It was great to be working with Nikki again, it had been 4 years since our last shoot but you wouldn't have thought it. She was great fun to work with, She was up for everyones ideas on the shoot. She even brought outfits that suits the theme of the group shoot. Really can't wait to work with her again soon . Well I say works again soon she impressed our regulars at the studio so much we already have our next group shoot booked. Highly Recommend

Nikita had been booked for a studio session with my photography students, in a few cases, the first time shooting with a professional model.

She was totally relaxed and happy to help with the poses and ideas, it isn't easy working with 4 photographers, but she was patient with us all, totally professional and looking at the shots after the session, we had a good range of shots and styles. Considering we had only a two hour session we got a lot done, clothing changes, backgrounds and lighting.

Friendly, and totally professional...with a lovely personality.... looking forward to working with her again. Thanks Nikita for a good shoot.

I met Nikita at a group shoot we did in Bourton on the water recently, Nikita was great to work with, made taking the photos easy and was happy to accommodate our ideas. I highly recommend Nikita and im looking forward to working again with her next month.

Thanks for some great photos Nikita :-)

My first shoot after a year of lockdown - so of course I'm going to book Nikita - she's wonderful!

Endless patience while I messed about with my 40 year old large format (5"x4" film) camera. Big change for me to go back to shooting film after a break of ten years, and I picked the hardest type of film camera. Great results on the shots I've developed so far, and mostly due to Nikita.

We've shot many times, and I consider her one of the really great models. Recommended for any photographer with any level of experience. Great company for a day driving round looking for locations and getting lost as well...

Had a second chance to work with the lovely Nikita Banana this time at her place and it was every bit as good as the first time. Nikita is simply a joy to work with. She indulged me with some indoor portraits and then we shot outdoors in Cardiff's lovely gardens.

I'm absolutely thrilled with how the photos turned out. Shooting with Nikita is a wonderful experience and I hope it's one I get to experience again soon.

Of course, Nikita Banana comes with the highest possible recommendation. She's awesome! :-)

I was fortunate enough to have my first shoot with the lovely Nikita this week after making contact.

Having been a fan of her work for some years now prior to her break from PP, I was really excited to be able to collaborate together on something.

And man, what an awesome shoot! A very friendly and bubbly person, Nikita is easy to talk to and it became apparent very quickly that she was going to be a lot of fun to work with. Her pre shoot comms were prompt, helpful and organised and she came to the shoot fully prepared with some beautiful outfits and makeup done.

We worked on a variety of weird and wonderful themes and despite a sudden bout of unfortunate rain (and quite a nip in the air), Nikita was nothing but a consummate professional and worked hard to see our set through to the end. Very open to weird ideas and suggestions, her beautiful posing flowed effortlessly throughout and even when I asked her to lie down in the soggy moss, she didn't bat an eyelid.

As some of my stranger ideas take a bit of preparation, there's often a lot of faffing about with props. Thankfully this didn't bother Nikita in the slightest and she was happy to help me set things up while we chatted and had a laugh. During the shooting process she was open to direction but to be honest, didn't really need any. We got some absolutely fantastic images and I can't wait to show her the finished results!

I had a wonderful day working with Nikita despite the rain's best efforts to thwart us and I couldn't recommend her highly enough. A beautiful person both inside and out, she's a hard worker who clearly takes great enjoyment and pride in what she does. I hope to have many more shoots with this lovely lady in the future and would happily recommend her to anyone.

Thanks for such a great shoot Nikita!

I had the enormous pleasure of a socially-distanced photoshoot with the lovely Nikita, my first since lockdown started. Not much needs to be said about how amazing and professional a model she is, so I shall conclude with saying that I found her very easygoing, friendly and engaging. I'd love to photograph her again. Thank you!

I'm always excited when I shoot Pixie as I know she delivers, always, great poses and is joy to work with. This time though, well something rather magical happen and we had our best shoot ever. So, so may good images it's a crime to edit them down. Ours was my penultimate studio shoot of 2018 so certainly ending the year on a high! Thanks Pixie, look forward to working together in 2019 :)

Pixie has a look that shouts "Perfect images ready and waiting." I love working with her. It is relaxing, fun and I never fail to get results I am proud of. She always has some great outfits and this time it was an amazing coral pink swimsuit. Yesterday, after a three hour shoot, the latest of many, I was aready thinking what we might try the next time. Thanks Pixie, Happy Xmas.

Had an amazing shoot with Miss Pixie today at Paul’s Studio. Miss P was lovely to get along with and very professional. The 2 hours flew by and we had a very varied shoot, she was willing to try different styles and I couldn’t have been happier. The result was a fantastic 2 hours and I came away with many great shots. Many thanks and hope to do a second shoot soon. I definitely recommend.

I have worked with Miss Pixie from time to time over the past 10 years. She NEVER disappoints. I repeatedly asked myself during today's shoot why I have not worked with her more regularly.

Just study that remarkable physique and the way in which our Pixie is able to create every possible concave and convex curve with it and you will be spellbound. I was, I am and I always will be.

I do not have to explicate at length - just look at our images.

I am in this game for fun and today I had fun - I am still buzzing.

Resolution - I am going to work with this exceptional model for at least one day a year for the rest of my photographic life.

I had another truly wonderful shoot with the lovely Miss Pixie during Paul's Studio Wales Weekend recently. Miss Pixie is a truly gifted professional, producing innovative poses across a wide range of genres. She is courteous and great fun to work with, indeed a true lady in every sense of the word.

Our shoot was thoroughly enjoyable and I very much look forward to working with her again. I highly recommend her to any photographer!

It was glad to find out I was shooting with Miss Pixie on the Wales weekend.

As always, she was helpful, great fun to work with and she even managed to make sense of my vague directions, and we ended up with a lot of good images.

I would recommend Miss Pixie to any photographer and expect to work with her again.

This was my first shoot with Miss Pixie, a shoot that has taken over a year to arrange and which the weather tried hard to disrupt. It failed thanks in part to Pixie's dedication to giving me the best shoot she could.

Pre-shoot communications were excellent and constructive. We agreed to a beach shoot in her area, with the hope we could catch the golden hour. By the time the day arrived we knew it would be touch and go with the weather but we were both keen to give it a go.

Pixie was of course ready and waiting for me when I collected her, greeting me with a big smile.

During the shoot Miss Pixie was every bit the professional, hard working model. She was also a lovely person, easy to work with, good company, personable, beautiful, statuesque and poses gracefully and easily.

Despite the weather, we still managed some fine images.

Recommended? - yes indeed and without a moment's hesitation.

Pixie - Thank you for making this a fine first shoot despite the rain and wind. I hope we can soon arrange a 'Part 2', this time with better conditions.

Many moons ago when dinosurs still roamed the earth and a packet of Jaffa cakes still cost less than 50p Miss Pixie and I made pictures, we did this a lot, so many times that I actually cannot remember how many, at least ten times. Every shoot was more than just fun and full of energy we got some amazing images I still treasure to this day. Pixie was and is one of the best models I have ever worked with, If she is half the model whe was eight years ago today then you really should work with her.

Vacia

A very quick but productive and relaxed fun shoot all thanks to a receptive and thoroughly professional model. Thank you and I hope we get to shoot together again soon.

Had another great shoot with Miss Pixie at the Scarlet Door studio. A short session but we managed to nail a number of good of great shots.

Always a great pleasure to shoot with - highly recommended.

Pixie came up to London for a couple of days and shot with Ali Brooks at the Theatro Penthouse.

They work so well together; it's always a joy to shoot them.

Pixie also allowed me to drag her off to some railway arches to shoot her wonderful latex dress and as always needed little to no direction as you would expect from such a professional model.

I'd be happy to shoot Pixie until my shutter finger fell off!
