In January 2023, I had the pleasure of working on a studio-based “pilates fitness shoot” with the charming, talented and very hard-working Viktoria Pavlova. Viktoria is a classically-trained ballerina hailing all the way from her native Bulgaria. As well as being very beautiful, she has astounding flexibility and can place herself with millimetric precision.
Viktoria is indeed an very talented person, with amazing stamina and perseverance. She takes a lot of trouble to get the shot just right. She is also a classically trained ballet dancer. Her images en pointe were absolutely stunning. And yet she was able to make complex and difficult poses appear natural and easy. In fact it was one of the most productive shoots I have enjoyed in many years.
Her pre-shoot communications were excellent.. She came prepared to the shoot with a great selection of costumes. Viktoria also crated an excellent mood board. c/w links so we could put the images she wanted to replicate on a large screen. She even emailed us with a picture of her negative COVID lateral flow test the night before the shoot.
Lovely model, lovely person and I feel very honoured to have worked with her.
