First shoot with Zella and I was a great one despite it being a boiling hot day!

Pre shoot coms were good as we discussed outfits for the shoot. Zella showed up on time, hair and make up looking great.

The shoot was fantastic, Zella had her own poses she rocked but also took direction well and we got some great results!

Could recommend her highly enough and look forward to shooting again with her in the future

Another weekend, so it must be time for another shoot with Zella, right? Absolutely! Zella brought along a friend this time as we took our chances in between a few rain showers, and they both worked brilliantly together.

There was a little hiking through woods and up and down hills, but they both gave it everything and I'm delighted with the images we produced. There were even some high jinks on rope swings at one point, just to add to the fun!

As always, Zella was a pleasure to work with, impeccable communications, and arriving at the location exactly on time as we had arranged. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Another highly enjoyable and productive shoot with the very excellent Zella this morning! Unfortunately, the heat and humidity, on what looks like being one of the hottest weekends in living memory, meant we cut things short after an hour or so when Zella began feeling a little faint. Nevertheless, we managed to produce some really nice images in a gothic style at a ruined chapel location.

As usual, Zella's communications leading up to the shoot were as well organised and as professional as anyone could wish for, and she was waiting for me on time, when I turned up to meet her (I was in fact delayed by ten minutes due to some erratic SatNav behaviour!)

I have no doubt we will be working together again quite soon, as we still have a list of ideas to work through, so I'm really looking forward to it! Thank you once again Zella, especially for trying to soldier on today in spite of the conditions. It goes without saying - highly recommended!

What a great days shooting with Zella in the gorgeous North Wales mountain forests. Despite our location 2 being closed we quickly re jigged the shoot and made for some fab images. Zella brought her partner Ryan along who really contributed to the shoot and helped carry stuff as well as running back to the car when I forgot ( OH my God 😊 ) my bloody camera 😊

Zella rates are clear on her profile. Her comms are spot on, very clear and also very prompt with no waiting for days for a response. She looks like her profile pics with no surprises on the day and her skin is just flawless making shooting and editing a dream. She rang me on route to tell my she may be running late due to a diversion but despite the hold up she arrived on time and ready to shoot. She then worked solidly with no long breaks or interruptions. She oozed enthusiasm and contributed to the shoot ideas making each shot as good as it can be. She has a fabulous positive mood which made the shoot just flow.

Hopefully the first shoot of many.

2 shoots in the same calendar month with Zella, and if there was enough time to do a third, I would, very happily! As before, Zella was a pleasure to work with, keen to try out a new outfit she had recently acquired, and happy adapt our original plans, which we changed late on due to what can only be described as a "wardrobe malfunction".

Although our plans appeared to be doomed by a heavy rain shower just as we met up, we grabbed umbrellas and headed up a hill to some castle ruins regardless. The weather held long enough for us to get some really nice images, and Zella kept soldiering on, despite looking and feeling very cold and windswept as we finished up for the day.

Plans are already on the drawing board for shoot #6 so watch this space! And of course, it goes without saying, that Zella is highly recommended by me!

Another shoot with Zella? Yes please! This was our fourth collaborative adventure, and there were literally pyrotechnics! Zella was as awesome to work with as before. I know exactly what to expect from her now - reliable, committed, adventurous, and great fun to work with. Zella is rapidly developing her own unique style that suits her perfectly, and makes every shoot with her a pleasure.

We also shot some drone footage during this shoot, which added another dimension to the day, and Zella rose to the occasion, in spite of having to stand on an exposed platform in quite a cold wind. I'm really pleased with the images I've reviewed from the shoot so far, and I hope Zella is too. I am really looking forward to yet another shoot with her in, hopefully, the not too distant future!

Once again, highly recommended!

I had my first shoot with Zella yesterday. It was a fabulous shoot and we produced a good range of images. Communications with her prior to the shoot were clear and concise and she responded promptly to my messages which filled me with confidence when it came to the shoot itself.

Zella is an extremely photogenic young lady with a distinctive look and has an awesome selection of lingerie which complement her natural beauty. She arrived a few minutes early for the shoot and came ready with several outfits, which she had managed to squeeze into a tiny rucksack, so we tried a number of different looks from what she had bought with her.

She came with her chaperone, who looked out for any dog walkers or similar, and he helped with carrying my heavy tripod which, as it happens, I never used in the end.

I would like to thanks Zella for her work and enthusiasm, and I would certainly be interested in working with her again. I would fully recommend her to other photographers.

This was my 3rd shoot with zella and was a duo shoot with Bambi Willow.

What a pleasure working with them again. Zella is very photogenic and interacted extremely well with the other model. posed well and Id brought along some sample images which i wanted to try and recreate and zella ensured the images were as good. shes polite and always fun to work with she can take direction well but also has lovely poses she can contribute to the shoot and always considers what the photographer needs from the shoot. Thankyou once again for another great shoot. untill next time.

The first thing that struck me was that Zella is just such a lovely person to meet and work with. We were able to talk about styles and levels she was happy with openly and as a result I was confident that she was comfortable with what we were trying to achieve. She is very photogenic and quickly relaxed and responded well to ideas. Her boyfriend was with her but didn't come to the studio, which I appreciated, but we all had a coffee and a chat afterwards , which was great.

I had my first shoot with Zella today. She was on time and ready to start the days shoot. Working with Zella was straightforward. Her energy was great throughout the shoot and she was confident and happy in making suggestions which added to the overall quality of images we created during the day. Zella worked tirelessly during the day long shot. Always positive and ready to look at ideas to keep the energy positive.

I have no hesitation in recommending Zella.

Thanks Zella for a great days shoot.

I shot with Zella for 6 hours today.

Zella was punctual, she brought the outfits we had identified with our pre shoot comms.

Zella was accompanied by her boyfriend who helped out fetching and carrying and working the reflector.

A busy day for Zella who worked hard to create the shots I wanted. She contributed greatly to the shoot and is very personable and professional.

It was fun and productive and a very cold day.

Zella has the longest legs!

I have no hesitation in recommending Zella to other photographers.

Thanks for a great shoot.

Our first booked date was kiboshed by Storm Eunice, but our follow-up date went without a hitch. Shoot location was a remote forested area situated roughly half way between us, high in the Welsh hills.

Despite the sunny conditions being on the decidedly chilly side, Zella coped admirably. She had brought several outfits to suit the mood board we'd shared in advance. Clambering over rocks and sitting on the edge of precipices were no problem at all.

Zella was efficient and professional in her comms leading up to the shoot. She's very well organised and inspires confidence that everything will go to plan.

Zella is a personable young lady, chatty and easy to get on with. She 'ticks all the boxes' and I am delighted to have worked with her. I recommend her to other photographers.

Had a great shoot with Zella. Was slightly shorter, than planned, due to traffic delaying me. But got a lot done in the time.

Great communication before the shoot.

Fun shoot and planning to shoot again in a month or two

Zella is a beautiful, hilarious and wonderful model and person.

She was scouted by the photographer who had already expressed interest in a shoot with myself and added Zella to the mix.

She turned up early to my house as the photographer was late and spent a very easy and relaxed time talking and meeting my animals.

As a model, Zella is relaxed, professional and to the point, effortlessly moving into pose after pose with no direction from the photographer. The weather had bitter wind and although freezing cold, the professionalism showed through and the shoot flowed great.

I'll definitely be shooting with Zella again, although, next time, I think I'll skip on the vegan chicken nuggets 😂 Definitely glad I only brought one box!

Thank you Zella and I'll see you soon 😁 x

My third shoot with Zella, this was a relatively short one hour blast in a location close to the Welsh border, in contrast to our previous six hour marathon! As usual, Zella was a delight to work with, well prepared for the shoot, showing up exactly on time as we arranged, and communicating impeccably and professionally throughout.

Once again, I am really happy with the results we got, as Zella is happy to go with the flow and experiment with ideas, as well as bringing along her own brand of creativity. And, of course, her lovely engaging personality makes every shoot with her an enjoyable pleasure! I'm already looking forward to the next one, with plans already discussed and preparations underway!

My second experience of shooting with Zella, and what a brilliant day it was! She turned up on time, well equipped with a great variety of outfits, all of which we used (with the exception of an awkward corset, I think!) and we made the very best use of our location too.

Zella kept the energy level going for a solid 6 hours, with just a couple of brief refreshment breaks, and was happy to experiment with different (sometimes bizarre) lighting effects as we let our creative urges run free. She has visibly grown in confidence and ability so much since our first shoot a few months ago, and she will only continue to go from strength to strength. An absolute pleasure to work with, a great sense of humour, a very likeable personality, and the time just flew by!

I am really looking forward to my next shoot with Zella, with a few ideas already discussed, so bring it on! Highly recommended, without hesitation!

Had a first shoot with the wonderful Zella Whitfield and it was a joy! Zella is fabulous to work with. Her pre-shoot communications are excellent and arranging the shoot was easy. As for her modelling, she’s extremely versatile, knows what looks good and is determined to be a great success and I’m sure she will be. She is able to turn her hand to many different styles. We focussed on portraits mostly as that was something Zella was keen to add to her portfolio.

I really enjoyed our time shooting and couldn’t be happier with the results we created. I’d certainly be happy to give my highest recommendation to Zella. She’s simply awesome!

Thanks Zella for a great day :-) I hope we’ll be able to shoot again soon.

Wow what a fabulous shoot with Zella who is relatively new to modelling, although it didn’t show.

From the very first messages between us I could tell that Zella was serious and committed to modelling, her communications were exceptional.

Zella was prepared to travel 3 ½ hrs to me to do a studio shoot. Which wasn’t easy due to issues with the trains. I was so grateful and apricated that a lot. We agreed the on the style and range of outfits that we would use. Zella has got some fabulous outfits and boots for modelling which are unique and I got some really amazing images has she looked fabulous.

I found Zella easy to work with and to chat to, she has plenty of confidence and willing to try out ideas. She has got good posing skills and is willing to take direction and wants to learn. I could see that she knows what works and doesn’t work for her.

Of course I would recommend Zella and I would absolutely like to work with her again. Thank you for great shoot.

Another fantastic shoot with zella.

Communication was first class and although this was her first lingerie shoot appeared relaxed and produced some great images and learnt a lot from the shoot. Very pleased thankyou. Until next time.

I met Zella for the first time yesterday and although it was freezing cold and windy she was dedicated and extremely well organized, we shot at a ruined castle and found shelterd places out of the wind. she posed well with a little direction, very relaxed and friendly and although fairly new to modeling im extremely pleased with the results and would deffinately recomend her. I look forward to working with her again and would like to thank her for a great afternoon.
