References for Tori Bew

This is a much belated reference Tori, I am really sorry I usually do this when I put some images up here...I forgot!

This was my third shoot with the lovely Tori, who is an absolute pleasure to work with and a totally professional dancer. It goes without saying that I came away with some brilliant images which is all down to the skills, technique and beautiful lines that Tori can create. Thank you.

I would not hesitate to recommend Tori to others and, if I remember to be a little more prompt with a review for her, I certainly hope to work with her again.

Fabulous shoot with Tori at Studio39 two days ago. We'd met once before at a shoot organised by Inspire Studios and I was really excited to spend a few hours with her. Tori is a dancer and model of the highest order; her shapes and poses are simply gorgeous and she is a delightful person the spend time with. She was well prepared and brought some fabulous outfits to the shoot. I have so many wonderful images that it's hard to know where to start editing! Thanks Tori for a great day. Highly recommended.

Tori was one of 4 models who attended our location shoot at a country house and what an absolute star she was. Even with the heat of the day (the hottest day on record in the UK!) Tori pulled her ballet poses to perfection, she wowed the photographers throughout the day and was always ready for the next session with a big smile on her face and her lovely nature. Looking forward to getting her back at the studio again sometime soon hopefully.

I met Tori at a Ballet in a Country House photo-shoot. What can I say Tori was great, hottest day ever recorded, but Tori excelled herself with her poses wanting to frequently check my camera to ensure the pose was perfect, a real professional. Tori is a lovely lady and I can't recommend her highly enough. Hopefully get the chance to shoot with her again.

Thanks Tori.

I met Tori for the first time at an organized event. It's a bit like speed dating, you get 20 mins to introduce yourself and it's straight into it.

Tori rose to the occasion admirably. Straight into it pulling ballet poses all day long. Six hours of shooting with 8 photographers shows the stamina involved, and all that on the hottest temperature ever recorded in UK.

Very highly recommended, I shall leap at the chance to shoot her again.

This was the second time that I have shot with Tori and she is a great lady to work with, very pleasant and a great dancer. This time we had some spectacular showgirl costumes to use which she was able to borrow for our shoot - many thanks to Showgirl Entertainments for this (@showgirlentertainments on Facebook and Instagram).

As well as the distinctive showgirl style I had to add some balletic images and I am very pleased with both of these sets! I was happy to let Tori do what she does for the showgirl style as I couldn't add any ideas for this!

For the ballet, we did some specific positions as well as a more freestyle look where Tori did what comes naturally to mind for her.

I have no hesitation in recommending Tori to others and I would shoot with her again, a lovely dancer.

Thank you Tori, it was a fun afternoon!

Had my second shoot with Tori today and it was as amazing as the first. We planned to shoot a location today and it nearly got called off due to the rain.

Luckily enough it was not too heavy and we managed between the showers to create a lot of amazing images. Tori is a highly skilled dancer and it is an exceptional joy to be part of shoots like this to witness a dancer at the top of her game.

We are planning our next shoot and I must admit I am very stoked to be planning and participating in another shoot with such an amazing dancer.

Many thanks for all your perseverance today in conditions that were not perfect.

I had a great shoot with Tori yesterday at Inspire studios. A professional dancer, she came up with some wonderful dance poses and we got some good action & movement shots as well as classic poses. She is also an elegant young woman, and makes a great subject for fashion or Vogue stile portraits. A fun person to work with again and again

This was my first shoot with the lovely and talented Tori, at studio day at Inspire Studios, Salisbury. It was my first shoot since the Christmas thanks to the lockdown.

I had been following Tori's port for some time, indeed as soon as came across it and noticed she was a professional dancer. However, the distance that separated us, and especially the events for the last year, had made working together too difficult to consider. So, when, as Lockdown 3 started to ease, and Inspire informed me that Tori would be one of the first to visit for 2 studio days, I snapped up the opportunity to secure 2 two-hour slots.

Tori is a skilled dancer, with superb flexibility and balance which we used to good effect as we worked through a good number of fine dance-based poses. She has that beautiful poise, elegance, and attention to detail to every aspect her poses that is so typical of professional dancers.

I much enjoyed working with Tori. She has an easy going and cheerful manner and, whilst understandably exacting about how she is portrayed in images (as professional dancers generally are), it was a delight to work with her to catch the poses as best as we could.

I have no hesitation of recommending Tori, both as a model and a specialist dance model.

Thank you, Tori, for your efforts and for making this such an enjoyable first shoot back after the enforced break from shooting.

Tori came for a couple of studio days at Inspire and I was also lucky enough to work with her too. Her communication was brilliant and she arrived in plenty of time all fresh and ready to go. Tori is a genuinely lovely young lady and very talented dancer. She is extremely elegant in her posing and her dance poses are wonderful. She is always keen to get something looking right and collaborates with the photographer well. Able to take direction as well as pose beautifully without direction. Would absolutely recommend her. Look forward to seeing her back again.

Such a pleasure to work with Tori as my first shoot post lockdown. She is so easy to work with and such an elegant dancer, moves and poses effortlessly so it was simple to get some beautiful images. Definitely recommended especially if dance is your interest. Thank you Tori.

I attended the dance photo workshop with Tori as our muse.

Tori was brilliant, poses easily with very little prompting and as with most dancers can do some very dynamic poses; awesome.

I certainly would love to work with her again in the future, Highly recommended.

Tori worked with me on a dance photo workshop last weekend. Tori is very easy to work with, very skilled in her dance abilities and because she has stage experience she is able to flow easily from one dance pose to another and also when I was dealing with the participants, she was able to take care of and find the appropriate positions and poses for the different locations without me but was also easy to direct as well. Highly recommended.

SJames

Had a great first shoot with Tori today. She arrived early and well equipped with the right clothes. Tori is a very experienced dancer and needed little direction, but was also easy to work with as she knew the right arm, leg and body positions for every dance move. Highly recommended.

This was my first shoot with Tori and it was an absolute pleasure to work with her. I was able to move away from my usual dance style of ballet and Tori introduced me to showgirl look! However, the ballet did return and Tori has lovely feet and a beautiful line through the whole leg and foot.

The images I have are varied, as I like them to be, and Tori was happy to pose freely or work to an idea. Most definitely have nice additions to my portfolio.

I love it that a dancer always has their own uniqueness to bring to a shoot and I enjoy getting in sync with the individual to catch that "right moment", the full extension or the subtle fully pulled up pose that makes the shot just that bit better - with Tori it was usually our first shot that turned out to be the best.

I hope to shoot again with Tori in the future, perhaps on location? After restrictions end maybe she can borrow the so very glamourous showgirl-style costumes! I would recommend her without question, great dancer and lovely person to work with.

I was lucky to enough to be able to do a dance location shoot with Tori locally to me and although the light wasn’t the best we managed to get some great images.

As Tori states on her port she is new to PP but I can say that her dance and modelling experience gained elsewhere really showed on a shoot, she adapted to the various places on the location and was very good at choosing the poses that would work the best for them. In short a very experienced model and dancer.

On the shoot it became a joint effort and with Tori’s input we were able to fine tune the pose/angles to get the right look this made the shoot so very enjoyable and productive.

Pre coms were prompt and covered all the details and I would definitely recommend Tori to other Photographers.

My first shoot with Tori and what a fabulous lady to work with. Our pre shoot comunications meant we knew what and where the shoot was to be. Tori arrived on time despite a new road closure / diversion.

Tori was ready to go and was the total professional battling the increasing breeze and impromptu spectators, working through a great dance repertoire. A real star.

I would have no hestitation in recommending Tori and hope to work with her again.

I am still pinching myself, I was exceptionally fortunate to be invited to shoot from a large estate house. Now came the challenge of finding a ballet dancer ......

I spent a long time looking through PP and finally came across Tori's port, I could see from her images she was an amazing dancer and knew that I had the perfect recipe for an amazing shoot.

Tori arrived on time and ready to shoot, I showed her around the house and we discussed outfits and ideas. We shot three areas of the house and Tori really excelled in every way, we were even given a huge surprise when the owner of the house lent us a dress she used when ballet dancing.

This was truly a once in a life time experience I thoroughly enjoyed every minute we spent together shooting. I would highly recommend Tori as a dancer to any photographer who wants to shoot a dancer rather than a model with ballet shoes !!!!!.

I can't wait till our next shoot together as she is one in a million. Thank you so much for making my day so special and memorable.

I have had two shoots now with Tori; one was a group shoot and one "solo". On both occasions she was professional, good company and an excellent performer (and patient when the lights did not do what I wanted then to do!) Talks are already under way for shoot three when this Covidness calms down. I would thoroughly recommend Tori.
