Saph is an amazing model - pre/post comms were excellent and her enthusiasm and planning for shoots also excellent. She has a great ability to create mood and atmosphere with all shots and also adds her own unique take on styles as well as taking on board a photographers vision also!

I applied to Saph’s casting because her portfolio made me think we could work well together. I was not wrong.

Pre-shoot communications were good, Saph was to attend my home to shoot. Saph arrived super early to where we’d agreed to meet, she let me know and assured me she was fine exploring area until I was ready. Once I was organised, we revised where to meet as she was closer to my flat. This happened to be at a local sculpture. Saph described the artwork with the exact word I use to describe it (which may or may not be intended by the creator). Excellent.

I picked Saph up, she was impeccably turned out so we shot her first in what she arrived wearing after reviewing what she brought with her, a smorgasbord of styles leaving us spoilt for choice. We discussed ideas, then got to work.

The day of the London marathon, we shot for longer than many runners would take to complete the course a great variety of sets, hugely enjoyable day. We utilised natural light for all but the last set when the light was fading, both in house and adventuring out on location for some guerrilla sets. (Not the primate, Saph model cosplays so I thought I should make that clear). Outdoors was busy given the sun was out & local market, but Saph delivered unfazed.

Inside, there was a lot of laughing. What is wrong with a photographer shooting from within a wardrobe or cupboard? Should I explain, no this is already getting lengthy. I had my trademark mishaps bumping into things & knocking stuff over. Saph was helpful when I needed to move things around supporting without being asked. We utilised some shadows on my balcony, we shot some boudoir, we shot a superhero inspired theme with the aid of my wind machine. Another memorable set was Saph in latex, especially when she began to play football. I stopped shooting to join in for a bit. Then she got in the softbox. But my sink wasn’t big enough. She has a wonderful idea for a Belfast/Butler sink shoot. I think she means the water holders not shooting with a butler in Belfast.

Despite the length of the shoot Saph retained energy, creativity and enthusiasm throughout. She did go wandering off now and again, so I had to go find her when I realised there was no model in front of my camera. I’m not sure if I was boring her in those moments or whether she spotted things that immediately required her attention elsewhere.

I managed to find her for us to finish off with a controlled light set.

Only a requirement to catch the booked train home curtailed our shooting. I think Saph could shoot for days on end without stopping.

We regularly reviewed back of camera what we were capturing and I feel we have created some fine imagery.

There were also memorable tea breaks. We chatted amongst other things about Victoriana.

Right, enough insight, to summarise, Saph is personable, professional was prepunctual. She needs no direction but delivered any requests I had. Saph contributed hugely to whatever we’ve achieved, she has a fine creative mind, boundless energy, extensive wardrobe. Versatile, she can capture crazy, be demure, project allure. A wonderful collaborator whom I would be delighted to shoot with again.

Saph has a great personality, she is very energetic and keen to try new things.

We did a shoot in Avon river in the water. She brought a variety of outfits to do the shoot and very open to get the cloths wet in the river.

I highly recommend working with Saph, we will do another shoot soon for sure.

I had my first shoot with Saph yesterday and it was a fantastic experience. Preshoot comms were excellent and we discussed a variety of styles.

She arrived on time with a huge variety of outfits! We worked together for close to 5 hours. I captured some amazing images which included cosplay outfits of Alice in Wonderland and an air hostess! I am not sure Topsham will recover any time soon if at all!

Saph is intelligent, funny, fun and went way above and beyond to ensure I captured some great images. She climbed a tree, could well have ruined a pair of shoes and grabbed the chance to jump on a train and pose before it left the station!

The time flew by and although we shared a lot of laughs whilst shooting Saph is incredibly professional, poses well without direction and offered me some great advice, which I really appreciated.

I really hope I get the opportunity to work with her again soon, and would recommend working with her no matter what your level of experience as a photographer.

Had a lovely shoot with Saph last week and a great model to shoot with

Pre talks were good and turned up early with a bag of outfits and posed well without directions

Would recommend her and love to shoot with her again

Always a great pleasure for me to work on a shoot with Saph. Cheeky fun totally professional and super creative.

I was on this shoot as a tutor and studio gofer as Oakfield Images was keen to learn more about studio lighting and portait work.

Saph knew exactly what was required and what outfits would suit what we were trying to achieve ( benefit of great pre shoot comms). Every outfit was on point and allowed us to shoot each outfit in different scenarios.

I adore working with this lady and never tire of the enthusiasm and creativity she brings.

Again 100% recommended.

Today was my first shoot with Saph. Communications were good. I found her very easy to work with and we created a good number of images that I am very pleased with. I am hoping we can shoot together again in the near future. Reccomended.

Had another fabulous shoot with Saph today. This time, however, Saph was helping with one of my music videos. It was a short shoot, but it was fun and I got the shots I wanted. I would highly recommend Saph to anyone.

I had a fabulous shoot with Saph today. Pre shoot comms were excellent. She had a long way to travel and kept me up to speed with her journey progress.

She threw herself whole heartedly into the shoot, and also brought additional pieces of costume and props. Despite having to cut the shoot short due to my batteries failing, I think we got some fabulous images and I can't wait to edit them.

Saph needed very little direction and really is a pleasure to work with. It really was a collaboration, with ideas flowing from both of us. I have no reservations in recommending Saph to anyone.

Would I recommend Saph? Has Judith Chalmers got a passport?

Absolutely, and for so many reasons. To kick off with the most important elements, Saph didn't need any direction to get the look I wanted. To repeat, no direction was needed.

Saph was on time and arrived at the location before me (although I did drive 130 miles). She was superbly-prepared with an array of outfits of all kinds, all of which were ideally sited for the shoot.

Turning to the location, this was absolutely first class in every respect.

And finally, Saph is simply good company too - engaging, VERY funny indeed - in other words, the ideal model.

It's a bit of a cliche to say if you haven't shot with this model then you should, and it certainly applies to Saph. Thanks, and looking forward to the next one.

This was some time in the making due to both of us having to reschedule, but well worth waiting for. Pre-shoot communications were at the right level and Saph turned up with the right clothing to fit the brief. Saph took direction well during the shoot and contributed hugely to such a productive and enjoyable shoot. Finally it is a pleasure to meet a model who looks at detail in the images produced and is not afraid to explain how she wants image processed.

Another fabulously fun shoot with Saph. Taking advantage of the weather and visited the beach with smoke grenades and cheerleader outfits.

Ideas flowing, back to the studio and keeping up the Jubilee vibe.

Super fun and talented lady, love soending creative time with her.

Totally professional, totally recommended.

Met Saph at the Bristol social last month and we immediately knew we wanted to work together. We chatted styles and shoot options and settled on a set using Saph's beloved Double Bass as the catalyst of the shoot.

Saph had a variety of dress and lingerie items that fitted our theme perfectly.

Saph is a lovely charmingly chilled lady to work with and a total chameleon, as a model she can give you every emotion you want from soft demure to hot hot sensual in a second. We captured 4 sets all based around the big bass and I love everything we did.

Saph is a beguiling lady to capture on camera, can't wait to work with her again as soon as our diary's allow. No hesitation to recommend 100%.

I shot with Saph a few weeks back and she managed to fit me in despite a busy weekend so was very grateful.

It was a video shoot that was fairly new to Saph but she settled into it with absolute ease. She is a true natural when it came to modelling. She even led the direction at times rather than me having to dictate what I wanted.

We chatted all the way through the shoot and had a great day of shooting and a nice walk. I perhaps owe her a bit of overtime as the shoot lasted longer than planned.

I look forward to our next shoot which will be in the near future

I had my first shoot today with Saph after she applied to my casting to use costumes. After a good pre shoot plan with date and times etc it turned out very well. We had some new outfits which we were lucky in them fitting so well to show them off to their full potential.

Saph also brought her own wardrobe that we also worked our way through so I also got different styles for my portfolio.

We started of slow just to get to know how we would work together and I'm pleased to say it was perfect and we rattled through the shoot gaining much more than I had planned.

Saph was very professional and such fun to work with and with her posing first class.

Therefore I can only give her my highest recommendation as I have added to my portfolio and look forward to future projects together.

Now and Then Photography

I cannot rate Saph enough. Whatever the project she is on board and gives it her all. Always a fun shoot. Late night town centre followed by a little location scout to find the location and car for our digital creation. Love the final image.

Great first shoot with Saph. Excellent communications and professional attitude. Saph travelled to me and brought some quality outfits. High energy, great fun and easy to direct. Highly recommended.

Saph, what to Say,

Starting with the boring stuff punctual, great pre shoot communications, willing to dress the part,

Now the interesting part, God has she got some energy, full of life, really wanting to get it right, I was " working " so didn't spend as much time with her as the other 4 photographers there, so hopefully we can get a solo shoot organised

Great to meet you Saph

I had a truly remarkable shoot with Saph.

Her communications was clear and constant, we arranged the date and time and I was contacted to ensure we were still on. Arrival time was prompt and considering I had not given Saph much information about the style of shoot (it was relatively short notice general casting) Saph arrived with a suitcase full of outfits. Took the time to show me what she had brought and we planned the costumes and order ready for the shoot. The shoot itself was unhurried, the outfits and make-up was spot on and we had a fun time working out poses etc. All in all I would love to work with Saph again and would recommend her for absolutely any style of modelling as she is so versatile. Thank you Saph.

Fantastic model. Confident and poses with and without direction. A model that loves to get that image for you and gives a great fun shoot. Will definitely be shooting with her again.
