Had my second shoot with Vicky the other week. Vicky is an absolute pleasure to work with, and the camera loves her, there were so many great images of her that choosing final images were hard! She is a pro with posing and gives a really lovely editorial look which is what I live to shoot. I can't recommend her enough, lovely lady and fantastic to work with. Till next time Vicky! :-) x

This was my second shoot with Viktoria. The first have been a ballet themed studio portrait shoot, so Viktoria having passed the first shoot with flying colors it was time to give her a try at a location studio lit shoot. As is usual with my location shoots this involved walking some distance to a remote location carrying 60 pounds of equipment, digital and medium format film and two studio flash heads.

Viktoria and her partner Jack helped with carrying the equipment and Jack acted as a second pair of eyes during the shoot as additional security. Leaving me free to concentrate on the picture taking. The water was very cold, Viktoria being a professionally trained dancer in both contemporary dance and ballet being used to hard work performed beautifully in very challenging conditions. I am highly impressed with Viktoria's high level of professionalism, communication and creative energy, combined with a charming personality and "can do" attitude. Therefore I will highly recommend Viktoria for any professional or amateur shoot.

Thank you Viktoria and Jack.

Viktoria and I Produced a portrait photo set themed around the ballet "White Swan" and "Black Swan". We used a White Swan headdress made by myself and a purchased Black Swan headdress, these combined with Viktoria's excellent ballet makeup skills resulted in images that were exactly as we had planned.

Viktoria is a highly qualified, degree level dancer and ballerina so therefore her understanding and interpretation of the concept was exceptional. Needless to say Viktoria's communications were concise and professional while all the time injecting her own creativity and enthusiasm for the project.

An all round wonderful person to work with with a charming and friendly demeanour. I will certainly be working with Viktoria again on a more ambitious project.

Just clearing up the studio and backing up the images following a fantastic Pilates fitness shoot with the charming and hard working Viktora Pavlova.

Viktoria is an very talented person, with amazing stamina and perseverance. She takes a lot of trouble to get the shot just right. She is also a classically trained ballet dancer. Her images en pointe were absolutely stunning. And yet she was able to make complex and difficult poses appear natural and easy. In fact it was one of the most productive shoots I have enjoyed in many years.

Her pre-shoot communications were excellent. She even emailed us with a picture of her negative COVID LFT the night before the shoot. She came prepared to the shoot with a great selection of costumes. She also crated an excellent mood board. c/w links so we could put the images she wanted to replicate on a large screen.

Lovely model, lovely person and I recommend her very highly indeed.

We had our first studio shoot with Vickyy in the challenging times of covid. She was professional, well organized and creative as well as being friendly and a pleasure to work with. She has a great sense of humour, is versatile and certainly unafraid of a challenge. She was able to produce the results we needed with ease. We hope to work with Vickyy again in the near future and would highly recommend her for any project.

Vicky was on time, and was gracious and polite from the get go.

We made a connection immediately.

She was engaging intellectually as well, which was very important to me.

Shooting with her was really enjoyable, looking forward to working together again.

Third wonderful shoot with Vicky! - This time in an arts/dance studio.

Vicky’s radiant beauty shone through and we got some great natural and speedlight portrait and fashion images despite some initial technical issues on my part with dance shots.

I love working with Vicky she is class, has an inherent beauty and is a delight to shoot and be with.

Thanks Vicky!

Another wonderful and adventurous shoot with Vicky!

We decided to do street ballet in the style of Jordan Matter renowned for his impromptu shots of dancers in unlikely and populated locations.

Vicky was marvellous posing En Point in bars and restaurants, doing amazing Grand Jete leaps in the road, Arabesque at an ice cream stall and other places. We ended up in a cellar bar with ornate furniture and Vicky posed beautifully.

A huge effort by Vicky walking around in her point shoes but she was tireless and entered totally into the spirit of the shoot and was totally unfazed by the people gazing at her and wonderfully cheerful. She’s a star. Thanks Vicky :-)

My first shoot with Vicky.

The shoot was on location in a river ( images to come) and focussed around using Vicky’s dance training within the river. Vicky was wonderful. She has modelled prior to purpleport and that experience, plus her ballet training, means she can pose with beautiful elegance. She is enthusiastic and works hard to achieve the look/pose requested as well as having really useful suggestions and ideas of her own.

She’s also good fun to work with and be around :)

Recommended without any hesitation at all. I hope to shoot with Vicky several more times

It’s a delight to be able to provide Vicky’s first PP reference.

We arranged to do a beach shoot well in advance. Her communications were excellent. Vicky’s life has been that of a classically trained ballet dancer with occasional modelling; it shows in her poise, demeanour and that aura that professional ballet dancers have. She has a beautiful look and the ability to free pose without direction. Conversation flowed freely and Vicky is a joy to shoot with – I enjoyed our time together and we got some great images. Unfortunately we couldn’t complete part of the shoot we envisaged as the area was closed so are planning to shoot again when Vicky’s busy schedule allows.

Easy to recommend! Thanks Vicky.
