So happy to have worked twice with this wonderful human and model now. Our second time working together was from the beautiful Hammerwood Place with photographer JonC and also model Valentina.art(LENza).

Nausicaa is on of the most talented, down-to-earth and easy-to-work models you'll get to work with!

Book her ASAP :D

My second shoot with Nausicaa was every bit as good as our first, but on a slightly more epic scale! A full day shoot with two other amazing models, exclusive use of a historic house, a wide ranging set of solos, duos and trios from elegant fashion, through to edgy rock chick and timeless classic art poses produced a day that was relaxed and enjoyable as it was productive and creative. Nausicaa is the perfect model. Professional, an amazing look and form, fluid and graceful (and where required edgy and grungy!) posing, a great set of on brief outfits and accessories, and a relaxed and friendly demeanour. Very highly recommended, and I hope to get the opportunity to work with you again on an equally (or more so) epic shoot next year!

Nausicaa is a wonderful model to work with. She was totally professional from our initial contact to the final shot. I cannot recommend Nausicaa highly enough. I look forward to more shoots in the future.

Nausicaa is a brilliant model - in fact better than that -she's a brilliant person to photograph and work with. Calm and considered.

My favourite models are the ones who make you feel like you are shooting portraits of them rather than running through the poses served up to a hundred photographers....

It takes skill and intelligence.

So anyway - thank you Nausicaa and can only recommend her highly.

I had a fantastic time working with Elena!

Pre-coms were efficient, she arrived well prepared, and from start to finish her modelling felt natural, invested and flawless. Her understanding of photography and many ideas were really useful too.

I am really looking forward to shooting with her again.

I had a wonderful shoot with Elena (NausicaaYami). I found her very exciting to work with, and the two sets/concepts we worked on, we explored and delved into the persona of the model / character.

Elena is very relaxed in herself, and is very natural in front of the camera, and has the presence to create strong looks.

Am looking forward to working on the images, and hopefully, working with Elena again in the future. Highly recommended

Nausicaa Yami is the best model I have ever worked with.

Elena aka NausicaaYami is a dream to work with for me as she has a great look and style and just the sort of ability to create a cool mood. Very professional in terms of shoot arrangements etc but also hard working with a great attitude and all this on the day when it was 40c at times. That is quite a test! I'm looking forward to shooting with her again :)

Working with Nausica Yami was an utterly wonderful experience. Not only was she brilliant in realising my creative directions, she made it all look effortless with her friendly and engaging personality.

We spent at least half the shoot simply talking about life and art, building a rapport that shines across all of the shots we created.

My preferred style is candid and relaxed, with bursts of shooting, which were echoed beautifully on that blisteringly hot day. What we created was genuinely unique and special.

A truly wonderful model, spirit and person. I genuinely look forward to working with you again in the near future.

I applied for a casting from NausicaaYami, and was so glad I did! She was flexible about finding a time that worked, was very clear and quick in comms, and was completely ready when I turned up. Supremely professional.

And friendly. Coffee on arrival, great conversation, laugher throughout. Time just flew by.

Then, as a model, wonderful! Pretty, talented, experienced, posed with effortless skill and beauty. And patient with my efforts to suggest! Didn’t thump me as I mansplained how to model. I’ve come away with a serious problem - what do I do with all the wonderful images we made?

In summary, a professional, wonderfully talented model and a lovely person. I could not recommend her more highly.

Had a great shoot with NausicaaYami today. Pre-shoot communication was effortless and a shoot was booked in no time at all. NausicaaYami modelled some beautiful lingerie for me, she was very helpful in helping me achieve the shots I wanted and her modelling is second to none.

I would wholeheartedly recommend working with NausicaaYami if you get the opportunity. The shoot flew by and she has inspired me to become a better photographer. :-).

An absolutely fabulous shoot with NausicaaYami. Charming, intelligent and fantastic model to collaborate with. She is superbly well organised and hit her stride immediately for terrific images from the start. It was all flawless and I am very grateful to have been able to work with her.

Had a lovely shoot with Elena a few weeks ago.....she visits Italy frequently and our pre shoot comms were simple and completely effective

We met as arranged and managed to shoot in 3 locations in our 4 hours together

Elena poses like a dream...... full of elegance, style and complete professionalism........she was great company throughout and I hope we can get together again soon

I very much enjoyed our shoot and have no hesitation in recommending her without reservation..........grazie mille Elena e alla prossima

This was my first time working with Elena and, hopefully, I'll get to work with her again because she is terrific. She came up from London and despite a the train journey and a taxi ride, that took three times as long as it should have, she arrived fresh and ready to go. She had brought everything I requested.

We worked on various ideas and I have an abundance of excellent images to process.

Elena is very professional in her organisation and the way she works but still great fun to spend time with.

Highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with Nausicaa yesterday and I cannot Express how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with such an amazing model. This was my 5th photoshoot with a professional model in the UK, and I can already tell that it will always remain as one of my favorite. As an amateur photographer, Nausicaa received me with open arms and treated in such a professional way that made me feel like if I have been a professional photographer all my life. She is just amazing, as a profesional model & as a person. She is very professional, experienced & very easy going. She knows al her best angles, and is very fluid in posing, very versatile. During the shoot, she is very joyful and makes doing the work very enjoyable. The pre-communication, the discussion of style, outfit, etc, was very professional and efficient. Definitely, I'm looking forward to work with her again to keep creating some amazing images. I can't wait to return from my vacations and start planning another shoot with her.

Very Highly Recommended.

Had a terrific first half shoot with Nausicca at Aura photographic studio.Pre comms where excellent and She arrived at the station in plenty of time. We worked through a number of sets - from art nude to fashion and portraits where Nausicca worked hard to get the shots I was looking for . She is fun and hardworking and time flew by. As usual I didn't manage to get half the stuff I had in mind done - so looking forwards to another shoot later in the year. Highly recommended :)

On a trip to England a month ago I shot with 4 models, all new to me and all wonderful. Nausicaa, who has a look to die for, was one of them. Pre-shoot communication with her was excellent, and she provided her customized release form which I welcomed and appreciated. Lacking any references at the time on PP I was grateful for this hugely popular model’s willingness to shoot and her expressing every expectation of a great shoot with me. Our shoot was at Burford Manor and we were joined on the day with Irida S and photographer Tim Pile with whom I have collaborated with in the past. As an American I’m just so envious of English venues like Burford Manor in which to shoot! Tim and I mostly worked separately and Nausicaa and Irida, trading off every hour though we also did some duos with both. It was a great day. Nausicaa converses easily, takes direction readily, and has a gorgeous modeling flow, knowing how to show off her exceptionally beautiful form to best advantage. I admit it, I was enthralled! I couldn’t be happier with how thrilling this day was. Highest recommendation—she’s worth coming from afar to work with, and I hope to do so again in the future. I very much hope she will come to the US as well. :-)

Had my first shoot with Nausicaa and wow, what an excellent shoot. I kept this one quite open for ideas to be flexible and so glad I did.

She is so easy to chat to and bounce idea around with. She knows how to create an image and has that look which is so incredibly rare, balancing both sensuality and attitude. Many think they have it, but few actually do.

I have so many shots that I need to edit, so am going to be quite some time in post production :)

Can't recommend Nausicaa enough, hopefully we get to work together again in the future

Nausicaa is just an outstanding model and all round wonderful human! She is professional, experienced, fluid in posing, and fully focused on producing great images, but at the same time relaxed, friendly and just great to be on set with. All the basics were of course spot on - communications, arrived early, wide range of absolutely on brief outfits, posing both free style and to direction perfect, but she brings so much more. A joy to work with, and we created some great images together. We are already planning our next shoot,. Very highly recommended,

Thomas Holm

I have a tough time digging up enough superlatives for this review:

I booked Nausicaa for a private workshop in Lanzarote over 3 days, and we did an extra day of shooting.

Pre-shoot comms were immaculate, and so were all the different shots we did, both indoor and outdoor, regardless of the weather.

Her performance was stellar, and she is among the best 10 people I have ever worked with (so among a very select collection of awesomeness).

The images we have created are spectacular, and you will surely see a lot of them over time - there are just so many, so it will tame a long time to edit.

But wait, there is more:

She is also an incredibly kind person with a great sense of humor, and she's a great conversationalist.

Incidentally, we have already set up another workshop together (in Italy in late May 22).

I really can't recommend working with her enough.
