I worked with Xenia for the third and again at one of Tabitha Boydell's marvellous events.

Xenia is easy and fun to work with and she helps me get some great results.

I expect to work with her again; maybe at another event by Tabitha or maybe I will make a trip to Sheffield for a one-to-one shoot in her studio.

Last month I shot with Xenia for the first time when I booked to shoot with her remotely during her shoot-a-set day at Trident Studio. I shot three of the four sets she was doing during the day (the only reason I hadn't booked for the fourth was that I missed it when I was booking), with us shooting three different fashion looks with distinctive lighting for each ensuring a different and unique vibe. Her outfit choices were excellent and perfectly complemented the lighting setups and she was an absolute pro at her posing, effortlessly switching between poses without direction. Some fantastic images resulted from the shoot and I am very happy with the results. I found Xenia to be very friendly and professional and I would definitely work with her again. Very highly recommended!

First time shoot with Xenia and it was at Chris Conway's studio on his shoot-a-set remote day.

Great model 3 different sets and style and not a bad image taken but you'd find it very hard to take a bad image of her unless you left the cap on the lenses.

I look forward to working with her again in the future this time in person.

Highly recommended.

Worked with this lovely lady on a group shoot at Chris Conways studio, Well she is fab, looks great as you can see, poses wonderfully, has a great personality, is loads of fun and gives you great images.

Impossible to take a bad shot unless you leave the lens cap on which I accidently did but that was quickly rectified. Can't recommend this lovely lady highly enough, you can't go wrong, book her in

I was really looking forward to shooting with Xenia again after two years, and I wasn’t disappointed in any way.

Not only is she a beautiful model, photographer and studio owner, she is a beautiful person. Funny, chatty, hardworking, experienced, knowledgeable and a whole bunch more adjectives that have probably already been said about her…

Xenia puts 100% into what she does and clearly enjoys it, which makes it enjoyable for everyone else. She is extremely versatile and adaptable, and works with you to get the best possible images.

Truly one of the best around and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Спасибо большое Ксения. Ты звезда.🌟✨

This was my third time working with Xenia at her ever-evolving and improving Zavod Studio in Sheffield, and each session has been a standout experience, but this one was something truly exceptional.

Xenia is a multi-talented tour de force of a model - outstanding makeup artist, amazing stylist, bang on poses & expressions and a genuinely lovely & wonderful human being. Her professionalism and friendly demeanour make working with her an absolute joy. Every time we shoot, Xenia brings her A-game, making it incredibly difficult to choose which shots to edit because they’re all so good! Honestly!

Her versatility is unmatched. Whether we’re exploring conceptual themes, capturing intense portraits, or venturing into something a bit more creatively "out there", Xenia transitions effortlessly and brings each idea to life with a unique blend of creativity and skill. I’m so random and yet Xenia manages to tune into what I’m after and we get the goods … every time!

On the day we tackled three distinct sets, each with its own vibe and each with its own creative challenge, and Xenia’s preparation and input were impeccable, as always. From the carefully chosen outfits to the collaborative ideas, everything came together perfectly. The results were stunning, and it’s a testament to Xenia’s talent that she continues to elevate each shoot we do together.

If you’re a photographer in search of a model who embodies professionalism, creativity, and sheer talent, Xenia is the one. She’s truly in a league of her own, and every shoot with her is an unforgettable experience. I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with such a gifted and inspiring individual.

Thank you, Xenia, for another incredible shoot, just wow!

After admiring her work for so long I had the absolute pleasure of working with Xeniamodel for the first time at an event at the amazing tankspace studio in Ollerton. Xenia was the first model to kick of the 4 model event in the rain room and what a start it was. Her look and vibe worked perfectly in that setting.

Xenia is genuinely such a lovely chilled and easy going person with so much talent, creativeness, and passion about her craft. Throughout the event Xenia was full of positive energy putting 110% effort into every shot, Xenia not only poses uniquely and effortlessly but she has an amazing eye for the fine details ensuring she brings any concept to life with an amazing Wow factor.

If you are lucky enough to work with this fantastic young lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. Totally recommended.

Thanks for your hard work and patience and a great creative session, Im looking forward to working with you again very soon :)

I had the most fantastic shoot yesterday with Xenia at her studio in Sheffield.

All through the arrangements the comms were clear and friendly. The studio is very well equipped and the coffee and chat were great. I had 3 super productive hours and got so many stunning images because of her brilliant posing and imagination.

She is professional, talented and gorgeous. I can not recommend her enough

I reached out to Xenia as I was looking for a versatile, experienced model for edgy fashion images in a location neat Sheffield. I was not disappointed. Xenia was professional from the start, the shoot was easy to arrange and she thought carefully about the ideas and mood board I shared. As a result we were shooting great images from the start even though we have never worked together before and we were in a new location for us . It is always appreciated when models take the time to understand the shoot plan as Xenia did 😀. On the actual shoot the vibe was exactly what I hoped for - lots of fun but very focussed on making great images and a good balance between taking direction and sharing ideas between the two of us. Xenia is a great model and her excellent portfolio is very representative of her super look and posing skills so we got exactly the photos I had hoped for. As a big bonus we seemed to click on a personal, working level, Xenia found my idiosyncrasies amusing rather than annoying and we both were prepared to poke fun at each other in a light hearted way that made for a relaxed and enjoyable shoot experience. I would definitely recommend Xenia and hope to work with her again in the not too distant future. Thanks for a fun shoot Xenia

Xenia has been on my “would do anything to work with” list for a while. We briefly met earlier this year at a group shoot in London and it only confirmed my wish to work with her.

That opportunity was last weekend. I know Xenia has extraordinary style and skills with makeup and wanted to do something epic.

Inspiration from Rankin and Mario Testino along with one of my out there purchases set the scene for a shoot that proved to be epic. Xenia brought a range of outfits that took the inspiration and elevated it to another level.

Generously collaborating, Xenia drew out my best work as a photographer to date.

Absolutely recommended!!!!

Dear Xenia.

WOW. WOW. WOW! What can we say. You are amazing. We knew instantly you were going to be so fun and easy to work with when we had our Zoom call but nothing prepared us for the weekend we have just had with you.

Arriving early, prepared and ready to get shooting you made our "Getting To Know You" photo-shoot on Saturday Evening the brilliant session it was - which made us all excited for a full day on Sunday.

Your communications are spot on and your organisational skills are second to none. We absolutely loved how you had planned and styled 2 different looks for the Saturday and a further 5 for the Sunday - providing our photographers with a wide array of styles and looks.

You fitted in perfectly, getting to know each of us, joining in, asking questions and making sure everyone was happy with what they were making in camera.

You were an absolute joy to work with and we are already looking forward to welcoming you to Llandudno in North Wales as well as a few other ideas we have up our sleeve.

Thank you again for giving us a brilliant weekend of photography.

Lee, Eifion and Team Welshot

Another super shoot with Xenia at the wonderful Zavod studio - this time with a group I organised on behalf a local camera club. The group ranged from complete novice to experienced portrait photographers and Xenia was incredibly helpful and patient with them all - making everyone feel welcome and equally involved. It goes without saying that her posing was on point as was her choice of costumes. The night ended with a bunch of very happy togs who are already asking "when can we do the next one?"

Another fab shoot with Xenia, so versatile and creative in her posing, she used my props with enthusiasm and intelligence and together we captured stunning images.

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

Barbara Jenkin

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
