I had a great day shooting with Valentina two weeks ago. I loved that Valentina was able to interpret the emotion of every set with authenticity and creativity. I came away from the day with a number of unique portfolio worthy shots.

In addition to being a great model Valentina was fun to spend the day with. Thanks!

Learn from each shot

I took up Valentina’s offer of a “Wild Atlantic way nudes in the landscape” photoshoot in late September 2021. Comms prior to the shoot were great.

Valentina was both very friendly and very professional. She took me to a number of beautiful locations and then posed effortlessly for me. Posing on sharp barnacles, cold wet boulders, wet insect covered trees and climbed ancient ruins in search of great images. Nothing I asked for was a problem and she added her own ideas to help improve the images. I had a great day and came away with a host of images I’m still processing. I would love to work with Valentina again and would recommend her to other photographers.

Had the massive pleasure of meeting and shooting all day with Valentina .

A total joy from start to finish , an amazing model with incredible posing skills and most importantly a fabulous fun person . Really hoping to get to work together again in the not too distant future .

Valentina and I have been not quite able to get out schedules aligned for some years but finally, we managed to get all the ducks in a row.

It's always amazing to work with a true professional model like Valentina, but when you also find a spirit with the same quirky taste in music and art as yourself it's bound to be awesome.

We worked for 3 days and shot on various locations and in the studio and it was just a pleasure throughout.

And I have the pictures to prove it (these will be out soonish when I get time to cull them down to a manageable size - which is just so hard as there are so many good ones).

Anyway, comms were great, effortless to work and hang with and she is very talented and professional.

All in all an awesome experience.

Thanks!

I had the immense pleasure of working with Valentina last week as part of her Denmark tour.

We shot a bunch of different variation on the theme of nude art in my home studio, including a bunch of bodyscapes and other sorts of lowkeys - do keep your peepers open for some of them here at some point.

Valentina is a highly talented model (well versed in letting her poses suit the light, among many other great qualities) and tremendous fun to be around and talk to.

If you ever get the chance to shoot with Valentina, grab that chance! The only thing you'll regret is how quickly time flies by shooting with her.

I'm bound shoot with her again.

Suddenly out of nowhere, awesome Valentina contacted me.

As it turns out, she was planning a visit to Denmark. I was very fortunate and honered, that she liked my work and had a genuine wish to create with me.

We took time for a thorough conversation on the phone, including the very direct Danish approach to communication and descriptions. During this very open conversation we agreed on the important details and to meet when she was in Denmark.

She arrived and we instantly got into talks and conversations about all important matters that touches life, it was some absolutely great days, in fabulous company.

Of course we did shoot, but this almost became second priority and we skipped some planned shooting, it was actually very very hot, making it too hard to create, but we also needed to fix the world order before she left again.

That said, I am very very pleased with the images we did manage to create, working with some new visual expressions and feelings with Valentina. I surely expect us to team up again and create, if not here, perhaps there.

I met a person with insight and depth bringing more than modelling, to the table. Valentina is great fun, very easy and relaxing.I certainly recommend Valentina for everyone into an artistic merit.

I look forward to finish our first image Valentina, of course with a composition and a crop you will hate :-)

Shooting on a warm day is a Challenge (specially for the photographer) but Valentina managed with bravour.

Exciting with her very long hair and it gave something different to our pictures, as she is good to variat her positions focusing on how the long hair would fit in with her naked body and with som dresses as well.

She has a good understanding of posing in different setups wether it is in studio or outside in nature and is alert to photographer’s wishes but is ready to pose freely if needed. She is a nice person and have a good portion of humour, which is bearing a nice shoot.

I can surely recommend to hire Valentina for shootings

I can definitely recommend Valentina.

Communication was excellent, both before and during the shoot. She was punctual and ready to shoot on arrival to the studio.

Valentina poses extremely well on her own and when instructed. She quickly grasps what image you are trying to get and poses accordingly. She also has plenty of creative input to share if needed.

Valentina has an awesome sense of humor and a charming personality.

I sincerely hope to work with her again.

Highly recommended.

I could not have been more impressed by Valentina. Her level of professionalism is exemplary with fast response rates, clear and honest communication, and a creative and collaborative attitude the day of the shoot. She brings a willingness to the art form by striving to meet the vision of the photographer, but simultaneously offers an originality that allows for the end result to surpass expectations. One full day of a shoot with Valentina was not enough! I hope to reconnect with her and have a second opportunity to work with her - there are so many possibilities left to explore!

Thank you, Valentina, for your professionalism, your openness, and more than anything - for being you!

Graceful, good-humoured, and highly competent, Valentina is a delight to work with.

We recently spent a day shooting at two different locations (both found by Valentina) and I am very pleased with the results.

This was our second shoot and, like the first, it was enjoyable as well as productive. I look forward to our third.

Well I was introduced to Valentina about 3 years ago and it’s taken that long for the stars to align. Great model with a terrific soul. Completely focused on getting the shot and contributes great ideas. Rarely do I come across a model as talented and as friendly as Valentina.My only regret is not shooting her earlier…….so don’t wait,….you won’t be disappointed. Thank you so much Valentina.I will be coming to Galway next time X

I love working with Valentina. You will too! I'll certainly be working with her again and again...

Erik Jakobsson

Valentina is an amazing model to work with aswell as a wonderful person.

It's the 3rd time shooting with Valentina, and this time was remotly, the only thing to say is that Valentina works so much to make your capture appear, she moves the camera, she makes the pose, you say what you want and it will show up on your screen! If I recomend, for sure I do, she is stuning at modeling and as a person!

If you need a model to do a remote shot in this pandemic time, make sure you choose well, and Valentina is top standard! You will not regret it!

I worked with Valentina today on a remote shoot and it was great. Her set up for remote shoots is really nice and her poses are fantastic.

I sent her a few ideas and she captured what I had in mind perfectly. I would highly recommend working with her and I'm really looking forward to working with her again in the future :)

I had a shoot with Valentina on Saturday morning in a small Dublin studio. This is our umpteenth shoot. She's addictive! I always have trouble deciding which of the images is best as she is an excellent model who needs little direction. It's always fun shooting with Valentina and I look forward to more shoots together in the great outdoors.

I've hired Valentina several times now for several different jobs. She's always ace! Really easy to direct, nice and laid back, does awesome poses and is generally tops.

Figmentation

Had my second shoot with Valentina on Saturday in a local studio. I'd never shot in a studio before, never mind for 4 hours, but the time flew by. Valentina had already had a shoot before me, but her energy and enthusiasm were unflagging. She is very good at putting people at ease and she also cares about the final product. Looking forward to working with her again.

Brendan Lyon

A pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with Valentina again.

I was lucky enough to attend a studio day yesterday organised by Valentina with Tinkerbella.

Pre shoot comms with Valentina were extremely helpful and the event was really well organised.

Valentina’s professionalism is second to none, she made the shoot relaxed & fun, and we got some amazing shots.

I recommend Valentina without hesitation, I would gladly work with her again and hope to do so soon.

Thanks again!
