I had my first shoot with Xenia yesterday and it was amazing! I've never taken so many images in 2 hours and each one is worthy of sharing!

My original idea had to be changed due to an issue with childcare but Xenia was amazing and allowed my 8 year old to tag along as a special one off and I'm not sure who had more fun out of the three of us 🤣

Xenia is really fun and friendly but also an incredible model and studio owner. She knows her stuff and suggested set ups that helped me achieve my goal.

I can't wait to book in for my original idea when the school holidays are over... Although I think my daughter is going to be disappointed she can't come too 🤣

I had my first shoot at the studio with Xenia using 2 lighting sets for fast flowing movement shots and Character portraits.

Firstly I must say what a lovely and bubbly person she is with tireless energy and endless wit and fun. Needless to say our 5 hours past quickly and we created some amazing images which reflected my style of photography. Xenia understands lighting and as a photographer herself she quickly gets to grip with your ideas. Creating was so fast and Xenia adds her ideas in real time so you take your possibilities to the next level .

Looking back at the results I can honestly say there’s so much potential in our output.

On set she is delightful and has focus and energy. As soon as she stepped under the lights the studio was electric and I knew we were able to create something special.

I can’t wait to create some new creative work with the images from the day and look forward to our next session.

Xenia is a lovely and beautiful person at the height of her profession.

Had an amazing shoot with Xenia this week. She is absolutely brilliant, she came fully prepared with a great selection of clothing, her makeup was first class exactly as we had planned. She also has a great sense of humour and the time flew by, wish I could have shot her for a bit longer but the studio was already booked. I cannot recommend her highly enough, if you haven't had a shoot with her then you don't know what your missing, my advice just arrange a shoot!

Xenia stopped by today on her travels with Photographer Paul. It was a very short shoot but Xenia comes across as a very experienced model that will add input to get the best shots possible. Xenia was conversing well with her photographer and had a good sense of humour that just made the shoot time fly by.

Would love to see more of Xenia in action and happy to recommend her.

Neon Dreams Studio

It was the greatest pleasure to have been visited by the lovely Xenia on her sold out model weekend!

I knew she would be wonderful but wasn't prepared for the all round epicness of her charisma and personality, the edgy new hair is a great look too.

Xenia had a great energy all throughout the weekend, being a talented photographer herself she was able to give helpful feedback and was chatty and friendly to all the photographers attending.

I have seen so many awesome pictures come out of the weekend, she is a very skilled model and all round pleasure to have around.

I look forward to Xenia's return spring 2024 :)

Highly recommended!

Fabulous to meet and shoot with Xenia today at Neon Dreams Studio. She's such a wonderful person with awesome poses and ideas which made her very easy to work with.

I am really appreciative she brought clothes which matched with my moodboard so I could shoot as planned. Xenia is very open to ideas and it made for a great Portrait, Fashion and Creative shoot with Gels, Gobos and a smoke machine. Thanks so much Xenia love to work with you again! Very Highly Recommended!

I had the great pleasure of having an amazing shoot at the equally amazing Neon Dreams studio. What an absolutely fabulous model. So friendly and talented. Great communication and loads of fun and laughter. We just had a load of fun and got so many fabulous images. Time flew by and the last image just as good as the first. Can’t recommend her enough and I long to shoot again. Many thanks for such a great shoot.

First shoot with Xeniamodel at her studio day at Neon Dreams Studio. Our pre-shoot comms were good and she had clearly read and hoisted in my shoot plan as she was ready for the first set as I arrived.

Xenia is an experienced model (and photographer in her own right) which resulted in good conversations about the lighting and posing as we reviewed the images on the back of the camera. Xenia throws herself into the shoot with infectious enthusiasm, choosing great outfits and selecting great poses. She is easy to work with, very chatty and we laughed a lot as we worked through the sets I planned.

I had bought some of my outfits and we used a couple of those, mixed with the edgy outfits Xenia had, to produce a set of images I was very happy with. My lighting set ups worked well, fine tuned with input from Xenia and arranged by the always welcoming studio owner Natasha in between each set.

It was a pleasure to work with Xeniamodel and I would be very happy to work with her again. Highly recommended.

Xenia is such a joy to work with.

So much love for what she does and the images are incredible every time. She brings so much passion, knowledge and talent to every shoot. We've worked together twice, and I already can't wait for the next time.

Great to finally work with Xenia via remote at her sold out weekend at Neon Dreams Studio. I'd seen Xenia's work on PP and on her social media so hoped one day to be able to work with her. Thankfully I saw the studio appear as a casting and managed to get the first slot of the weekend.

It's rare that a first look/set you shoot with a model you've never worked with starts to produce results as you are both working out how the other works, but within a handful of shots, Xenia had already produced poses that could be classes as keepers. She's awesome at giving a variety of poses (so much so I had to wait for the live view to come back via the remote to keep up). We had agreed on five looks from a mood board, but we already had gone through two within 30 mins! Why shoot more when you both think you've got shots in the bag already. The good thing is Xenia can adapt quickly so we brought in props like a stool or chair and we she could counting to offer new and varied poses. She also doesn't take herself too seriously between shots which is always a good sign.

The time of the shoot went by really quickly and I think I've shot more images for a remote than I normally would, but the keep rate is very high throughout due to Xenia's skill. I'm looking forward to working with her in the future (in person) as I've booked onto an event at the start of 2024 where she is one of the models. Great first shoot and hopefully many more creative and funny shoots to come in the future. Highly recommended.

Unquestionably I would recommend this lady. Focused, creative, knowledgeable, funny, beautiful and a soupcon bonkers, Xenia is one of the very best out there and you will be guaranteed to be challenged but also to get absolute quality shots cos she makes it happen. 3rd time shooting on this day and we went full on creative…got some awesome shots if BOC is representative. Can’t wait to shoot again.

I had my fifth shoot with this incredible model the other day. This of course speaks for itself. As a model Xenia is incredible. She has huge talent in poses, as an MUA, facial expressions and indeed in terms of how she understands light. On top of this she has a wonderful friendly and fun personality.

Absolutely 2000% recommended. Looking forward to shoot number six. Thanks for a great shoot again Xenia.

Worked with Xenia for a outdoor group shoot, she was really professional, very talented and fun to work with, she made good use of the surrounding areas and buildings with lots of good ideas for the perfect shot plus worked well with all of the photographers and even the passer-by's dog that we had join us. I would HIGHLY recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future!

Another great session with Xenia - this time a themed group shoot for Sheffield Photographic Society. Xenia fully threw herself into the event - her infectious personality and superb styling made the whole evening a great success (in spite of the slightly dodgy weather). Thoroughly enjoyable evening - judging on the feedback from the group so far I think I can safely say there are 15 recommendations for Xenia!!

OK. So this girl is awesome. I mean her portfolio speaks for itself, but if you haven’t met her yet, just know there is soooo much more behind each one of those images. Xenia is a machine! She is very efficient, great at comms and general organisation etc. I had sent a moodboard ahead of our shoot and she was fully onboard and even excited. She arrived with so many outfits that were a perfect match but is also an expert with makeup which really smashed our shots out of the park. We rattled through our planned shots and she didn’t stop for breath, she seemed constantly inspired and wanted to make the best of each look. We completed our shoot with a glass of wine in the sun whilst she picked her favourite shots, a perfect end to an amazing shoot. Thank you Xenia, you are great at what you do, but also lots of fun.

Had an absolutely awesome second proper shoot with Xenia, at Murder Mile Studios ( after also having an amazing time shooting with Xenia at Creativity Hub and Tabitha Boydell events ) :-) Xenia is quite simply one of the most incredible models I have ever worked with - her styling is always on point, makeup and hair immaculate and creative, posing on a complete other level with her precision and creativity! :-) On top of this Xenia is fantastically versatile and adaptable and soooo much fun to work with!! :-) had a mind blowing shoot, a really great time shooting and came away with fabulous images! :-) totally recommended and can't wait to work with her again! :-) Thank you so much! :-)

I had the opportunity to work with Xenia at Burford Manor this week.

Pre shoot comes were great and Xenia arrived on time with immaculate make up and nails.

Looking through her own work she is a very talented photographer who understands how to make the most of the light when she is modelling

She is a veritable posing machine and our 6 hour booking simply flew by.

I was a little apprehensive as Xenia had never worn latex before. She was happy to take advice about how to take it off and treated my outfits with respect which doesn't always happen!

A joy to work with I would recommend her to photographers of any level

Thanks for a lovely day Xenia, I look forward to arranging another shoot

We recently had the pleasure of working with Xenia on a fashion themed shoot at the Boardroom studio.

Upon meeting her she was friendly and lovely to be around.

During our shoot, Xenia demonstrated an innate understanding of how to work with natural light and contributed creative ideas to enhance the mood and aesthetic of our shoot.

Xenia has a great ability to embody different moods and personas, portraying the bold and confident attitude we hoped for resulting in the success of our shoot together.

Xenia was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her positive attitude, professionalism, strong work ethic and great conversation made for a very enjoyable shoot.

We look forward to working with her again in the future.

I just had the most amazing photoshoot with Xenia, and let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! Xenia's personality is off the charts, and her infectious smile had me grinning from ear to ear throughout the entire session. Not only is she a talented model, but she also knows her stuff when it comes to lighting and photography in general.

Let me just say, Xenia's vibe is on another level. She radiates positivity and brings an energy to the shoot that is simply contagious. We laughed, we danced, and we had the best time ever! Oh, and let's not forget about "Little Big" Dance - it was an epic highlight of the day :)

Working with Xenia was an absolute breeze. She effortlessly moved from one pose to another, switching up her expressions and nailing every shot. Her expertise in working with different lighting setups was impressive.

But what truly sets Xenia apart is her genuine kindness and down-to-earth nature. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease, like we were old friends just hanging out and having a good time. Her warm and caring attitude made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

I've worked with quite a few models in my short photography career, but Xenia is truly one of a kind. Her talent, infectious positivity, and incredible personality make her an absolute joy to be around. She has a way of bringing out the best in people and capturing those authentic moments.

If you're looking for a model who not only knows her craft but also brings a whole lot of fun and positive vibes to the shoot, Xenia is the one you need. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Working with her was an absolute pleasure, and I'm so grateful to have had the chance to meet such an incredible person.

She is the epitome of what makes photography so fulfilling. Her talent, infectious positivity, and relaxed attitude create an atmosphere that sparks creativity and captures genuine happiness. I couldn't be happier with the photoshoot experience, and I can confidently say that Xenia is the reason I love being a photographer.

This reference is long overdue.

I have only had the pleasure of working with Xenia once and from that session we have had 3 FPI’s and published 3 different Sets we did, including The Lace Mask series in different magazines.

Xenia is amazingly versatile and creative. We bounced ideas off each other and the results speak for themselves.

I have another shoot coming up and really excited to see what she will create to go with the clothing I bought especially for her.

It’s superfluous to say but I will,

I can highly recommend her to anyone who wants to create amazing photos and have a fun filled session.
