References for KatyB (Katex)

I have worked with this amazing lady lots of times and I think we must have covered every genre. Fair to say I think this shoot moved her out of her comfort zone.

Katy took on this shoot with total enthusiasm and absolutely nailed it. A few travel problems with the rail on the day but all went well and delighted with the results. Eight photographers on this shoot and everyone in awe of what we created.

Once again totally recommended.

I have always known about the lovely Katy and have admired her work for a long time. I’m so glad I finally got to see the art she can create behind the camera!

She is an incredible model that poses with ease and is incredibly confident.

She has a great personally that is fun and soo easy to get on with.

Katy created some really amazing images from the underwater shoot at TankSpace.

I’d really love to work with Katy again and truly recommend anyone who is thinking about working with Katy for an upcoming shoot! Xx

Many times I have had the pleasure of working with Katy and on each occasion she has delivered.

Over the years she has developed into a sophisticated multi faceted model who is able to empathise with my random style of working. Her professionalism is unquestionable and always uppermost. A more friendly person one couldn't wish to meet and those expressive eyes have become something of a trademark!

We have covered so many surreal themes and on this shoot I decided upon simplicity for a change albeit fairly intense. Katy is so easy to direct and this makes working with her incredibly easy as well as relaxing. Any model looking for inspiration should look through Katy's portfolio and see exactly the benefits of hard work .

Into Darkness

Katy's often described, fairly accurately as a chameleon. I'd probably say that "shape shifter" is more accurate as there's more to Katy than just being able to change colours.

Fantastic as always, never feels like "work" to me, but definitely recommended!

Can't remember how many times we have worked together,,, lots...and always a superbly creative experience.

Katex is an extremely versatile lady to work with and without doubt a total professional and crazy fun to shoot. Her preparations and approach to modelling is second to none.

We do (yes WE),as much talking as we do shooting and time flys by.

We have ideas arising from this UV shoot so another one in the planning, and I cant wait.

100% recommended.

Yet another amazing tea-fuelled creativity fest with KatyB - what a way to end the lockdown famine!

As ever, Katy arrived with a case bursting with new outfits, and a head full of ideas. From the serious to the quirky, Katy can do it all. I'm not going to bang on again about just how fabulous she is (see my past references for that :-)) - suffice to say that I really will never tire of shooting with her. We've already got a list of ideas for our next session, and I can't wait to get started on those.

Very highly recommended to all - you'll have to go a long way to find a harder working and more versatile model.

I was lucky enough to get a few hours shooting with Katy on her studio day at f/8 Studio in Gloucester a few days ago,

As always it was a wonderful fun shoot and with the help of studio owner Paul we managed to get through a few different sets and lighting setups.

Thanks goes to both of them for a really productive shoot.

Had another shoot with this amazing model. What can I say, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Full of fun, up for a giggle, nothing is ever too much trouble, willing to try crazy ideas, amazing - totally amazing posing, what more could you want.

Will be shooting Katy a lot more I think.

Very, very, very highly recommended.

Well, had my first shoot with Katy at Natural light Spaces and what can I say !! - We were working on a specific concept that I had I'm mind specifically for her as well as a few others !. Katy arrived the day before due to the distance and was on time at the studio. She is fun, bubbly and such a lovely person to work with. She added her ideas into the shoot and worked hard to get the precision shots I was after. She has an amazing look and time flew by. She has such a versatile look with her buzz cut and wigs, and can cover the complete range - from art nude to fashion. Highly recommended and I look forwards to working with you again :)

We had a really productive shoot again, I came up with it’s a Couple of Basic ideas that I wanted to try and Katy done the rest,

Katy is so intuitive as to what I wanted that that makes it such a pleasure to work with her, not that I did much work, Katy done all the hard work for me.

I am again really pleased with the results and so I hope to arrange another shoot when things get back to normal, ( if there is such a thing as normal )

Thanks again Katy and see you on the next leg of my photographic journey.

Had my first ever shoot with Katy today. After months of getting there - we finally got there!

Katy is an amazing model, phenomenal posing, great wardrobe and an absolute pleasure to work with. Pre-shoot comms were great, Katy arrived on time as agreed and brought everything agreed and a whole lot more. Katy is a joy to work with, easy to get along with, we laughed for most of the day.

Up for a laugh, a challenge and trying some strange concepts. This really was a great day. Can't wait to shoot with Katy again and cannot recommend her highly enough.

I saw Katy's portfolio and thought what a brilliant, interesting model she is and so contacted her asking if we might do a shoot together.

I was pleased when she said yes, and so yesterday, we had a four hour shoot at her apartment.

It was every bit as good as I was hoping and not only did she create so many interpretations of our ideas that blew me over, but also, she is a fun, pleasant person to be with.

We got not only lots of really interesting images, but I also had a creative, laughter filled day.

Needless to say, I recommend her to all photographers without any reservation.

n.b. She also gave me a chocolate eclair to eat with my coffee. What more can you ask?

Into Darkness

Katy's pretty epic. Fantastic communications, great to work with and an all-round superstar. Do not hesitate. Plot, scheme, and get yourself working with this one asap.

Much amaze. :D

BasAndrews

Another wonderful shoot with Katy, it was fun and productive.

Katy always provides great expression and poses, and we always have a laugh.

Highly recommended.

Thanks again Katy.

Not sure how I can add to the dozen or so highly positive references I've already left for Katy, so I'll just say...

I always love our studio shoots together, and based on the vaguest idea or two - plus a natter and a cup of tea :-) - we always seem to come up with far more wonderful and often whacky ideas than we can shoot in the time available. Katy is without fail inspirational, versatile and generally fabulous in front the camera. Muse, top model and friend - in short, someone I shall never tire of shooting with.

Here's to the next time Katy! My highest recommendation to all.

Digital Eye Photos (Bristol)

Another fabulous and crazy shoot with Katy... We talked and laughed all the way through the shoot... Not sure how we do it. But we always come away smiling and happy. this shoot was very different to our usual. Concentrated on portraits and got some amazing and creative images... Will work with Katy again I'm sure

I had a great shoot with Katy today. She was great to work with and very patient as we were working with film as well as digital. I can't wait to develop the images.

We spent some time on location for urban portraits and then in her apartment for more portraits and some art-nude work. Katy was great following direction and was happy to work with ideas I suggested.

Katy was a fun, chatty and the shoot passed by all too quickly. I would definitely work with Katy again and would recommend her to all.

It was my first shoot with Katy.

Everything about this shoot was simply brilliant, before the shoot was impressive enough, arranging the shoot, organizing details and updates on the day all spot on, but working with Katy is amazing, she has such energy that it is difficult to not feel immediately inspired. Fun, lively, enthusiastic all come to mind when wishing to describe Katy.

I would definitely like to work with Katy again and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others.

Katy is awesome.

To be honest, I could just leave the reference there, but you might need more. Yes, she’s a damn good model - creative, flexible, funny, always on time, always prepared, has all the skills, but also she’s always up to try something different. “Different”, when we get together, often means weird (in a good way). That’s why I love working with her. Every time I get something new & different for my portfolio. And that’s why I know I’m going to keep on working with her as often as logistics allow. Sorry Katy, you’re stuck with me. Book her. You’ll get magic in your camera.

Katy is a model that you simply need to book. She is a consummate professional. Communications in advance of the shoot were first rate and communications during the shoot were first rate - in fact there was a lot of fun and laughter throughout! Katy has an extensive wardrobe and arrived ready to shoot. Katy has a unique style and came through recommendation of the fabulous Alley of Pozers Studios. Ally, a respected photographer and owner of a group of studios, got her recommendation spot on - and from my experience, I'd also unreservedly recommend Katy to other togs.
