References for Zara Watson

What can I say about shooting with Zara, that has not been said a million times on here already.

She is an absolute delight to not only work with but to know in person, even though she works almost non stop, Zara always finds time to chat and text about the shoot beforehand.

Then whilst wandering around in a towel, she was acting as the lighting director, and knew exactly where the light needed to be, to get the best from her looks.

Her ideas and enthusiasm knew no bounds, and what she doesn't know about cameras and lenses and angles etc, is endless, so listen to what she has to say..it's worth it..

Will be working with Zara again at the end of March and can't wait for that.

I had my first shoot with Zara at Wolfe Cottage Studio, this was my first time shooting both a model and being in a studio! Zara was very helpful and reassuring prior to the shoot when I had some questions and areas I was unsure about. During the session, Zara was full of energy, polite, creative and very knowledgeable from her vast experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better model to have shot with for my first time!

Great fun!

Thank you :)

Had a shoot with Zara last weekend. She is a perfect professional and worked tirelessly alongside me to help create my images. Also equally important she is great fun to work with and the time went by much too quickly with this greatly talented model. Cant wait to shoot with her again. Thanks Nick

So 394 positive references......what does that tell you ?....A true pro in every sense of the word that's what.There is nothing I can say that has not already been said.....except ....please don't stop modelling till I have had another shoot with you, hopefully a longer one next time Zara (those baggy nylons weren't so bad after all were they)?

Shot with Zara at her studio day at Wolfe Cottage. I had communicated with Zara prior to the day with my idea to shoot Hollywood glamour with her. Zara came with suitable outfits and we were able to create some great images together. Zara was a delight to shoot with and was very helpful in refining the look of an image. I would highly recommend Zara and hope to work with her again in the future.

As I proceeded into the high-security area of the prison the guard informed me to keep my distance from Zara's cell, due to all the guards she'd attacked and maimed...SERIOUSLY!! YOU FELL FOR THAT??

All the talk about Zara being scary? Complete and utter rubbish! This lovely lady is a whole bundle of fun, SO down-to-earth, looks amazing, is extremely versatile and is ready to do whatever it takes to get the shot you want. The only minor niggle that I can say is that after looking forward to our booking for a few months is that the actual shoot flew by way too quickly. Zara is absolutely phenomenal at what she does, and always does so with a smile or laugh. She is one model I definitely have to shoot again ASAP! Extremely highly recommended!

This week I had a fantastic whole day photoshoot with Zara Watson. She is one of the best models I have ever worked with. She is pleasant and hardworking and I just can’t wait for the next shoot I have already booked with her. My only complaint is that it went by too quickly and I stupidly arranged something else afterwards so when she offered to keep going I had to say no! What an idiot I am!

Zara has been recommend to me by several other models and photographers. So I took the chance to fly her in to Hamburg for a weekend and arranged a studio day.

It was a perfect decision, the studio day sold out within less than 48 hours. All photographers attending where happy and asked me when she will be in Hamburg again.

Pre-shoot communication was excellent and we made sure that she has a smooth journey.

I had the chance to work with Zara for a full day at my studio on Sunday and we created some amazing pictures together. She is a fantastic model, very easy to work with and regardless whether you are a beginner or a pro, you will go home with great pictures.

I can very highly recommend Zara and I hope to work with her again in the near future and to lure her to Hamburg once more for another studio day.

Thanks for coming over and helping to create a very successful studio day and a great weekend full of fun.

All the best,

Mike

It was a special and extremely amazing shooting here in Hamburg with Zara, my first model from inside the PurplePort platform.

There is no need to praise her, by her kind personality she is absolutely professional and also interested to make the photographer´s life as easy as possible. She is also always interested to get the best image results.

What should I want more ?

Fun ? No, we had !

Better images ? Hard to imagine, they are great !

Another shooting ? Yes, please, always !

Best regards, Joe

I finally got to work with Zara and I could not be happier .

Zara is a stunning , wonderful and amazing person who in my eyes is a one of a kind , poses perfectly and is very hard working , in the 2 hours we had to work together we got through 5 sets of images using natural light and I could not be happier with the images just by looking at them briefly .

I cant wait to work with Zara once again as she is truly amazing .

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Zara for a full day at my studio and what a tremendously enjoyable day it was. Zara is such an experienced and professional model who is so helpful and hard working. I cannot thank her enough for her advice and patience together with her input into lighting and posing in trying to ensure I got the outcomes I was seeking.

I found Zara to be a warm and extremely pleasant person to work with who came literally with a car load of outfits and accessories. Zara is cool, funny, relaxed and chatty and I had a lot of fun working with her. I would recommend her to all, a must shoot with model.

Zara thank you.

Another wonderful shoot with the lovely Zara. This is the second time we've worked together and once again it was fun filled and productive.

Zara is a pleasure to work with both in terms of her personality and her modelling. Zara constantly comes up with great poses, works hard and goes that extra mile to ensure we got a great shot; it made my job easy! Along with two suitcases of clothes you really couldn't ask for more.

I highly recommend Zara and look forward to our next shoot.

So there's a rumour going round that Zara's scary, it's totally true! Scarily awesome, a pleasure to work with, full of energy and really patient. I hope to be able to shoot her with again in the future. Thanks Zara.

Well what can I say? Working with Zara was like working with a living legend!

After months of moaning and groaning about not having the privelage, I discovered that Zara was having a rare studio day in the north. So, almost instinctivly, I seized the oppurtunity and headed down to Stalybridge.

On arrival I couldnt have wished for anything better. A fantastic studio, with great staff, and of course Zara, raring to go into action.

I advised Zara that I wanted something very zany, but something that essentially would show off her character. So we improvised the majority of the shots, with her pulling a multitude of weird and wacky expressions. I was beyond happy with the results!

She is incredibly versatile, patient and accomodating, with a very bubbly, funny and non-diva like persona. She is a truly wonderful person to work with, and I could work with her time and time again if geography wasnt such an issue!

So 3 cheers from me, and of course, if you havent worked with Zara, you're missing out on a treat!

You may often hear it said that a high caliber model puts on a show whenever a camera is pointed at him or her. These words could have been written especially for the lovely person who is Zara Watson.

I had a little while ago made up my mind that I wanted to shoot with Zara and it wasn't too long before I gave the possibility more of my attention. Firstly AnnaLee gave me her personal recommendation as did Stefano Brunesci - and so too did Ponyo who in fact insisted that I book Zara!

Zara and I quickly warmed to each other during the pre shoot communications which is always a good sign.

Upon finally meeting (an arrangement which very nearly fell through at the last minute because I couldn't get the train door open!), I was greeted by a gentle, approachable lady who possessed a beautiful and friendly smile. Her first concern for me was that would be comfortable.

I felt so relaxed with her that I was happy just to talk with her throughout the shoot. However, just as soon as I looked through the view finder, I was knocked for six by the subject stood in front of me: Zara Watson the down to Earth person had stepped into character and became Zara Watson the model!

Like so many great models whom I have felt privileged to work with, Zara has changed the way I now think about portraiture. For example, she kindly offered technical support which was duly welcomed and she has encouraged me to up the ante.

She and I had such a fun filled shoot which ran through a number of different sets. My only regret is that, like all good things, it came to an end.

I had discussed a second shoot with Zara - and we hadn't even done our first one! I really do hope that we can get together again soon.

Of course, you could just ignore all the above plaudits as I can easily sum up this highly recommended model in three little words - Zara Watson rocks!

Thank you Zara x
