Pre shoot communication was excellent.

Octavia was great infront of the camera, both at posing on her own accord and also taking direction.

Alongside this the general shoot conversation was absolutely lovely.

I have no hesitation in recommending Octavia to other photographers!!

I shot with Octavia and their cosplay group at last month's MCM may comiccon 2018. Nearly got lost in the big crowds but luckily found them.

Octavia had some great ideas and the group helped out immensely and even kept their composure in the extreme heat and wind by the docks. I got more than enough photos and had a great time.

Octavias communication was excellent and would definitely work with them again and would recommend them.

This was my second shoot with Arabella, although not the shoot that was originally planned due to adverse weather, changed from a location to home studio (location shoot only postponed).

Arabella is very warm and friendly, along with being very professional, the time just flew by. She turned up with a number of different outfits that enabled a number of looks and personas, takes direction well but also due to her experience is also able to add her own poses and give some of her own ideas.

Highly recommended and can’t wait to do our location shoot in the near future.

Arabella is what all of us photographers wish we saw on every shoot, totally professional with her communications, time keeping and work ethic. To add to the joy she listens intently, follows direction perfectly and adds inspiration and humour along the way. Quite the chameleon as well, not only with her use of character wigs, but also able to portray demure and sultry versions of herself with ease. I can't wait to shoot again, heartily recommended.

Excellent and effortless shoot with Octavia. She has such a distinctive look, with the most exciting animé eyes, elegant features and skin tone. I was looking to produce sensual informal portraits on our session, but Octavia would be equally at home in formal fashion shoots, street, boudoir, or left-field alternative. Her make up is to a very high standard and she was totally prepared. Octavia is a highly intelligent and interesting person to work with and talk to. She has a strong creative streak and deserves collaborations and projects that unleash this. My camera and Octavia developed their own quick-fire rapport, so all I had to do was push the button and make tea (Earl Grey with milk). Highly recommended.

This was my first shoot with Arabella and it was a fantastic shoot. Pre-shoot communication were excellent and fully discussed the shoot/theme. Arabella came fully prepared for the shoot, with hair and makeup already done to a very high standard and dressed for the theme discussed, but also with additional outfits for the follow on parts of the shoot.

Fully professional during the shoot taking directions but also putting ideas forward to help obtain a fantastic result. She is also bubbly and great fun to work with. She is very skilled with many ideas, looking forward to working with her again and highly recommend her.

Arabella and myself started organizing a shoot few months in advanced. It took a bit of planning because she was so far away, but she had absolutely no problems travelling 2 hours per trip to get to the shoot. She is very responsive to messages and ideas and have a lot of different looks that will suit any photographer needs.

The shoot itself went really well. Although she have not done too many shoots yet, she is very friendly and has a real youthful energy with high spirits. It's refreshing to have someone that appreciates the photos and not just doing it for the money. Having shot a lot of very experienced models in the past, I had never felt at any point that I was shooting a less experienced model.

Last but not least, she has a lovely American accent and the images are nothing short of amazing

Arabella was a delight to work with, and to talk with, and had lots of ideas and posed brilliantly without the need for direction, making my job a breeze! Highly recommended and look forward to future collaborations!

Arabella is very photogenic and is also bright, articulate and creative. In addition she is well-organised, keeping in constant touch with me as we were organising the shoot due to bad weather forecasts. However on the day itself we managed to avoid the rain and everything ran like clockwork, time just flew by! Very much recommended.
