Another shoot with Joy, and it was as delightful as ever. We finally went outdoors this time, and Joy was not only a model, but a guide to the location as well.

I had previously scouted some of the area, but would never have learned to know the terrain really that well - also with the flora et al. She really does know the best spots for photography!

I can only say that I have enjoyed thoroughly spending an afternoon with her. Recommended full stop!

Joy is a very professional model. She has a lot of ideas of her own and does not necessarily need a lot of direction. Her wardrobe is very diverse and suitable to create many types of atmospheres. I will definitely be shooting with her again.

I had a great shoot with Joy. The nice thing about Joy is her ease as a model and her creativity. She is the kind of model with fits into a lot of sets, moods and scenario's. She is willing to work hard during the shoot and give her opinion if and when asked.

Thank you Joy.

The model I had booked for today had to rush home all of a sudden because of new Covid rules in her homeland, and obviously had to cancel. But I found a great replacement in Joy. Actually, we could arrange the shoot within 40 minutes and she was as great as ever. She truly lives up to her name! Thank you Joy, and I'm looking forward to our next one!

I wanted to work with Joy for quite some time so when she posted about some open slots for a remote shoot at Zoi Morgan's studio I didn't think twice. I couldn't be happier with the results of our shoot and I'm looking forward to working with her in July.

I have long admired the work of Joy Draiki and so when I was offered the opportunity to work with this incredible model (she was a guest model at Zoi M0rgan's studio in The Netherlands) I of course jumped at the chance.

The shoot was a combination of Art Nude and posing with fabrics and, as you would expect from a shoot with this fantastic model, it was a great success and I got lots of great images.

Joy is professional, fun and chatty and great to work with and I strongly recommend her.

Thanks for a great shoot Joy and I hope I get the chance to work with you again.

For our latest collaboration Joy and I were at SapphireStudio in Den Haag in order to enjoy this location full of vintage details. Joy had brought along a scarf, some fabrics and bijoux which we could make use of very well.

Working with her is always very nice, and once again I experienced the fact that she understands photographers very quickly, even when they only mutter some half-spoken words.

And when moving the furniture about, she is the first to offer assistance - there is no need to call in the owner of the studio.

Since we are both pleased with the results, there can only be one conclusion to be drawn: Recommended!

I had the pleasure to work with Joy for the first time. Joy is a very kind person and very professional aswell. Together we created awesome pictures in a nice relaxed atmosphere on a sunny day in the woods.

Before the shoot I have send her a moodboard and Joy exactly knew where I was looking for. She knew a perfect location, brought the right clothes and gave me beautiful poses and looks. She hardly needed any directions.

I am very happy with the results and I am already looking forward to a next shoot with Joy.

Had the pleasure of working with Joy yesterday. Not only have I been able to make stunning pictures, it was a fun and relaxed shoot! Joy is very professional and actively involved in making the perfect image! I highly recommend her! Thank you Joy for this amazing shoot!

The one thing that keeps puzzling me is why there's such a gap in time between our latest shoot and this one. Joy is an absolute delight to work with, something I already knew, so I should have booked her more frequently. A mistake I won't make again! We had a very productive afternoon with some fantastic images, and making a selection will be a really tough job. But also a pleasant one. Among other things, we did Geisha as well as Greek mythology style pictures, and obviously took advantage of that amazingly long, beautiful hair. That, in combination with her being not only very professional and reliable, but also fun to have around made this a top notch shoot. 10 out of 10! Thank you Joy!

This time, Joy modelled for a studio lighting workshop led by Barend Houtsmuller. She kept changing poses fluidly while allowing time to take my shots (while getting the lights right), then she came up with totally different poses for the next set, following the mood I had in mind for that set… And so she did for each of the six participants. I have worked with her several times now, each one in a different setting (1-1 studio, 2-1 outdoors, 2 workshops) – she always works towards getting the best result in a gentle mix of her own ideas and following the photographers’ views. Oh, she brought an extensive wardrobe to suit everyone’s needs. I got many great shots! Joy is a lady of many (modelling) trades, you cannot go wrong with her! Thanks a lot – shoot you next time :) Highly recommended!

Joy and I did a shoot in a rental studio in Amsterdam, where we had the right conditions to work.

As always she arrived at the location on time, with a bag full of clothes and other stuff.

We both had some ideas for the shoot, and quickly agreed to use some of the garments she had made herself recently.

Whenever I wanted to direct her, she only needed half a word in order to understand me.

Everything went just swimmingly, we both felt it was an afternoon of pure cooperation.

So yes, recommended!

We had a great photoshoot with Joy. She is a PRO! The photoshoot just flows smoothly from one pose to another. Very natural, creative and easy to work with. Hope to work with Joy again.

Dave GT

Wow! Had the most fantastic shoot with Joy, incredible natural beauty, every pose just flowed with ease, the most stunning figure, Joy knows exactly what you need to get that perfect shot. We got through so many themes, a real actress and professional model, there was a lot of laughing and joking, but it made our shoot more enjoyable and Joy is a beautiful person inside as well as outside! We are now planning our next shoot as we have plenty of concepts and ideas!

We were later joined by Ella Rose , the chemistry of both of them as a duo was magical and beautiful!

So without doubt I would recommend 110% Joy to any Photographer and model. Thanks Joy until next time x

I was delighted to host Joy in the studio yesterday. Clearly a very capable and professional model and I know the photographer was very happy with his shoot. I look forward to hosting Joy again. Very highly recommended.

Ella Rose Muse

I loved modelling with Joy again recently (for Dave GT at Upper Mills Studio). It's so nice to have the opportunity to meet and model with someone so on the same wavelength. I wrote a long, waffly reference in the past so won't repeat too much, but suffice it to say that we are a match possibly made in heaven (!) :-) and it was lovely to catch up for a cup of tea and lunch afterwards as well. I hope many more photographers will book us together! :-)

Very short notice shoot with Joy.

But her 'plane touched down at 4:15, and we were shooting by 6:30.

She'd brought a selection of outfits in line with our discussions, and had some clear and creative ideas to bring to my project.

She's lovely to work with, and brings a totally professional attitude.

I'd thoroughly recommend Joy, and hope to book her for another shoot in the future.

I finally had the chance to work with Joy and the results are great! Joy is very professional in every aspect, pre-shoot communication is great and her poses are beautiful. And the hair!

Highly recommended.

Thanks, Joy, I hope we can work together in the near or distant future.

Rodvin Davis

Very enjoyable and productive shoot with Joy. Pre-shoot communications were clear and prompt. She arrived at the shoot in good time, presented herself well with a comprehensive wardrobe. Joy takes direction well, but equally can work creatively on her own initiative; she is also easy to get along with. A very positive experience - highly recommended!
