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.

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

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!

Shoot #2: Boudoir Lingerie

Another excellent shoot. Zella communicates her levels and boundaries clearly at all times, which makes working with her a relaxed and creative experience. She presents herself confidently and brings something a little bit extra to every shot. She will flow through poses comfortably when left to her own devices, and also listens well to direction when it is given, interpreting instructions quickly and accurately. As ever, Zella was friendly, energetic and cheerful throughout, making everyone (including the cat) comfortable in her presence.

Shoot #1: University Graduation Photoshoot Concept

Zella was a pleasure to work with; communicating and coordinating well before the shoot, then arriving promptly and posing confidently throughout. She presents herself well and brings a relaxed atmosphere with her to her shoots. She is very polite, friendly, and patient.

Second and hopefully not the last time I get to do makeup for Zella! Another fantastic Editorial shoot. We did two makeup looks, the first being a more natural look and the second being more eye heavy keeping the base as it was showing her gorgeous skin. Zella is a wonderful model in my chair, a pleasure to talk to and happy to be guided. I stayed closely to take BTS and she is amazing at what she does!

Another great shoot with Zella. This was my first time doing a shoot in a studio setting and Zella made it a pleasure, she came with plenty of outfits and we got through quite a few of them in our couple of hours. As usual Zella is lovely to be around and the time flies by, it's great to find someone that you can have a chat and a bit of a laugh with while making great photos.

Blown away by this young lady. Elegant, engaging, professional and willing to try anything I put forward. I had high expectations from the pre-shoot communication and I wasn't disappointed. Zella poses like a dream and takes what little direction I gave like a duck to water. And not only that, she is a great conversationalist - thoroughly enjoyable shoot and I would love to work with Zella again any time.

Totally and highly recommended.

Gary Allkins

Had a lovely shoot with Zella at Apex Studio in Telford, very pleasant and chatty which made the shoot even more pleasurable. Didn't realise it was her first time in a group situation as she was extremely comfortable in front of camera and took direction with ease.

We've already talked about another shoot 1-2-1 and shall look forward to working with this beautiful soul again, Zella comes highly recommended.

2nd time working with Zella

This time she was model for one of our evening themed workshops "Lingerie & Gels"

Zella turned up on time with a great big smile & it was great to have a little catch up & explain the plan for our themed evening.

This was Zellas first time working with a group & studio workshop, but she excellent throughout the evening & showed a wide variety of poses which looked great.

Zella got on really well with all the photographers in attendance. She is really personable & always smiling.

Excellent evening, Excellent Model, Highly recommended & can't wait to have her back on a future event.

I can’t believe this was the first studio day for this incredible local model. I shot Zella at Apex Studios in Telford, shooting three themed sets over three hours. Zella took direction very easily but poses very naturally.

She was fun to shoot and clearly enjoyed her first studio experience. I am very happy with the images from the shoot and looking forward to working with her again. I highly recommend Zella.

Had a first shoot with Zella and it was nice working with her and also met his boyfriend too. We did fashion and lingerie style shoot at the hotel that she stayed in, although the room was compact but manage to accomplish the task in the set time. Zella is an aspiring model and an amazing individual to work with.

A Bell

Had a great first shoot with Zella and she is amaizing. Nothing is to hard for her and poses well.

I would definatly recommend Zella and I look forward to future shoots with her.

Zella was brilliant to work with. pre shoot comms were good and she arrived on time and well prepared for the day.

we had a really great shoot with a relaxed atmosphere and despute it being an 8hr shoot, she posed constantly in multiple outfits and only took a couple of short break.

if anyone is looking for a model, then Zella wont disappoint.
