I had a shoot with Enigmatise1981 on Sunday. She arrived on time to the shoot and was enthusiastic, despite a gruelling shoot the day before.

If there is one thing I have to give high praise for is the determination to push her boundaries and try new things, including the Lyra Ring.

I can recommend Enigmatise1981 to anyone wishes to work with her.

Oh I like Steph.

She turned up, of course, pre shoot communication was excellent. She was there early, the day before in fact (it was a Studland shoot). With a raft of ideas and a small selection of clothes (on request, I stress; I don't really understand clothes) anyway, I digress...

A good model is Steph, she has a great body and is not scared to use it. I would recommend her without question and hope to shoot her again.

Oh, and I'm not related.

Steph was very pleasant to work with on Sunday. Very patient, easy going and had a nice edge to her modelling. I thought her hair looked fantastic and it was good to see that her skin was in good condition before she arrived for the shoot. In my opinion. she has a great face to use bold colours with and i reckon go beyond the norms of 'beauty' makeup and more towards 'art style'/editorial fashion makeup! She's a cool girl to work with and a definite recommendation! All the best Steph! x

Prior to shooting, Stephanie was noticably organized, professional, focused and willing to be part of the creative process, being very much part of the production and team. I was amazed to learn Stephanie has been modelling for less than a year, this came as a surprise. During the shoot I was particularly pleased because the shoot was difficult in some ways, it was not the usual type of shoot for Stephanie, there was also quite a bit of work involved, but there was a lot of patience, hard work and effort in getting the look right and I was very pleased with the results. I would definitely recommend Stephanie, especially for photographers that are looking to be creative, edgy and show a unique look, but also because she gives it 200%, is willing to try new things and is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Good shoot, good comms, very happy to try my daft ideas and despite being a bit under the weather worked really hard for me.

Awesome!

I could just leave it at that, as it sums up my thoughts on our shoot together. However I should explain why. We spent an evening and an early morning shooting all around Cardiff Bay, we shot in car parks, stair wells, under railway bridges, in lifts, people front gardens, on the high street, on a merry go round and in the middle of a public plaza (to name a few) and all the time Steph was so comfortable, professional and superb in her posing. Steph is a lovely lady who is easy to get along with, has a fantastic figure and a great attitude. Steph is very highly recommended and I thank her for a fantastic couple of days shooting.

What a wonderful experience it was having a very brief shoot with Steph! Such a lovely down to earth model, she is extremely hard working and will do whatever it takes to get the image! She had cuts on her from the sea but did not complain once, instead got cleaned up and went back for round 2! I was very nervous meeting her as she is very experienced and has a great understanding of how to pose but she completely put me as ease! I look forward to our next shoot!

Steph travelled from Cardiff to London yesterday for our collaboration. The team is really happy with the results of the different sets we made. She is very good in pre-shoot communication and very organised. I organised a make up artist and stylist who is very happy to worked with Steph too! We got plenty of wardrobes to choose from including latex and how amazing we all managed to get good shots all because of Steph's professionalism, great looks and emotions easily created on every set!

I definitely highly recommend her to other photographers and cannot wait to work with her again on a bigger project!

Thanks Steph and best of luck.

I shot with Steph for the second time yesterday and it just keeps getting better, so more shoots to follow I hope !

Steph is one tough (ginger nut) cookie ! Unfazed by hurricane winds on cliff edges, cold, rain, falling rocks, and skinny dips in rock pools. She has an instinct for a great picture, stunning poses and composition - I bet she'd make a superb photographer. Hence, working with here was a pleasure and very easy. She's great company too. Steph's success on Purpleport is testament to her immense talent and commitment.

So, I highly recommend Steph ..... she'll bring the best out in you, the lucky photographer !

Fantastic portrait shoot with Steph, she is a joy to work with and for someone that hasn't even been modelling a year yet she has a great understanding of expression and how to use it. She is very easy to get on with and really glad that we managed to squeeze in a shoot prior to me moving from the area. Would highly recommend her for beauty and portrait type work.

Had an amazing shoot with Steph recently. Photogenic she brimmed with ideas, needed little to no direction, versatile, very professional and above all fun to work with. I would highly recommend a shoot with Steph to add diversity to your portfolio. Thanks Steph.

Had my first shoot with Steph today, which also turned out to be her first woodland shoot. I had a wonderful time working with her, highly versatile, able to take everything both the elements and myself threw her way, be it the constant changes in light or the blowing wind hitting the hillsides, wasn't even bothered by the rain. Happy to work on my ideas, and also came with some of her own, and threw herself in to everything with enthusiasm, showed no fear in shooting out in the open on the foley. All in all the time flew by and I had fun and the shoot was very productive, I hope to work with Steph again some time in the future. Highly recommend anyone who has a chance to work with Steph should take it

Had the pleasure of working with Steph for the second time, we shot in a great location and she was beaming with ideas for the shoot! Looking forward to arranging another shoot with her and cannot recommend her enough! Do not miss the chance to shoot with Steph as you will come away with images that make you realise why you got into photography in the 1st place!

I met and worked with Steph for the first time at a charity studio photoshoot.

Not only is she a fantastic model, she's a really lovely person and is very easy to get along with. This makes shooting with her really easy and very relaxed.

Steph knows her body very well and not only did she create her own poses, she welcomed my occasional direction to try different things.

I would hope to work with her again sometime and look forward to that.

I have worked with Steph 3 times now and she continues to impress. She always arrives in good time for the shoot with great outfits. She also does her hair and make-up to a high standard. Great, and easy to work with, I wholeheartedly recommend Steph to photographers of all levels of ability.

Finally got to shoot with Steph yesterday after a couple of months of us both wanting to work together. We got up super early (Steph at 5am, me at 5.30am because I need a teeny bit more beauty sleep than her) and off we went to see what we could do together.

We were rewarded by the most beautiful morning, mists rolling along the near millpond still river Avon outside my house, and the most amazing early morning sunshine you could ever wish for. And the result was possibly at least two of my most striking images to date (personally thinking)

Steph might have only been at this for ten months but don't let that make you think she might not know her job. She is fantastic to work with, poses with ease and grace and does an all round top job!

I'm sure we will work together again, but this shoot is going to be hard to beat methinx!

Thanks Steph! :)

Second Glance

My second shoot with Steph and WOW

The first time I saw her images, I knew she had a special something and she just gets better and better

It's hard to remember that she's only been modelling less than a year - her professionalism and ability to create moods, poses and looks are phenomenal and usually only found in models with many years of experience

I absolutely love working with Steph and look forward to many more collaborations

Well, i had a very fun shoot with Steph, we met as i was sat in the bath preparing for our shooting scene, and she was totally not fazed, jumped in and away we went! Fabulous posing skills and a really lovely array of emotions which was excellent as we went through some more romantic type - through to the quirky style. So highly recommended, and i hope we get the chance to work together again :)

Steph posted a last minute call to take advantage of the sunshine. Within two hours we met in Cardiff Bay and started putting ideas together. Steph had a suitcase of different clothes and makeup already done and looked fabulous. She got straight into some brilliant poses, no warm up required, and we spent the next two hours dashing from place to place shooting in and around some very interesting features of the Bay. Steph was quite happy to climb and pose on almost anything and almost anywhere, even with her heels and plenty of tourists watching. If I thought she would run out of poses, she found a completely new one and kept going. We quickly found a rhythm that I felt very comfortable with and even when I was holding us up while I had a few technical issues Steph was quite patient and we were able to shoot again on the next click of the shutter. Steph takes a great interest in the images and is a perfectionist - this is very welcome as she spots things to improve on and goes back until the image is right. I've now got many welcome additions to my portfolio.

To sum up, Steph is an extremely professional and competent model. She knows exactly how to make to most of what she is presented with and I thoroughly recommend her.

I had a brilliant shoot with Steph today; she is an utterly professional model. We made our arrangements to shoot some weeks ago and despite the distance Steph turned up exactly on time and thoroughly prepared. Communications were perfect, simple and completely in keeping with every other part of the process. Steph has a genuine understanding of what you are trying to achieve and contributes significantly through her expressions and poses; she is a total delight to work with. She has a great sense of humour and is huge fun as well. In addition, she is capable of doing all her own makeup and hair. With a great figure and looks, excellent comprehension of what the photographer is trying to achieve as well as being a lovely person - what more could you ask for from a model? A+++

Thank you Steph for a brilliant shoot and I hope we are able to organise another one soon.
