Today was my first time working with Natasha :) Pre comms were brillant. This shoot was also my first remote shoot. Natasha has the perfect setup in her own studio with a new Canon 90D, studio light, backdrops etc. All I needed to for it to work was reliable BB and some patience. The shoot itself went without any flaws, I was familiar with the Canon Software, which enabled me to have full control of the camera, Aperature, Speed, ISO & Focus Points. Live View was used and focus was spot on for all but a few shots. Natasha is fantastic to work with, calm and professional but also fun. I will definitely be working with Natasha again in the coming weeks. I highly recommend Natasha and her hard work shines through in our images today. :)

Natasha responded to a casting, where I was looking for models to explore the possibility of me creating images remotely by using the models equipment over the internet.

In this instance Natasha was able to tether her DSLR to her Mac in her home studio in Guiseley and I was able to take control of her computer and direct the shoot from my home in Huddersfield.

Natasha put a huge amount of effort and time into researching how to achieve this at her end. During the shoot we experienced a few technical issues but together we pulled it together and we ended up with some very pleasing results.

I was still able to direct the shoot explaining what backgrounds I would like and suggesting lighting setups. Natasha showed her obvious experience in achieving exactly what I was wanting very efficiently.

I was offered a choice of lenses, and given free range to chose outfits and concepts.

Posing was slower than normal due to slight lagging at times with the software but we still managed to take a good number of images.

I can't commend Natasha enough for all the effort that she has put into this shoot, and the trust she put into me to try this concept with her.

I also gave Natasha the choice to edit any images she wished, and I have to say I think her edits will give me a challenge to equal.

If you get a chance to try this with her, I really recommend you give it a go..... it's a little strange, but it means that lockdown doesn't mean that photography has to stop.

In summary - what a fantastic day... with a fantastic model and all round creative person.

My first opportunity to shoot with Natasha, an experience well worth the wait.

There was minimal need to direct as she intuitively struck the pose, very professional and keen that we (group shoot) all got the images we wanted. The time just flew by so will be keen to shoot again when she next comes down this way.

Natasha arrived early and was ready to get started, she a dressed the photographers of how she likes to shoot which really encouraged communication between everyone. Natasha's poses were amazing and everyone captured fantastic images. We can't wait to work with Natasha again . 100% recommend and see you again soon.

I met Natasha for the first time at a group shoot at Alastair Currell's studio.

She is totally awesome: Enthusiastic, and full and energy, she would take the photographers' idea and try them, discuss them, extend them, and suggest variations to get the best images. Nothing was too much work, she went all-out to get the best result.

I'm thrilled with the images I came away with, and will definitely be working with her again when I get the chance.

Fantastic.

At last…due to the cancellation of the Photography Show :-( and thanks to a rapidly organised shoot by Alastair Currill, I finally managed to work with Natasha :-) It’s only taken about seven years…late to the party as usual!

Not only is Natasha a very beautiful, talented and erudite model, she is a very kind, warm and beautiful person.

She poses effortlessly and her knowledge of light and angles ensure you get great images, giving 100% to the shoot and very much working with the photographer.

It goes without saying that I would recommend Natasha 100% to any photographer, both beginner and experienced.

Thanks again Natasha, I hope our paths cross again in the near future :-).

How lucky I was to work with this talented model and lady, after a late cancellations of the photography show, Alastair Currill got her booked for an 3 hour 6 persons group shoot at his studio, which I grabbed with both hands and camera at the ready, what to say about this talented model and lady, she is so lovely to work with and chat to,

We covered a load of different sets from portrait to Art nude and lingerie.

Would be really lovely to work with this lovely lady again, hopefully In the future.

Thank agreeing to work and come down to us.

100% recommend to everyone on here.

Had a tutorial 1-2-1 shoot with Natahsa today at her studio. For all her experience in the modelling industry, I found Natasha one of the most helpful, intelligent, receptive and keen models I've had the pleasure of working with. The tutorial was structured and explained in easy to follow steps and, whilst I was nervous to start with Natasha had a way about her of putting people at ease.

I came away delighted with the progress and images we achieved and some useful ideas to work on moving forward.

I can't recommend working with Natasha enough and would throughly recommend a tutorial if anyone is undecided. You won't regret doing it.

Recommend 100% and would love to work with Natasha again if our paths ever cross.

Many Thanks and good luck at The Photography Show.

This was my third shoot with Natasha and she continues to excel in every way. She is a lovely lady with a personality to match. Working with Natasha is like working with a close friend. She is so open and creative with her ideas and often knows what I want before I do.

We created over 17 different looks and combinations all of which resulted in so many stunning images making it difficult which to choose. Every minute was creative and productive. Natasha is a beautiful lady at the very top of her profession and her natural ability shines through. Working with Natasha simply guarantees great results. Thank you Natasha for a lovely afternoon. 100% recommended!

Have been meaning to shoot with the marvelous Natasha for a while now and finally got the chance, in a 1:1 workshop. What a great model; professional, humourous, relaxed and very photogenic. Shares her knowledge with great generosity and clarity. Poses with such grace and style.

Natasha's home studio is very well equipped, comfortable and easy to use.

We piled through 4 different styles of shoot and got some really cool images.

I can highly recommend Natasha's workshop and of course Natasha herself as a model. *****

Natasha has been on my 'Need to shoot with' list for about four years, and I finally got the opportunity to shoot with her today on her trip to Newmarket.

Well what can I say that hasn't already been said? Natasha is a stunning, intelligent lady and a fantastic model and tutor.

We discussed the shoot prior to the day and again had a brief chat about what I was trying to achieve from the shoot and the lighting and I was not disappointed. Natasha, just got on with it and hit the poses. She was happy to follow any instructions I put forward, but there was little need for me to do this.

We used a couple of sets and I have some fantastic images from the set.

Highly recommended and I will certainly be looking to shoot with Natasha again in the not to distant future.

I guess you could say that this was my 3rd shoot with Natasha if you count a week in Spain shared with 2 other photographers as one shoot. The second was an all too short but fantastic Xmas do at Photofinca Studios hosted by Steve Lowery. This one was all for me & well worth the trip, a true pro, all ready when I arrived a quick coffee & catch up then in too it at my slow pace. Natasha knows her studio inside out, has super outfits, great lighting & sets & on top of that her beauty plus her fantastic modelling was a joy to behold. I hope I'm well enough to return & repeat this dream of a day.

Many thanks Natasha.

We spent a day of combined tutorial and shooting with Natasha and found both aspects very productive and enjoyable. She simply and clearly explained theory with particular reference to practical ways she applied it and then set up and let us shoot with various lighting setups, backgrounds and styles. Shoot styles included portrait, art nude and boudoir. She concluded the tutorial with hints on editing and provided clear documentation to refresh our memories of what we had learned.

As a model, Natasha is amazing. We love the pictures we got and look forward to a chance to shoot with her again. As a tutor, she was clear and helpful. As a person to spend a day with, she was a delight.

Amazing first shoot with Natasha. Showed up on time and fully loaded with two suitcases of outfits and a stunning collection of amazing jewelery. We did a shoot in a swimming pool that i setup in my studio and created a stunning collection of images.

Natasha had great comms, was highly professional, extremely well presented and stunning to work with in every way. Very easy going and very easy to talk to.

I would highly recommend Natasha, absolute class.

Another fantastic shoot with Natasha J Bella. Easy communication, great to work with and full of ideas. Always a pleasure working with her, given her versatility and range of levels and styles there is always something different from every shoot!

Would highly recommend to any photographer,

I had the pleasure of spending the day shooting with Natasha yesterday, having booked in with her fairly last minute. I found her to be an excellent model and very easy to work with

We worked in her studio which was well a well equiped and versitile space, with lots of options for shooting different styles (in addition to being a very good model, she is an excellent host).

Very keen to work with her again in the future...

...although I do have a lot of editing to get through now...

I have wanted to shoot Natasha for 3yrs since meeting her at The Photography Show in Birmingham. I attended her workshop at C&L Studios Wallasey, eventually this year.

Natasha is fun, highly intelligent, beautiful, a great presenter, has knowledge of the modelling business from the models perspective and also the photographers as she can also handle cameras.

You will not be disappointed and will get some fantastic shots of a beautiful model and a great day learning more about model shoots, no matter what your skill level is. Highly recommended. Mike

Ist shoot with Natasha at a studio day at studio 2 in Ryde. Brilliant productive and instructive shoot. Natasha is not only a joy to work with but an experienced model with a great understanding of matching poses with lighting. She takes instruction and also provides her own ideas. The best shoots are always when there is good cooperation and inspiration between photographer and model, you won't do better than shoot with Natasha. Hurry back and be sure to save a days shoot for me

Apologies for the lateness of this reference, I had the pleasure of photographing Natasha at her studio day here on the Isle of wight, she is an absolute delight to work with, great fun with a great sense of humour. He is more than happy to pose herself, and know exactly how to pose, and set up the lights if necessary. I got lots of absolutely stunning images of Natasha, I cannot recommend her highly enough.
