References for Something About Olive

Joining forces with model, who is beautiful living pre-raphaelites masterpiece @somethingabout.olive was a journey through ages to the very presentation of Sandro Botticelli's Venus. We made many very interesting compositions and still there are so much more to do when we hopefully meet again. The potential of Olive as a model for fine art photography lovers, especially those in love with colour photography is endless!

Communications with Olive before and after shootings were excellent too.

With warmest recommendation,

I did my first duo shoot with Olive and Noa the model, and I thought it was just great.

Both ladies were cheery and relaxed, as they know each other well. This made the shoot itself fun and relaxed. But they also have a great sense of posing and photography in general and are extremely well tuned in to each other. This made the even the very first shots look stunning in an effortless manner. All I had to do was capture it.

I highly recommend working with Olive, and would definitely like to do so again myself!

Booked a shoot with Olive a couple of weeks ago, when she announced a tour here. Waited that long for the date to arrive, and when it did, it was the most fabulous girl that arrived in the studio. Knew her imagery from photographs on line but I wasn't expecting such a stunningly beautiful girl to present herself at the appointment.

Olive is a kind, generous, intelligent and beautiful person as well as an utterly superb professional model. She has an innate beauty.

Olive brought some of her own mood imagery to the shoot to consider , I thought this was so generous of her to donate her interest to my ideas for the type of photography I was seeking of her. We went through a few scenarios and she was more than accommodating in involving herself in the scenes. I am more than grateful to Olive for her genuine artistry and craft that she brought to the creating of the pictures. 

Olive is an elegant, graceful and charming girl, with an intellectual and worldly personality.  Her imagery in my visions of her, I see as an ancient Gaelic Chieftains daughter, a Princess. Her looks, colouring and Porcelain complexion is a pallet in itself. She doesn't as much pose but invests a sublime poise in every presence she graces the viewfinder with...the exquisitely perfect muse.

Olive went out of her way to aid me in obtaining the photographic results I was aiming for. She did not disappoint in any way, totally involved in every frame. She even went the extra step (literally) in ensured that the perfect photo was achieved.

So much went on in the shoot,  that I can't remember every single moment we enjoyed. But when I look back through each frame, I'm reminded about the great craic we had.

A million recommendations from me would not achieve the respect and admiration I have for this beautiful girl.

Will definitely be obliged if Olive would create with me in the future. Thank you so much, Olive,  superstar...sublime beauty .

I had the pleasure of working with Olive for the first time this week. My only regret is I haven't worked with her before now. She is an exceptional model, excellent communication skills, poses beautifully and is a pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend working with Olive, I certainly look forward to our next shoot.

Olive came through for some remote shoots that she had booked at the studio. Id met her before but this was the first time I got to work with her. She's a very good model. Professional and friendly, poses very well.

I can 100% recommend her.

Raf Van den Bogaert

I had a shoot with Olive. She is a model with professional attitude.

Both the communication before and during the shoot itself went smoothly. She poses very naturally both after directions and in poses she takes herself, everything very fluid. An easy model to work with and a nice personality. If you are looking for a model with a classy look, I highly recommend her. I certainly look forward to the next collaboration.

Olive is a really great model to work with. She has a great personality and flows very naturally in her way of posing. She barely needs any corrections from the photographer. A true recommandation for aesthetic nude art shoots!

We had a lovely two day shoot with a variety of sunlight offering us different moods and settings. From the antique mirror to the 260 year old oak floorboards we explored. I am very pleased with her easygoing nature, sensitivities and gentleness along with her elegant poise. Highly recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Olive on a photoshoot and I have to say, she truly exceeded my expectations. Not only is she beautiful, but she has a unique and striking look with her red hair and bright blue eyes. When the camera is on her, she knows exactly how to work it and her natural talent shines through. She is a true professional and I highly recommend her to anyone who has the opportunity to book her for a shoot. She truly stands out from the crowd and you won't be disappointed.

Olive has quickly become a bit of a go to model for me and whenever she's around I try and work with her. I just know it's going to be a totally relaxing, inspiring and enjoyable experience.

Thanks again for making the trip to Antwerp and as per usual loved everything about working with you.

Olive has an innate sense of style and poses seamlessly to match the circumstance of a shoot. Not only are the resulting photographs intensely compelling and infinity satisfying Olive is a delight to be around, her poise, curiosity and sense of fun is uplifting. I thoroughly enjoyed our recent shoot and I wholeheartedly recommend Olive.

I had the pleasure of working 1-2-1 with Olive for the first time at the Albert & Victoria studio in Southport. Olive has a wonderful personality, bubbly, full of energy and has a great sense of humour, making her very easy to get along with and a joy to work with. Pre shoot comms were perfect and Olive was prompt and very well prepared for the shoot. This talented young lady has a wonderful creative ability to work with you posing effortlessly and creating amazing shots putting 110% effort into every shot. If you are lucky enough to work with Olive, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Very highly recommended. Thanks for your patience and a fantastic shoot, looking forward to working together again on your next visit to the UK :)

The first visit for Olive to my Studio, communication before the shoot was brilliant. From the first images it was really clear that this Irish rose was someone with real talent, needing no direction a true professional. Four hours just disappeared, we will be having Olive back again and I just may have to take a trip to Rotterdam. Thank you, Olive, really recommend to all.

Het eerste bezoek van Olive aan mijn studio, de communicatie voor de shoot was briljant. Vanaf de eerste afbeeldingen was het echt duidelijk dat deze Ierse roos iemand was met echt talent, die geen leiding nodig had van een echte professional. Vier uur zijn net verdwenen, we hebben Olive weer terug en misschien moet ik een tripje naar Rotterdam maken. Bedankt, Olive, echt een aanrader voor iedereen.

I was delighted and pleasantly surprise when Olive messaged me a couple of months ago to say that she was touring in my area and she asked if was interested in shooting with her. I had seen Olive's portfolio and I am a big admirer of her work so naturally I jumped at the chance.

Pre-shoot comms were fantastic, with Olive replying within minutes of receiving a message every time. We worked out a shoot plan which involved some bodyscape, low key artistic nude, boudoir and some fashion - all of which Olive was comfortable to do.

On the day Olive arrived on time and before we got down to shooting we sat down with a cup of tea to "get to know each other" and discuss the forthcoming shoot.

Then came the hard work and my goodness Olive worked hard! I was blown away with her ability to get into a pose, hold it, whist I faffed around with my camera and the lighting, and then she moved effortlessly into another pose, either with or without direction.

We did much of the stuff we had planned with breaks for drinks and reviews in between each set

I had originally booked Olive for six hours but as things were going well I asked her if she would agree to extend the booking by a further two hours and she kindly agreed.

As I am a disabled photographer (wheelchair user) Olive was kind enough to stay on longer than the allotted time to help me de-rig.

Olive is a fantastic model, very professional, skilled, talented, patient and creative with, as I have already said, fantastic posing ability. She's also a lovely person, warm, kind friendly and witty.

A few days after the shoot I was talking to a mutual acquaintance and saying how much I enjoyed the shoot and the response was "I knew you would like her"

Olive's skill, talent and knowledge as a model, along with her fantastic personality means that anyone booking her will have a fun relaxed shoot and come away with a plethora of superb images.

I had a lovely time working with Olive and hope to do so again.

Olive is 100% recommended by me so if you get a chance to work with her you definitely should do so.

Michael Hayes

Did a shoot with Olive yesterday, although we had met before during a shoot where I was lighting adviser. Before the shoot communication was perfect about the actual booking and theme for shoot.

Olive arrived on time and well prepared.

During the shoot Olive is totally a joy to shoot, completely relaxed, and very keen that you get the shots you are looking for. It becomes very obvious that Olive is very passionate not only about modelling but also photography. We had great chats while we were shooting.

After the shoot Olive sat down with a cup of tea and chatted away again.

I am very pleased with the shots I got, and the number of greats shots too.

Thanks Olive, see you again :)

I had my first shoot with 'Olive' today. Very impressed from the start. Fast response on messages. Met her on time. She put up graciously with my inane ramblings but it was in the studio where she shone.

She has a multitude of poses and also takes direction.

We had a very relaxed shoot. For me it was a little experimental in the types of shots I was taking and her look suited my shots perfectly. She listened to my ideas and contributed her own.

I will definitely shoot with her again - that brings my 'defo' list to two.

Definitely recommend.

LuzFotoz

Olive was professional and hardworking during our session. Very responsive to direction and good at posing. Patient with my ideas – especially the ones that didn’t work out !

She was friendly and helpful with a great outlook. Good communication and highly recommended.
