My third shoot with JJ as model was shared with a female colleague. JJ was absolutely first class again and it was interesting to see how we photographers differed in our approach to taking photographs of JJ. Can't recommend JJ highly enough.

My second shoot with JJ and it was even better than the first. JJ is so easy to work with and has such a professional attitude - she's just great. We intend doing some more shoots later in the year.

This was my first one to one with JJ. We'd exchanged messages beforehand so we had a rough idea of what I wanted and she made some outfit suggestions too and that was great. She turned up bang on time and beautifully dressed in the first of her four outfits for the shoot. The only make-up she needed to apply was to the eyes and asked for my preference of colours etc. We started photographing and the shoot went along smoothly with JJ only needing the minimal of direction. The two hours flew by and I was delighted with the images I got. JJ is very professional and a joy to work with.

When the booked model for an all day and evening workshop cancelled due to ill health, JJ responded quickly and enthusiastically to my emergency casting.

JJ turned up promptly and loaded with outfits. Her make up was perfect and no matter what the workshop participants threw at her she embraced the challenges requiring little / no direction

By the end of 2 daytime and 1 evening workshop JJ was still up for more. She has a wonderful "look" and a great bone structure to carry of portraits and/or fashion and I REALLY look forward to the next time :)

JJ rescued Martyn_Image Wales and me when we had a very last minute cancellation. We had three workshops planned. One morning, one afternoon and one in the evening on the same day. JJ stepped in and saved the day. She is a stunning looking model whose folio does not do her justice. She was easy to work with, good humoured and fell in with our madness with a will.

She is an accomplished model who made several difficulties (that were NOT her fault) much easier to overcome. Highly reccomended and we will certainly try and work with her again .

Had my 3rd shoot with JJ. As always she arrived on time and ready to shoot. JJ poses very naturally and is very elegant being tall, slim with a long neck and a beautiful face. She is very easy to work with and takes direction very well. I was able to complete the sequence of shots I wanted in very quick time. I am hoping to work with her again later this year and have no hesitation in recommending her.

I have just completed my second shoot with Jainaba and what a joy it was. She arrived on time and ready to shoot. Jainaba is without doubt one of the easiest models I have ever worked with. She poses well, responds perfectly to direction and is so relaxed in front of the camera. That combination alone would make her a good model but when you add the fact that she is stunningly beautiful, tall, slim and elegant and you have the perfect model. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and will certainly book Jainaba again. I have no reservation in recommending her.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Had my first shoot with JJ today and I was totally blown away by her. She is stunningly beautiful but that's only half of it as she instinctively knows how to pose, takes direction well and is very polite and charming. She did her own makeup and brought a very good range of outfits. JJ has a very expressive face and is very elegant.

I really enjoyed working with her and I will certainly book her again in the future. If you want some really beautiful images then give yourself a treat and book JJ, you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend her.

I have waited over a year to get the right opportunity to shoot with JJ and today was that day along with Makeup to Allure (Sara Swindon on this site) as MUA

JJ is just amazing to work with. With outstanding looks, a great sense of style and poses galore the time just flew by with 4 changes of outfit. JJ came fully prepared with lots of choice and her comms were great. With any luck I shall get to work with her another day.

Highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with Jainaba (JJ) today as part of a group, and I was certainly not disappointed.

JJ has a very striking look which really made the images stand out. She brought a fabulous range of clothing and jewellery, and her hair and makeup was done by her to a very high standard. She poses very well and is happy to take direction. She just 'gets it'!

I look forward to working with JJ again, and have some ideas for future shoots.

Highly recommended.

Thanks for a fantastic day JJ! :-)

We hired JJ for our creative group, easy to get on with and very professional.

We wanted to try out different styles and JJ brought plenty of different outfits for us to choose from.

The shoot lasted well over half a day but the time just flew.

Would recommend JJ without question.

I had my first shoot with Jainaba, and it will most certainly not be our last. She was very well prepared, brought along a whole host of wonderful outfits for the style of shots. Her communications was excellent.

She turned up all smiles laughing and with a sense of humour which came through all the way through the shoot.

There were several looks that I wanted to capture with Jainaba and she immediately understood each of them quickly. It was a busy afternoon and time went too fast.

I would absolutely recommend Jainaba to work with, easy going and a great laugh. Jainaba is confident, great at modelling, is a lot of fun to work with and is an instantly likeable person.

I highly recommend Jainaba and I hope to work with her again in the future.

First shoot with Jainaba. Thoroughly enjoyed and would work with her again.

She brought a good range of cloths and some wigs with her. JJ is easy to work with and follows directions well. Her experience in doing fashion modelling shows trough and has a great range of poses.

I had a few new ideas I wanted to work on and JJ caught on very quick to the idea and posed accordingly.

A pleasure to work with and will work with JJ again.

I put out a casting call last week. I had the tremendous good fortune to have Jainaba answer it. Her pre- shoot communication is one of the best I have ever known. Every email every text and phone call was answered. I know exactly where I stood at all times. So when we met it like meeting an old friend. JJ arrived with Tony at the time arranged. She was ready for the shoot from the word go and boy did we have a shoot.

To say JJ put a 100% in to the shoot is unfair. JJ put her heart and sole into it. Nothing was to much trouble for her she would try anything. JJ has this gift that she can tweak a shot in to a great shot. Just by the drop of an eye or the turn of here head.

JJ is an asset to any shoot a Photographers dream. That said I also found her to be one of the nicest and friendliest person you could want to meet. She also has a wicket sense of humour. Get JJ laughing and the world is your Oyster. JJ please come back soon and next time bring your Bus. Very Highly Recommended. 10/10 for JJ……

JJ & I had a shoot today on a typically rainy welsh summers day ! The weather did not damped our spirits too much and we had a very productive and worthwhile shoot at a public gardens whilst trying our best to remain dry. We used the cover of various trees and a well positioned summer house with great effect to provide the backdrop to some very atmospheric images.

As is evident from her portfolio, JJ is a beautiful Young Model and has a quiet and confident disposition. The 4 hour shoot positively flew by and I could easily have shot for another few hours had the weather relented.

JJ is very tall and has the ideal figure for fashion and would be a great model for a variety of catwalk, studio and location photography projects. Thanks JJ, it was a pleasure to meet you.

I had a nice relaxed shoot with JJ today,which was a credit to her as she had to dash to London directly after the shoot, which she did not rush at all, she was accompanied by Anthony. JJ was a joy to work with, open to ideas and can also add her own input. She came with a good selection of outfits and her makeup was both flawless and subtle, her preshoot comms were second to none. Thankyou JJ, and thankyou to Anthony too, for bringing her to the shoot and ferrying her wardrobe and bags. Totally recommended, hope to do it again.

PS Good luck with your rehearsels in London :)

I had the pleasure of collaborating with Jainaba recently for the first time on a theatrical fashion shoot and what an amazing shoot we had. Jainaba is a model with an amazingly unique appearance and everything about her is imposing and impressive. She was punctual unruffled and her anazingly warm personality made it easy to direct her into the styles I required. Jainaba took direction really well and was attentive and friendly throughout the shoot. I tend to push my models hard, but Jainaba moved through each style transition with ease and great enthusiasm with no sign of tiring. A fabulous black model who displayed a very professional approach to her modelling despite her limited experience to date. She as amazing presence and such an endearing manner. The results she delivered were first class and I can highly recommend her to any photographer wanting a truly impressive model. Jainaba was a dream model
