Had a shoot with Kim, and it was super. I wanted to do a series about identity, using paper bag masks to illustrate the different identities a person could assume. I asked Kim to make some paper bag masks, and the ones she created were amazing works of art! She then brought different outfits for each of the mask to match the masks, and posed in ways that illustrated the various identities that the masks were designed to represent. She is a trained artist, very bright, excellent at modeling, and mega-cooperative. She likes a challenge, and brings something extra to just about every shoot. To say she comes highly recommended would be an understatement.

I had a very nice collaboration with Kim, she is a very pleasant lady to work with. Incredibly good posing skills, creative input and hard work towards perfection.

I'm already looking forward to our next collaboration.

Had a very nice and beautiful cooperation and shoot with Kim! She is very versatile, lovely gracious and has a conscious spirit personality. We got along very well, resulting in a great atmospheric shoot, experiencing the old masters of the Rijksmuseum :) Thank you very much Kim!

Had my first shoot with Solivagant/Kim today and it was fantastic. Prior to the shoot, communications were excellent, and Kim provided loads of input and plenty of ideas. Working with Kim is literally a dream come true. She poses in ways that match the ideas or the concept that the shoot revolves around. When she's asked to provide her own poses, they are rarely conventional and always are something very, very special. She has loads of ideas and is a wonderful person to bounce ideas and suggestions off of. She's a hard worker and does her very best to make sure that the goals of the session are met (if not exceeded). Besides all this, she's a kind, thoughtful, and highly intelligent person, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. If you get the chance, book her for a shoot----you'll be amazed.

Kim is an outstanding model to work with. She's very expressive and artistic in her posing and natural in nature. A lovely person on top of it. I hope to shoot with her again in the near future.

When Solivagant came to our first shoot, she took some black wings out of her backpack. I smiled and showed her what I had put out in preparation: a pair of black wings too. We put hers to use and took photos with them that I wouldn't want to miss. But also with all the other topics it shows that Kim puts a lot of thought into the subjects and we complement each other wonderfully with our ideas. She is extremely creative, committed and emotional. This shows in the pictures we have taken together. In just half a year we had three shoots, and each with very different images.

Kim is communicative and very pleasant to work with. She is also always welcome for the time around the shoot due to her friendly and affable nature. I am very happy to know her. It won't stop at three shoots in half a year.

I highly recommend working with Solivagant to anyone who wants to realise sophisticated photography and is looking for a dedicated model.

Kim asked me about a collaboration some time ago. What a happy occasion!

We worked together for two days in the Swiss Alps as her heart is attached to nature and the (high) mountains in particular. You can see that in every picture. She is great at integrating herself into her surroundings, even stepping back once in a while, without handing over the reins.

Her movements are wonderfully elegant and yet abstract. Exactly what I expect from a true art model. It's nice to watch her doing it. You could almost forget to take photos. :)

I highly recommend her!

Thank you. Hope to see you again.

For the second time, I enjoyed working with Solivagant.

Always ready to contribute to creativity with an awesome synergy between elegance and energy.

I recently had a multiple day shoot with Kim when she visited me in Trondheim. She contacted me more than half a year ago and proposed to work together. I'm sooo glad we did.

She is a true art-model with an emphasis on "art" and she has so many layers of expressions, emotions and postures to play with in front of a photographers lens. She do beautiful poses for figure work and have a wide repertoire of moods and facial expressions to create deep storytelling images as well as natural beauty and connection to the environment in nature.

We chose to chat together about ourselves and this built a trust and sensitivity to each others personalities. This seems natural to her and from this foundation it enabled us to work together intuitively in a creative flow.

We worked in an old house as well as outdoor in nature. The weather was changing all the time from a bit of snowing, to wind, to rain, to sunny and back to snow again. I feel this inspired her and we used all this to our advantage. She loves to work outdoor and she did it with both elegance and put emotions in as well. Indoor she expressesed from her deepest self by movement of the body and variyng expressions in the face. I was so touched by her way of being in front of the lens I could almost cry. Maybe I secretly did?

She also has great talent for styling by using props, collected in nature or things available at the location. This added some extra magic to the images we created. 

Kim is attentive, kind, friendly and a great creative partner to create raw, soft, strong, gentle, poetic and beautiful images. 

One of the best collaborations and shooting experiences I've had. Our next shoot is already planned.

Highly recommended! Thank you Kim!

Solivagant may be a newcomer to modelling, but she is, simply, a fantastic art nude model.

She came to Britain for a short tour, and I can only say that I am delighted to have had the opportunity to work with her. My profound hope is that she will return later in the year, because there are many more pictures to be taken.

Excellent comms, to start with. But that is not the heart of what Solivagant does: she believes in what she is doing, and puts heart, soul, and great effort into every pose. She poses rapidly and inventively, and delivers more good pictures per minute than most!

Friendly, charming, and blessed with a haunting beauty that chimes perfectly with her posing style, she's a must for any serious art nude photographer. Very highly recommended!

I had the pleasure and honour of working with Kim yesterday at Daveed Pop Up Studio.

This lady is so hard working and her understanding of Art Nude poses is quite incredible.

Kim is very interactive and wants to produce the best images possible.

Thank you Kim and I hope to able to work with you again on your next tour.

Amazing.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Solivagant yesterday. My only regret is that I didn’t book more time with her. Kim is truly amazing, an incredibly photogenic, talented, artistic and naturally beautiful art nude model. She flows gracefully from to pose, creating beautiful, emotional, expressive and dynamic shapes. Utterly fascinating to see and a pleasure to photograph, like watching a slow motion ballet. the camera just loves her.

Kim takes direction very well but there is very little need to interfere with her creative flow. Set the scene and the lighting and let her ‘do her thing’, Once you start taking photographs you won’t want to stop.

A thoroughly enjoyable relaxed and fun shoot from start to finish and a very productive one. I will definitely work with Kim again when she returns to the Uk.

An unreserved 100% recommendation. Book a shoot with this remarkable lady; you’ll be very happy that you did.

I responded to Solivagant's casting call for a tour in the UK. All her communications were clear and prompt and we arranged a three hour outdoor shoot.

On the day she was on time, and came with various clothes and props, but more importantly with ideas and enthusiasm. We spent our time on the beach, exploring various ideas. Throughout she was keen to explore, communicated brilliantly, had a good awareness of the light (we suffered a bit from direct sun), and tuned in to what I was looking for really well. She also brought a real calm with her, which made for a really enjoyable time.

On a first look through I am really pleased with the images we made.

I'd happily work with Solivagant again.

It was a last-minute call slot, and Kim managed to arrange her availability so that we enjoyed the location for the session.

The location was sophisticated, and Kim naturally found a way to become an art-nouveau-style model, adding a soul to our pictures and catching the available light.

Kim, Solivagant is an awesome creative model and a kind human being.

Solivagant and I made plans for a shooting that turned into an exploration of the studio space as well as objects we used as props.

I consider myself to be an experienced artist but with her artistic knowledge of modeling, we approached various poses from our combined perspectives. It was reviving to discuss images during and after the shoot. It was also refreshing to improvise and push for subtle variations beyond the scripted moodboards we exchanged before meeting.

If you ever have the chance to work with her, you'll find creative freedom with a model compelled to energize your photography towards a breakthru moment.

Realizing now how much she has inspired me, I'm waiting for the next opportunity in her busy schedule so that I may explore beyond the studio and into more landscape and nature settings here in my area.

In closing, I highly recommend Solivagant as being a dependable, expressive, energetic and dedicated soul and urge everyone to take the time she shares with you as a gift.

To the creative ones,

Moses

My first shoot with Kim was very pleasant and succesfull. She is very friendly and cooperative, is creative in posing and in thinking about concepts and ideas. Communication before and during the shoot was also very pleasant and friendly. We already booked another shoot, and I'm looking forward to it!

Kim and I had planned her visit for weeks, shared ideas and images so precomms we agreed deeply as to our perspective and motivation.

Our love of Nature directed us, our being part of the flowers, berries, wood branches, and the water... Kim expressed beautifully, personally, and profoundly.

I recommend her to anyone keen to collaborate with a sensitive, intelligent, and aware person wholeheartedly committed to artistic expression.

10 days ago I had the absolute pleasure of working with this lovely being in Belgium.

Kim and I organised a little studio day in Gent for ourselves because we wanted to work together and play with our dreads :)

She's such a lovely, passionate and committed model! I had so much fun posing with her. We clicked straight away and felt comfortable with each other, which led to some really striking images!

She was also very kind to translate all day for me as I don't speak Flemish and some of the photographers didn't speak English.

I just can't recommend her enough and I am so looking forward to share our images and work with her again some day soon!

Thanks Kim!

Solivagant is really committed to taking good photos. She is friendly, laid back and works hard without making the photographer feel like it takes much effort, or that there is a need to rush.

The result is a beautiful, creative, versatile and sensitive series that I am very happy with. Communication was excellent before, during and after the shoot. So I surely recommend Solivagant and hope to work with her again.

Had the privilege to work with Solivagant recently, she had a busy schedule but still made it to the shoot on time. She was fluent, free, and fun to work with. She's creative with poses and especially working in small spaces.

I would definitely work with her in the future and I can recommend here to photographers with any skill level.
