Been wanting to work with Stephanie for ages and I wasn't disappointed. She is so professional and really gives you the mood and emotions asked for. A creative lady who is fun to be around. Can thoroughly recommend. Will work with her again sometime for certain.

Thanks Steph for a great day and a great shoot.

It's been a while since I shot with Steph; last Friday I kept asking myself why I'd waited so long.

Steph is a wonderfully intuitive model with a clear understanding of how to get the best out of each set of shots.

We did a studio shoot with a mixture of high key and more moody lighting and I have a fab set of images from the day :-)

Our comms were brilliant, Steph was punctual and well prepared. She brought some lovely outfits to the shoot.

Thanks for a great day Steph :-)

My 2nd shoot with Steph after a year, and what a fabulous day it was too! Steph just projects so much class in front of the camera, you can't fail to get great images. I was so pleased with the shots as we were reviewing them on the TV screen in the room, I just knew there were gems among them. As I said, it was a superb day, relaxed and unhurried; and the resultant images are the proof of how good a day it really was.

Lovely to spend a day shooting with; Steph is one of those models that simply lift your port' to another level.

Thanks again Steph, so chuffed with what we achieved! :)

Stephanie is my favourite person to shoot with, we have now shot together too many times to count tbh, but it never ever disappoints, she is one of the most creative professional persons I’ve ever met, her energy level to continue to strive to get the next image is never ending.

Stephanie stayed with us for a few days with me and my sons on holiday in Portugual, the shots we did together were some of the best I’ve ever taken, and all thanks to her, for going beyond just posing, she is always looking at the whole image, and how it will finally look.

Im lucky enough to count her as a close friend, and we have further plans to shoot together, Valenica here we come.

Had a great shoot with Steph today in Camberley. She was a delight to work with, lovely personality, offered lots of ideas, posed beautifully and listened to instruction if given.

We covered a wide range of different locations around the house/studio using mostly natural light. Each location resulted in some lovely creative images.

Pre shoot communications were excellent.

Would highly recommend Steph.

Steph was wonderful to shoot with. A consummate and dedicated professional, she'd clearly given my style some consideration before the shoot - she adapted extremely well and was full of ideas. She exudes presence and grace and makes difficult poses seem effortless. Heartily recommended!

Spent a rewarding day with Stephanie at Old Beaupre Castle and Limpert Bay near Cardiff, Wales. It was a substitute for two cancelled location shoots, and a lot of prior messing about, which she took very gracefully in her stride. Her communication before the day was excellent, and she recommended a MUA who was great too.

It was a fashion based shoot, with three costume changes. The first required a tramp across fields of long wet grass, inhabited by cows. Steph took it entirely in her stride (literally and figuratively), toting the costume for part of the way, me being burdened by camera equipment. With makeup completed and Steph suitably garbed, she interpreted the idea with poise and grace and humour. She made several very helpful suggestions which I accepted and which helped the morning to pass profitably. Her poses were spot on and her appreciation of the light showed her experience, using it to advantage all the time. She took what little direction I provided with willingness and ease.

We then decamped to Limpert Bay, where Steph willingly waded towards the ebbing sea, splashed through sea water pools, and slipped and slid across stretches of seaweed. Her shoes were soaked and muddy, but not a word of complaint passed her lips, and her poses were simply magnificent. Again, she interpreted the idea, inspired by the bodycon dress she was wearing.

The final change was to a grungy, tomboyish, modern girl look, and again she rose to the occasion, resulting in lots of great images.

Throughout she was gracious, helpful, tactful, and totally professional. She was completely committed to the shoot and rapidly earned my respect and admiration. I look forward to the privilege and pleasure or working with her again.

I booked Stephanie recently for a photo shoot. From the word go she was very efficient professional and prompt to reply to my queries. She arrived at the studio in perfect time and was well prepared. The photography went very well and Stephanie’s level of experience was obvious. She was easy to work with and the atmosphere was very pleasant and enjoyable. Stephanie worked with ease and the results were in excess of what I needed. I would highly recommend her. On a personal level, Stephanie is very interesting, quiet, gentle and relaxed. It was a pleasure meeting her and spending time in her company. Her figure is superb supported by her ability to change facial expression and her ability to pose is beyond question. I look forward to working with her again. Highly recommended. Well worth booking.

I had the opportunity to shoot with this amazing young lady when she ventured to a venue close to me. Her communication skills were spot on and made the day a breeze. I was able to tap into her experience not just her modelling skills and terrific Ideas around the location but also her knowledgable camera expertease and great suggestions for positioning for the ultimate use of light and shadow. Stephanie is a beautiful, tactful and elegant person, being a total joy to shoot with. We chatted for most of the time between shots with Stephanie seamlessly gliding from one terrific pose to another. She was totally committed to ensuring the shoot was a success and that I came away with a folder full of potential drawings. I would definately recommend Stephanie 100% and look forward to shooting again. Thank You for a well productive and enjoyable day.

Stephanie is a beautiful and glamorous model - and so it seemed virtually criminal to ask her to deliberately 'dress down' to achieve a post-apocalyptic look. She enthusiastically made herself up with dark eyes, blood (fake) and even some realistic scarring/bruising - and donned some clothing I had 'distressed'

I couldn't have achieved the look I wanted without her spirited assistance and the time passed in a flash.

I strongly recommend shooting with her - she makes it all so easy.

Finally Stephanie and I managed to get together and shoot again and I'm super happy with the results!

Stephanie works quickly and professionally, brought a great selection of attire and had make-up and hair ready promptly.

She's easy to talk to as well and has some seriously strong and varied poses!

I'll be shooting her again for sure after the success of this time. Anyone who books Stephanie can expect a reliable, versatile model and a fun shoot!!

It had been a while since I last worked with Stephanie, but I was really excited to do so again at private residence 'Mead and Meadows' in Essex, where we shot Art Nude in Natural Light only, using various locations around the house, including the Cellar.

Stephanie is fully body confident, and has an incredible ability to find the most amazing poses, pushing herself to the limit, which sometimes left me thinking, 'No she can't possibly do that', and then she did!

She also made excellent suggestions as we progressed from location to location on where her style and the light would work best for her, and she was not wrong. Her work ethic is phenomenal, and she also has such a lovely easy going personality.

I'm so pleased we were able to work together again, and hopefully it won't be so long before doing so again.

I can 100% throughly recommend Stephanie to all levels of photographers, particularly if the style required is Art Nude.

Thank you Stephanie for a rockin' day! : )

Had my first shoot today with Stephanie at my home studio/apartment. Pre-shoot communications were excellent even when I was in India!!!

Stephanie arrived on time, her make-up was applied to a very high standard her hair was done to an immaculate standard and she was ready to shoot almost immediately.

Stephanie is a stunning girl, striking face, beautiful skin and with a well-toned body and she is a great poser she posed without any direction, most of the time she read my mind and changed up the posing before I had a chance to ask.

As well as being a very professional, dedicated model, she has a great personality and good sense of humour which ensured we had plenty of laughs and had a very relaxed shoot.

Stephanie worked VERY, VERY hard to ensure I captured the right images, after the first few test shots, I knew I would not have any trouble creating some fantastic images. Highly recommended for every level of photographer, looking forward to our next shoot.

Had seen Stephanie's work on PP (including some FPI) ,on her FB, instagram and liked the looks Stephanie can produce for the camera (and that she doesn't take herself too seriously too). Arranged to shoot with Stephanie while she was on flying visit to London and I'm so glad she agreed to the shoot. She's a great model, a great person and her humour is very on the ball. Stephanie poses with artistic splendor and she knows how to give the camera poses that it will love. I love a model that will work with you to improve pictures from feedback while looking at them on set. Stephanie also has a very photographic eye in that she was offering up set ideas, had lots of outfits to work with and taught me a thing or two about shooting in a different style than I normally do.

The shoot went by far too quickly and I could happily spend a day shooting pictures of Stephanie. I look forward to working with her again in the future especially on location as she mentioned several places I'd really like to get to and shoot her at those locations.

I'd highly recommend Stephanie and she is one of the easiest models to work with to help a photographer capture great images.

I had a really good shoot with Stephanie. She was professional from start to finish and clearly her experience shines through.

We shot a number of varied looks, and throughout Stephanie was easy to work with.

Definitely recommended.

Stephanie is the consummate professional, but also great fun to create with, always willing to offer advice and her inner strength and continued energy to add that something extra is amazing.

I was editing yesterday's shoot earlier today, and I was really, really impressed and spoilt for choice for stunning images.

A star, so if you hadn't booked Stephanie, you really should, first timers, old timers please go book her.? You will get some great shots no shadow of a doubt.

I love shooting with this girl. When we meet up it is always fun and always a successful shoot. Steph is always reliable, organised and prepared. This time I travelled to her and she had sorted out fantastic locations. She looked amazing in the landscapes and the ideas just flowed. Steph makes shooting with her an absolute joy, producing a multitude of workable images due to her confidence and work ethic. Steph goes the extra mile to make sure you produce images to be proud of.

Stephanie Dubois is one of those models who i have followed since i first really got into photographing models. She always looked like she carried an elegance and strong look but also an ability to freeze an emotion in time - a real talent. Her art nude is outstanding and made me want to work with her almost straight away. Flash forward 3 years and here we are today.

Stephanie Dubois is an onion! When you first meet she is everything you expected, but the more time we spent working together the more layers I found to her, she has an outstanding eye, she looks at a location and can pinpoint all of the outstanding areas, angles and isn't afraid to work to the extreme to get there.

So i mention extreme about, 2 days in Wales - forecasts were amazing all week...day 1 of 2...well...the first shoot was a challenge..the rain and the wind came - i half expected we would have to call it..but to my delight Stephanie worked through it and not only posed flawlessly in the conditions but thrived. The day went on like this with Gale force winds, rain and the occasional bit of sunshine and calm she was right there with me in the thick of it for the full 2 days.

We found amazing locations, which she was amazing at working with me on. Stephanie also decided my playlist in the car needed some work..especially as we found classics such as Aqua, Glee and others to mention..she introduced me to some new bands...bonobo and bent which actually made our drives to locations really cool!

Would i recommend - YES! Precomms, planning and shoots were flawless. She is

funny, committed and has hair that rocks even when dunked into the atlantic ocean or the odd waterfall :P

All in all, 2 amazing days in amazing locations with Stephanie Dubois - aka the Gnome Onion.

I have photographed Stephanie on several occasions which have always resulted in excellent images. But then again this is to be expected as she is a true professional model in all departments that is slick, polished and very accomplished at what she does. Steph is a bright sharp lady that is also an excellent communicator and conversationalist when a camera is not being pointed at her. This of course is of benefit to the planning of images in addition to making her a nice person to be in the company of. Highly recommended model. :)

I was fortunate enough to meet and work with Stephanie while she was on tour in Australia during which time we spent a week together modelling for an art nude location workshop in Tasmania.

All I can say is she certainly lives up to all the positive words that have been written about her! She is extremely dedicated to her art, passionate about making beautiful work, really knows how to work a pose, and is an absolutely lovely person to boot! Highly recommended x
