to do a very laid back style shoot, focusing on natural light esk images but incorporating ambient light.

When she arrived at the studio she had her outfits all organised, which I love and she had so many options! I’ve mentioned this before but I like to shoot lots of outfits, I generally know what I like and don’t like so always prefer to have options than to be limited and she had lots of options.

I really enjoy shooting with models like Jade as I know I can focus on being creative or maybe experiment a bit more with lights or props and know she can nail being the model and not require any instructions, knowing how to read the light, knowing how to pose and keep her poses within the frame I’m shooting.

Jade is really polite, easy to talk to, and being a photographer herself you have a lot of common interests. She’s also a bit quirky, in the studio I found a couple of random props like a disco light and a giant teddy and she rose to challenge or trying to work that into an idea. She’s also super bubbly, positive and just an awesome person, I guess she gets that from her partner.

Would I recommend Jade? Hell yes. She’s professional, works hard, has a great smile and a terrific figure. Having shot her last year and then again this year I definitely think her posing this year is just epic, I’m obviously pretty critical as an individual but she definitely seems much more confident than when I last shot her so well done you!

A group shoot outside with social distancing in a garden estate. Jade brought along some really colourful outfits that really matched the early autumnal colours. The shoot was all afternoon and interrupted with frequent showers, but Jade was professional as ever, remained enthusiastic throughout the shoot with great poses and even newcomers found her very easy to work with. Highly recommended to others.

Just did my first shoot in almost 8 months with the lovely Jade, also the first time I’ve shot with her. Communications were excellent and we exchanged some Pinterest posts to coordinate ideas for the sets. Jade showed up with a massive selection of outfits, way beyond expectations. We did a 6 hour shoot and it was clear that Jade is very professional, has a great fun personality and is a wonderful model. We managed to get through a wide range of sets during the shoot. Jade is on my recommendation list. Will definitely work with her again. :-)

Where do I start with Jade? She's a complete delight to work with. Full of ideas and happy to pose without any direction as well as willing to go along with the mad ideas I had as well. The whole shoot was a joy to work with her as we explored various parts of Devon across the day.

She came completely prepared with various outfits, shoes, makeup, the list goes on. Always smiling and cheerful. Definitely comes across as someone who enjoys a challenge as we shot a large range of outfits across a number of locations

Honestly couldn't recommend her enough and would love to work with her again in the future.

Jade is a lovely model. Not a very challenging shoot for commercial hoodies but Jade was very professional especially as the client was present at the shoot.

The shoot was very short notice and Jade stepped up to the mark and was on time given the circumstances.

Would not hesitate to recommend Jade

This was the first time that I have worked with Jade and everything from the first communication through to the shoot itself was great. We put together a mood board on Pinterest (very helpful that she had outfits board on their so that I could see and request particular outfits and know what would suit which idea on the shoot).

As well as those I'd picked she also brought a range of other outfits and was a joy to shoot with, not only able to pose without direction but also to be able to contribute and add to the ideas on the shoot through her experience of knowing what could enhance the shots further.

I highly recommend Jade and am looking forward to getting some time to edit the shots. Thanks again Jade

Jade kindly agreed to come into the studio for a retro style shoot that was intended to highlight some of the possibilities available at Prodel Photographic.

Jade was very helpful during the pre-shoot communications and brought everything required for the 4-hour shoot we had discussed, and worked fabulously with our MUA, EA makeup Artistry

As it happened, due to a a bunch of unforeseen circumstances, I was far less prepared than usual and we had to "wing it" a bit with just an outline plan. The great thing about working with professionals like Jade though, is she "winged it" in style!

From first meeting on the day of the shoot, Jade was friendly, 100% professional, patient and constructive throughout, and great fun to work with.

Overall, I was delighted with the results and I cannot recommend Jade highly enough, regardless of whether the shoot is for portfolio, promotional or any commercial purpose!

Thank you so much, Jade! I hope there is another opportunity for you to visit the studio again soon.

Had a really nice outside location shoot with Jade who is very professional and friendly it was really enjoyable to shoot with her as she knew what was required and posed effortlessly.

+ Great early communication on the phone and email.

+ Turned up slightly early which was appreciated.

+ Posed brilliantly and effortlessly once I explained what I required.

+ Was always smiling and helpful offering ideas that added value to the shoot.

+ most importantly she was very patient as it was required for the shoot.

You should book Jade I get the impression she enjoys challenges concerning shooting. You should book her if you a pro or a amateur she adds so much value to whatever you shoot. Until the next shoot.

She's lovely, easy to work with and a nice lady with beautiful personality.

...I came across Jade before (and even photographed her once or twice at some events), but this time decided to invite her to my studio and we had some fun! She's definitely a professional photo model: once I booked her she showed her wardrobe via Pinterest and I picked a few outfits (she brought more, just in case - so we had plenty of choice). I didn't stress out about how to pose Jade: she knows her style but also easily followed my ideas. We only had a couple of hours but managed to get a nice large photo-collection with quite a few wardrobe changes.

Wishing Jade all the best and hoping to work with her again one day :-) El.

Jade is someone I've only previously managed to chat with at social events and been meaning to shoot with for ages. I finally got around to fitting something in whilst she was down at Neon Dreams for a themed studio day which I liked the sound of.

Jade is really easy to get on with and was very patient as I worked out the outfit styling and then took an age to play around with the light setup to get it into what I was thinking of.

She poses effortlessly on her own and worked with my input as well as crazy ideas like wandering outside to see what we could do out there or using my Lensbaby lenses.

2 hours was nowhere near long enough as time just flys especially when you're trying to get things right

Neon Dreams Studio

Jade was an absolute star for our first post lockdown model day! She suggested a theme which worked beautifully and brought sooo many clothes and props with her! We sold the day out in no time and I even took some photos of her in the new retro 1969 set which she suits perfectly! She was polite and enthusiastic throughout the whole day and I look forward to her return :) highly recommended.

I'm just buzzing from a tremendous remote shoot with Jade! We've shot several times in the studio before, but this was our first tethered remote shoot - and it went brilliantly.

As usual Jade's comms pre-shoot are spot on, detailed, and with a quick turnabout. We shared a pinterest board previous and achieved many of those ideas as well as some improvised changes - which are always the most fun part of any shoot.

I honestly think this was my best shoot with Jade so far!

100% happily and heartily recommended.

Not 100% sure how many times Jade and I have shot now, but each time is great. As well as being stunningly beautiful and photogenic she's the nicest, funniest, sweetest person too. What more could any imagist want?

As always, very happily and heartily recommended.

I had a great first shoot with Jade at the Neon Dream studio yesterday. She is a very experienced professional model. When I arrived she was ready to shoot. Jade had lots of great ideas, could pose effortlessly.

I am very pleased with the results and looking forward to work with her again!

We had an excellent outdoor shoot with Jade yesterday. Four togs and a lovely, talented and engaging model had a fun morning which produced some fabulous images in changeable weather. Jade brought more than enough changes of outfit to suit all conditions and was very relaxed from the start. She was always ready to react positively to our ideas with posing and location changes.

Jade was a joy to work with and I look forward to working with her again and so I heartily recommend her to the community. Thanks Jade!

What a lovely lady. With the restrictions on indoor shoots, Jade came along to an outdoor location in Milton Keynes, with lots of costume changes, a real can-do attitude and a great sense of humour. Working outdoors in changeable, showery weather could have been difficult, but Jade has a really professional approach and we achieved everything we hoped for from the shoot. The four of us finished the session with a load of great shots.

Last week with three colleagues I had a shoot with Jade and it went off extremely well. Jade was a delight to get on with. We were smiling and laughing our way through a variety of settings and kit changes. Jade was so capable, delightful, helpful and a joy to work with and the results are incredibly good. I look forward to our next opportunity to work with Jade.

My first shoot since the covid lockdown, and Jade made everything easy, trouble-free and relaxed - as usual. I love how she combines her impressive experience and professionalism with sheer fun and joyfulness.

Jade chose our locations in the Northamptonshire countryside, it rained at the beginning and stayed cloudy, but Jade was prepared for everything. No problem dealing with rain, no problem changing outfits, no problem with anything!

A really lovely person, a consummate professional. Highly recommended.
