2nd Curtain Photography

Had the absolute pleasure of working with Nico after applying for one of her castings.

Nico was a delight to work and very welcoming when I arrived. This was a home shoot & the space was very clean & tidy & easy for any lighting setup.

We shot a number of outfits, styles & concepts & had soooo much fun. Nico poses fluently & with ease & is also very patient. Works very hard to make sure you get the shots you are looking for.

We even shot with Nico's ferret who made an appearence after my curiosity got the better of me (I was expecting it to be a rabbit :)) haha. Certainly takes after nico & no pose was too much trouble :)

Excellent, super fun shoot & I cannot recommend Nico highly enough.

Thank you Nico for an awesome shoot.

PGD Modelling and Photography Studios

Recently Nico put out a casting that really interested me, so after a little back and forth we set up a date and shot towards the theme of the casting.

It went really well, run smoothly and we got the perfect results. So much so that we have decided to turn this into an photographers event here at our studio on halloween.

This isnt the first time Ive worked with Nico and very sure it wont be the last time.

The reason for this is Nico is a very desirable model to work with. She produces results time after time, she has great communication and able to pose well or follow direction well. Her look, attitude, style and posing are always bang on.

I highly recommend Nico time and time again and if you havent had the chance to work with her yet, then get her booked in, you will not regret it!

6 out of 5 stars!

Had an AMAZING shoot with Nico today, the whole day was great fun and everything we created went well - Nico is super awesome to work with and we really got on the same wavelength for what we wanted to create together. She did an epic job at various skills and modelling, especially for video which is a further skill set from still photography. I would strongly recommend to anyone!

What an absolute freaking breathe of fresh air this lady is.

If I could describe Nico in just three words, it would be the following:

1. NOT

2. FREAKING

3. POSSIBLE

She is creative, beautiful, passionate, hilarious, flexible, strong and incredibly talented. She has a real eye for shape, lighting, and composition. She takes direction well, but poses beautifully on her own.

Nico is the first to work along side me for my Black Dress Project, and I don't think I coul dhave asked or a better partner for this first episode. Our looks really gelled so well, as did our personalities and skill sets.

Her communication is precise and regular, and I can't wait to start planning future events with her.

Thank you, Nico - Very highly recommended from me ♥

This was my first shoot with Nico and I hope it's not my last. The shoot was a two model shoot in a secured urbex location; pre-shoot comms were great, and in a nutshell the shoot itself was excellent.

Nico has a fluid posing style, she is graceful and athletic, she understands working with artificial and natural light, and she commits to every shot. We had some concepts that required a combination of movements and an element of timing to get the shot that we wanted, and Nico performed with no complaints, over and over with the same high level of effort until we had the shot. I couldn't have asked for more.

But on top of everything, Nico is a lovely person, she's great fun and has a tremendous sense of humour. Shooting with her today was an absolute pleasure! Fully recommended.

What a delightful bundle of energy. Not nearly as scary as I imagined. we had a wonderful shoot both inside and out at the Embankment Studio, making use of the woods and the derelict heavy plant which Nico climbed up in no time at all. She is flexible; literally and figuratively. Nico proposed the theme; Bad Barbie and we played with a few ideas beforehand which came together and worked well. A true collaboration I hope. We did a little cosplay; and Nico made a great Catniss and Lara Croft. Thanks for a lovely day.

I'm optimistic. Ludicrously so.

I knew Nico is a phenomenal model - that much is clear. I knew from friends that she is a glorious soul so I was prepared for a great shoot.

Nah, my expectations didn't even touch the sides!

Our first shoot was in response to Nico's 'baking' casting call. I could bang on for hours about it from start to finish - the start being a beautifully smiley warm welcome and the finish being me running away, late for an appointment, leaving Nico covered from head to toe in raw cake mix and sprinkles! I can sum our first shoot up quite simply . . . the most fun and rewarding shoot I've ever had!

Nico is an awesome ball of hugely positive energy, ideas and desires. She's a truly inspiring human to be around and it was a genuine privilege.

As well as the baking - catching falling egg yolks on camera (without thinking about using burst mode - what a nerk I am!!), throwing flour around as if she'd stolen it, pouring raw chocolate cake mix over herself and finally imploring me to "cover me in your sauce!" - we also shot some fabulous fashion. Nico is so easy to work with. She knows exactly what works and will bend over backwards, literally, to get the perfect shot.

We're talking about additional shoots and I simply cannot wait. Life is better with Nico in it and she's close enough to me that we can make it happen again and again!

True beauty, amazing athleticism, a fantastic sense of humour, wonderful imagination and so much glorious joie de vivre!

Nico cannot be recommended highly enough. Here's to many many increasingly mad and beautiful shoots xxx

I had my first shoot with the wonderful Nico Dee today, I was welcomed with a big friendly smile and a great cup of coffee.

After great pre comms together we got down to shooting. Nico was extremely professional and very talented in her modelling. Nico had some great ideas and explored my ideas too. Nico needs no direction But takes direction also. Nico is will to go the extra mile to get you the images you are after.

I highly recommended you book shoot. You will not be disappointed.

I look forward to our next shoot together.

Thanks Nico for an awesome shoot.

Had a second shoot with Nico yesterday at the Boardroom studio, this time a turtorial with Earl grey, as usual Nico's posing was superb, she did everything that was asked of her during the tutorial and worked so hard to get the images we wanted with hardly any direction and with so much energy, we ended up getting some of the best images I've ever taken.!! I could not recommend Nico and Earl Grey's tutorial enough, if you want brilliant creative images these make it happen.

Was great to see Nico again :)

This time doing a group shoot around dance at PGD Photography in Leicester.

I got some great portraits and we did some real cool dance poses and jumps.

Works hard to get you the shots and has only slightly less energy than the sun.

Cheers Nico :)

Worked alongside Nico at the Boardroom yesterday for a tutorial day and, as usual, she was fantastic. On time, more than prepared and organised and flowing from pose to pose.

Nico has a great amount of grace about her which really shows in her images and is very easygoing, a perfect person to have around on a tutorial day!

Between us, we ran through a series of different looks and styles, ramping up the creativity as we went, which not only meant we could teach a variety of styles but also showcased Nico's ability to transfer seamlessly between them.

So easy to work with and a pleasure each time!

A fantastic shoot with Nico Dee, her skills and fitness are extraordinary making difficult pose after pose and jumps as well. A delightful person as well and I enjoyed her company for the evening. I would love to work with her again in the not too distant future and I would highly recommend her to any photographer who wants something a bit special in their protfolio.

Kel at Studio Number 8

Nico came to Studio Number 8 for our first shoot together. After a lengthy SatNav inspired detour Nico arrived and we spent useful time planning out a series of sets to be shot. A quick period of selection from the studio wardrobe department saw her emerge ready for action. She is such a hardworking professional that an immediate momentum of quick fire shooting, quick fire clothes changes and quick fire changes of contexts ensured that the images turned from tens into hundreds as the minutes sped by. We eventually had around 3000 to choose from. Nico is the ultimate creative…….so easy to collaborate with and brimming with ideas. A beautiful model with fine features and a beautiful figure. Nico was fully involved in the post shoot selection of images and I was really really pleased with the outcomes. A lovely engaging character with just bags of everything that makes a good model an outstanding one. Comes 100% recommended from me. Thanks Nico.

I had the pure pleasure of meeting Nico at a group shoot recently, she emits wonderful energy and a love for what she does.

Shes bubbly and friendly but down to earth. Watching her work with other photographers was great, she knows exactly what she is doing and how to get a great shot. We also had a great laugh timing my disastrous bubble skills with her beautiful dancing, which i was very jealous of!

She also came along to assist with a reflector whilst I shot with a photographer and was so helpful with elevating my posing whilst being a great hype woman.

Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and id love to shoot with her!

Worked with Nico again at the latest Lensmaidens meet up, which was her first time attending and she is just an absolute pleasure. A pleasure to photograph with her great posing and luminous skin, a pleasure to speak to and a pleasure to watch model for others and generally have around.

I'm actually working with her again very soon and really cannot wait as I could happily take photos of her forevermore!

What a total star!

After a delay due to weather we finally got to hook up & do our location shoot. Nico is a joy to work with, bubbly & chatty & the shoot was great fun. Pre comms were excellent, her poses and dance moves were superb and we got lots of awesome images.

Thank you, Nico, for a fabulous shoot! :-)

HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

The Indie Stock

Nico attended a shoot with us this week and was great. She was patient and able to get into character with ease. Dynamic, patient and able to think for herself with little direction. It was a fun shoot and we'll be asking for Nico to return sometime soon.

RAV Photography

Had a duo shoot with Nico and her partner Ben, at their lovely home. Both were prepared with outfits and styling as per the mood board, and they were professional throughout. Came away with some lovely images, would highly recommend =)

As this is the fourth reference I'm writing for Nico, it would be fairly safe to assume I recommend her! We had another great shoot at my studio in Birmingham and as always I came away with a whole heap of varied and cool images. Nico is so unique in her modelling and very driven. The last time we worked together she said she would have perfected her handstands and she certainly had. She spent about half of the shoot upside down. I don't tend to work with the same model this many times, but Nico always brings so much creativity to the shoots that I keep getting her back. I'm also always grateful for her attention to detail and commitment to making the images as good as possible. Plus she is great to hang out with and there's certainly never a dull moment! Nico also took some self portraits whilst she was at the studio and I'm excited to see her progression as a photographer as well as a model!

My highest recommendations. And I have been assured freestanding handstands are next on the list so there will definitely be a fifth shoot!

Had another great shoot with Nico at the Natural Light Spaces yesterday. The 6 hours fled by and Nico worked tirelessly throughout the shoot producing one great picture after another. She is a superb model and you can be assured of getting great pictures every time when you work with her. Looking forward to our next shoot together
