References for the body artist

Broken Heritage

I have know The Body Artist for quite a few years now and really wanted to do some work together for a while now. This was my first time shooting Art nudes and I think if I didn't know her already I would have been a little nervous. I felt at ease and able to bounce ideas of shots and locations really well. She us such a beautiful person inside and out and shines in her own artistic way. I can't wait to do more with her in the future. Recommend to the hills and back.

Holly and I have worked together 9 times now over the last couple of years in what has been an amazingly fun, creative and fruitful collaboration.

The Body Artist is absolutely one of the most creative models I have worked with, and I am always in awe of her ability to make and craft costumes and accessories for the more conceptual ideas we shoot. She also has the ability to pose with real depth, beauty and emotion and sniffs out some amazing locations for our urbex adventures. Added to this she is one of the loveliest people you will ever meet - fun and so easy to work with.

The shoot has produced some amazing images which I am absolutely over the moon with - I cant wait for the opportunity to shoot again and I cant recommend The Body Artist highly enough :)

I'm not really sure where to start with this reference. Some people are great at posing, some people bring great outfits, some people give great emotion when they model.....The Body Artist for me was the whole package!

She was a total pleasure to meet and work with form the first moment to leaving mine to head back to the tube.

We spent the day shooting at my apartment in Brixton, and the time just flew by and felt like it was over in minutes! We had a great laugh whilst working together to create some images that I absolutely love. I think not only does TBA look beautiful, but she has an amazing personality that comes through in the images you get working with her. And she has some amazing ideas in her head that I'd love to experiment more with.

A huge recommendation from me and a model who instantly impressed me. I hope we get to shoot together many more times to come.

I worked together with Boo today for the first time. She possesses a great personality and a good sense of humour too, which is always a bonus. The location we used was not the cleanest I've ever worked at, but Boo just cracked on with it, posing effortlessly throughout the entire shoot, adding lots of input to each scene we worked on. I couldn't be happier with the results from today and that's mainly down to Boo's ability and drive. Loved every minute of it and hope to work together again soon!

This time around El & I embarked on an epic two day shoot - probably our most ambitious to date - and I am really over the moon with the results! :)

Day one we worked with the lovely PixieVonBloom on a locations shoot in a beautiful quarry - theme was hippie/boho/eastern , and El & Pixie did a wonderful job of styling the shoot - great images and a really funday.

Day two El and I got down to serious business at the Pit Studio - we had several conceptual ideas to work with and El once again did and amazing job of making accessories and doing makeup for the shoot. I was once again in awe of her creativity and artistic flare. I think we captured some of our best images to date in what was yet another amazing shoot together.

The Body Artist just gets better and better and I find El a real joy and inspiration to collaborate with and a lovely person to boot. Cant wait for our next collaboration. 110% recommended :)

ManCave

I had the pleasure of welcoming The Body Artist into the ManCave yesterday. She's an absolute joy to work with and the images look amazing. El is an extremely easy person to spend time and gel with during the many hours of a studio session, the time just flew on by. She is extremely creative with her posing and flows naturally listening when necessary to direction. She has a well proportioned figure and is mighty tall for a female. Need I mention the awesome tattoo's that speak for themselves, truly photographic art. Many Thanks El. Happy & Highly Recommended.

I've worked with El quite a few times now and left several references already, but every time we shoot I feel the need to add some more words of praise, just to re-state and underline what a fantastic model she is :)

I've watched her develop in leaps and bounds since our first shoot last October and I find her incredibly inspiring to work with. She has her own unique style and beauty along with a flawless figure and she poses in a wonderfully natural and instinctive way - she is a truly artistic spirit who puts her all into whatever idea or project she's involved with.

She's also a lovely, friendly, funny person to be around making it so easy to work with her. I always look forward to our shoots and hope there will be many more in the future - I cant recommend El highly enough! :)

This lady is a DREAM to work with, she also inspires and relates to artist concepts. Very rarely does an artist feel in tune with a sitter here it works. She is a muse, a delight to work alongside and full of expression.

Total wonderful Thank you from Jules Philter Photography

I have just had Elle stay with me for the weekend, and she has been amazing company and a fantastic model.

She has a great look and can be incredibly emotive. She is up for working exceptionally hard to get the right shot and seems to jump at the chance to push herself. She is the perfect "alternative" art nude model, an actress and has a uniquely beautiful face.

On top of her modelling skills, though, she has an amazingly warm personality and is incredibly creative and an amazing artist - in many ways.

I'm really sad Elle went home. I can't wait to work with her again and recommend her very highly!

David Craig Ellis

Had another amazing shoot with the Body Artist last week in our ongoing collaboration :)

El is just so good to work with - great fun and a genuinely lovely person, as well as a truly artistic and creative soul. She has fantastic natural posing ability and is a natural in front of the camera with a great emotional range and unique style.

El just gets better and better and I cant recommend her enough

El is simply awesome, spent a day with her at two of her Urbex locations and the day was simply perfect.

Shoot wise we have so many images that I adore (take a look in my Urbex album). El worked tirelessly during the day, was super company and we got on so well that I simply could have not asked for more.

I love her tattoo's, I love her dreads and most importantly she liked my sense of humour.

Can't wait till we get together for round 2 - we have some great ideas in the planning.

Thanks El for a brilliant days shooting.

Had my third shoot with Ella this weekend and what an epic adventure it was! :)

We spent a very long day on Friday travelling to several derelict locations and from start to finish El was focused, enthusiastic and totally committed to creating great images and fully at ease working amongst the decay and cold

Saturday we moved on to shooting in the studio and El again showed what a fantastically diverse model she is moving flawlessly from art nude the previous day to alternative fetish/fashion erotica.

I love working with The Body Artist. She is a genuinely lovely person and very easy to get along with and is a creative and talented model. Already have our next shoot booked - very highly recommended! (y)

Someone else wrote "muse" - I'm not sure quite what one of those is, but El is a wonderful and creative model.

She's clever, artistically aware, and interested in the results. She poses slowly (a rare skill) or fast, depending on what you want. She will produce results like no other.

A new definition of "alternative art nude": - El.

Her modelling name says it all. She is THE body artist.

Had a terrific shoot with the Body Artist the other day. Great comms, great planning throughout. El has a natural grace that comes across in pose after pose, she works fine with or without direction and has such a good idea of what looks right in a shot. Add to that she's a lovely friendly person to spend an afternoon working with, and all made for a great first shoot of 2015. Thanks El, hope to shoot again very soon.

Had a great afternoon with El, who had very short notice of the shoot.We worked with a few themes , using the natural light at her flat. She added some great ideas to the shoot and some useful props. El supplied the tea and choccy biscuits which kept the energy and enthusiasm up. El came up with a number of interesting poses and as a result, we achieved some quite creative shots. I look forwards to working with El again soon.

Highly recommended :-)

Had a fantastic second shoot with The Body Artist last week! :) El is really fun, friendly and easy to work with but is also an amazingly creative and flexible muse who really contributes to the shoot with both ideas and a real enthusiasm for making images.

We are already planning future shoots and I am really looking forward to working together again - very highly recommended!! (y)

El is the real deal as a model, and a charming woman as well. She was well organised before the shoot, punctual, and committed to the ideas during the shoot. Intelligent and very creative herself, she's an asset to any project. Highly recommended.

Had a fantastic first shoot with The Body Artist last Friday.

Pre-shoot communications were excellent and El was wonderfully friendly and very easy to work with.

El is really enthusiastic with great instinctive posing ability and is a natural talent in front of the lens. We captured some really cool images around several derelict locations and I'm very pleased with the final results.

All in all an awesome shoot, and I really hope we get the opportunity to work together again

110% recommended! ;)

Jason Skarratt Photography

Wow... where do I start :) Worked with El today on a factory location Shoot.....Great communication before the shoot, Arrived with different styles of outfits, and was extremely friendly from the start...it was like we had known each other for years (Which put us both at ease from the get go)....Brilliant Pose ideas and kept flowing through many different shapes...in fact i doubt if there is a pose this lady can't pull off...a really creative person who's full of good ideas.

Cant recommend The Body Artist enough and would make a brilliant addition to anyones portfolio...loved every minute of our shoot together...cant wait for the next time JS

i worked with the Body Artist a while ago when she tagged along with another model to see what it was all about. Conditions were less than ideal (for me) - cold, remote and inaccessible location. She is confident in front of the camera and photogenic.I'm sure there's some fpi's waiting to be had with the right direction and photographer now she's joined Purpleport! I'd be happy to shoot again.
