Today I had the immense pleasure of working with the lovely Kaya Lily on a studio-based vintage fitness shoot. She really is a delight to work with. And she made an almost 200km round trip in order to come down here.
Kaya Lily is a very classy, natural-looking sort of girl, with a slim but perfectly hourglass figure, big blue eyes and long dark-blonde hair that catches nicely in the breeze. She also has elegant posture, a smooth slightly tanned complexion and tiny little waist. Best of all for my style of work, she has no tattoos. not even a small one!
Her makeup was perfect, as she arrived with immaculate makeup, including matching lips fingernails and toe nails. It’s good to work with someone who pays this much attention to detail.
She is also a very thoughtful, considerate person and her pre-shoot communications are excellent. Our six hour shoot whizzed by in what seemed about twenty minutes. I have absolutely no idea where the time went. But fortunately we captured some excellent images that I hope you enjoy viewing as much as we enjoyed creating them.
Lovely model, lovely person and I look forward to working with her again.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Garfield on a retro-fitness themed photoshoot. Right from the initial contact, Garfield ensured everything was professionally organised.
Prior to the shoot day, Garfield and I connected over a pre-shoot call where we discussed the vision for the shoot and concepts. I was then sent a detailed shoot plan to review in advance as well.
On the day of the shoot, everything went incredibly smoothly. Garfield was kind enough to pick me up from the station, making me feel safe and taken care of from the very first moment.
His home studio has everything a photographer and model could need. The lighting set up is fantastic, and Garfield is also able to seamlessly change backdrops with the push of a button.
Garfield has a very calm and gentle approach which put me at ease. His wife was there on the day to help out with outfits and costume changes (of which they have plenty!). She also kindly made me a sandwich for lunch, which was a very sweet gesture and much appreciated.
The photos from the shoot came out beautifully. I am thrilled with the end results and will definitely be showcasing these images in my portfolio.
I would definitely recommend Garfield to any fellow models – it was a pleasure to work with such a professional photographer!
I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I hope you’ll come down for a second shoot one day. 🙂
