I've just had my third shoot with Josie and it was great. Our first shoot together was one of my earliest home shoots, the second was the following year. Josie had moved away for a number of years and when I saw she was back in Bath, I began to think about shoot ideas so we could work together again. As the first two were studio based it made sense to try a location shoot. I've wanted to do a walkabout shoot in the areas around Bristol Temple Meads station for a long time so this made perfect sense for the logistics too. Josie has always had a strong fashion sense so I left outfits up to her. On the day everything worked perfectly. We both arrived early, the spots we stopped at gave a good variety, with a mixture of modern architecture, industrial decay, and urban graffiti. The light was better than I expected from the forecast and Josie's outfit worked really well in all the locations. As we completed the sites we intended to shoot the heavens opened. I'd forgotten how jolly Josie is and really enjoyed the walk and the catching up. Thanks for another great shoot. :)

Had a great shoot with Josie recently. Absolutely fab to work with, and professional. I really enjoyed shooting a few locations and highly recommend to photographers. Look forward to the next time!

Had a great shoot with Josie, doing some colorful alternative fashion in the Bristol town center.

Josie is friendly, flexible and creative. I would love to shoot with her again.

They say that there are only 3 things that are guaranteed in this life: Birth, Death and Taxes; there is actually a forth 'thing' and that is a productive and wonderful shoot with the outstanding natural talent that is Josie Mae.

This was our third shoot together and I really cannot praise her enough. Her work ethic is exceptional, her talent knows no bounds, she gives each shoot her all and on top of all that she is always polite and wonderful company.

Thank you very much Josie Mae for today. I wish you every success in Uni, and I sincerely hope that it is not too long before we are able to shoot together again.

As always, recommended to all photographers out there.

Had a great shoot with Josie earlier this week. Before the shoot her communications were great. She chose her own wardrobe and make up and they complimented each other very well.

She was a pleasure to work with, great company. Full of energy and ideas. Poses very naturally and I feel like we got some great shots. Would defiantly recommended and would love to work with her again the future.

While I was visiting Bath, Josie was kind enough to meet with me at short notice to arrange a shoot after being let down by another model. I really appreciated her getting back to me so quickly, and we were able to easily set a time and theme for the shoot. Of course as you can see from her photos, Josie is beautiful and very photogenic, and she is an absolute pleasure to work with! As a photographer, it's lovely when a model has ideas for posing and seems genuinely interested and excited for the photos – and I felt as though we were able to really collaborate and get the best possible images. She has been extremely patient with me, which I greatly appreciate, and I am so happy with the images we've taken together. Thank you Josie, and I hope to work with again one day.

Earlier today, I had the enormous pleasure and great privilege of my second shoot with the amazing natural talent that is Josie Mae. Although she'd arrived early and ready to shoot (and looking absolutely fantastic in her outfit) at our location we were, unfortunately, unable to use it - being told right at the last minute.

However, she quickly suggested another location and we headed there to work. Flowing from stunning pose to stunning pose in the wonderful outfit that she had created, Josie Mae is a true natural at this and I cannot praise her enough.We even had time for a few "fun" shots in between the formal ones. Again, like last time, the only downside to the shoot was that it had to end. Professional, incredibly hard-working, polite, friendly and extremely good company, I cannot wait to work with her again.

To all photographers out there - book this young lady. You will not be sorry.

I did my first shoot with Josie Mae and Joe last Sunday.

She is brilliant to work with, the pre-shoot talk was easy and straight, she had a clear idea of what to do. She arrived on time.

The shoot went really well, I couldn't get their names right, :) and we laughed a lot because of it. We managed to do amazing photos.

We should do another shoot soon.

Many thanks for your time.

Just got back to my hotel after a shoot with Josie Mae today in sunny but windy Bath. It was a great shoot we had planned things out and met up at a local coffee shop and talked our plans out, then off we went. Weather was good and smiled on us, strong sunshine but the wind was a little biting. We got on well together and I really enjoyed shooting with her for the time we had planned. The result were really good as I had ideas in my head on what we could create if weather permitted and it did us proud. My thanks to Josie for being a great model, she was punctual, fun to work with and took direction well for the shoot, hope to come down again sometime in the future and work with her again.

I had the pleasure of a second collaborative shoot with Josie Mae last week. Josie works in front and behind the camera so has a strong aesthetic sense and plenty of creative ideas, so a shoot where we could both bring different elements together produced results that neither of us were likely to achieve alone or with others. Josie has a easy ability with dramatic poses and needed no prompting to produce a stream of interesting poses that had grace and poise without looking artificial or forced. Josie is polite and friendly and takes has a professional attitude to the shoot. What more could anyone ask for? Definitely recommended.

Really enjoyed a shoot today with Josie Mae. She arrived early, is very friendly, easy to talk to, professional and is a natural in front of the camera. The shoot was very relaxed and got some amazing photos! Pre shoot comms were perfect, quick and easily organised.

Josie is confident posing in front of the camera and has good ideas. I highly recommend working with her as I've never felt so comfortable doing a shoot :)

Had a truly wonderful shoot with Josie Mae earlier today. Pre shoot comms were spot on so we knew what to expect from the shoot. Josie arrived early and ready to shoot at our agreed meeting place and once the introductions were over, it was off to work.

I found her very easy to get along with, and Josie knew of many great locations all within a few minutes walk of where we started and she just flowed from stunning pose to stunning pose, taking what little direction was given very well. She was totally committed to the shoot and gave her all throughout. All too soon, the shoot was over and we finished up with a last few shots over a cup of tea.

Josie Mae is polite, professional, extremely hard working, intelligent, thoroughly good company and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thank you very, very much indeed for today's shoot Josie. I look forward to working with you again at the earliest opportunity.

Josie was just brilliant on our shoot around Bristol harbour. I can highly recommend her. She arrived on time with various changes of clothes.

She takes direction with no issue and is also confident in posing herself. She's very friendly and got on well with everyone and was game for any location - no matter how far she had to walk in heels!

She also has the most striking blue eyes i've ever seen.

I would definitely work with Josie again.

FilmShots

I can highly recommend working with Josie.

She arrived on time and was very professional and friendly through-out the day. During the shoot, Josie takes direction easily but also works well without direction and is comfortable putting her own ideas forward. She certainly has confidence in front of the camera.

Had a great shoot with Josie Mar. Very professional and I can throughly receommend her.

I've just had a brilliant session with Josie Mae. From start to finish she has been a pro. I had been impressed with the breadth and variety of her profile. Arranging the shoot was a breeze with only a few email exchanges. She was on time, early actually, and had a great selection of outfits. But most important of all she really delivers in front of the camera. She happily cycled through poses, but was quick to take up suggestions and pushed things in the direction we had discussed at the start of the shoot. Out of nearly a thousand shots there were only 40 duds and many of those were my fault not hers. Book her now before she is famous.

Had a fabulous shoot with Josie Mae at Shutter and flash studios

great pre communications and arrived ready to go despite the cold and Bristols Traffic.

a really great model and we had fun with outfits and shoot for stock pictures.

Josie is very nice and a joy to work with, has suggestions and works well with little or no direction

I LOVED shooting with Josie. She was such an amazingly quirky model with a personality to boot. She brought a great assortment of outfits and we tried a bunch of different ideas and came out with some really terrific images. What was originally supposed to be a 4hr shoot quickly turned into 6hrs and culminated in a lovely chat over a well-deserved Indian dinner :) I can't speak highly enough of Josie and I really hope I get the chance to work with her again! xx

Tasnim MUA

Had a great bridal shoot from my home studio with Josie. Great pre-shoot comms and worked hard to get a good set of images. She takes direction well, even when I'm not 100% sure of how to explain the hots I want, she gets it.

Julia Shiva

Josie got in touch with me for a collaboration and I had the pleasure to shoot with Josie today, the theme was Film Noir. What a lovely lady :) ! Very friendly, easy going, patient and takes directions very well. She also made some suggestions during the shoot.

She was on time and came well prepared with vintage clothes and props.

Her communication pre-shoot was flawless. I can highly recommend Josie :)

Thanks a lot Josie for a fabulous time and see you again no doubt :) x x
