This was my first shoot with THE incredible Xenia and the beautiful makeup artist Alona. This shoot really gave me the confidence that I needed and lit the fire in my heart to continue my passion in modelling. I've never felt so comfortable and so happy while shooting. Xenia truly has a heart of gold and took every step she could to make my experience magical and remarkable. From the moment of the shoot communication was brilliant and mood boards! So so important to communicate and ensure we're on the same page and she really smashed it! I didn't just leave the shoot feeling beautiful and happy I went away with some kick ass braids and a new friend. I can't thank you enough for the most wonderful experience- and the experience I needed again to make me fall back in love with modelling. The studio is top tier, very clean and in a great location. I would be more than delighted to come back again. The 4 hour journey was absolutely well and truly worth it. If you haven't had the absolute pleasure of working here, I would absolutely consider it. Again, Thankyou so so much!

I photographed Xenia in June 2023 on a photo weekend arranged by Rachelle and Mark Summers from Summers Aboard, she was very easy to work with posing naturally giving me some memorable images.

I shot Xenia for the first time at Tabitha Boydell's Fairground Attraction event. Tall, sophisticated and down to earth - I'm already looking forward to working with her again later in the year. Highly recommended

I worked with Xenia for 2 days last weekend at Tabitha Boydell events, as always Xenia was an absolute star, hair and make up immaculate, fun to be with and incredibly hard working. She strove to create the visions I had and together we created some stunning images. Hope to work with her again soon.

Today was my first shoot with Xenia at her new Zavod location. and takes me well into double figures in working with her.

Xenia is always so creative, and has loads of ideas for us to try, and we get some spectacular results.

As Xenia has experience from both sides of the lens, the tweaks that we make only enhance the results.

Xen is a great model, great host and just great fun to work with.

Love working with Xen and would recommend her 100%

Although I have shot at Zavod Studio and found Xenia exceedingly helpful with shoots this was the first time that I shot Xenia as a model.

I has a couple of friends visiting and this was set up as a group shoot with two other photographers. Pre shoot communications were really good I never had to wait very long for a response and always recieved helpful responses.

I knew that Xenia would be brilliant but she was was everything I expected but better.

Thanks for a great day and hope to do some more before too long

This was only my second real 1:1 with Xenia, although we seem to have done quite a few group shoots and other things since our last one.

The venue this time was the awesome Antwerp Mansion, where the equally awesome Xenia worked round each room in turn, pulling out pose after pose in an eclectic variety of sets. She's an absolute professional, working with me in a true collaboration throughout to generate some stunning images. She's also a truly nice person with a friendly personality that makes her incredibly easy to get on with.

Thank you Xenia - absolutely and unreservedly recommended!

I hadn't actually booked Xenia. I'd booked her studio, but my model decided to cancel 10 minutes after our shoot was supposed to have begun, and Xenia insisted on stepping in so the time wasn't wasted like the absolute champion she is.

We had no outfits other than what Xenia was already wearing but we made it work. We shot what we were able to from the plan and then spent some time experimenting with prisms and shutter drag.

Like I said, absolute champion, and 1000 out of 10 would recommend.

Yesterday I travelled from South Cheshire to Zavod Photo Studio to do a shoot with Xenia, a Russian Model extraordinaire. She is both beautiful with mesmerizing eyes yet able to do pose sequences that take your breath away. From my short explanatory prompts as to the style of each set, she produced the most superb dramatic faces. I was in awe of her body positions and facial expressions. Add a lovely friendly obliging personality then you cannot fail to have both a great time, and come away with some stunning images.

I took Mood Boards and storyline scenarios, a little effort on your part, produces a great performance from Xenia,

I, without hesitation, recommend you beat a path to her studio and see her in action yourself! Tom Buidhe

It's been wonderful to work once again with the awesome Xenia, this time for a 1:1 shoot at the new Zavod studio. I've lost count of how many times I've photographed Xenia, but on each occasion we manage to create a huge range of varied looks and setups.

Pre-shoot communications were excellent, as always, and Xenia put a lot of work into preparing for and creating the shots I had imagined in my moodboard. She is incredibly hard working and full of great ideas and suggestions about how to get the best out of every setup. She is a brilliantly expressive and versatile model, which means we get to create a fantastic range of looks and poses.

Our photoshoots are not only productive, but they're also a lot of fun. Xenia is incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with. I'm already looking forward to the next time I work with her. Thank you Xenia!

Today I had my first shoot with Xenia and I can only say - it was great! Xenia is a lively person and we had a nice and fun atmosphere in the Neon Dreams Studio the whole time, which made it very easy to work with her.

I had made some requests for sets and outfits in advance, which we all worked through during the two-hour shoot. Xenia had chosen beautiful pieces and was totally versatile thanks to two wigs.

Thanks to Natasha, who always set up the sets well. A brief technical problem with my laptop didn't slow us down either.

The first results I have seen are great. It will certainly take me some time to make progress with the editing. I'm already looking forward to that.

Many thanks to Xenia for a great first shoot, which I'm sure will be followed by more. Thanks to Neon Dreams Studio for the good organisation. 100% recommended.

I have had the pleasure of working with Xenia on a few of Tabitha Boydell's shoots, but this was my first 1-2-1 shoot with her, this time at Neon Dreams.

It was very enjoyable with many laughs and using ideas from both of us. She is always a delight to work with and will offer suggestions on what to do differently, which are always excellent.

I am delighted that I will be seeing her a couple more times this year, at least.

Thank you very much Xenia for a very enjoyable shoot. Very highly recommended.

Fabulous to see and have the pleasure of shooting with Xenia again. The shoot was a welcome distraction from a one of those weeks,, as soon as we started my mind was in the game and we were focused on shooting some really cool scenes. She's fun, she's and awesome model and photographer herself. Always nice to work with such talent and a genuinely lovely person. Already looking forward to the next time! Thanks so much Xenia!! Always a great vibe working with you.

Today I had my second shoot with Xenia behind the lens, and wow. I was greeted at my car and she helped me with my stuff. Zavod Studio is so warm and welcoming, it is a beautiful big studio!

We had chatted through ideas and she made these very detailed moodboards so we all knew what we were going for. We got through so many sets, Xenia works efficiently and makes sure to perfect things in the studio. She is great at giving feedback and you can see her years of experience behind and in front of the camera shine through. A true star. All of the BOC images were simply incredible. I rarely get to do shoots like the one that we did, so I am very grateful to work with her on such interesting ideas.

I would highly recommend working with Xenia in any capacity. I am lucky enough to call her a friend ♥

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

Had a fabulous shoot with Xenia - I have actually lost count on how many times we have shot together now! That show's Xenia's professionalism in everything concerning the shoot, from pre-comms to the shoot, costumes, posing, all meticulously thought out. This time I shot with Xenia on an event organised by Tabitha Boydell. Xenia is so thoughtful and considerate of my age and capabilities (hahaha) - thank you and best wishes - Jann

It was an absolute dream working with Xenia!

Its clear from the get go why she is such a popular model to work with. She was extremely knowledgeable on shoot, versatile, professional, knew how to pose when and where, took direction effectively and had some amazing ideas.

The poses she displayed were stunning and effortless.

I definitely look forward to working with Xenia again in the future.

If you're contemplating booking this model for a shoot, I urge you not t hesitate. You will not be let down.

Thank you again for today's shoot!

There's already 344 references so let this be the 345th saying just how wonderful Xenia is. From some simple ideas shared when setting up the shoot Xenia transformed it into a a day full of the contrasts that I had been dreaming of - thank you so much. Such a delightful model in a studio that offers a never-ending stream of possibilities - my advice is to book both, soon. (...and for anyone still wondering, Xenia makes a great cuppa)

Xenia is one of the finest fashion models I've ever worked with.

Do not miss a chance to experience her generous, energetic, professional, skilful creativity.

I think this was fourth shoot with Xenia. The shoots just get better and better with her and of course we seem to have more fun whilst going about our work too. This time round we decided on a collaboration with MUA Alona Dmytrenko who skill is evident in the shots we achieved together, just superb work and looks for the shoot.

Xenia is the most expressive model I have worked with to date, her posing and expression is sublime. Her knowledge on lighting is just amazing and she is a great help with her advice. Any new photographers out there to model photography if there was one model I would highly recommend working with it would be Xenia. A lovely person and a beautiful model who will be only too willing to guide you if necessary and guarantee results you will be proud of.

Thank you Xenia for yet another wonderful shoot. I can't recommend you highly enough.

Till next time
