Saph signed up to my Castle Group shoot...twice and both times I was very lucky.

Third time lucky was my short but memorable shoot of this amazing model.

Thank you.

What to say...in short = I think Saph reads you like a book and will morph into making your shoot imaginings into reality.

Full of energy, outfits, experience and I do believe a big dollop of mischievousness.

Worked with all photographers in attendance.

I for one cannot wait to shoot with you again.

Having met Saph at the mid Somerset social we provisionally arranged to shoot which came to fruition today, despite the best efforts of both Notwork Rail and the bus Saph powered through and we managed to beat them and rendezvous.

Saph had sent me a mood board in the proceeding weeks and she arrived with a huge bag of suitable gear, most of which we put into use. Saph was comfortable to tackle any of my location ideas, most of which were very wet and dirty, she was more than happy to keep going even when it started to get really cold. I was amazed at her stamina and the ability to keep her enthusiasm on high when in wet muddy clothes. She has an ability to form into poses that suited our woodland location be it amongst the mossy rocks or the wet trees.

A very definite recommendation from me for Saph, I know we will shoot again soon.

Had a lovely duo shoot with Saph and JackieG both were on time and full of entusiasm. They had a real chemistry between them that made the shoot flow easily and we got some great results. Highly recommend both of them!

Always a look forward to event to work with the amazing Saph. We have worked together countless times. So this shoot was passed over to Saph to direct, and what a superb job she did.

So many great ideas and she brings a great sense of fun and tease to our sessions. I love working with Saph and watching her skill set grow.

If you get the chance to work with this chilled bundle of fun don't let it pass. Deffo no diva, 100% recommendation from me.

We worked together on a Halloween Group Shoot that I put together, unfortunately other models dropped out but Saph was still enthusiastic about the Shoot. Saph brought many outfits to choose from and was open minded to the ideas I wanted to create.

My second shoot with Saph where I was invited onto it for a makeup project. Saph arrived on time with the outfits required plus many more. Once the HMuA's had finished we set to work which was great fun. Saph played her part so well and helped the other models with poses etc.

I can highly recommend Saph as she puts so much effort into her modelling, so you get the type of image you're after.

Thanks for your time and efforts Saph no doubt we will be creating again.

Lovely to work with, communication was great both pre and during shoot.

Very open minded and kind would be a pleasure to work with saph again.

Saph was excellent at communication prior, and throughout the process. We discussed and agreed on the shoot. Saph has very good versatility with activities and posing and is ready to work with and offer other ideas. Very good fun to work with, spent most of the day laughing, even with the occasional surprise during the day. Highly recommend and really hope I get to work with Saph again.

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.

Dicky Gee

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.

SDW Images

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.
