I recently had a shoot with the fabulous Natasha on a very cold December day. Natasha had been taking a bit of a break from modelling due to a hectic schedule of work and studying. You couldn't tell, she was back into action like she had never been away.

She has always been totally fearless and prepared to go the distance as required for the shot. At one point she was up to her waist in freezing water (her idea) and found to be climbing stuff.

It was fabulous to get her back in front of the camera again :)

Needless to say she comes highly recommended.

Finally got the chance to photograph Natasha whilst on a Natural Light course with Mike Croshaw. The location choice was in the woodlands of Reading and, besides getting lost for the first hour, turned out to be a perfect shoot!!

Shooting in such a vast space allowed for loads of great backdrops! Natasha was a bundle of energy throughout, pushing beyond the limits and giving loads of supportive ideas! Only issue is having so much variety you're left with too many choices!

Hopefully have the chance to work with her again soon. Anyone thinking of booking her, just do it! She is awesome !! :)

Natasha made the shoot a barrel of laughs and yet as soon as the camera goes up she pulls it out of the bag an is surely a natural. Really good fun, such a good natured and easy going model. Look forward to doing it all again.. perhaps minus the fire haha.

I heard she was good but she was on Fire at the Mike Croshaw Workshop last Sunday. A lot of fun to work with and posed like a star despite the rain, flies and smoke in her face all day. Still working through the pictures but she is shining through. Thoroughly enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend. Thank you Natasha.

It's my own fault. Only myself to blame. I have known Natasha for such a long time and had seen images of her before then, I always wanted to work with her. So why the wasted years?

With thanks to Mike Croshaw for arranging a natural light course, seven blokes with cameras stalked Natasha around woodland for five hours. To the casual observed this may have seemed strange, but for us the experience was extraordinary. So many outfits to choose from, plus the wig, and such a bonkers person to shoot! Natasha is such wonderful fun to be with, but when you point your camera at her the serious modelling head takes over. So many tremendous images to choose from it is going to take time just to look at them all.

Worth mentioning the brambles, insects, rain, fire (ooops!) because it was all ignored as the day progressed (OK, we didn't ignore the fire) and all of my expectations were confirmed. Natasha is simply one of the best models. And I have no intention of getting to the back of the queue to shoot with Natasha again. I am pushing to the front!!

I'll try to keep this concise (which will be a struggle because there are so many positives to cover!).

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Natasha on one of Mike Croshaw's natural and speedlight courses (again, very highly recommended). Natasha battled the elements, the thorns, the mud, the insects and dog walkers like it was second nature to her. However, beyond Natasha's exemplary cross-country skills, she is a model of exceptional ability. Her range of poses is extensive, but it's her range of expressions that are truly special and just so magical for portrait work - they melt the heart.

In between shoots she is great fun to spend time with. It's very easy to forget that you're on a photo-shoot and while away the time happily chatting away!

An all round awesome person, model and wig-wearer!

I've worked with this crazy Portuguese midget on more occasions than I can count, certainly more times than any other model, so I don't really know what else I can add. The fact that I have worked with her more than any other model on this site should give you a hint that she is a bit special ( in many, many ways ). Awesome model, one of my absolutely favourite people to work with.

In the last reference I left for this little Powerball of a model, I noted that shoot #2 was in the calendar. Well, shoot #2 happened.

We stormed through the initial ideas that I'd started with, in about half the time that I'd anticipated, and such is Natasha's energy that we then went through many more, including with her handling my boa constrictor!

Yet more ideas between us are still at early stages, so hopefully more shoots will happen soon :D

Well what can I say about this little stunner!

I was delighted to be asked to do a duo shoot with Natasha and Bigfish on my recent trip to Reading.

Natasha is a fantastic model throwing out pose after pose and full of ideas to improve each shot.

Natasha bought tons of outfits and her hair and makeup were really lovely.

We had such a good time and laughed non stop, the whole shoot was lots of fun and Natasha is really easy to pose alongside.

I've made a great friend and would love to work with her again xx

I had my Nth shoot with Mz Felix and i freely admit i have not left references for all of them. This one was slightly different as it was a duo shoot with the fabulous Kes Wild down from Liverpool to visit the Reading Social. Our plan was pretty loose but was made so much easier as the two girls got on like a house on fire. It was a wonderful shoot and probably the most fun I have had on a shoot. Both of the girls were totally awesome.

I have worked with Natasha many times and she is as beautiful as she is adaptable and unflappable. Mad as a box of frogs, in a really great way. Go work with this girl, you will not regret it :)

Despite living in the same town, I had never managed to arrange a shoot with the little ball of crazy called Natasha before this weekend.

She arrived a little delayed thanks to bus driver error, but that failed to dampen her humour, briefly said hi to my snakes, then we headed up to the studio. How can such a small suitcase carry so much?

I outlined my idea, with a hand-wavy theme and vague gestures towards some of her clothing, and Natasha burst into action, posing machine that she is, bringing my mumbles fully to life, appropriate expressions delivered at no extra charge.

It was a shorter shoot than my usual, because I'd only planned on two looks, but we've already got shoot #2 in the calendar to make up for that.

What am I doing? I know what she's like! Oh yeah, that's right, I know what she's like :D

Yesterday was my third booking with Natasha and that in itself says something about this model. As well as being completely reliable she is a lovely model to work with. She slipped back in to the painting pose with ease and also posed beautifully for photographs. All in all a productive session. Thanks again, Natasha.

Met Natasha for the first time today , we was modelling for a clothing catalog. I had no idea I was shooting with another model, but I was so excited I got this opportunity as I've been wanting to try working with other people, Natasha is a fantastic model and such a pleasure to work with not to mention her kind and lovely personality, she nailed all her poses and produced some great material, hoping we can work together again. Definitely would recommend as a professional . Such a stunning girl 😊

Had my first shoot with Natasha today.

I really can't recommend Natasha enough, her communications were excellent. Can with a big case full of cloths and worked tirelessly for more than two hours.

A four star performer++++

I had my second shoot with Natasha today. The emphasis on this occasion was on taking photographs in order to get to understand my camera better rather than on painting,

Natasha was again great fun to work with and ran through a never ending succession of beautiful poses for me to capture. She was very patient with me as I struggled with f-stops, apertures and ISO settings as well as numerous tripod adjustments

Natasha is a lovely model and I warmly recommend her to photographers and artists alike.

Thankyou Natasha :)

Today I worked with Natasha for the first time. What a delight!

Natasha has everything I want in a model and more besides. She is enthusiastic and creative in her posing and can work with or without direction. She is fun and interesting to talk to and our 4.5 hours together flew by. I am looking forward to our next booking.

Thankyou for a great day,Natasha :)

I had my first shoot with Natasha Felix today. It was an excellent experience. Natasha is lively, good company, thoughtful about what you are trying to achieve and works damn hard to help you achieve it.

It is a pleasure working with her, I plan to do so again, and I'm extremely pleased with the images we created. Fully recommended.

Our drawing group hired Natasha for a life drawing session at our office. Many in the group have a lot of experience of these classes and all were surprised to find out this was her first time modeling at life drawing. I think was due to her professional attitude and hard work. She had done her homework! Natasha created many great poses and help them for long periods of time. I was most impressed that I did not need to direct any poses for her or try to help come up with any ideas to keep the session going. Her communication skills are also excellent.

It would be a pleasure to work with Natasha again in the future and I can highly recommend her.

Yesterday I had my most recent of a long line of shoots with the force of nature that is Natasha Felix. Natasha has been away from the camera for a little while, but it appears that much like riding a bike you never forget how to model. Natasha turned up and made sure that she bought her "A" game.

She is wonderfully expressive and adaptable to many many styles. If you have not shot with this young lady I suggest that you do so. You will be amazed at the effort that she puts in to get you the shots that you want.

I finally got to shoot with Natasha this week and it was well worth the wait.

She arrived promptly and I met her at the station. She came prepared with the bag of clothes we had previously discussed. She is very friendly, bubbly and good company. We had a good laugh whilst working hard! She poses incredibly well without direction but takes instruction when required.

The 4 hours booked rushed by (always the sign of a good shoot in my opinion) and we worked through a number of ideas and studio sets.

I would thoroughly recommend Natasha to professional and hobbyist photographers alike!
