My third shoot with Elena and once again I had a fantastic time. Elena welcomed my input on images but was also brimming with ideas which all came out great. She is very easy to work with and regularly let me see the back if the camera so I could see what we were working on.

She shared images with me the same day and I was absolutely spoiled for choice.

I highly recommend Elena to anyone and I look forward to working with her again soon myself.

I love, love, LOVE Elena. She has such vision when shooting, it's an incredible atmosphere to be around. She makes me feel relaxed whenever I shoot with her, and we always end up having a great time!

This was my second shoot with Elena and once again I had a wonderful time and got some great images out of it.

The shoot felt very relaxed and Elena gave great direction and feedback throughout as well as really valuing my ideas and what I hoped to get out of the shoot too. She was brimming with ideas and brought several quirky props and costume items to the mix which made for some really fun images and in the end we had more amazing images than I knew what to do with.

I definitely hope to work with Elena again soon and am following the work she produces with other models because it's all so gorgeous!

Elena is an incredibly talented, creative, knowledgeable and relaxed photographer. I had a lot of fun shooting with her and would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.

We shot together in her lovely home, which provides an excellent location for shoots. I brought along another model friend of mine whom she was also happy to shoot with.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Elena and believe she had fun too. I would not hesitate to recommend this brilliant photographer :-) Looking to working with her again soon!

I'd been meaning to organise to shoot with Elena for a long time, so when an opportunity to do so randomly dropped into my lap I was super excited. When she invited along my fabulous prince puppy to collaborate too, excitement reached insanity levels.

Elena has the coolest, most laid back creative style I have encountered. I could have happily spent days at her lovely home just trying out different things, and I will definitely be back for more. Lots of light, space, encouragement and fun!

Highly recommended barely covers it - you must grab the chance to get in front of this woman's camera if it comes your way.

I had so much fun shooting with Elena on Friday. We had a few vague ideas, then combined our wardrobes and makeup collections (she has a beautiful house full of awesome outfits, jewellery and as much make-up as a model could want) to make some gorgeous pictures (occasionally with a slightly reluctant feline co-model). :D

She's very easy to work with and mindful of the model's comfort (and modesty outdoors!) and works quickly too. Pre-shoot communication was great and I knew exactly where I needed to be and the number to call in case of delays.

Highly recommended.

Every time with Elena is Amazing! and different… it's all beautifully surprising : Location, Models, Designers and props. It's like Alice ( with a camera) in wonderland! Could be addictive though ;-)

Modelled for Elenas successful workshop in February in her beautiful flat. She is a fantastic photographer with bountiful knowledge in how to obtain professional quality photos using natural light and flash.

The workshop was really fun and relaxed- the photographers achieving brilliant shots.

She was also very hospitable to both photographers and models as well as being friendly and helpful to everyone- overall a great person to get along with.

I would highly recommend Elena as both a photographer and a teacher :)

Look forward to future shoots.

I attended another of Elena's networking events as a model, and once again had a blast. As always, she was excellent to work with. She is a true professional and takes great care to ensure that everyone comes away having made the day a success. There were some excellent costumes, props and headpieces provided by great designers Elena organised for the shoot.

Her professionalism, great personality and creative ideas always make Elena a great recommendation!

Elena Recently organised a Group Shoot with around 10 Models and around 15 Photographers. She also managed to organise Designers of Headpieces and Clothes to use for the day. The location was great for an outdoor shoot and I managed to get some proud shots. The day went smoothly and everyone was happy with the results achieved.

I really appreciated Elena's hard work to organise this and also to be a Great Positive and Bubbly Character :)

I would highly recommend Elena as a Photographer and also as a person to work with. I look forward to working with her again soon. x

I attended my first big group shoot, organised by Elena and I had an amazing time! everyone was really friendly, supportive, and I've already a sneaky peak at some of the images are they are great! Pre-shoot coms were brilliant, she is a wonderful woman and photographer and I couldn't recommend her enough. Definitely attending the next one. Thanks Elena! :)

I attended my first (and second) photography workshops in London after trusting the organizational skills of Elena and Maddy -- and both days were pretty successful! It was an education to meet new people, models and photographers at different levels in the professional scale, everything was casual and laid-back, and inspiring actually!

The dresses and headpieces were quite extraordinary, I can honestly say that everyone involved with the workshop(s) were helpful and friendly, suggesting ideas, and the resulting images are something I'm proud of!

I'm genuinely looking forward to the next event!

I attended my second group shoot hosted by Elena and her assistant Maddy, and found the event to be even more tightly organised and efficient than the first one! It's clear that Elena exhibits consummate professionalism and is also very considerate for the models and photographers involved. As it happened to be a rather cold day to start with, Elena took care that the models weren't exposed to the elements for too long and made sure they had regular breaks to avoid tiredness, keep warm and keep things fresh.

Designers were also involved in the project by supplying bespoke headpieces, dresses and other props for the models to wear and provide a certain look.

A special mention must be made of the way the event was rescued after two or three models had to drop out at the last minute, which was personally disappointing to me as I'd attended specifically to shoot them. Yet I was amazed at the calibre of the backup models that Elena quickly summoned, and all my disappointment just melted away.

Highly recommended!

A great person and photographer to work with. Very talented and inspiring! Very well organised group shoot I really enjoyed and hope there will be many to follow. Many thanks and keep with the amazing work Elena !!!

Elena is an amazing creature,I work with her on a daily basis and still am amazed at her creative side, I learned very much from her and still do,so I would not recommend her only as a photographer but as a teacher as well.

She's my first TOG and my first model,so I would recommend Elena with the utmost pleasure.

I'd been following Elena's work and activities for a long time, here and on Facebook, so when I heard she was organising a group shoot on Hampstead Heath I knew she'd be able to attract some fabulous models and that indeed proved the case - a lovely, relaxed, informal friendly shoot on a beautifully sunny February afternoon - her only problem on future shoots is probably going to be restricting photographer numbers! :)

Today was my first group photo shoot ever and was also the first time i met Elena. She is gorgeous and very talented and she has good skills for planning a photo shoot even if it was a social networking event but we ended up by having a very good time photo shooting . As a model Elena she is good too , she bring also props that we used them. I am looking forward for the next photo event. I defo recommend her...

After attending one of Elena's group shoots, I can say that the level of professionalism was second to none. From the start, Elena was kind, attentive and informative about the location and other details, as well as providing constant updates via social media so that any latecomers would be able to find us easily. There was a lovely and relaxed atmosphere around the actual shoot so that photographers could get the shots they wanted in their preferred settings.

The models were also lovely and agreeable to work with.

I highly recommend working with Elena. Things can only get better when she's around. :)

This is my third time working with Elena, and as always she is professional and a joy to work with. This time around, I attended a group shoot she organised with a great mix of photographers and models. Everyone she invited was extremely courteous, professional, and fun to work with. Elena was an extremely conscientious host, going to lengths to make sure we were all comfortable and also making small, but appreciated gestures like updating the group's location on Facebook so no one would get left behind.

Elena is always a pleasure to work with, and she is an excellent photographer with a great eye for potential shots that later turn out amazing - definitely snap her up if you get the chance!

Attended the first group shoot with Elena on Sunday..... As usual Elena's bubbly friendly personality and good eye for great places to shoot made it a very productive and enjoyable day... we were there pretty much from around 12:00 to 17:00 through the mud and cold...but no one noticed as it was fun...well we did afterwards... The entire group were friendly bunch and so I pretty much got to know everyone that turned up to the shoot... I took this as a reflection of Elena's character as she attracted a lovely mix of photographers and models....

She's easy to work with and fun to hang out with so if you haven't had the opportunity to shoot with her on any level... then you are missing out.
