Amazing shoot with John Duder as the photographer, and Mika modelling.

Pre shoot communication was excellent, with Mika sending mood boards and ideas of clothes over so both myself and John could plan.

Mika turned up on the day with lots more than planned -clothes, wigs , even her own makeup !

Although very professional, Mika was incredibly friendly and easy to get along with , we all spent the day laughing and planning further shoots !

Mika was also very happy to go with the flow with makeup changes , suggestions on what she would like to wear with which outfit , even mid set adjustments to change the look slightly- often encouraging my use of glitter !

If you are looking for a model who is friendly, reliable, hard working and great fun, I highly recommend Mika!

We did an experimental makeup shoot with Lianne86, and I'm really impressed by how model and MUA collaborated to produce a series of stunning looks.

Excellent comms, great attitude, and the ability to carry off a series of disparate looks. And the wardrobe...

Plans are afoot for more than one more shoot - this lady is a creativity magnet.

Matchboxmaus is easy to work with, professional and photogenic. I had the pleasure to have on a 2 days shoot with her at her bnb in London and I don't regret it. Everything was well planned and the place she chose was perfect.

I'd definitely want to work with her again and she is warmly recommended.

I met Mica at a duo shoot she organised with MissyKiou. Pre shoot communications was good. Mica did her own hair and makeup, and brought a wide range of clothing, and accessories for the shoot and allowed us to create several different looks.

Highly recommended.

Looking forward to shooting with Mica again at some point in the future.

This was my first shoot with MatchboxMaus, she organised a duo shoot with MissyKiou, and the pre-coms were excellent. On the day, she had a suitcase full of outfit and she even bought drinks and biscuit, very professional! The shoot was fun and we tried a lot of ideas. I recommend her to all photographers.

I met Mica at London Bridge, partly to do an "out and about" shoot around Southwark and the South Bank, and partly to chat about a more comprehensive shoot in a few weeks time. Mica is really lovely. She is an intelligent young woman who poses with ease and is extremely photogenic. She's also a very relaxing person to work with - no diva here. We walked quite a long way as part of our shoot and, despite being unwell that day, Mica was a trooper. BTW, the green hair has gone and, IMHO, she looks much better with her current buzz cut (though has wigs she can wear if that is what you want). Very highly recommended.

MatchboxMaus was a wonderful model who took direction well and was laid back and relaxed and we took some lovely images and the shoot was really fun. I think everyone was happy with the end results.

Will definitely be shooting with her again.

First thing to say: Mica is awesome. She is a fairly new model but don't let that put you off. What she lacks in experience she more than makes up for in her enthusiasm to learn, energy and good old-fashioned hard work.

Mica's pre-shoot communication was good and on the day, she had a 2.5 hour journey with numerous changes but kept me posted all the way. Could not have asked for more on that front.

As a person, she is very sociable, easy to get along with new certainly more mature than the average 20 year old. She is one of those rare people that I believe most people would be able to connect with.

For the shoot, we shot several ideas, including some of Mica's. To add to the list of Mica's qualities, she has some great ideas!

A special, special young model who I can highly recommend and would dearly love to shoot with again :)

Mica came on time, extremely polite, sociable, open minded and worked hard for the whole day. The subject and context of the fetish shoot was difficult and she was a trooper throughout. Beautiful bone structure. Would recommend.

Having worked with Mika already prior to this small shoot, I knew what to expect.

As always, it was a relaxed shoot of my cosplay. This time we had agreed on me bringing just two so we could focus more on the characters, Quality over Quantity.

I love the images I got back and Mika is always so helpful in suggesting posing ideas when I get stuck. I've enjoyed working with them and would love to do so again in future.

Thanks for the shooting in Birmingham while I was here for a few days. I can fully recommend working with Mica; she was concentrated, open for my ideas and had a lot of patience with me and my old-school camera. Can't wait to get the films developped now!

Mica, you're best when you are yourself in front of the camera.

SavageOptic

Shot with Mica today, and was very impressed. All the pre coms went great, she arrived at the designated time, with all the clothes and make up we had discussed. The shoot went great, Mica worked hard to achieve some difficult poses and handled awkward props effortlessly. She responded well to direction, or was able to produce a great range of poses independently. All this and a great, cool personality.

In short, a great model who I would highly recommend.

Thanks Mica...you ROCK.

Great first shoot with this up and coming model. She has a presence in front of the camera that explains some excellent captured images. She contributes with ideas and a smile that radiates warmth. Would definitely work with her again on a variety of ideas.

I had my first shoot with Sam yesterday, and it was a delight form start to finish.

Sam is very new to modelling, but if she hadn't told me that herself I wouldn't have believed it!

She's a beautiful model with a great figure, who is able to pose elegantly without direction, but also takes direction well.

Pre-shoot comms were great, and Sam arrived well prepared and ready to shoot. We batted shoot ideas back and forth on the day as well, and she had some great suggestions for the shoot, and had even brought along a few props to complement certain shots.

Sam was very easy to talk to as well and we had a lot of fun on the shoot.

I'd definitely recommend her, and I hope that I get the chance to work with her again soon.

I had the pleasure of shooting recently with Sam, running through a whole range of images from street fashion to snake handling. Sam puts heart and soul into her modelling and did amazingly well for a someone so new to it! Very confident, calm and collected in her posing, and happy working directed or off her own ideas.

Her photographic knowledge really helps in creating images and she has a good eye for what works with her. Definitely recommended, great day and a terrific set of images - hope to work together again soon.

Mika took some photos of me in cosplay and was a great help in suggesting things like poses as I was super unsure about what to do. I'd only recently started getting more serious about cosplay and enjoyed the shoot very much.

We were just having a quick shoot in Millenium Point Park. Nothing strenuous. It was a fun time and I enjoyed working with them. Mika is easy-going and super easy to talk to, willing to dicuss ideas with you and help you out with suggestions if you're stumped.

I would 100% work with them again.
