Had the first shoot with Katarina today, great start with Katarina bringing (delicious) brownies!

I had put Katarina on my 'want to work with' list after seeing some of her images, and so lucky that she was visiting the Newcastle area. Katarina's a very talented photographer herself, and equally good at modelling, her spatial awareness and sense of viewpoint really show, so that she poses with great creativity and ease.

In about 4 hours we got a lot of images on some themes but I hope Katarina and I will get to do more shoots together as this 'taster' really made me appreciate the need to work again with such an inspiring and talented (I know I said it before) young lady.

I had the pleasure of welcoming Katarina into the ManCave recently and what an awesome session we had. Excellent Pre Comms and Prep. Kat has a truly fabulous all natural figure that she sculpts into pose with complete ease, fully understanding the mood of the scene. Katarina is also a really nice girl to spend the hours away with during a long studio session, she's very easy to bond & gel with. Needless to say I can Highly Recommend Katarina.

Had a shoot with Kat today in an old, ruined mansion house and it was fabulous. We tried several different ideas in the middle of a howling gale and stair rod rain and Kat came up trumps every time. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and Kat arrived on time with plenty of outfits. There were plenty of ideas between us which sparked off many more. A very good model and a very creative and pleasant person. I am looking forward to working with her again soon had a fabulous (if wet) time. I would recommend Kat without hesitation.

I loved shooting with Katarina. As somebody with a liking for shooting the unconventional, it can sometimes be difficult to find models who understand and appreciate what you are seeking to achieve. With Katarina I had no such difficulties From the start of the shoot we shared a common vision of the type of images we wanted to create. Katarina is fun and friendly to work with and her talents as a model and photographer made for a true collaboration and as a result the creation of some really fab images.

Underlying this is Katarina's great sense of style, ability to pose and amazing expressive look. I also loved her sense of adventure; happily shooting outside in pyjamas as well as immersing herself in cake!

There are so many other concepts I would love to shoot with Katarina. I'm already looking forward to our next collaboration.

If you're looking for a creative, friendly, articulate model who understands and appreciates contemporary photography from both sides of the lens look no further.

Highly recommended!

Wow!

My first contact with Katarina was last week. Eight days later we were laughing, sharing stories, I was telling Katarina things I'd not shared with people I've known for 20 years, and creating some of the best images I've ever been involved with. We had an absolute blast together on out shoot.

Pre-shoot communications were perfect, with the whole shoot planned and organised in no time.

Katarina travelled a long way to accommodate our shoot together, and was even prepared to travel further. She brought lots of costumes and props with her which helped to create a whole load of different looks. She was well prepared throughout, and also came up with some fantastic ideas on location. She is creative in her approach to posing, and fabulous results are guaranteed because of this. A good shot became a great one because of Katarina. I am so pleased we worked together.

I love the images already, and struggling to find a way of choosing my favourites - there really are that many.

Yes, this is clearly a recommendation for you to work with Katarina - I just hope I can work with her again soon.

Katarina is, by far, one of the most interesting and creative models I have ever met.

As an amazingly brilliant photographer herself (I'm a huge fan of her work), she knows what looks good and embraces ideas with an incredible passion. She is only too happy to chip-in with her creative interpretations. It really is inspiring working with her.

Her versatility is incomparable; she can flit through a whole myriad of styles. Whether it's beautiful portraits, androgyny, editorial and of course, the downright wacky.

Really looking forward to the next chance I gt to work with Katarina.

Thank you Katarina for a brilliant shoot!

Katarina was great to shoot with. She is very open minded and has lots of great ideas. She is also very friendly and easy to get along with. I'd highly recommend her!

My work is mostly dark, and it can be pretty messy. I often look for people who are expressive and are not afraid of looking, shall we say, not at their best! My aim is to try to create thought provoking, expressive images and with Kat it was very easy!!! She is easily one of the most expressive and creative models I've worked with; able to convey intense mood and passion through her heartfelt expression and ability to act out an idea.

She dedicates herself to following the 'whatever it takes to get a good image' rule; so, model + dedication = meaningful images. Not only that but she's a smasher too; friendly, fun and engaging. Kat helped create my dark vision to such a degree that the images which we created are some of my absolute favorites.

Recommend her? Absolutely! Nuff said!
