Had the total pleasure of attending a workshop with Poppy while she was in Canada and inspite of a limited amount of time shooting managed to get some awesome images of an amazing model.

Throughout Poppy was helpful in getting the correct timing of shots with her movement and as well as a total professional she was also a pleasure to be around and talk with.

Thank you Poppy. Totally recommend her to anyone wanting to enhance their portfolio.

I have worked with PoppySeed on several occasions, most latterly I engaged her for a group workshop shoot.

Each time I have worked with this lovely model she has both met and exceeded my expectations. She has excellent ballet and model posing skills and is keen to work with the photographer in order to execute a shot perfectly. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a ballet dancer model for either concept or fine art work.

It wanted to shoot with PoppySeed for a long time, and I was so happy we could organize a group shooting together! It was a big pleasure to work with her!

She’s very professional, a great dancer and a nice, helpful person.

All of her movements are just perfect.

She is very perfectionist and it’s really important in the dance photography.

I can just recommend!

Poppyseed Dancer is a perfectionist, with high standards that certainly put pressure on the photographer to produce the goods. Her athletic ability and dancing/ballet poses are astonishing to witness.

She's very very dangerous.....

Stay away...!!!

Joking...on the contrary she is one of the most amazing models I might have ever have worked with..

Even the way she talks is so gentle and elegant..I wasnt short of less than amazed...

Working with her was a dream come true

She had been in my greatest models to work with for quite a long time....and as soon as I heard she was touring Ireland I jumped on the opportunity like a happy baby goat.

She is a perfectionist ..and I love that ...rather than happily snapping away she lends her expertise to togs to create an even better image.... and the result obviously was thunderously amazing..

She has raised my own standards so high....that I cant thank her enough...

Much love and Regards

I was lucky enough to work with Poppy during her visit to Ireland. This was my first time shooting with film and I couldn't have asked for a better model to work with.

One of the reasons I have started shooting with film is to teach myself to slow down and focus a little more on each image and Poppy's style of working really complements this. She is focused in her work and pays attention to the smallest details that I would normally overlook. Poppy has a great sense of knowing how the shot will turn out and this was very helpful during our shoot.

Poppy is very professional in her work and comes highly recommend. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

I was sticking my toe in the high end with Poppyseed Dancer who is a very accomplished model. She showed true professionalism and I would relish the opportunity to work with her again sometime.

Anna is an absolutely gorgeous professional ballet dancer. She is very flexible and creative. We spent good few hours outside and I got good few lovely photos.

I really recommend Anna to anyone from complete newbe to professional photographers , she will help you with any of your creative ideas.

I hope to work with her more , when I got a chance.

I had the pleasure of working with PoppySeed on her recent tour of Ireland. We worked outdoors, Poppy was fantastic throughout the shoot, she worked really hard to achieve our aims for the day and did so in a stress-free cooperative way. Poppy's experience and ability to understand what I'm looking for in terms of outcomes shined through.

I would definitely recommend working with Poppy if you great the opportunity. I hope she will return to Ireland soon.

Thanks PoppySeed!

Was part of a small group shoot in NGCC in August and it was a pleasure to meet and work with Poppyseed. She worked really hard to get the images I wanted and I was extremely happy with the outcome. Very focused and softly spoken belies her commitment to her art. I would highly recommend Poppyseed for her professionalism and enthusiasm .

I shot with Poppy on the afternoon group shoot (she had already completed the morning shoot). She knows her mind and goes the extra mile to get an image for you, she is a perfectionist and I hope she returns so that I can work with her again.

If you have a chance to work with her, take it.

We held a very successful 1 day group event in addition to a really enjoyable and productive 1 to 1 shoot the following day.

I've always wanted to do more work with dancers and PoppySeed really exceeded my expectations in terms of her posing ability and her determination to get the perfect shot.

The groups we had in went away very happy with the results and I'm certainly delighted with the images I got.

I'm happy to recommend PoppySeed to any photographer, especially those looking to get quality dance shots.

Poppyseed is a very talented and hardworking model. I wanted to work with someone who specialises in dance, ballet, and artistic nude themes and she makes such fantastic shapes with beautiful lines time after time. She is a great contributor to a shoot, always trying to work with her own stamp of individuality.

Thank you Poppyseed for a great shoot. Highly recommended to other creatives.

I’ve been following PoppySeed for over a year but as she is so sort after I thought the chance of shooting with her was a pipe dream. Then the lovely Ivory Flame contacted me out of the blue asking if I wanted to shoot the two of them at Pipewell Hall. There was no hesitation, this opportunity wasn’t to be missed and I wasn’t disappointed. One glance at her profile illustrates her skill, need I say more.

Ivory Flame

I worked with Poppy for the first time recently and found her a really sweet personality - fun, eager, full of curiosity and interesting conversation. She is graceful, elegant, clear in her communication, knows her mind, and has astounding talent - making such breath-taking shapes and leaps look effortless.

We had been in contact a while and it was lovely she was interested to model together with me. Once she had her dates for the UK I set about arranging some events, and filled 3 days... at Natural Light Studio, Scorpion Residence and Pipewell Hall. Poppy took the schedules all in her stride and embraced the different environments each day. It was really fun to model duo with her, merging our strengths and experience, resulting in varied and beautiful images by the attending photographers. I also got chance to photograph her myself too, which was extremely enjoyable and productive.

Poppy is a hard worker and strives for the highest quality in the results. She flows through a range of incredible poses and often injects her own spontaneous ideas, but will also review and refine the details of a photographer's concept. I would happily work with her again when she hopefully returns to the UK, and wish her all the best with her continued travels around the globe! :-)

Superlatives have real relevance when placed in the same breath as Poppyseed Dancer. We shared an initial shoot and latterly joined by Ivory Flame. Seeing both the contribution to solo and then duo work was a real advantage and insight. Having been a dance lover including through ballet, both contemporary and classical, we should reserve fullest respect and admiration to the standards and discipline to those masters of the art. Anna is such an individual. To take that art and fold it into modelling is undoubtedly a position few would achieve, as Anna has. It was an honour to work with Anna and benefit from her artistic contributions in scene setting. So politely offered and all the more to be listened to. Stunning positions flow naturally which is the mark of an exceptional person - Anna makes the near difficult achievable with apparent ease. Poppyseed Dancer is a pearl of great price.

The first thing that I noticed when meeting Poppy was her endearing smile and then the presence that she has when in the same room with her.

A lovely person, quite unlike anyone that I have ever met or worked with before.

I really admired Poppy's posing ability, professionalism and enthusiasm in helping me to capture her, in the best way that I could. Shooting with Poppy was a unique experience for me in many ways and at times, a little bit out of my comfort zone which wasn't a bad thing at all.

I only had a couple of hours with Poppy and had an overwhelming amount of idea's that I wanted to do with her, so I kinda rushed our shoot a little to try and cram in as much as I could. Basically I recommend booking Poppy for as long as you can because the amount of excellent poses that she can come up with, is amazing. Plus she brought along so much clothing and accessories that complimented her form beautifully, I would have liked to have gone through the whole lot with her.

I also hosted a studio day with Poppy at 'A Scorpion Residence' and I have to mention that without the wonderful Ivory Flame, none of this would have happened and I still may not have even known about this exceptional model :-)

I had an amazing time shooting with PoppySeed Dancer yesterday when she and Ivory Flame hosted a joint studio day at Natural Light Spaces. I've had my eye on her for a while, so I was very happy to finally meet her. I think her work speaks for itself. She is a thoughtful creative, full of passion to match her skill. PoppySeed is wonderful to work with, professional and dedicated. Anyway, must dash so that I can re-charge, as I have another shoot with her tomorrow. This touring model should not be missed. She is a delight!!

This was my first shoot with Poppyseed Dancer, an event Ivory Flame arranged for photographers to work together with her and Poppy; an event I shared with Karen (KK).

Poppy is an remarkably flexible, gymnastic, talented and accomplished ballet dancer (and pianist) who produces extraordinary poses with skill and grace. When you meet her you are immediately struck by her calm self assured demeanour and her gentle, softly spoken manner which belies her firm dedication, precision and hardwork. She readily will advise on poses that best suit her considerable skill. It was a pleasure to watch Poppy and Ivory Flame collaborating on poses during the duo section.

My short time with Poppy was over all to quickly, but I left with considerable respect for her abilities. I wish I had had a much longer to work with her, and I hope there will be another opportunity to do so.

Poppy is very firmly recommended.

Thank you Poppy for your efforts, it was an honour to have been able to work with you.

I think this is the fifth or sixth full day shoot I had with Poppyseed and that pretty much says it all, but let me add this: In my opinion she's a wonderful model, extremely flexible and I keep getting extraordinary images every time we shoot. Shooting dance with her is obviously a safe bet but I have done so many other things and she always approaches it with an open mind, grace and constructive collaboration which I always appreciate and encourage. Looking forward to the next time I have a chance to shoot with PoppySeed Dancer again.
