This girl was an absolute pleasure to work with and from the start of the shoot I couldn’t have been happier. Amazing pre comms before the shoot and her sense of humour was fantastic. She needed almost no direction as her poses for the shoot just flowed. It was good to have her partner assist as well and we have already discussed rebooking later this year. A definite thumbs up from me and I really look forward to working with her again in the future. Definitely recommend.

I booked Zella for a themed shoot to play a character lost and wondering across the Severn Bridge. Zella answered my casting on PP and provided some background to support her suitability for the assignment.

Pre-shoot comms were ace. Really simple and straight forward.

On shoot Zella listened well to my briefing and also chipped in with her own ideas. This was a difficult assignment as all the poses were designed to look sad and traumatised. Zella's character acting skills proved excellent and she delivered well to create story and narrative.

She is friendly, chatty and just really great to be with. The shoot flew by in a flash.

I highly recommend Zella and look forward to shooting again with her soon.

My second shoot with Zella was the easiest to set up and we went from initial contact to having agreed time, place and outfits all within the hour.

Zella's train broke down on her way to me but she kept in constant contact and even though the breakdown meant that the shoot evetually happened later than we had first envisaged, she was still willing to make the journey without knowing how she would get home afterwards (I'm happy to report that she did!)

Zella worked very hard for the duration of the shoot and produced some wonderful images yet again. Thank you Zella for all your hard work and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

I am very thankful to Zella for undertaking the long train journey to do a photoshoot at my home studio. Pre-shoot communications were excellent, and Zella arrived with all the outfits we had discussed.

Zella is a professional and competent model, confident in her posing, which is very natural and flowing. She has an immense range of poses in her repertoire and can also take direction happily, she readily interpreted my ideas into reality.

We covered a wide range of styles from portrait, fashion, dance and lingerie and she took the many outfit changes in her stride and with enthusiasm. Some styles we wanted to expand on, so we are hoping to get another shoot booked to develop those concepts further.

Zella is a pleasure to work with and the three and a half hours before it was time to get her return train, simply flew by.

I definitely recommend working with Zella and will hopefully be doing so again soon.

Zella visited my home studio for our 3rd shoot of 2023 and thoroughly delivered, as always. Her pre-comms were excellent, her wardrobe was varied and high quality, and she engaged with some new and creative ideas with enthusiasm. She always communicates well in-person, offers strong posing and responds well to creative direction.

Zella is always a cheerful and bright person to have around, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thoroughly recommended, as always. Thank you.

I had super shoot with Zella today. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and Zella brought all the outfits we’d discussed. Zella worked incredibly hard with poses and outfit changes. She’s a stunning young lady with a beautiful figure that really worked perfectly for the shoot themes.

I really enjoyed working with her and would not hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended by me, thanks for a great shoot Zella 🙂

Second shoot with Zella

Great Comms. And arrived at the time we agreed.

She brought all the items we discussed and then when we started shooting she has plenty of poses and fun and relaxed to work with.

Really happy with the results and looking forward to working with again

Very clear and simple pre shoot communication spot on time.

Did well throughout despite rain and mud

Despite trying (and failing) to book a shoot a couple of years ago all it took in the end was a short notice casting by Zella and a couple of days later we met up for our first shoot.

Pre-shoot comms were excellent with outfits agreed beforehand in that short space of time and Zella travelled to West Wales for an autumnal fashion shoot. She has some beautiful outfits and despite the many challenges of terrain that I presented her with, she coped admirably with them all.

Zella does not need direction although she's willing to take it if offered and we managed to get through three outfit changes in good time. We also found a common interest in fiction and it was a very enjoyable few hours I must admit.

Needless to say Zella comes with the highest recommendation from me.

You should hire Zella for her smile alone! It is mysterious, enchanting, knowing, communicative of all the intellectual depth that lies within this brilliant model. Her legs are pretty amazing too... We had a really fun shoot, with great results. Zella worked tirelessly throughout, changing outfits at lightning speed and following direction perfectly. Highly recommended.

It was a great experience overall to shoot with Zella, it was my first shoot with her and I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for her exceptional work.

She arrived on time and has great posing skills, and her ability to take directions with ease greatly contributed to the success of the project. Bringing outfits that perfectly matched the shoot's theme was a thoughtful touch.

Her professionalism and dedication did not go unnoticed, and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Great shoot with Zella today - communication before the shoot was great very easy to arrange and when it came to the shoot Zella was fantastic - great array of outfits, really engaged with the shoot and very easy to talk to as we went along. All in all a great shoot and a model I would highly recommend to other photographers.

Philip Jenkins

First shoot with Zella, great girl and she was able to follow direction well.

We did a few outfits today, including an absolutely adorable yellow jumper, and we're already discussing doing another shoot in November during reading week. So hopefully that's praise enough. Looking forward to working with you again.

It was great to shoot with Zella again! This time we did an alternative fashion shoot and Zella came with a couple of different options for us to shoot.

We did a mini city centre walk round and found some awesome spots to shoot, and got some really nice shots.

As always makeup was spot on and nailed the poses!

Can’t wait to work together again

Simon Bond Photography

I have shot Zella a couple of times as part of group shoots and I needed a model for a 121 fashion shoot and 5'9" Zella came straight to mind. After detailed comms prior to the shoot, Zella arrived in plenty of time with a suitcase full of the clothing we had discussed with lots of choice of outfits. She wasted no time in getting ready for the first set and followed direction well when required. Zella is a lovely lady, poses very naturally and is very easy going. She has a very good work rate and am more than happy with the results from the shoot. I would definetely recommend Zella and look forward to working with her in the future.

The Apex Studio (Telford)

Zella was model for one of our recent workshops.

As always she turned up on time & is always easy to get along with.

This workshop was Shutter Drag & Long Exposures, which Zella had not done before so it takes a little getting used to & working out how to pose to produce the best results/effect. She did really well for her first time shooting this method & we produced some great results.

Zella is always easy to talk to & gets along well with all the photographers in attendance.

We look forward to having Zella back again soon

Another shoot with Zella - this time an all-day one at my usual location. Why did I book her again? Well...

Apart from her classy looks (she can look ever so posh), toned figure, enthusiasm, creativity, work ethic, excellent communications, reliability, 100% professionalism in every respect, and that she's a lovely person and soooooo easy to get along with, I'm not sure why. :)

To be serious... Zella is a joy to work with. 100% recommendation. Indeed, I'll soon be nagging her for shoot No.3.

Second shoot, but first time together, with BambiWillow and Zella Whitfield and I can't recommend either of them enough.

I came up with a suggestion of a plan (tour through mid-Wales) which they adapted to everyone's convenience. All styling and themes were left to them and they didn't disappoint, totally amazing. They willingly tried my ideas (some worked, some didn't) and gave feedback to help me - this is a joint process after all.

Mid-Wales is green for a reason and we had to give up on one location because of rain and another location was hampered by too much sun. We finished at Aberystwyth castle, a strong wind blowing and both girls in less than ideal clothing for the conditions (but perfect for photographing) and not a word of complaint. Indeed, the only comments were to ensure that I was getting the images I wanted.

True professionalism, a pleasure to work with and I hope we can all do it again sometime.

I'd admired Zella's work for a while, so I was delighted to arrange a shoot with her when I was in her area.

Zella's pre-shoot communications had been excellent so, on shoot day, we were able to hit the ground running. We shot 'posh frocks on location', and Zella rocked it. Her input - her classy looks, posing ability, experience and creativity - was invaluable, and I'm delighted with the pictures.

On top of all that Zella is reliable (she turned up early at a 'sod to find' location), is 100% professional in every respect, and she has a sparkling personality and a great sense of humour.

Hugely enjoyable (and productive) shoot. Thanks, Zella!

Had an excellent shoot with Zella and she was lovely to work with.

She arrived on time with the outfit we had agreed on plus alternatives.

She poses very well, takes direction well and I was very happy with the results.

I also appreciated the journey time it took her to get to our shoot location.

I wouldn’t hesitate in working with her again, and recommend her to photographers!
