I shot with Karya for a ballet-themed group shoot in Brick Lane.

She was very personable and easy to get along with, both in the run-up to the shoot and on the day. She was easy to direct, and offered helpful suggestions for poses that worked well en-pointe. A very fun shoot.

I booked Karya for a Ballet / Dance / Lighting Workshop, communication was excellent.

Arrived on time and ready with a full selection of outfits. She posed so elegantly, spun, jumped, run, balanced, and worked worked worked. She was truely amazing, and on top of that a lovely person.

Highly recommended and already planning to book again.

I had worked once with Karya at a group event in Canary Wharf and her grace and elegance impressed me (despite working on a very cold Winter's day in London!). I contacted her afterwards to arrange a solo shoot and we agreed to meet at the stunning Burford Manor, which simply has the most amazing sets and is set in a fabulous old Manor House in the Kent countryside.

Karya is a delight to work with, so poised and very relaxed, and pleasant to work with. We both enjoyed creating some magic in those beautiful surroundings. This certainly won't be our last shoot and I must highly recommend Karya as a model. While I haven't seen her professional work (yet) I am sure as a dancer and an actress she has much to offer!

I'd wanted to work with Karya for a while, so when the chance of a short notice shoot came up the answer was obvious.

We met at a place I'd suggested in London and spent a delightful four hours wandering around making use of several locations I had in mind. Karya throughout was excellent - attentive to detail, happy to pose in a variety of ways, willing to experiment and took everything (including members of the public) in her stride. The whole shoot felt like a true collaboration and I thoroughly enjoyed it, getting some cracking photos in the process.

I will definitely shoot with her again - sooner rather than later - as we only really scratched the surface of the area we were exploring. If working with dancers is your thing, or if you've never tried it before and fancy having a go, then I highly recommend you get in touch with Karya - she is a star!

After taking part in a group shoot with Karya i decided to book her for a 1 to 1 Ballerina shoot in London. Karya is an attractive young lady and has no trouble posing on point, she was enthusiastic, friendly and a joy to be with for the length of our shoot, i am more than happy with the photos and are in the process of organising our next shoot together. Highly recommended.

Karya did a model day ballet style shoot at a studio and I managed to get one of the time slots. (wish I got two slots)

Karya was absolutely brilliant, very friendly, professional, easy to work with and kept going even though she had been working for several hours before I got there. Between us we got through several different concepts and styles and I got some killer ballerina images.

Hope to work with her again. Highly recommended

So looking forward to further shoots with Karya, following this 4hr outdoor location fashion / dance shoot in London with a group of photographers, that I organised.

With cold weather, Karya performed well ending with Ballet captures at the end !

I will be booking Karya in a repeat shoot in the summer - Keith

First time shoot with Karya on a great group shoot with 2 other models around Canary Wharf.

Karya was an bright, engaging, enthusiastic model who got into the spirit of the shoot, braving the bright, cold winter weather, to provide some great model poses against some iconic local architecture/settings.

A fun and creative shoot with Karya - highly recommended.

Richard Huckett

We had a great time walking about London on a very cold day. Karya did a great job of putting up with the challenging conditions. I'd recommend her an day.

Mike Grantham

Karya was one of three models who worked with a group of photographers on a fashion shoot in Canary Wharf London. She was able to use her dance and ballet skills to great effect and was a pleasure to work with. She worked very well as part of the team and was very patient with us Togs, despite freezing cold weather which she coped with bravely.

I got some fabulous shots with Karya and will undoubtedly work with her again! Highly recommended!

Malcolm Clark

Karya is an absolute joy to work with.

Karya is extremely professional, hard working and most of all an excellent dancer and model, she arrived prepared with a range of costumes and offered some fantastic ideas for our shoot.

I will definitely be arranging another shoot with Karya soon

Is exactly what she says on the tin. Pleasant personality, lovely big eyes, good comms and posing, and is good en-pointe - which is what our shoot was all about. Can't recommend her highly enough.
