f/8 Studio

It had been a while since we last had Katy at f/8 but boy was it worth the wait to have her back.

Katy is just perfect, loads of outfits to fit the brief, nothing is ever too much trouble, great look, great model and always an absolute hoot to work with.

Would highly recommend her and hope to have her back lots in the coming months

Had a fun and productive Alternative and Fashion Nude Shoot with KatyB today at f/8 studio. A massive suitcase full of all sorts of alternative fashion items together with her boundless energy and great sense of humour meant the 6 hours was filled with a fabulous array of costumes and poses without ever feeling formulaic. Anyone booking her is guaranteed to get a stunning set of images.

Our nth shoot together, and I was about to write "as good as ever" but in fact Katy is even better than ever! She never fails to amaze me with her incredible wardrobe and diversity of looks in front of the camera, but this time there was an extra dimension to the poses and emotion she portrayed. Nobody works harder to astound and delight her photographer, and to constantly evolve and improve her skills. Great pictures and a great time on the shoot are always assured.

As ever, my highest recommendation!

It wa great to be back shooting with Katy since our last in late 2019 pre lock down.

What is there to say that hasn't already been said about this amazing model. Katy's pre shoot comms was perfect and detailled. The place she arranged for the shoot was just right and exactly as described, complete the high quality studio lighting. The way she interpreted the shoot descripton to creat the photos was just so on theme. While she poses without prompting, she is more than happy to be directed into weird and wacky positions even if not very comfortable to enable you to get the shot you require.

A very big positive recommendation from me for this awesome girl

Another successful shoot with the Chameleon like Katy, every time we shoot, Katy has a different look,

This time was no exception, red hair orange eye makeup, what will she look like next time?????

Talking of which the next shoot has already been booked, studio day Birmingham I believe,

Pictures of this shoot will be posted soon,

till next time, thanks Katy

As always Katy is well recommended.

Pre Comms were as ever great, I haven't shot with Katy in around 5 years due to various events... It was a pleasure to work with Katy again she is very creative and full of energy... Once again she fully understood my rambled concept and we unravelled it to create something amazing yet again. I am never disappointed with the images that we achieve...highly recommend Katy and promise not to leave it so long before our next shoot

We had a couple of shoots recently,

The first was obviously a horror themed shoot as it was near Halloween, which turned out to be great fun,

Katy put in a lot of time and effort into doing the makeup style I recommended, with different outfit changes, nothing was to much trouble for her, she helped anyway she could with ideas based on my suggestions,

The second and latest shoot was done with a lot of new clothes that Katy had purchased to add to her ever expanding collection of outfits, including more latex, also happy to try on anything I bring along,

I guess I am lucky to live within 40 minutes drive so any time I have an idea to try, Katy is there to help,

I might not be any good at directing the posing but that does not matter while shooting with her, she does it all for me,

Thanks again Katy, till next time.

Another incredible shoot together... scarily good in fact! This time Katy put her considerable styling and make-up artist talents to the test, and I can't wait to get into the edits and share what we created.

Once again, we left the studio with even more ideas than when we arrived, and a promise to shoot again soon.

Katy is not only one talented and inspirational model, but an amazing all-in-one creative team.

As ever, very highly recommended!

I was very impressed when I arrived at Katy’s with how well-prepared she was: hair and makeup beautifully done, the room tidy, lights set up… Unfortunately a technical problem (completely my fault!) prevented the shoot from going ahead, but Katy had definitely done everything to ensure that we could get off to a flying start. Next time I’ll double-check my gear before I set out!

Paul Askins

Had a second day shooting with Katy, and after our late night beach shoot and a long drive home, she still brought her A-Game to the shoot thismorning. We cycled through various setups in the studio with a raised beam first, which was new for Katy and a bit of a challenge as it's quite narrow, but we got some great shots from it. Then we had a look through the big box o latex clothing and picked out various pieces to shoot with for the remaining hours.

All in all, two great days that we've been trying to do for two years.

Had our first shoot since pre-covid on Saturday, after having it postponed so namy times due to travel restrictions and end of world type crap, so it was great to see Katy again. As always, she's a quality professional who brings 100% A-Game to the shoot. Always critical of herself in wanting to get the best, so yous're guaranteed to get quality.

Shot for the day with herself and other photographer, Bullets, around some locations in the city and then back to the home studio. Katy has no problems with different locations, or people being about, and can manage it all.

Late in the night then we went to beach for a night shoot with some long exposures and light painting which required holding the poses for quite a while. Something new for Katy but she was well up for holding the poses for up to 10 seconds or so, and I'm delighted with the results. Always looking to understand what the expected outcome is so that she can give it her all and get quality results.

The photos speak for themselves. Quality.

Great working with Katy for the 2nd time on her recent visit to Ireland where she had teamed up with Paul Askins and myself. We had a variety of styles we got through during the day from some Town/Urban style shots (the Best of Limerick Alley's were used :-P) colour and mono art-nude, portraits and some lovely mono fashion/like sets. I'm still going trough the RAW files selecting shots to process, Loving what we've captured so far. ~B

I got to work with KatyB for the third time last week while she was on her Irish tour in Cork.Each time I work with her it just it just gets better and better .

She is just so professional, well preparebd and friendly it is impossible not to get great varied results. I have done very well in International salons with images I took with KatyB ,wining a gold medal ,several honourable mentions and to many acceptances to count.There was also another photographer with Me and it was his first working with this model but it won't be his last .looking forward to the next time .

Silverbeard

Confident and creative , KatyB is a delightfully versatile model. Patient and polite, she accepts direction graciously when it is offered, but also poses freely to great effect. Her quick wit and good humour ensured our shoot was enjoyable as well as productive, and I look forward to repeating the experience.

Katy is just fantastic! Her vast experience modelling shows through and she is brilliant to work with. She is also great fun and a lovely person.

We had worked together very briefly a few years ago and she had worked in our studio with others but it was brilliant to finally do a full session with her on this occasion. I shot Wet Plates with her - a difficult analogue process - and she took to it immediately. We got some superb results with this difficult style of photography - mostly down to her ability as a model and her collaborative nature. She was indeed a gem to work with.

She is also a chameleon - she can be alternative and striking but she can also be soft and sensual - and is at home shooting either look.

Her pre shoot comms were fantastic, she arrived on time and ready and had loads of outfits including a couple of things I had requested.

Work with her and you will not be disappointed - she is amazing and I would highly recommend her.

I had Katy booked for two day's as I havn't shot with her in a while. Pre Shoots Comms were excellent and Katy came well prepared with suitable outfits etc. I had shared a few ideas with Katy beforehand, for a few targeted shots that I knew she would suit. For the two days Katy worked tirelessy to get me the shots I wanted. I highly recommend Katy and eagerly look forward to her return to my side of the world. Fantastic Person to work and colaberate with, one of a kind :)

Another productive shoot at Katy's place, and also outside

This time we did a bit of experimenting with the lighting at her place, shadows etc.

Then we went outside to shoot at the local park which has a few art exhibits to shoot in/around,

Katy is never short of enthusiasm, poses and ideas and that always makes each shoot memorable,

can't wait to see what our next shoot has in store for us, hopefully this will be soon,

Thank's again for a great shoot Katy.

Jolly-Roger

Wonderful shoot with Katy, This time in the cellar with a dark and mysterious theme,

Katy always manages to surprise me with her interpretation of what sort of look I am after.

Thanks to her enthusiasm we managed to get some great shoots even in the little time we had available,

Thanks again Katy.

We had an excellent week in Formentera Spain shooting. Although very hot and not feeling great Katy did a fantastic job working very hard to deliver a superb range of different images.

She was also great company too.

Thanks

It's never a boring day when Katy comes to visit! We have shot countless times together but some things never change... Katy always brings a vast suitcase of amazing outfits; she always brings heaps of energy and creative; and she always absolutely nails any idea (no matter how silly or serious!) I throw in her direction.

A shoot with Katy is great conversation, a lot of laughter and a real collaboration all topped off with a heap of fab images in the camera at the end of the session. If you've booked Katy before, book her again (she's a chameleon!), and if you've never booked Katy before you are in for a treat.

My highest recommendation for this sassy, talented and all round lovely-to-be-with model!
