This was my third shoot with Ella, and this time we went 'on location' to a rocky cove see had scouted near where she lived. We were fortunate to have selected the first really warm and gloriously sunny day of the year; we put up with the hard light and simply enjoyed the scenery.

Ella had choosen the location well, access to the wider beach was not particularly easy which limited the number of people there, and it had a even more private cove to one side, with impressive rocks in varied formations and colours. Perfect for art nude with limited risk of disturbance.

Yet again Ella was a dream to work with. She of course arrived on time, fully prepared. Professional, enthusiastic and creative, she is also charming, relaxed and fun. She is also fit and athletic, flexible and nimble.

Once again our time seemed to fly past - which seems to be a feature of our shoots.

I have absolutely no hesitation recomending Ella whether in the studio or on location - book her, you'll have a lovely shoot and come away with some very pleasing images.

Ella, once again thank you for your efforts - already looking forward to the next shoot.

If only all models could be as good as Ella. I had my second shoot with Ella this week, this one studio based, the last was a natural light interior location. The results of both shoots were terrific. Ella is reliable, focused, communicates well and works hard to get the shots one wants. In short, the sort of professionalism that makes shooting a pleasure. Ella's complexion is really good and even in studio lighting there is no blemish removal work to do. Work with her if you get the chance.

After a two year hiatus, Ella and I finally managed to shoot together again.

We contacted each other on Wednesday, agreed location, looks and mood on Thursday and shot on Friday. This is a reflection of Ella’s professionalism and flexibility, not mine.

The shoot itself went very well, despite the cold and the rain. Ella needs little direction and was able to pick up and emote the dark woodland vibe that I was looking for without any problem at all. As always Ella is a pleasure to be around and to work with and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to you.

Because of all the Covid restrictions this location shoot was the first post-lockdown shoot with this beautiful young lady since the last I'd had with her five months ago prior to the most recent lockdown. It proved to be a fantastically warm day of bright sunshine - Ella sparkled throughout, she was enchanting company and, as a result, we created some amazing images together. I'm thrilled that she's agreed to be one of the models for our Naturist Photography Master Class in June where I'm sure she'll prove to be as popular again at this year's event as she was at last year's. She's an absolute star! Thank you Lovely Lady!

I arranged a shoot with Ella as I thought she would suit the style I'm currently after: natural, dynamic, emotive and slightly abstract. Trying to capture the dynamic nature of the style meant I shot a lot of images; it'll take my a while to process them. But I know we got exactly what I was looking for.

There was great communication beforehand and Ella arrived exactly on time. She had a array of outfits that fitted the brief we discussed. She worked dynamically and didn't need much direction from me at all.

Ella was relaxed and easy to chat to. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

A lovely second shoot quickly arranged to get the shoot in before Christmas. I don't generally arrange a two shoots with the same model in close proximity, but I enjoyed our first shoot with Ella so much and had both felt we had hardly scratched the surface of what we could do together. So this time the idea for this shoot was to try various differnet things.

Ella is a dream to work with, reliable, professional, enthusiastic, energetic, and very willing to give things a go or to try something again and again if needed to refine the image. She is impressively flexible, as was demonstrated by an awesome back bend against the curve which deservedly got our first FPI together.

She is also naturally creative, freely chipping in ideas for poses or what could be done with the various props and accessories we had at our disposal.

Yet again we formed a relaxed creative collaboration which I particularly appreciate. I am really looking forward to working with Ella again, not least outdoors when conditions allow.

Recommended - absolutely!

Once again thank you for your efforts Ella and for making this second shoot as much fun as the first, indeed more so. Until the next time. (... and my apologies it took a while to write this Reference!).

I had another great shoot with Ella at the weekend. Due to very little people around Bath, we managed to get some fantastic shots that would be impossible or very timely in the middle of the summer with tourists.

Ella was very punctual, brought a fantastic array of outfits that the look & colours contrasted really well with Bath at this time of year.

Ella required very little direction and knew what poses worked best with the location and outfit.

We got some great strong images that wouldn't look out of place in a magazine.

I would recommend her even more than last time, and definitely work with her again in the very near future. Very chatty, it's impossible not to get along with her.

Thanks again!

I found Ella's Port after seeing an image posted by another photographer which grabbed my attention from her flexible and athletic pose. By the time I read her Port text I was already pretty convinced we would work well together, and I approached her for a shoot; and I am so glad I did.

Ella arrived on time, with a big smile and bright eyes, and a case thoughtfully packed based on our pre-shoot exchanges.

Ella is a beautiful, enthusiastic, amazingly flexible and athletic model who has a lovely, relaxed demeanour and highly professional approach to her modelling. She has a dance, gymnastic and yoga background which would immediately get my attention and is reasonably local to me - so I have no idea why I had not come across her Port before now. After the shoot yesterday that is a great shame.

We had a lovely and productive 4hour shoot at Inspire Studios. She poses fluidly and has impressive flexibility, balance and athleticism. She quickly demonstrated that she would live up and exceed my expectations.

A relaxed creative collaboration quickly formed, and it quickly felt like this was far from our first shoot. The shoot seemed to fly by and was all too quickly getting close to finishing time, but we both felt that we had lots more we could do together. We are already in discussion about a further shoot and hopefully a continuing periodic collaboration.

Recommended - oh yes without any hesitation.

Thank you Ella for your considerable efforts, I hope we can now plan shoot number 2 before Christmas.

This shoot was organised at Ella's suggestion at shortish notice as this lovely lady was in the area. With a couple of days to go the forecast was pretty dire so I checked with her that she was happy to go ahead with the arrangements. Having enjoyed our working together on an number of previous occasions, I should have known that she'd be up for it, whatever the conditions. It rained continuously throughout the day until just before she arrived and I have to admit to feeling somewhat pessimistic about how it was all going to work out. But she arrived on time and raring to go and sporting her trade mark million dollar smile. The more I work with Ella the more productive our creative partnership becomes. She is so stunningly beautiful and so enthusiastic about what I'm trying to achieve that her inate professionalism shone through in spite of a cold wind replacing the rain. Her amazing stoicism was inspiring throughout, leaving me lost in admiration - and, as I should have expected,the results were fantastic. Thank you, Lovely Lady, for a great shoot, for the very real pleasure of your enchanting company and for so kindly agreeing to model for our Master Class next June. I've now doubt that we'll work together again before then so here's to the next time!

A third shoot with Ella this week, just as good as the first two. We tried some outdoor fashion in the Cotswolds and Ella used her amazing physique to create some stunning images. Ella is easy to work with, great results every time, and I look forward to sharing the results. A bit of studio work followed, a slightly different arty fashion style for me but what I have had a chance to look at, I love.

Ella is a great versatile model, she ticks every box. I am looking forward to the next shoot, hopefully sooner rather than later. Recommended? Without hesitation!

Ay Eye

This was my second shoot with Rebecca: she is amazing. She took on my insane ideas and perched on cold glass, built on a frankly rickety platform, in a freezing gale. She posed effortlessly with little to no direction, leaving me free to concentrate on what I needed to do. Very easy to shoot and stunning with it. Perfect.

She's also very outgoing, engaging and friendly - we chatted for quite some time in between shots, the afternoon had flown by before we knew it. I can't believe it's been 3 years since we last shot together.

I wouldn't hesistate to recommend her. You have absolutely no reason not to work with her!!

I knew Ella Ray and I were going to get on right from the first moment. She has this incredible positive aura about her that just shines through. Even though we only had a few hours, we made very good use of the lovely evening light and mild weather in a near deserted cove.

I have to admit the location was hard to get too, even by my standards! Thankfully Ella shares a love of the great outdoors and fitness which meant she was totally undaunted by a bit of mountaineering, scrambling and rock climbing! But it was so worth it!

It was lovely for me to see how inspired Ella was by the place; she came alive and embraced the challenges of the location beautifully. What's more her background in dance and natural flexibility made for some memorable shots. In truth, Ella Ray is everything I could wish for in an art model and more. Thank you for a wonderful evening - until next time :)

Just had a great shoot with Ella at Full Moon studio. Wow, Ella really is a fantastic model - very professional and experienced with great energy and creativity.

She is very friendly, a genuine pleasure to work with and has a great range of outfits and lingerie.

The 4 hours absolutely flew by and Ella worked really hard to make sure I got the shots I was looking for. Definitely very highly recommended and I certainly hope to work with her again.

Full Moon Studio

We’ve just had the pleasure of welcoming Ella to Full Moon Studio for the first time and would be delighted to see her here anytime!

Clearly an excellent model, she’s also a fun, pleasant person to work with. Highly recommended.

I was fortunate indeed to have this amazing lady as one of the three models who supported our annual two day Photography Master Class in Essex. Not only is she stunningly beautiful she was also infectiously enthusiastic throughout the two days giving advice and encouragement aplenty to the candidates, especially the lesser experienced. I've already asked her if she can be with us for our June 2021 Master Class as it was a real pleasure to have her as a member of this year's team.

First shoot with Ella. Why, oh why, oh why did I leave it so long before working with her? I must be daft. She's absolutely bl**dy brilliant!

I wanted to try out a few ideas that involved movement and bendy body shapes. Ella's toned physique and high level of physical fitness and athleticism came to the fore; there's also her creativity, enthusiasm, patience and her wonderfully positive 'can do' attitude, and thanks to her combined skills I was delighted with the pics. I also asked her to free-pose for a few sequences. Once again her creativity, athleticism and experience were very evident - she flowed gracefully from one well-considered, eye-catching pose to another. Brilliant!

On top of all that there's her sparkling personality and good sense of humour; so the shoot was not only very productive, but was also hugely enjoyable.

Thanks for a belter of a shoot, Ella. You're a joy to work with.

Irida

Had the opportunity to work alongside Ella a few days ago for a photo-shoot !

Ella is full of positive energy and life !

A very skilled and experienced model that knows her poses and also professional at all times !

Very easy to work with indeed :)

Book her now !!!

This was my second shoot with the irrepressible Ella. This time it was a beach shoot, with nobody else around,and in company with the equally irrepressible Irida Silvie. They complimented each other perfectly and bounced creative ideas off each other non stop. The entire laughter filled shoot was both amazingly productive and great fun, resulting in over two hundred and fifty cracking images of these two beautiful, vivacious young ladies enjoying the sun, sea and sandy together. And we're all working together again next week - I can't wait! Thank you both so much for your sparkling enthusiasm and energy!

I was over the moon when it turned out the legend that is Ella Ray would be driving past a forest I like to shoot in. She really is the complete model - incredible poses (all the dance training), expressive acting, and someone who'll make sure any photographer gets their best images. We only had two hours to shoot, but I got more images I love from this than I usually do from 4. Within a few days one of our images was an FPI too - the quickest that's ever happened for me. Couldn't recommend any more strongly!!
