This was my first shot with Joy! It will not be the last!

She was part of a two-model-five-photographers joint shoot over four wonderful, creative days.

Joy is beautiful, tough, friendly, open minded, creative, hard-working. She adds that unexpected, silly, uppside-down-pose, crazy-beautiful, natural figure and mood to a shot that makes your images some more than you imagined. That said, she is happy and very skilled in following your directions exactly as you may wish too.

Joy has a lovely long hair. Natural. Creative. Beautiful curves and skin. Perfect art-nude. A true creative collaborator.

What fantastic days with Joy! She is lovely, very friendly, helpful and easy going person that made the atmosphere at this joint event so pleasant and memorable!

I will book Joy again and I highly recommend her to all photographers!

Thank you Joy! :-) :-):-)

Fantastic model! We worked on a multi-day shoot last week for the first time. Joy is great to work with and possesses an amazing figure, looks, and great attitude to make shooting and collaborating a dream. Oh and her hair, never cut it Joy!

I am super excited to plan my next shoot with Joy over the summer in Ireland. If you get the chance, book her, you won't be disappointed! Highly recommended!

Met Joy at Studio13 in Amsterdam for a photoshoot yesterday. We had a very good and fun three hour session, and I'm very happy with the results. She is easy to work with, and also has ideas of her own, which suits me fine.

Hope to work with you again in the future :-)

Joy and I, both Dutch, met here on Purpleport, so again hurray for Purpleport! ;-)

We had great, fast and clear pre-shoot communication. Last week we shot about a full day and I just Ioved working with her. She is incredibly beautiful. Her eyes and smile can make you melt and her figure is just fabulous. She is a real professional with a lot of experience. And really sweet and fun to be around. So guaranteed great shots!

In between autumn rain and winds we even had an opportunity to do some (sunny) outdoor shots. I love them. We did some great stuff in the studio as well.

So in short: I was very happy to finally work with her (and soon again I hope). I recommend her strongly.

Dear Joy, thank you very much again, you are the best.. loved working with you! :-D

What can I say about Joy that has not already been said? Nothing probably. Still I would like to share my personal experiences with this incredibly talented young woman. I came across her portfolio shortly after her return from overseas and was amazed at her determination and diversity in poses and facial expressions from the first shoot onward (did 4 shoots with her so far and have a fifth in the books already). Joy is as her name states, a joy to work with; easy going, takes directions very easy but is at the same time not afraid to voice her opinion or give advise to improve the outcome of a shoot. Yes, she goes the extra mile to give me what I strive to achieve. She brings her enthousiasm to the set whether it be in a studio or not and by doing so she makes shooting her a real ..... joy :) . Would I recommend her? Do I really need to state the obvious?

Thank you for the fun times and gorgeous photos Joy. Until we meet again.

Joy is a beautiful model and a very good human being. I wa on Crete with her and she was excellent and really joyful to work with. Sure I recommand to work with her.

I have just completed a weekend event in South West Wales on which Joy was one of the models. This was my third shoot with Joy over a four year period and this was our first time shooting in wild country with beaches, rocks, cliffs, caves and derelict castles and churches.

Joy took it all in her stride, revelling in the challenges of climbing into seemingly inaccessible places and striking beautiful poses which matched the settings perfectly. A very enjoyable and productive weekend. North Wales next time, Joy! x

Joy Draiki is highly recommended by me.

I had my second shoot with Joy, this time in the woods and heathland near her home in the Netherlands. She is well-named as working with 'Draiki' is an absolute Joy! She took me to some excellent locations and we got some truly beautiful shots. As well as being a beautiful and talented model, I can recommend Joy as a navigator/sat nav! A magical afternoon. Joy Draiki is highly recommended by me. Pete

I've been taking photographs now for 40 years and I don't think I've ever shot anyone with a greater or more natural beauty than Joy Draiki. Punctual and wearing only a minimum of make up, she totally charmed me from the first moment until the last. I found her to be a complete inspiration throughout. She also has the most sensational body shape. I try not to stare but I was severely tested here.

I don't take what I do for granted at all. I realise that as a photographer, once in a while, I'm granted the privilege to work with someone truly special. That time is always all too brief. I'd move heaven and earth to work with Joy again.

Had the pleasure to work with Joy during her London tour. She is strikingly beautiful with a very fit but at the same time curvaceous and voluptuous body.

She take directions well and also contributes with her own ideas to the shoot.

I am very happy with the results of our work and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I hope to work with her again next time she will come back to London.

Had a great shoot and day with Joy. She is a lovely person and very easy to get on with. Didn't need to give her much/any direction. Good communication before and during the shoot

Would highly recommend her. Hope/looking forward to working with her again

Got my second chance to shoot with Joy on her recent tour in London.... As last time Joy was a true pleasure to work with... We had tons of fun exploring a couple of themes... one of which involved running wild deep into Richmond park without batting an eyelid.

Joy as a model is super efficient and knows her poses rather well... Her understanding of lighting is such that there's zero direction needed to achieve the desired images... She is patient and extremely relaxed...

As a person she is chatty,great fun and has a habit of charming pretty much anyone that comes within a 10 foot radius... This includes animals....

Don't miss your chance to work with this incredible human being...

I found Joy a very pleasant model to work with. I was able to capture a wide variety of pictures with a few wardrobe changes. These ranged from classical Roman goddess to a cool biker look. She was also able to contribute useful suggestions to the shoot.

I did my first shoot with Joy more than a year ago (don't know exactly when anymore) at her lovely home. Joy is a sweet, beautiful and awesome model with loads of experience. She knows how to pose and had great ideas during the shoot. Pre-communication was good and we both knew what to expect beforehand. She was also kind enough to pick me up from the train station. I had a great time shooting with Joy and I', looking forward to be working with her again (which will be soon! :D )

We shot yesterday at low tide on a -almost dry- sandbank in the Waddenzee in the north of Holland. Although the wind was blowing at force 6, and it was pretty cold for Joy, she was extremely professional and did her utmost to make sure I got the shots I wanted.She was as great to work with as she'd been the first time. I can recommend Joy to every photographer who has the luck to have the chance to work with her.

Highly recommended! Joy is a delight to work with. She understands the photographers ideas and can translate it into a great picture.

I met Joy a couple of times last year, when attending a workshop where she was the model. Although the conditions where not easy, cold and locations, Joy was very easy going. Having a couple of demanding photographers around her, she was relaxed, friendly and stayed this way during the workshop. Joy is easy to direct, adds her own ideas , suggests improvements, going for a good results. And the results where very good. I had a great time working with her.

So it is about time to see her again. Saying this means i can highly recommend Joy .

Well, if any model I've worked with has lived up to her name, it's Joy. What a pleasure it was to work with her. Can't wait for our nxt shoot which will be next week, if the weather is willing to co-operate. Would I recommend her? Hell, yeah!!
