I had my first shoot yesterday with Sophia, at Kempston Studio in Bedford. It’s hard to believe that she has only been doing studio modelling for a few months, such is her natural talent for it. She has a wonderful look and is a delight to work with. She is more than happy to take direction but is also full of her own ideas and Is happy to contribute them. Sophia is one of those models you could shoot with all day and still not run out of ideas.

I was so impressed by Sophia that I immediately booked another shoot with her, and there can be no higher recommendation than that.

I had my first shoot with Sophia on Monday during her model day at Kempston Studio. What I can say that hasn't already been said in other reviews?

It was a great couple of hours shooting. Sophia is just easy to chat to, enthusiastic, and just comes across as a really likeable person. She's also a stunning, professional, model who made the whole shooting process go smoothly.

Sophia had come prepared with a whole range of outfits and after bouncing a few ideas around, we had an agreed action plan, shooting a mixture of portrait and fashion. Sophia was happy running through poses without direction, but also happy to work with the occasional suggestion.

Very happy with the images I got and definitely want to work with Sophia again. Highly recommended!

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and shooting with Sophia for the first time at Kempston Studio, when i had booked onto one of her Studio days.

I have loved Sophia's work for some time and jumped at the opportunity to shoot with her; my only regret is only booking her for 2 hours. Pre comms were first class, i had provided Sophia with a small mood board and she came armed with all the items i had asked for.

Sophia is a sheer delight to work with, she's vivacious, kind, has a lovely personality, very easy to chat too. On top of all this she can pose without any need for direction, flowing easily from one pose to another, remained very professional at all times and is just beautiful!

A very competent model on all fronts, whom will not disappoint.

Overall Sophia is just "superb" and therefore I am very happy to Highly Recommend her to photographers of all levels seeking to achieve some great images which is guaranteed!

Thanks again Sophia.

I'd hoped to get chance to shoot with Sophia for a while and was able to today at her studio day at Kempston House studio. So glad I got chance to work with her.

Sophia is a talented model who is awesome to work with! I'd only booked two hours which flew by. I highly recommend working with her!

Genuinely hope I get to shoot with her in the future.

Thanks for a great shoot Sophia

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Sophia Gray - nearly 60 positive references in 7 months says it all really. I have loved Sophia's work since the day she burst onto the scene back in the spring of 2023. There was something about her that stood out from all the others.

I contacted her about a shoot shortly after she joined PP, but circumstances and timing meant that I had to wait. But it was worth it. Pre-shoot comms were excellent, we kept in touch for several months and threw ideas about when we had booked the shoot.

Meeting Sophia for the first time was a little worrying - often those you admire don't meet your expectation. Sophia was everything I expected and a lot more - charming, delightful, witty and totally relaxed.

We ran through the ideas one last time and then got stuck in. Straight away, in the very first set I saw what it was that everyone else has talked about - the professionalism, the ability to change mood was like flipping a switch - girl next door to sensual temptress in the blink of the eye, the attention to detail with her posing and the smooth transitions. Sophia really does go that little bit further to achieve the shots envisaged by the photographer. As I think Rob at TBG Studio said, Sophia displays a level of professionalism and precision of pose rarely seen in a model so new.

Our two hours together were simply not enough - and that is why I have booked a slot at her next visit to Kempston (whenever that might be!). We have also discussed a trip down to the south coast in the new year.

Overall, great model, great fun to be around, very professional and highly recommended by me....and a slam dunk into my Purpleport Royalty List. Thanks Sophia.

Where on earth do I start? I have respected Sophias work for some time and finally got the opportunity of a 4 hour studio shoot with her today at Fareham Studio. Her pre-shoot coms were perfect, prompt, succinct, simple - what more do you need? I collected her from her home - a little late as I was stuck behind an accident on the A3 and she was ready, cheerful and raring to go when I got there. Bouncing full of cheerful enthusiasm.

We got to the studio and she had brought with her an exquisite selection of outfits and lingerie to shoot with, it is clear she had considered our pre-shoot ideas with care and after a quick bouncing of ideas we had selected a series of ideas and Andy and I set up the lighting and backdrop to compliment them. Sophia is clearly passionate about her modelling and it comes through in her great selection of poses. She already has an understanding of posing in consideration of the lighting set up and is enthusiastic and energetic in her work. She is very capable of posing undirected but also welcomes creative input from the photographer.

Sophia is a delight to shoot with, bringing professionalism and a superb work ethic to the shoot but also a warm, bubbly, kind, enthusiastic, sincere injection of fun as well.

I absolutely recommend Sophia to the professional, amateur and hobbyist photographer, she will not disappoint. I am absolutely super happy with the shots that we achieved together and I am very much looking forward to our next shoot.

Thank you Sophia :-)

Including a group shoot I organised at Fareham Studio, this was our fourth shoot in five months.

In that time, it's been a bit of a whirlwind for Sophia, She has gone from strength to strength and is arguably one of the most popular and busiest of models here on PP.

Dare I say we have become friends and there's a great deal of trust between us. We have tried different genres and I agreed that no images would be posted without prior approval.

This latest shoot was at my own studio, where we spent a lovely relaxed four hours together as per usual, having a good old chin wag, before we started to create any images. We managed to do quite a number of sets from jumpers, ripped jeans, various tops and a little bit of implied topless. To keep her dignity and to keep to her levels, please note, Sophia's important places were always covered. She was merely trying out this genre to see if she feels comfortable doing so.

For those of you who have worked with Sophia, you do not need me to tell you how lovely she is, how easy she is to talk to. She is bright, beautiful and has taken to modelling like a duck to water. For those of you who have not booked a shoot with Sophia, you only need to take a look at her portfolio to see how great she is.

I hope to continue my association with this lovely young lady and will look forward to my next shoot with her. Anyone who has thought of booking a shoot with Sophia, should do so now!

This was my fifth shoot with Sophia and the second at my flat/studio in Brighton. It is difficult to add anything new to my previous glowing references and to the dozens of positive references written by other photographers on here.

Sophia is a wonderful sensitive person, who is still relatively new to this business (as am I) and she is still very much feeling her way with the different genres whilst ensuring that she does not compromise her dignity. Only a few months ago she started as a ‘girl next door’ type of model but in a few short months she has elevated her career to be one of the most sought after and therefore most popular models on PP - and rightly so. She has even been approached by iconic professional commercial photographers for shoots and this is because she has a wonderfully photogenic beauty and style. I am convinced she will go far and she deserves every success.

Despite all this success she has managed to maintain her lovely open and friendly approach with an enthusiastic manner that is infectious and makes every shoot a real pleasure.

I recommend Sophia unreservedly. You won’t regret it.

I had my first of what will hopefully be many shoots with the wonderful Sophia today. It was obvious straight away why she has taken the world of Purpleport by storm, with an infectious energy and personality that was a joy to be around.

Our shoot was at the backend of a busy 3 days of shooting at TBG Studios (Rob was a wonderful host by the way), however Sophia’s enthusiasm for her work was like it was her first shoot of the month!

Such a talented model, she is a delight to photograph and I can’t wait to share some of our work.

Thanks again Sophia, you were great! 🙌🏻

Prezent Tense

I knew from the moment I saw Sophia’s profile on PP, I wanted to work with her. We were finally able to set up a date for her to come up to TBG to shoot, and to say I was excited, is an understatement.

I sent Sophia some homework and moodboard before our shoot which helped us get up to speed very quickly and allowed us to get some amazing images straight away. It only got better the longer we were able to shoot! Sophia has a natural ability to use her eyes and body language to get some really incredible looks that we are both very pleased with.

Sophia is down to earth and an absolute sweetheart and full of creative ideas. She definitely needs to be on your Want to Shoot list.

Sophia, thank for coming up to shoot, I look forward to the two of us creating some more epic images in the future.

Had been talking to Sophia about a shoot for a few weeks and when she confirmed she was holding a studio day at TBG, I had to participate. Nearly didn't happen for a multitude of reasons, but it did, and I am so glad!

Sophia is just fabulous - great look, very friendly and chatty, just got the shoot vibes and we had a blast. Everyone will see the results and they will certainly speak for themselves as there some incredible BOC images!

Time flew by and I am already thinking about sorting another in 2024...

Totally recommended by me...

TBG Studio

I recently had the pleasure of hosting and shooting with the exceptionally talented model, Sophia, at my studio. What was supposed to be a 1 day studio day turned into a 5 day shootathon!!!

Despite being relatively new to the modeling scene, Sophia showcased a level of experience that far surpassed her short time in the industry.

From the moment she stepped into the studio, it was evident that Sophia was not just another model, she was a professional with a genuine passion for her craft. Her warm and friendly demeanor created a positive atmosphere, making the entire shoot a delight for everyone involved.

What truly set Sophia apart was her work ethic. Throughout the studio day she demonstrated an unwavering commitment to ensuring that every participant obtained the images they envisioned. Sophia's dedication to her work was truly commendable, and her willingness to go the extra mile did not go unnoticed.

Beyond her stunning physical appearance, Sophia's ability to embody different moods and styles was truly impressive. Her versatility as a model allowed us to capture a diverse range of shots, each one highlighting her adaptability and keen understanding of the art of modeling.

One of the standout qualities that struck me was Sophia's receptiveness to feedback. Despite her evident talent, she remained open to suggestions and collaborated seamlessly with photographers to bring their collective vision to life. This level of professionalism is often rare in newer models, but Sophia handled it with grace and enthusiasm.

In conclusion, Sophia's recent visit to my studio left an indelible mark. Her combination of skill, charm, and hard work makes her a rising star in the modeling world. I have no doubt that Sophia's career will continue to flourish, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work with her again. If you're looking for a model who brings not only beauty but also professionalism and dedication to the table, Sophia is the perfect choice.

Loved catching up with Sophia for our first studio shoot together at the wonderful Factory.

Time went too quickly as we chatted and tried a few ideas, although one may not have worked out because of me, the payoff being how funny it was… 😂 Thx for your patience as I faffed around and for being such a brilliant sport. 🙇

Sophia’s all you could ever want to work with in every way - so highly recommended and really rather addictive, looking forward to our next one…

Trying to remember what I wrote last time - it was probably along the lines of amazing and incredible! :-)

But thanks Sophia for another fantastic shoot and embracing the vibe of the shoot today!

Can't wait to shoot with again in 2024. And as I said in my last reference, if you are considering working with Sophia - book her now!! :-)

Obviously very highly recommend :-)

I arranged a studio day with Sophia recently as I had been watching her portfolio grow day by day, Sophia has unique look that is second to none.

initial comms with Sophia were excellent, with almost immediate replies to my messages, which is always a positive sign for a studio owner.

We discussed in great length and detail on how we would both like the studio day to run and we were both on the same hymn sheet. Our ideas and humour worked really well together and before we new it the studio day was booked and upon us.

Sophia stayed in a hotel locally, so she would be at the studio in plenty of time on the day of the shoot. Her first photographer had booked a 4 hour slot and the variety of images and wardrobe she gave to the photographer was amazing.

We then worked on for another 4 hours giving various photographers the Photoshoot of their lives.

Sophia has such a fantastic attitude towards her profession, that I am sure it will take her to higher places in this very difficult modelling world.

I can honestly say Sophia was a fantastic person and model to work with and it is with no hesitation that I can highly recommend her 100%

David Austerberry

I'd been wanting a shoot with Sophia when the opportunity came for a session at Rawpics Studio.

I arranged a four-hour slot giving plenty of time for different looks and sets. I am really pleased with the results. Sophia is so easy to work with and has an engaging personality. She had brought and extensive wardrobe in a huge suitcase, enough for most styles. Sophia's posing is fantastic, such elegant, curvy shapes.

Whilst at the sudio I arranged a second shoot. The next will be a duo with Sophia and the inimitable Retro Rob, looking forward to it.

I would highly recommend this great model.

Just had a great shoot with Sophia at her studio day at Rawpics in Somerset.

Sophia is a brilliant model, perfectly suited to the retro style theme I was looking for. She has a great range of quality outfits, together with the perfect accessories required to produce the exact look I wanted.

A genuine delight to work with, Sophia is definitely very highly recommended and I certainly hope to work with her again soon.

One Bright Spark

I had the absolute pleasure and feel very privileged and honoured to have managed to book a shoot with Sophia, whilst she was down near to me, so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to shoot with her.

Sophia has such a natural beauty, presence and elegance about her and has been smashing PP for a while with some amazing shots and I can confirm that she is even more beautiful when you meet her in person and is a photographers dream model. Not only is she stunning in every way but an amazing lovely person, friendly and really great to chat to and get along with so she made the whole shoot a fantastic experience.

Our pre-communications were brilliant with lots of ideas exchanged about the shoot and Sophia kept me updated on dates and times etc. Sophia came prepared with a 'tardis' like suitcase with so many beautiful outfits so we were spoilt for choice. Luckily we had also managed to agree a beautiful location to match her classy elegant look so we had all the ingredients for a magical shoot. Even the weather played ball!

During the shoot Sophia posed gracefully and smashed every single shoot we took. She had so many poses but was also happy for me to direct for little subtle changes. She was happy to go with the flow and agreed to my request even bringing out her Panther!

I found we worked very much in collaboration, with our creative backgrounds working really well - this is sometimes not always an easy thing to do with two creative people but with Sophia it just worked.

We managed to get a range of amazing shots in different locations which I cannot wait to edit and publish and I am now hoping and praying that my photos do this super model justice.

Thank you sooooo much Sophia for being a totally amazing and beautiful person and I hope so much that we can work together again in the future,
