Andromeda is brilliant to work with, she flows through poses without direction and communicates her look well. She handled hair/makeup/styling on our shoot and did a great job.

Would definitely work with her again on other projects.

Always good when someone does something out of their comfort zone and does a Zoom shoot! Pre comms were great and comms during the shoot were great too. Just a lovely human to photograph.

It was an absolute pleasure to shoot with Alex! She made the most beautiful headpieces for our shoot and her makeup and styling was exceptional. She is a natural in front of the camera, bringing so many wonderful poses and creative ideas but also very willing to take direction. It was a really fun and relaxed shoot and we produced some magical images together. I would highly recommend her, I loved shooting with her and am excited to shoot with her again in the future!

Comms with Philee for a TFP shoot at her home in the Devonshire countryside were prompt and clear and we agreed a look that fitted with her stated theme and preferences. She was ready on time despite the extensive make-up required for her 'look' and she appears to have a very large collection of wigs, headdresses, and outfits.

As a former photographer she was able to make worthwhile suggestions for places within the garden and suitable poses that fitted her theme. It was good workinmg with her and she is recommended.

Had a great shoot in a beautiful cottage garden as arranged.

Alex was good with direction and the finished shots were excellent.

A specialised genre, but would recommend if you wanted to try something different.

I shot with Alex back last month and had an absolutely wonderful experience, before the shoot she has brilliant ideas and communication. On the day Alex was on time, with an awesome look which we had talked about prior as well as giving her advice on shots. Highly recommend working with her!

Creativity Personified! When I first contacted Alex (AKA Philee The Elf) I knew this would be an enjoyable collaboration . She had arranged to shoot a couple of head dresses on loan, with her unique look, based around the shironuri, Japanese Doll, fashion. We met at the agreed time, with plenty of our message plans coming to life. Alex is welcoming, polite, eloquent capable and very talented. Despite the inclement weather we headed out to the local woods and set up. The place Alex had chosen was just perfect for the look we both wanted and our ideas quickly came together. We shot her first style, with the aid of her friend assisting me with lighting when needed. The second ‘ook also flowed easily and if it wasn’t for the rain, I’m sure we could have continued way beyond the original time prediction. I couldn’t wait to download the shots and get in to the editing process with this collection of beautiful images. Less than 24hrs later, I had nearly 100 creations edited and uploaded in Full Resolution. I’m pleased to say that Alex, the Designer and myself were extremely proud of what we had jointly achieved. Of course I would recommend Alex, without a doubt. Getting those shots in the forrest was like: ‘Elf and Safety gone mad’ ! Hope to work with you again Alex. Best wishes for your future adventures.

A lot of model portfolios catch my eye but I always think about what themes and concepts could work before I arrange a shoot. With Alex, it was a no-brainer because she has such a strong look already and so I was really excited that she agreed to the shoot. Our shared love of Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland series also meant that we were pretty much on the same wavelength from the outset.

Pre-shoot comms were perfect and she was all made up and dressed for the first look by the time I arrived. She posed effortlessly and hardly needed any direction at all. Despite only starting to model last year, she is clearly very confident and experienced already. Changing into the second costume with new makeup was really quick and we were able to get our shots really efficiently. There are so many keepers!

I have absolutely no hesitation to recommend Alex and even though she will be moving to Devon shortly, I would really love to shoot with her again. I'm already dreaming of a shoot in Wistman's Wood!

Thanks Alex!

Worked with PhileeTheElf Aka Alex many times, Always been a joy to work with and is uba talented!

Her ability to pose is flawless as is he way with outfits and make up and also has a great eye for picking locations.

She is very knowledgeable of photography with experience in the filed and has also taught me a lot about the art of portrait photography being the first model I've worked with.

I'm internally grateful to this brilliant alternative model and will always be excited to worth with again!

Also a very welcoming host that makes a blinding cup of tea!

Thank you Alex!

Had the loveliest photoshoot with Alex (PhileeTheElf) we did two gorgeous shironuri fashion looks, Alex moved with grace and ease, not only is she an amazing model she is extremely friendly. Her makeup was beautifully done and she didn’t mind how long it took me to set up or do tester shots.

She’s super friendly and she’s rather chatty like me, no point of the shoot felt awkward which was good.

As soon as I got to her she made me feel extremely welcome and offered me a drink (plus she has adorable dogs which is a bonus)

But if you want to shoot with her and live in or around London do so before March as she is moving, she’s not a model you want to miss out on

I would highly recommend, her style is gorgeous and unique and she’s an all round precious gem

Just had my first shoot with Alex, her pre shoot com's were impeccable, Alex has a unique artistic Japanese make up style (Shironuri)which was refreshingly different and married to her wardrobe choice created a magical feel to the images. Alex went through her poses fluidly and was open to ideas. She is professional, relaxed and fun to work with from start to finish, I can highly recommend her 100% and would definitely work with her again.

Thanks for a great shoo tAlex can't wait to download image

I wanted to have a shoot with Alex for a long time, it is very rare to find someone so creative and talented !!

I absolutely love her unique style ! Shironuri is quite an exquisite style and it is challenging to do the makeup and pose in it, but Alex was absolutely effortless in it.

Her expressions were spot on. I didn't have to give much directions for the poses and we wrapped the shoot faster than we expected.

She was extremely polite and was very professional.

It was an absolute delight, can't wait to edit the photos and show it to you all !!

Absolutely recommended !!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alex on a collaboration shoot this week.

Alex was great before the shoot; agreeing what we were going to do and when, where etc was very easy to sort out.

Alex has an absolutely fabulous style across wardrobe, make up and posing and it was brilliant to work with someone who has such a different look.

On the day we got along great, she’s fabulous company, really easy to work with and works hard to get the best possible images. Her posing is spot on and she took what little direction was needed very well.

I had the most enjoyable time on the shoot and would love to work with Alex again. I can’t recommend her high enough. If you get the chance you should definitely work with this amazingly talented and wonderful model.

I worked with PhileeTheElf today on a shoot. She communicated well before and during the shoot. I look forward to working with her again.

I highly recommend working with Phileetheelf. The communication leading to the shoot was very efficient and professional. On shoot she had a very good sense of her bodys' architecture in space and thus gave me shot after shot of stunning poses. I really enjoyed working with this lovely creative person. She was also a wonderful host, welcoming and collaborative. I look forward to working with her again.

It's always good to work with a creative on the same wave length. We had great communication pre shoot and were both in agreement of what we wanted from the shoot beforehand.

This allowed Alex and I to cover a lot of ground in the two hours we were shooting today, including two unique looks each with their own make up.

There was a great balance of shots we both wanted mixed with trying out some avant garde poses.

The time sped by and I have no hesitation to recommend this very creative, polite and professional model.

Worked with Philee for the first time and it was awesome, she is such a lovely person to work with an amazing artist with such creative approach and makeup skills to a very high standard, working with Philee was so easy and creative as the poses were elegant and seemed like she is born to pose such elegantly and it was such a smooth transition between poses and with so much ease that it was incredible that i was amazed and impressed at the same time.

Philee is not only a lovely girl, an amazing artist but also a very lovely host as well, images came out so beautiful that i cant wait to share them with you all and also cant wait to work with her again which hopefully would be very soon. Thank you Philee for such an amazing day of creativity..:-)

I worked for the first time with Philee and was very impressed.She has a very unique look and style that encompasses a Doll like look with strong fantasy elements and shooting in a nearby woodland brought these things together in a great way.Her makeup is striking and the outfits she chose were spot on.

Philee has a total understanding of her art which translates on camera to a confident and capable model. She knows how to pose and is more than happy to take direction and explore ideas.Above all that she is a very friendly person and a great host (makes a good cup of tea as well). I had a really fun time working with her and would thoroughly recommend her and work with her again.

I spent a very enjoyable afternoon working with Philee. Pre-shoot comms and planning were great, and Philee was ready in her amazing Shironuri outfit and makeup when I arrived.

Being a photographer herself, Philee was able to contribute ideas, and was patient as we set up the lighting in the woods. She gets extra marks for catching a light stand as it was toppled by a gust of wind!

Philee didn't need any direction, her posing was effortless and fitted the style of shoot. It felt like a genuinely successful collaboration, and I couldn't be happier with the images we produced. Highly recommended!

I had a great time working with Philee on Sunday.

Her pre-comms are excellent and our planning beforehand ensured the shoot went flawlessly!

Knowing that Philee has spent a good deal of time behind the camera, I needed to be on top of my game!

When I arrived, Philee was prepared with her shironuri make-up done and outfit on, and once we'd got the pleasantries out of the way, we made our way to the location.

Philee turned in a stellar performance with some doll-like poses, totally fitting for the look we were aiming to create!

I made good use of her chaperone, who ended up running around creating our atmospheric background with smoke grenades. Thanks Chad!

Philee is great fun to work with and totally recommended! I look forward to working with her again!
