Whenever I have seen images of Crystal I have stopped to look. Why it's taken me so long to actually work with this exceptional lady is happily now a case of better late than never. I approached Crystal seeking to collaborate and happily we were able to find a mutually convenient date (yesterday).

Her pre-shoot communication was as I hope for. We arranged for me to shoot at hers. Upon arrival Crystal was welcoming and chilled, perfect. Crystal kindly made me a coffee and through chatting I was delighted to find her personable.

Crystal showed me locations we could shoot in at her spacious and light home (more options than you need for a single shoot). Crystal had prepared make up and she'd prepped some outfits based on our pre-comms and I showed her my array of items as well.

Amazingly the sun was shining so we opted for natural light shooting.

Immediately we began I could see why images of Crystal have always drawn me in. Crystal exudes magnetism when photographed, that X-factor on top of her expressiveness physically and emotionally.

We shot a number of sets and Crystal enhanced them all with her creative input. I could concentrate on technical aspects as she poses exquisitely all the time.

The shoot was a joy - the perfect first shoot and time flew. I am looking forward to the welcome challenge of narrowing down the results (many of which look exciting on back of camera).

Once an opportunity allows I will be seeking to work with Crystal again.

20 shoots with Crystal and just as good as the first. Difficult to find new things to say, but as ever she made the shoot a pleasure. Little was planned but a few rough ideas, which she joined with her usual enthusiasm. Once things started, ideas flowed, and we ended up running out of time before ideas. A good starting point for shoot number 21. Highly recommended model.

Three more shoots with Crystal. The most recent was a duo shoot with Ashley Ashton. I'd only done a few duo shoots before, so I relied heavily on Crystal's experience, creativity, energy and enthusiasm. And yet again, thanks to Crystal's invaluable input I came away with pics that were better than what I'd originally envisaged.

It would be superfluous to repeat all the good things that I and others have already said about Crystal, so let's keep it brief this time... She's a star!

I had wonderful shoot with Crystal yesterday. We had shared ideas beforehand and she came fully equipped with clothes to suit the plan, and having researched the works of art on which much of the shoot as based. She is a natural at posing, and a lovely person to be with. She contributes her own ideas and is eager to try more challenging dance leaps and poses to enhance each shoot and add to her already wide repertoire. I am looking forward to working with her again. Highly recommended

I had the most amazing day with Crystal yesterday! She travelled to Exeter despite awful weather conditions and flooding, and was such a thrill and joy to work with! Crystal is beautiful and athletic, and has a lovely personality and fantastic range of poses! I knew from her excellent pre-shoot communications that we'd hit it off together and that's exactly how it was! Crystal is really friendly and very easy to chat with. She is also caring and helpful and I can't wait to work with her again! Thanks, Crystal,for a day to remember! You are incredible!😊📽

I haven't had such an enjoyable shoot in so long, Crystal is an absolute joy! Pre-shoot communication was good, we had great conversation while shooting, she is stunning, poses wonderfully and our shoot had a wonderful flow. I’m very much looking forward to our next shoot.

Umpteenth shoot with Crystal. Why do I work with her time and time again? Well...

For starters, she's experienced, creative, enthusiastic and energetic; yet again, I threw some vague ideas at her and she gave me one good picture after another. Her input made all the difference.

And... Crystal is reliable and 100% professional in every respect, she's a lovely person, and she has a sparkling personality and a good sense of humour. So as I've found out many times, a shoot with her is not only very productive but is also hugely enjoyable.

Yep - very highly recommended.

I had a shoot with Crystal and BettyValentine in Southampton at the end of last month which was really enjoyable. Crystal is a professional model who is energetic, full of creative ideas and a pleasure with whom to work and the time flew by. She arrived with an abundance of clothing and we covered quite a lot of themes during the four hour shoot. This was the first time I have worked with Crystal and look forward to working with her again. Thanks a lot Crystal for a lovely shoot. Highly recommended.

Shooting with Crystal was a riot!

Firstly, she is such an engaging and positive young woman, and although this was only our 2nd shoot together, we were both completely relaxed and “Into” the shoot immediately at NEON Dreams Studio.

Her pre-shoot coms are top notch, her work rate is prolific, and the minimal time in the model changing room preparing between and building her “looks” was record-breaking .

No “BTS Changing Room Selfie Queen” here!

Here is a model who is super fun to be around, who can be mischievous or serious, and who can either work at a pace that you can’t keep up with, or in a relaxed and more considered way if that’s your style.

Crystal will take direction or contribute imaginatively, locking-on to what you are wanting to achieve with uncanny accuracy … whatever you want.

My 6 hour shoot flew by with this fun lady.

One of the very best, and highly recommended to photographers at any skill level.

More please and thank you Crystal.

What an absolute joy of a model to work with.

All you have to do is sort a light out, put the camera to your eye, press the button and let Crystal do the rest.

Free flowing poses and a model who has a feel for the light and clearly knows what she is doing. Four hours flew by and left me wanting more.

And she didn't break anything.

I had a great shoot with UK Crystal this morning, very relaxed and easy to shoot with. Crystal had a large selection of clothes and accessories, good input into shots and a variety of poses. I look forward to shooting with her again :)

Just had my first shoot with the very talented UKCrystal. She was ready on time, had a good selection of outfits and was a joy to work with. Crystal was easy going, positive, and enthusiastic throughtout the whole shoot. Her experience was soon evident, she posed incredibly well with little or no direction and was very aware of where she was standing or sitting in relation to the lights to ensure I got the best shots.

I cant believe how much quality content I have from a two hour shoot. I would highly recommend this very talented lady who no doubt I will be shooting again at some point in the future. Thankyou Crystal.

Crystal is simply a joy to shoot. There are some models who you just click with, and Crystal and I work so well together. She is gorgeous, fun and enthusiastic, with enough raw energy to ensure you get the shot, plus more! Nothing is too much trouble and Crystal was happy to give me the curls and gowns I’d requested, plus the patience to sit in position whilst I balanced the lighting for our first set.

For our second set I wanted to try Image Red’s new bed set and so we went for high-key glamour. Crystal gave me a choice of lingerie; I gave her the limits for her movements; and we were away!

Two hours simply flew by. We did spend far too much time chatting, but that was my fault. I do like to draw on Crystal’s industry knowledge and experience (plus a little gossiping doesn’t hurt!).

Crystal is a favourite of mine, wonderful to work alongside, and a great person to know. Highly recommended.

Crystal accepted an offer to shoot with the small portrait group I run.

She agreed to do lingerie and art nude. This was new to most of the four guys who attended. Crystal could not have been more accommodating with her poses. She was very body confident and put everyone at ease. Some very tasteful shots were obtained and everyone agreed it was a great experience.

They cannot wait for the second shoot!!

Crystal comes highly recommended. I have shot with her many times and am always impressed with her professionalism.

Crystal was amazing – positive, funny, full of energy and great company. The shoot was easy-going and relaxed, with Crystal throwing herself wholeheartedly into the sets we’d prepared.

There’s a lot more to Crystal than a great look, a (fantastically) toned body and a sparkling personality. She’s a hard-working, skilled and experienced model who knows what she’s doing and knows how to create beautiful images.

We didn’t shoot everything we’d discussed. That was 100% Crystal’s fault – she’s so good in front of the camera it’s easy to lose track of time!

I’d love to shoot with Crystal again, to carry on where we left off and to shoot some of the new ideas we thought up along the way.

Highly recommended.

One year on, and I have just very recently completed my seventh shoot with Crystal, utilising a different part of the same location as last time. Following on from a few days of particularly inclement weather, which resulted in many areas being flooded, we were lucky on the day to be rewarded with some warm sunshine and bright conditions.

Crystal is an amazing model who needs absolutely no direction to produce first class results. That said, she is also very happy to model shots which are perhaps out of her normal repertoire. From our first shoot through to this latest one, she exudes a happy can-do attitude, which, when mixed with her chatty, friendly and professional nature, ensures that the shoot will be an outstanding success and that the time will pass far too quickly.

Crystal, you have again absolutely nailed it 100%, the results are outstanding and totally match my wishes and expectations. Very well done :-) Thank you very much again for a very enjoyable afternoon. Take care, Richard :-)

I want to thank Crystal for a cool and creative shoot at Rawpics Studio.

She stepped in at the last minute when the model I had booked had to cancel due to Covid.

Quick to respond to messages so pre-comms good.

We had a fun and creative session and it was good to work with her.

Certainly recommend.

Phil Walker

Just completed my THIRD shoot with Crystal. She came to meet me in reception with a massive smile on her face, she has such a huge personality and fantastic sense of humour.

Crystal looked stunning and has a very toned body, she is very experienced in posing it exactly to match the ideas you have discussed to produce just the images you were looking for. She is great fun, hard working, professional and most important a truly fantastic model.

We only shot for 3 hours, the time just flowed, she makes you feel at ease and relaxed

If you have worked with Crystal already, you know what I'm trying to say. If you've not worked with her before you should book her believe me you will be very glad you did.

I have no hesitation in recommending Crystal to all photographers whatever their experience and I will certainly be shooting with her again!

Thank you Crystal for another great shoot looking forward to the next one :)

Having shot with UKCrystal a few times now I knew the time would fly even though it was another long shoot about 11 hours and I was not wrong, however we had so much fun and yet again we achieved so much.

UKCrystal is excellent at doing all the conventional modelling, however she will always go that extra mile, try something different, or whatever is necessary to get the shot you are after. I should add she does this with total commitment, tons of skill, talent and unbelievable creativity and she will work very hard from the first shot to the very last pose of the shoot yes even though it was such a long day.

She is an exceptional model always ready and willing to contribute with ideas, styling etc drawing on her vast experience and knowledge but it does not stop there She is wonderful company in fact a total professional who loves modelling. I just love working with her she is always smiling has a terrific personality I do wish we lived closer to each other, however I must add this will not stop us working together.

It was a brilliant shoot we nailed every set and came away with stunning images, if you have worked with UKCrystal you will know all this anyway, however if you have not yet worked with her then you really are missing out. I have no hesitation in recommending her to all photographers whatever your level or experience.

Thanks Crystal for another terrific shoot, looking forward to the next one. Tony T :)
