I'm pretty useless and writing references but ill give it my best shot.

Today I had the pleasure of meeting and working this lovely lady I messaged her last week to see if she was free as I was in the area shooting another model as well. I was in luck and she was free so we talked over ideas before the shoot so we both knew what the plan was, we met in a lovely café in Aberystwyth and discussed locations for the shoot. WAW this lady really knows her local area I wanted something different to what id been shooting in the day and she didn't disappoint with the location, poses effortlessly amazing body poses and a cracking sense of humour to go with it as well as being very professional.

silk really isn't afraid to try any idea the more I suggested the more she tried

very highly recommended model from me and I will work with her again at some point (hopefully soon) thanks for a lovely shoot

Just back from my second shoot with the truly wonderful Silk and what an amazing shoot it was! Silk is simply incredible :-) Such a beautiful, talented, versatile and professional model. She can turn her hand to anything. She’s full of fabulous ideas that improved the shoot in every way and she's enormous fun to work with. We worked through several sets and the results were exceptional and that's all down to her immense skill as a model.

Simply one of the best day's shooting I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of :-) I'm really excited about working through the results.

If you want to work with one of the very best models anywhere who'll improve every aspect of the photos you take, you should book Silk - she's simply awesome!

Thanks Silk for an amazing day - loved every minute :-)

When I met up with Silk for a coffee on the seafront at Aberystwyth, the day was exceptionally dull and with strong breeze blowing off the sea. We had planned to do some coastal shots and I thought this wasn't going to be great photography day. We talked a little and I told her of my love for waterfalls. She had a flash of inspiration. We headed of into goodness knows where but where we ended up was to say the least absolutely spectacular with lots of places to shoot.

Silk is enthusiastic, gets on with the job and is creative. If I said could we do this, without question what I suggested happened. She is great to talk to and has a can do attitude.

Without any doubt I will be planning more shoots with Silk.

Very highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Silk earlier in the year when she travelled to my neck of the woods to model at the Plas Teg Jacobean mansion. Silk impressed me her enthusiasm, her modelling skills, and her natural beauty, and so a second shoot was a must when I travelled to Aberystwyth. Silk told me about a derelict cottage out in the sticks and it sounded awesome and so off we went and it was just as she described, but I would never have made it up the muddy grassy embankment without the help of this kind caring young woman who helped by carrying some of my photographic gear to and from the derelict cottage … Thank you Silk :-) 

We created lots of memorable pictures whilst there and so it was well worth the trek up the embankment to the cottage :-) 

Silk and her partner had very kindly offered me accommodation for the night and there was a delicious casserole awaiting us in a slow cooker when we returned home from the shoot. Silk is an amazing cook and an excellent host, and it was a real pleasure to work with this young lady again. The time travelled by all too quickly and so another shoot is imminent and I highly recommend her to all creatives ... thank you Silk for a wonderful shoot :-)

Silk and I have shot together several times now and each is better than the last, such is her spirited nature and her 'nothing is too much trouble' attitude. Silk's professional and friendly approach together with her versatility and beauty guarantees success.

This time we shot at several locations, pre-planned by Silk, and each was a success and even the woodland midges did not dampen her gusto; working with a minimum of direction from me. Yes, Silk makes it much easier for photographers to create wonderful imagery.

This shoot was a kind of experimental effort; a 'loose', relaxed and flowing approach to see what would happen; some ides were planned while others were invented as we were working to see what would happen. Magic happened, in spite of my semi-chaotic; disorganised way of working.

Silk is a lovely, lovely person and is very considerate in view of my 'issues', planning locations to minimise walking distance. Yes she's a joy to work with, and, she makes great bacon sarnies.

Most highly recommended of course :)

Silk is an exceptionally talented model. She is very beautiful, smart and natural (you can see that in her port), but more that than she has a fantastic energy. Not only physical (she worked very hard on our shoot) but that indefinable inner energy/spark that just shines through in her work. Silk is a very creative person who contributes great ideas and poses to a shoot. She is also good at being directed, picking up ideas very quickly. I had a brilliant day shooting with her yesterday. Venues included an isolated and disused chapel. Silk's beautiful cottage and the wet and windy Welsh coastline. Her poses were adventurous and nothing was too much trouble. Silk loves her work and we could have carried on all day. Finally, Silk is a hoot and we had such a good laugh working together. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Worked with Silk for the first time today, what a remarkable girl she is, exceeded expectations by miles. Wonderful personality, lovely person, very real and gorgeous. Poses effortlessly and with a freshness that is difficult to explain but is very much there. Pure joy to work with, would I recommend her, 10 fold, it would be impossibly not to. Can't praise her enough, will I work with her again? take an army to stop me, just can't wait till our next shoot.

Had a faaab shot with Silk recently , totally awesome model and her cake baking is to die for , we did a variety of locations and got some fab images , she really is a brill easy to work with down to earth model and I can't wait to shoot again sooooniooooo thank you :))))

Oh my fourth duo shoot working with Silk!! :) Yay! This time, with the awesomeness that is Cameranova! :)

Unfortunately I was again feeling less than 100% - however there was no way I was not going to go ahead with this shoot! Again, as I said earlier, Silk is very kind and supportive, and her incredible creative energy is infectious! Silk has a huge resource of ideas, locations, and accessories and props. Her car boot was full of clothing and various props, each carefully chosen and well thought out. She had prepared for the shoot, got items to do some set dressing at the derelict location she had planned to take us to, and had also even made us cake!! (And hells bells it was an AMAZING cake too!!)

Silk puts her all into her shoots - and it certainly shows! Her professional attitude, spot on communication, dedication, and exceptional modelling skills make her the perfect model, of which I am in awe. She's also super fun to be around, and great company.

Thank you Silk for making this yet another epic shoot! 100% recommended to all models and photographers! :) :) ☺ ☺

Well as always I enjoyed the journey to Mid Wales with 2 mini concepts in mind and nothing else simply because working with Silk and Cloudy for me is always so creative and making things work as we wander around chatting.

So for shoot number 3 (though it seems like many more) we did a bit of boudoir, played in the sea and then started throwing glitter around as if we were at a festival!!! Needless to say we had a great time and Silk was just awesome giving pose after effortless pose, the problem for us will be picking the images. Needless to say we didn't shoot everything we had in mind, but the next 2 shoots are sorted.

Now the techy bit - wardrobe was amazing, hair & makeup was on fleek as were communications right from the off.

Looking forward to revisiting soon, in the mean time Silk is highly recommended so book her now.

Thanks Silk x

This was my third shoot with Silk,and it just gets better,we seem to work together more by instinct as opposed to detailed planning.

Because of the weather Silk took me to a wonderful derelict building with very subtle natural light,it proved to be a paradise for ideas.In the afternoon we did a beach shoot which was something very different,at one stage we stopped to let two women pass,but did not need to worry as they stripped naked and dived into the sea.

Silk is very easy fun company,wonderfully creative,and has a wardrobe that could fill a small shop.My only problem is deciding on the best images as she gives me so many that I like.

Thankyou Silk for a wonderful day,it is a pleasure,and a privilege to work with you.Johnx

I contacted Silk, having looked at her Portfolio and thinking that I actually might be able to shoot with her, and asked if she would do a shoot with me and also suggest a few locations, with some guidance on what moods we might use.

My goodness, did she just !

I seriously think these models are trying to kill me. I was swept away in a splurge of fantastic locations and a huge bagful of ideas - including a Teddy Bear who is not satisfied unless he/it is hogging the Limelight.

Silk is a lovely, lively, brilliant, adaptable model who I cannot recommend enough to other photographers. From the top of a mountain, to a dirty dank cottage, to a wide open beach ( She also laid on a fantastic day for us to be around in ) and a shop window in the middle of town. What are we going to do with these crazy, beautiful creative images.

Download and get on with the editing That is what.

She is trying to kill me - I am certain of that!

A pearler of a shoot and a peach of a model, my first shoot with Silk finished all too soon... But let's start at the beginning...

Pre-shoot communication was first class and when I arrived at her home I was offered a cup of tea (and a splendid brew it was) before heading off to a nearby beach Silk thought suitable. It was more than that - it was superb.

Meanwhile our banter was constant, bloody funny on occasions and interesting too, whether it was about not talking politics, cooking or listening to Radios 2 and 4. And when it came to getting the images I wanted, Silk more than came up with the goods - surely that's what every photographer wants?

Summing up, I can't praise Silk highly enough. Shoots shouldn't be this good, should they? Definitely 15/10, all day long.

I so much enjoyed meeting and working with Silk yesterday. We both arrived early at a massive privately owned Jacobean Country House in North Wales for a day's shooting. Silk was so easy to get along with and great fun to be with too. I found her to be very professional and hope to work with her again in the future. I would Highly Recommend Silk to any photographer and wish her every success!

I had the pleasure of meeting and having a brief shoot with Silk at the Plas Teg Jacobean mansion later in the day and I am so pleased that I did because Silk is a lovely model to work with, she is very creative and glides from pose to pose so elegantly and effortlessly. She paired up with Kes Wild for part of the shoot and they both worked in harmony and complimented one another in every pose like poetry in motion. I highly recommend Silk and I hope that I get the opportunity of working with her again in the not too distant future :-)

I met Silk on a group shoot at the beautiful Plas Teg.

Although we did not directly work together, she was really friendly and down-to-earth - just one of those people you meet and then go on to say "Oh, she was super nice!" and that was before I discovered how amazing her portfolio is...and she is also very good at making homemade cakes! :D

I would not hesitate to recommend her or work with her on a shoot - her body of work just speaks for itself!

My word - what an exceptional lady. It was my first time shooting with Silk yesterday and I have absolutely no doubt that it won't be the last. This lady is fantastic - her posing is effortless, her personality is infectious and she throws herself into everything 100%. Silk worked on a group shoot with us and I know that absolutely everyone who shot her will have some stunning images and a few extra inches on their waistline thanks to the homemade cakes she brought along. We only had a short time to shoot but got absolutely loads of images, nothing was too much trouble for her. I particularly like the ones we achieved in the stolen last five minutes when Silk threw herself into some facedown falling over pictures which are brilliant. Can't wait to work on them and really want to work together again soon. Straight to work, fun, chatty and totally professional - what more could a body ask for. You ROCKED Silk. :-)

Tabitha Boydell

Was super to meet Silk yesterday. She is such a confident, chatty, funny and creative model. We created a lot of great images together and I really hope that I get to work with her again.

I had the pleasure of meeting Silk at the weekend on a group shoot at Plas Teg. Silk is a very lovely and bubbly personality who even kindly brought delicious cakes she had made to the shoot! Although we didn't get the opportunity to shoot together, I think she would be a great model to work with on a duo shoot especially considering how well she worked with Kes Wild on the day and her effortless ability to pose both art nude and fashion. I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her in the future :)

Everly Rose

Well what can I say about this beautiful little fairy Silk!

To say we got on like a house on fire is a understatement, I've definitely found a friend for life!

Silk is full of enthusiasm bonding over with energy and awesome ideas.

She put up with my madness and incessant chattering, I accidentally swilled her with pond water and ate most of her cakes.

A real catch ion the modelling world Silk is creative and nothing is too much trouble, she flows from pose to pose with ease and can take on any character you give to her.

A great asset to any portfolio I would recommend Silk to any model or photographer who is wanting a professional yet fun Model with bags of enthusiasm, a amazing wardrobe,and a stunning figure.

Thanks for a glorious day and I can't wait to see you again xxx
