I had the opportunity to shoot here and I was so stunned by this beautiful location and wonderful hosts. I look forward to working through and with you more often.

Another fantastic remote at Dreaming of Models Photo Location. I sent Zoi a brief for my Maternity portraits of Rachelle Summers and everything was set up and ready as planned. Zoi assisted in moving the camera and lights as I required for a successful session. Highly recommended, thank you, Zoi.

I had my first international remote shoot on Saturday from Scotland to Holland and can’t recommend the studio or Zoi highly enough. Everything went very smoothly and communication before during and after was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble and Rachelle Summers and I got some great assistance to create some beautiful images. Rachelle is 33.5 weeks pregnant and seemed to have enough energy all of us. Sets were fabulous and Zoi obviously knows lighting inside out. Finished the shoot absolutely buzzing after such a great experience. Highly recommended and can’t wait to shoot there again.

I had a fantastic remote shoot with a visiting model (Muirina Fae) at Sapphire Studio. While it was a last minute decision and I took a free 90 minute slot that was available, Zoi made sure that even with limited time to plan, the shoot was very creative, with lovely stying, great natural light and when required, some additional constant lighting.

The studio is well equipped and Zoi is very adept at making quick and small changes to ensure the best light is available for shooting. I have visited the studio previously in person but shooting it remotely was just as good.

Thanks Zoi (and Marc) for a great and than you to Muirina for the beautiful art we created together.

I had a pleasure working with Zoi and Mark during a workshop they organised in Scotland. Everything was just perfect, I am very happy with how the workshop went like and everyone involved was very professional,friendly and respectful.

Zoi and Mark scheduled all shoots perfectly and were always caring about well-being of models. Zoi always ensured that models are warm enough and feel comfortable and everything was planned very smartly and weather wise.

Zoi has a fantastic selection of outfits and she was very helpful throughout the whole shoots and I also got a chance to shoot with Zoi which was very lovely experience.

Zoi works only with the best and friendliest photographers so it was lovely meeting everyone and shooting together.

I got the best and warmest memories from this workshop and I hope I will have a chance to work with Zoi again

Highly recommended,100%

One of the recent model days that Sapphire Studio had arranged was with Marie Silvers Sy. I have taken the opportunity to do a shoot there.

Part one of the shoot was in a boudoir setting - including a four-poster bed.

Things really got going during the second part of the shoot, were studio-owner Zoi acted as a MUA and applied oil mixed with gold dust. All three of us were in a very creative mood, resulting in many great looking images.

Yes, I would recommend attending Model days at Studio Sapphire.

I had the pleasure of working with Sapphire Studios remote tethered, communication was good. After seeing Belgium based model Marie Silvers on the front page and I contacted Zoi to see if she could persuade Marie to visit Sapphire Studio and become more widely available via remote tethered photography. Zoi was on hand to assist. Thanks to Zoi for making all the arrangements. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful time working with SapphireStudio, Zoi was so amazing and so friendly, I felt I knew her for years.

The studio had everything I need and more.

Also the model Vita was so lovely and creative.

I really loved working with both of them as their input to the shoot was remarkable.

I highly recommend working with them, and I honestly can't wait to do another shoot.

Very grateful. Thanks

Recently I have attended a workshop ""Fashion Erotic" that was hosted by Sapphire studio, with Zoi as the Model and Stephano Brunesci as a guest tutor.

It was a great experience, with lots of things learned.

And lunch was tasty as well.

Yes, I do recommend working at Sapphire Studio.

I had a fantastic time working with studio owner Zoi at Sapphire studios on my full studio day last week. Zoi assisted as most shoots were remote, and they all went very smoothly.

The space itself is fantastic, lots of natural light and lots of different areas in which you can shoot from. There's also access to lots of different lighting equipment if needed.

I've seen some of the images back already and the quality is fantastic. I would definitely recommend using this studio if you are in the area.

This was my first opportunity to shoot with Zoi at her studio and also to use her studio for another shoot.

Zoi, herself, is a beautiful model with a warm and friendly personality. Her enthusiasm is such that she is completely focused on working with a photographer to create amazing images. She does this in such a fun and relaxed way that it looks effortless and all her positive energy rubs off on the shoot making the whole experience a joy. In short... Zoi is an absolute pleasure to work with!

Sapphire Studio is a stunning, historical space with high ceilings, tons of natural light, furniture and lighting equipment on hand. What a pleasure (and what fun) it was to be able to work in such a wonderful space.

Both Zoi and her Sapphire Studio are awarded my highest recommendation!

A big thank you to Zoi (and her husband) for the wonderful few days spent working with you and at your studio! :)

Irida

I was booked by Zoi to fly over for a sold out weekend shooting from Sapphire Studios in Hague.

I love shooting from here, beautiful studio space with high ceilings, natural light and furniture to pose. We worked on in person and remotes shoots and Zoi was so helpful with everything I needed or the photographers.

Very highly recommended and looking forward to return back :)

Thank you for everything,

Irida

Had a shoot with Irida at Sapphire Studio. Zoi, the studio owner, had organized a classic Greek theme workshop night, which was great fun. It was a fine, relaxed photoshoot, and everything worked as planned. I'd recommend using the studio, and the models that Zoi brings to Holland are professional, prepared, and talented at what they do.

My favorite studio in the Netherlands!

I feel very fortunate to have worked for a second trip in-person and remotely at this inspiring place. The location is spacious, versatile, and one of the most well-equipped places I have ever been to. Every shoot is different and gives the possibility for more creative exploration and interpretation.

Zoi organizes all shoots very effectively and professionally. I love having her as the assistant for remote shoots as she is so experienced and adapts herself very quickly. Furthermore, each photographer she brings was very nice, and really enjoyed making quality images in a good atmosphere.

I also stayed at the studio for the night and Zoi is a wonderful host. She always made sure I was comfortable, bringing me coffee in the morning, and giving me plenty of rest.

Highly recommended!

Irida

I was very lucky to be booked by Zoi for a studio weekend at her beautiful and very spacious space in Hague.

Zoi is one of the most professional and hard working people I have ever met. Everything is well organized and the weekend ran smoothly.

The studio space is beautifully styled and has a lot of different sets to shoot from, very versatile and full of natural light!

I also stayed at the studio for the night and Zoi was very welcoming making sure I was comfortable at all times I was provided with plenty of breaks throughout the day and snacks, refreshments and food was provided generously.

We shot a mix of remote and in person shoots and everyone I worked with was so nice.

Very happy to highly recommend working from this beautiful space to all and hope to return back in 2023 :)

Many thanks

Irida

In the company of 2 other photographers, I had a great shoot at this studio. The shoot was in the style of Helmut Newton with a great model, Dorka Banki.

The whole shoot was perfectly organised and with great communication. Very nice studio with many possibilities for a shoot.

Thanks.

I've worked with Zoi numerous times and used her studio a couple of times, most recently last weekend. I love working there. It's a beautiful old building with high ceilings, beautiful old decorations, a good amount of light coming in from outside and has basically all you need as a photographer in terms of gear and props. There are so many opportunities to set up different sets with everything available and Zoi is more than happy to help you set up and assist you when needed. I can't recommend Zoi enough. Always a joy to work with her. Whether as a model or just using the studio she owns.

After seeing the casting call on PP Joined a Helmut Newton themed shoot at SapphireStudio together with two other photographers. It proved to be a very well organised evening at a great location which provided some nice settings, styling options as well as good lighting equipment. As photographer you were given the freedom to pick your styling(s) and create your own lighting setups, while Zoi was making sure everybody had similar timeslots to work with. In short, an excellent evening in great and relaxed atmosphere which allowed me to try some new techniques (working with fresnel light) and create the images I had in mind. Thanks to Zoi and model Dorka for the great collaboration.

Thank you Zoi and model Dorka for the great collaboration. I am very happy with the results!
