I was on one of Mick Croshaw's workshops, and Zara modelled for it. The workshop was great, as we covered a range of lighting techniques.

Zara was very approachable, and was easy to work with. Zara worked extremely hard as the day was no stop. I was very happy with what images we created, Zara had great enthusiasm, and her facial expressions are some of the best.

I really enjoyed working with Zara as she was very friendly and knows her craft inside and out; and hope to work her again in the future. She is born for fashion and portraiture photography!

I had the great pleasure of working with Zara at Modelography's Advanced Lighting workshop at Scarlet Door Studio.

Zara worked incredibly hard the entire day (as in unbelievably hard!). Zara is a fantastic creative spirit and a natural at engaging with photographers. I really enjoyed listening to Zara's insights into the pros and cons of certain poses, angles and props - as a developing photographer this is invaluable information and greatly appreciated.

Whilst the concepts and tutoring Modelography provided during the workshop was excellent, Zara did a brilliant job in extracting the potential of the lighting set-ups and helping the attendees capture some truly stunning images.

At the end of the workshop Zara chatted to the photographers. She's very friendly and more than happy to offer feedback.

Definitely recommended! 100%!

We worked together at Zara’s home studio. We barely scratched the surface of the seemingly endless possibilities. The decoration is exemplary. Zara is a delightful model and person. Professional and most helpful and has tremendous insight that contributes to any shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed the day and have the most highest regard for Zara. Zara’s poses talk for themselves.

What a great 3 days I had with Zara on a @Sperry1 Gran Canaria workshop. She slips from chatting away into "modelling mode" in the blink of an eye. With her amazing ability to pop a pose, seemingly out of nothing, I got the chance for some wonderful shots set in some interesting Gran Canaria locations. Although she brought along a great wardrobe, she'd look amazing in anything. Nothing short of a great experience shooting a fantastic lady. Thanks Zara.

I met Zara at a three day workshop run by Stephen Perry in Gran Canaria, she was one of the two models.

Zara was a joy to be with, both when shooting and socially during meals etc. She often used her wealth of experience to give valuable advice and tips.

I was on the same workshop in Gran Canaria as Paul6 and agree with him that Zara was a joy to work with.

She is a consummate professional with a strong understanding of what makes an image work and, more importantly perhaps, what works against it.

Despite the long days she remained full of energy and enthusiasm and gave her all throughout.

Many thanks!

PS

Zara is a delight to work with offering all her experience and the benefits of working with a professional model. Make-up superb and a large wardrobe (well floordrobe 😮) of outfits.

Zara's input as the shoot progressed was invaluable in achieving the desired results. We shot at Zara's place which provides numerous sets in a clean and tidy environment. We have worked together previously and are likely to again in the future.

Highly recommended.

I had a good feeling when I was approached by Zara and Stephen recently as they were moving in to my neighbourhood but the results hugely exceeded my expectations! They are so warm and welcoming and both very experienced and talented. I felt like home and on the same page regarding the level of bonkers and fun with the ideas we all had for our shoot. I fell in love with their lovely house which provides endless possibilities to shoot. And I'm hoping we will use most of them in future projects :)

Zara is a delight to work with, and she makes everything look amazing, both make-up and outfits. She'll try literally anything to make the shot more interesting and just basically to get THAT SHOT.

I don't think I actually have to recommend Zara to anyone, her work speaks for itself and it's pretty obvious that anyone in their right mind would want to work with someone as versatile and amazing as Zara!

I had the pleasure of working with Zara for the second time, on a duo shoot at her new home in Kettering, and what a wonderful time we had. Zara is a fantastic model to work with: not only is she keen and knowledgeable about her art but also such a down to earth, lovely person who is a joy to be around. I felt at ease the moment I stepped inside-so thank you for being such a gem, and I can't wait to organise another shoot again!

It was great to meet up with Zara again having worked with her on a couple of portfolio builder days

We worked through the ideas I had put forward and had a laugh and gossip all the way through the session.

As in the other references Zara is great to work with and poses to your requirements an amazing model

Highly recommend

I was so pleased when Zara agreed to work with me for our third shoot! Communications as always were excellent and Zara arrived on time. She also meticulously studied the mood board I provided.

Zara arrived with an array of garments that captured the looks perfectly, and worked tirelessly throughout the day keeping her energetic pace to produce some stunning images. She also contributed to the technical side too which is always welcome.

We had an awesome shoot and if you haven't shot with Zara, what are you waiting for?? Highly recommended!!

Zara came into the studio on a mini group day to shoot with Mark Rowe.

She is a wonderful model and such a delight to have in the studio. Friendly, funny, chatty and an amazing model. She worked flawlessly with Mark throughout the day

A genuine pleasure to have in the studio and we look forward to welcoming her back :)

Wonderful experienced model with great style and enthusiasm and a great unique location as well. Can't be bad. It was a real pleasure to meet Zara and shoot with her. Great results gauranteed :)

As this was my first shoot with Zara I have to admit to be somewhat nervous, I had arranged to shoot with Zara at her beautiful home in Kettering, within minutes of meeting Zara she had put me totally at ease. She has to be one of the most easygoing, grounded models I,v had the pleasure of shooting with. If you have looked at her portfolio then you won't need me to tell you want a talented model Zara is. Not only does Zara flow effortlessly from one pose to another but she has a great deal of knowledge in photography which I found to be invaluable. Thanks to Zara's, Help, great posing and fantastic look I came away with some awesome images. TO SUM UP. ONE AWSOME DAY WITH ONE QUALITY MODEL. Thank you Zara for a great day. hope to work with you again soon.

I had the pleasure recently to have a brief shoot with the very lovely Zara at her beautiful new home in Kettering.

It was a short window of opportunity between a hard week and an impending even harder weekend of work.

Zara was such a warm and welcoming host and incredibly helpful throughout and we had a wonderful natter too between bouncing around her home from stunningly decorated room to even more stunningly decorated next room.

I only wish I could have stayed and shot for longer.

I had the pleasure of shooting Zara at Solo Studio in Wigston today as part of her studio day. What a pleasure it was! She's bright, bubbly and happy go lucky. She's also very patient while waiting for some crap photographer (me!) to sort out his camera settings and lenses. I'd suggested some outfits and ideas I'd had prior to the shoot and Zara produced this huge suitcase which was rammed with outfits. She'd even gone to the trouble of making up a top that I'd mentioned and it was perfect. Ultra professional, extremely easy to get on with and a joy to photograph so it's a yes from me!

I really enjoyed shooting with Zara today. Her easy going and positive nature make her a pleasure to work with. She has good ideas and never runs out of poses. Thoroughly recommended.

Andrew Smith

Second shoot with Zara today. Could not be happier with the results. So easy to work with, and knows just when to make a great suggestion. Or when to follow my lead. It took a while to schedule this shoot. But I'm glad we worked it out.

100% recommended.
