There was a group shoot at Fareham Studios last night and Sophia did three sets for a Gatsby inspired 1920’s shoot. She was a joy to work with and even struck the Charleston poses I was looking for. Great fun and REALLY hard working given the heels, smoke and submachine gun she was working with.

Whether you are new to working with models or more experienced Sophia really delivers great results. Highly recommended.

Another great shoot with Sophia, this one at the excellent Fareham Studio.

We started out from my mood board, matching up to Sophia’s extensive collection of outfits. I wanted a on-camera flash look to start to get a fashion vide. Sophia was patient as I set up my temporary flash bracket. The result looked good so I’ll get a proper bracket for the next time I do this.

Sophia is a dream to work with, looks good in every shot, and easy to work with. We collaborate dof the tethered laptop, and I was really pleased with the results.

Already planning another shoot, outdoors as weather finally warms up.

I can highly recommend Sophia, a great model.

I had the absolute pleasure and privilege to work with Sophia today on a location shoot….Wow, what a lovely person and fabulous model! Sophia’s choice of outfits were perfect and she looked absolutely stunning throughout. Sophia is so easy to get along with, not to mention patient as I repeatedly checked camera settings! She posed freely and naturally without any need for direction and I would have very happily spent another three hours shooting with her. Needless to say, I definitely will want to work with Sophia again and can only offer my highest recommendation. Thank you Sophia for a wonderful shoot.

It has been a pleasure working with Sophia.

Her versatility as a model is truly impressive. From the coffee shop to her garden, she effortlessly adapted to various settings, bringing a unique charm to each location. Her ability to showcase a range of styles and emotions captivated me, and we captured stunning photographs together.

Beyond her modelling skills, Sophia's engaging personality and friendly nature fostered a comfortable environment. Our conversations flowed naturally, and I valued our connection as both professional partners and friends. Her punctuality, commitment, and willingness to take direction were exceptional.

I wholeheartedly recommend her as a model. Sophia's versatility, engaging personality, and remarkable professionalism make her a valuable asset to any creative team. I am confident that Sophia's talent and work ethic will continue to lead her to success in your modelling career.

Great shoot with Sophia last week. She arrived well prepared with a great selection of clothing options. She was flexible and fun to work with. I am confident we have made some great images. Highly recommended.

My first shoot with Sophia was great fun and some great images were created. She arrived with a smile and a huge suitcase full of all sorts of interesting clothes. She was full of enthusiasm and keen to get some great images. She slips between poses always looking good and never running out of energy or ideas. It was fun shooting with her, she looks great, we made some great images and I would certainly recommend everyone to do the same.

Sophia is a brilliant model, reliable, good communication.

She has an excellent travelling wardrobe with a good choice of outfits.

I found Sophia easy and fun to work with an absolute pleasure.

I would definitely recommend Sophia, and look forward to the next shoot.

What a phenomenal model Sophia is.

I had the joy of shooting Sophia today & it was such a blast.

Sophia was effortlessly posing & transitioning between poses.

She just has a such a positive energy about her & the most infectious smile.

We had a fabulous shoot & got some killer shots to keep.

Highly recommended.

Had the absolute pleasure of shooting with Sophia during her model day at JB Studios and boy am I glad I took the chance to do so.

I had contacted her a few days beforehand with the ideas I wanted to do and she brought everything I'd asked for. We had a Wicked time creating Elphaba photos and then moved on to different colours with gel lighting. Throughout this Sophia was equally adept at free posing and working efficiently with my somewhat haphazard directions, all with a smile and a good sense of humour. The time flew by and I'm very happy with the photos I got.

I will 100% recommend Sophia to you all and hope to shoot with her again myself i the future.

Had my first shoot with Sophia today and wow I think I have just worked with a rock star

Pre shoot communications were excellent and she arrived with all the outfits we agreed.

She is intelligent, articulate and just fun to work with. We were chatting easily from the moment she arrived as a result of which the 4 hours flew by - always a great sign

Sophia poses naturally and easily and needs very little direction - just a suggestion here and there which she then develops with ease. In short she is a natural. And the charming thing is that she does not know just how good she is!😊

If you have read this far then you will know by now that she is highly recommended by me and we are already discussing our next shoot

Thank you Sophia for a fun and enjoyable morning

Had a great shoot with Sophia on the theme “artist at work”.

I photographed Sophia at work painting in her studio, and en plein air at the end of her garden.

It’s good to work without strobes sometimes, using natural light and fill from a reflector.

We shot several different looks as well as some outdoor portraits. I’ve worked with Sophia before and she doesn’t disappoint. I was pleased with the raw files on the laptop and looking forward to processing them.

Sophia is very easy to work with and just looks great. We talked about the next shoot, maybe a studio.

I’d highly recommend Sophia.

Finally got a shoot with Sophia! Sophia is a brilliant natural model, poses with ease and elegance needing no direction. Pre shoot communication was great and she arrived with many great outfits to fit what we were looking for.

Sophia is mad, funny, chatty, beautiful, great fun to spend time with and a brilliant model. My 2hrs was nowhere near enough, and will shoot with her again for sure.

Thanks Sophia for a fab couple of hours!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Sophia on our photoshoot today. From start to finish, she displayed the utmost professionalism and dedication to creating outstanding images together.

Sophia's experience truly shone through in her ability to naturally slip into poses and incorporate expert direction. Her facial expressions and body movements were always on point, making my job capturing her modelling talents that much easier. Sophia took feedback seamlessly while also exhibiting creativity in trying new angles and concepts.

In addition to her strong technical modelling skills, Sophia has a warm, friendly personality that creates a relaxed, collaborative atmosphere. She is the consummate partner - engaging and easy to work with. I was thoroughly impressed by Sophia's thoughtfulness and enthusiasm throughout our shoot.

I give Sophia my highest recommendation as a model. Her passion, versatility, and affable nature are outstanding assets to any photography project demanding a true professional in front of the lens. I look forward to the opportunity of working together again soon.

WOW. I shot with Sophia yesterday; I've had some great shoots recently and this is up with the best of them. One of those where you review the pictures and find your jaw has dropped, you're thinking 'blimey did I get that ... and that ... and that?'

You can judge Sophia's looks for yourself, when I saw the work she was delivering I thought that was a look I wanted to shoot. We had some ideas for the general vibe, but didn't want to do a direct copy of what she'd one with other photographers, so she came with a collection of clothes that were just right and we went from there. And from the very first shot we seemed to be in tune with each other. It's amazing that Sophia has less than year as a model behind her, because she naturally went to what I wanted with minimal direction from me - I'd give her an idea and she'd shape and build on it.

Factor in her enthusiasm, and an easy to like personality and working with her is a real pleasure. I've said a couple of times in references that 'this model makes me a better photographer' and looking at the results that's true of Sophia, so she's on my "must work with again" list - the time flew by and we didn't get close to running out ideas - and I'd definitely recommend her.

Three (3) fabulous SOLD OUT days with Sophia and a 4 hr shoot included, whats not to love. I tell you what, both the time spent in her company and the 4 hr shoot just wasn't enough!

Sophia as said before is just such a positive joyous person to be around and her energy is infectious the way she dances around the studio and her conversation on all subjects just keeps you engaged whilst you shoot.

Oh yes a pretty impressive model also, directional input from the photographer is seldom needed but if given received with a "can do" attitude within her levels.

There is nothing else I need to tell you about Sophia as a model other than don't forget me when you are really famous as I may still want an autograph!

Sophia has so many looks and far too many FPI's already for someone only modelling 10 months.

When the planet is about to flood again please take Sophia on the arc and the world will eventually be a better place!

So much love for this beautiful young lady.

Cannot wait until July and then October for Sophia's return(s).

My second shoot with the fabulous ball of energy that is Sophia Gray. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and Sophia brought just about everything I asked for. Wanted to do a more stripped back shoot this time, with the focus on Sophia and not on the set - so everything today was done against a plain backdrop.

Sophia is a natural in front of the camera whether you ask for sultry temptress or giggly girl next door, she can do it. With no set as such, today was all about the posing, and Sophia did not let me down. Hands perfectly positioned, hairy perfectly messy, each and every change of pose totally seamless.

Whether a beginner or a seasoned pro - book a shoot with Sophia. Her bubbly, friendly rapport will put you at ease. Totally recommended by me (and many others), thanks for a great shoot Sophia - and the laughs.

When the opportunity presented itself to shoot Sophia on her model day at Kempston studio, I grabbed it. Ever since seeing images of her on the 'recently loaded' pages on pp, I wanted to shoot her despite the fact that she was new to modelling (by her own admission). Well, if she was new to modelling 'her lack of experience' was certainly not evident throughout the session.

Sophia greeted me with an outstretched arm and a very confident handshake and a beautiful smile. Straight away I knew that it was going to be a great session.

I quickly ran through the MO for the proposed session and, within a few short minutes, Sophia was on the 'set'. The lights were more or less in the correct positions. I just checked for meter readings.

I had made Sophia aware earlier that I would take mainly portraits- she has an exceptionally beautiful face.

Her poses were fluent, (with absolutely no guidance from me) and confident. Expressions were exactly what I had asked of her. She held her poses too, despite my bad habit of wanting to check each shot on the LCD screen. We stopped for quick chats at appropriate times.

Sophia is very easy and fun to work with. Very professional and friendly. I greatly enjoyed the session. Unfortunately the time passed too quickly.

Sophia is totally 'shootable' and very highly recommended. I look forward to many more sessions. I came away with a far higher rate of great images than with more experienced models making selection difficult and with only negligible post editing.

I have no doubt that it won't be too long before fame (and fortune) knocks on her door and, Sophia, if you want help with your luggage as you travel the world, look no further!

Organised Chaos

So I have been wanting to a shoot with Sophia since she first came onto Purple Port & I just had my 1st of 3 shoots I have booked with this lovely, excellent lady.

Sophia is a bundle of energy & truly enjoys her shoots which comes across in her smile & joy you will notice.

Sophia is articulate , excellent range of poses , most enjoyable conversation which I enjoy in shoots , Sophia makes her shoots fun & is totally your best co creator of what you want to capture in images.

Big hug & look forward to seeing you again soon Sophia,

Alec.

Finally got the opportunity to work with Sophia at a studio day at Kempton Studios. What a fab person and wonderful model, she was more than happy to listen to a couple of concept ideas I had planned and super patient while Andy and I worked out the lighting. Poses effortlessly and has a good eye for detail, great at collaboration too which always maximises the quality of final images. Really wish I had booked longer time flew by, but we have already discussed our next shoot and have a couple of ideas bubbling so can't wait to work with her again.

Naturally 100% fully recommended you'll definitely come away with some excellent images

This was my second photoshoot with Sophia, and once again at the fabulous Kempston Studio in Bedford.

It's difficult to add to what so many others have already written about Sophia, including me in my first review of her last December. In summary I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is an absolutely brilliant model and a joy to work with. My only regret is that I wish I'd booked four hours with her instead of just two! Oh well, next time..........:)
