Certain people come into your life at times and make a difference. Claire is one of them. Her influence on my journey into modelling has been profound. She is incredibly artistic, imaginative and above all supportive. She has tons of enthusiasm and incredible drive. She constantly strives for perfection and to get the right shot. Often she sees an image which the rest of us don't and suddenly you are in the middle of it whilst she captures the shot. A brilliant photographer and brilliant person. .

I've been planning to work with Claire for quite some time now. She arranged everything and pre shoot communications were really good. She completely blew me away on the day of the shoot though with the amazing location she booked. She is very friendly and I felt so at ease with her. Not only she's good at directing but she was also very open to my ideas. The day went so quickly and I enjoyed working with Claire and others so much. I thoroughly recommend her.

Wow! What a lovely day I have just had with Claire her son and P.J . ( Purpleport model) on a photo shoot around London .

If you want to add that certain twist to your portfolio then make sure you book Claire!

What a warm friendly and truly professional photographer Claire Is .

Right from the beginning street scenes were set up and ready to go each shot flowing like a film to the next.

I can't wait to see the end results I know they will be as I say Delicious!

Thank you for an amazing shoot I hope we get to work together again soon!

Today I have had a very successful shoot with Claire.

The captures are exactly what we were after, Claire is an amazing photographer she has lots of great ideas and had some great props at hand to expand the variety of different shots. Claire works well with her surroundings to create the perfect atmosphere for the photos, also she made the best use of our time and had some great location ideas.

Claire is great to work with and and very easy to get along with, providing a very natural and comfortable atmosphere to work in when shooting.

Claire was such a pleasure to work with and would happily model for her again she also gave me some information on lighting and tips on photography as I had mentioned photography is a field I'd love to expand in.

Claire approached me what seems years ago to come up to gods own Yorkshire. She communicated well throughout and we decided on a location and a theme. Claire knew exactly what she wanted and provided the costume. The location chosen was excellent. The shoot was a breeze and time flew. I had the chance to meeet her family too with a trip to the local ice cream parlour. It is a long way to come from Bristol and I am flattered they made the trip up. The theme was a Victorian one which was ideal for my look and the location. The images received add to my portfolio and I am more than happy to recommend Claire to other models. Thanks Pip

Claire headhunted me for her Assassins creed shoot, as she wanted a grumpy git. A morning of shooting in Bristol city centre and some odd looks from passers by and we had the images that Claire wanted for the post production work she planned.

Claire is improving all the time and comes up with the maddest plans.

One to watch.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Claire, partner and son James. Claire likes to make sure you are relaxed and works to find a creative image. She is passionate about her photography and needs to make sure that her work is up to her high standard. Very friendly and great to work with, helping me to take up poses and to ensure that I looked in the correct direction. It was a fab shoot and we had the pleasure of a lovely inquisitive little boy who behaved impeccably well!!

Thank you for taking the time to drive to Wales for the collaborative shoot. I look forward to seeing the images! A great day indeed xx

I would highly recommend her to work with - grab the opportunity if you can.

I had the privilege of shooting with the absolutely lovely Claire Stevens yesterday - and what a productive day it was!! Although having never met before, we instantly got talking and Claire made me feel completely at ease.

Once we arrived at the location we got straight to shooting, and I was immediately impressed with her photography skills - getting the images perfect each time! She was not afraid to get involved in the branches and brambles in order to get the perfect shot, which I loved! Her enthusiasm was fantastic and we instantly clicked when working together, producing great shots from the get go.

I am thrilled with every image I have received from my shoot with Claire, and feel as though we could create many many more great photos together! I hope I have the pleasure of shooting with her again soon!

Had a short but sweet shoot with Claire today due to the weather turning bitterly cold. Claire was chatty, outgoing & friendly which made the shoot go very quickly & she was happy to crawl around on the floor to get the shot she needed. She's definitely a character & such fun!

Thanks Claire!

Claire and I had a shoot planned for a while and unfortunately the props hadn't arrived in time... so she came up with another plan... where she gets these ideas???!! but a pirate costume and some bemused dog walkers amounted to an amusing couple of hours of fun on the beach.

Claire is very easy going and great to work with

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Claire. Due to circumstances beyond our control we couldn't pursue the shoot we had initially planned but this did not stop Claire, she amazingly managed to improvise and come up with some new ideas for the shoot. Her enthusiasm is infectious and soon got me feeling excited about the new direction of the shoot. Really pleased with the shots I have seen so far, they are going to add something new to my Port. Highly recommended.

So, having done a few London shoots with Claire, when the opportunity arose to travel down to Wales to shoot at Margam Castle with Claire, another photographer and two other models the answer was always going to be...you bet! Covering a variety of styles with myself and the girls (including fantasy and bridal), shooting both outside in the local ruins and inside on the stunning staircase there, we ended up having a full day which was not just productive but all good fun throughout. Not just that but the early results are also looking to be up to Claire's usual high standards as expected. All in all a great shoot and as usual Claire is totally recommended! All good! :)

Viktor Shadows

Today I had an awesome shoot with Claire and another model, Mark333, it was also the first time I had a collaboration with them. Claire is very professional, full of creative and interesting ideas, easy to get along with, and super friendly.

The shoot itself was very productive and enjoyable, plus the location was beautiful! Claire kept making new great ideas during the shoot while looking for the best angles for each photo, achieving amazing results. She also listened to all suggestions from Mark or me and took them into account neatly. I would be more than glad to collaborate with her in the near future :)

Overall, I really recommend her!! Thank you so much for the shoot, Claire!!

Had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Claire recently at Eyebox in Bristol!

Been wanting to shoot with and meet Claire for a long time after communicating and hearing extremely good things about her and I was not disappointed.

Claire came to the shoot well prepared, brought beautiful dresses for me to wear and had imaginative ideas. She even allowed me to have an input and together we produced great results.

I could not ask for anymore from a shoot and I wish we had more time!

Absolutely loved working with this friendly, bubbly and fun lady.

Claire is definitely recommended and I hope we are able to shoot again in the future.

So, having shot with Claire a few times last year I knew that the latest shoot was going to be a fun one :)

That said, I wasn't wrong :)

Shooting solo with Claire at Gants Hill tube station in London and then again at great little location that she knows in the City with goth model Viktor Shadows, Claire again got some great results with the first of them, as usual, materialising the same evening.

Professional, with a great eye for a shot, top ideas and overall really fun to work with, Claire is totally recommended! No doubt there are plenty more shoots on the horizon and as far as I'm concerned the more the merrier. All good! (again) :)

I worked with Claire for the first time the other day alongside photographer Tony Cooney (Tt Visuals) at their impressive new studio in Bristol! It was out first time working together and Claire was such a great person to be aorund- full of fun and laughter, she lights up the whole room with her energy and spirit! We also had alot in common and I had such a lovely shoot with both Claire and Tony, shooting at a relaxed and enjoyable pace. I was so impressed with the studio and had a really enjoyable shoot. Thanks so much and I hope we work together again soon! Helen x

I had the privilege to work with Claire at one of my favourite ruins.

Claire is a phenomenal photographer and person, very down to earth and gave great direction. Pre shoot communication was great.

What can I say about the finished images..... blew my mind!

If you get the opportunity to work with Claire, do it! I can recommend her 100%.

Thank you so much Claire, hope to work with you again. Indi.

I had my first shoot with Claire today. From the moment I arrived I was made to feel welcome. She's great fun during a shoot but is very professional too. Today we did a steampunk theme and I am delighted with the images that I have seen so far. If you get chance to work with this lovely talented lady do it she will not disappoint.

Thanks again Claire for a lovely day and great to meet you both :)
