I had the 2nd opportunity to work with Erica.This time was her dance event that was hosted in the PGD studio.

There is no words to discribe how well organised the event was and I was very happy to be part of that superb art workshop/event.

I hope that I will have another chance to work with Erica soon in the nearest future.

Thank you very much :)

My ?third? shoot with Erica (& this time Jarrod Mc Williams too) as a group shoot. As before, Erica is a pleasure to work with and one day my pictures will do her skills justice. A lovely person, highly skilled and a real pleasure to work with.

Today I had the opportunity to work with Ballerina Erica Mulkern for the first time.

I attended her Ballet photoshoot at PGD photography in Leicester, I would have to say this was one of the best events I have attended.

The shoot was very professionally managed both during and prior to the event, the scope was well defined and well communicated.

On the day of the event both the models and studio support were excellent, working through three themes and 9 sets with ease.

Erica is a highly talented lady having key inputs into the themes as well as modelling professionally.

A highly sociable host, she ensured all participants had the opportunity to obtain high quality images.

This young lady comes highly recommended and I would advise any photographer to take the opportunity to work with this talented lady.

Very Highly Recommended,

This was a session at Erica’s duo dance event at the PGD studios in Leicester where I was able to join for a morning session.  The pre- shoot communications were excellent giving details of the various sets that would be used during the photo shoot. In the morning session I was able to work with three different sets with Erica and Jarrod who is a dancer with the Rambert in London.  The organisation was perfect with each photographer given two short individual slots per short session allowing plenty of scope to get the perfect picture. There were opportunities to capture pictures of the individual dancers and then with them together as a duo. Erica is a first-rate ballet dancer and can give classic and contemporary dance moves.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the photo shoot, it was very well organised, and I would certainly recommend these duo days to any photographer. I look forward to future shoots with Erica and recommend her most highly.

Thank you for a great shoot.

Finally managed to co-ordinate the diaries with Erica to join her on small group shoot at PGD Modelling and Photography Studios. I decided to make the most of it and join her for both morning and afternoon sessions on 15th April 2023.

It was very well organised and a lot of thought had gone into shoot with herself & Jarrod with plenty of superb costumes and props for the themes involved.

A hard working dedicated individual with fantastic communications prior to the shoot as well. I am still working through the images shot on the day but am thrilled with the results and cant wait to work with Erica again in the future

It was a pleasure to attend Erica's dance photography workshop at PGD Studios in Leicester. This is the fourth time I have photographed Erica, and as always we had a very enjoyable and creative photoshoot.

Communications prior to the event were excellent and, as always, everything was extremely well-organised and professionally run. Erica was joined by dancer Jarrod McWilliams and we worked through several set-ups with the dancers posing individually and as a pair, covering both classical ballet and contemporary dance (and also a Peaky Blinders-inspired fashion/portrait set).

There was a great atmosphere throughout the photoshoot and everything was well-communicated and co-ordinated throughout the event. I was delighted with the variety and quality of the images that I obtained, and look forward to working with Erica once again later in the summer.

My third shoot with Erica and was as enjoyable as the first two. This was a duo day with Jarrod McWilliams from Ballet Rambert and Erica had again produced a timetable so that everyone knew exactly what was expected. There was a good mixture of styles and both Erica and Jarrod were very happy to pose with and without direction. Erica is a delight to work with and is someone I will always recommend. Thank you Erica for a very enjoyable shoot.

Well another event with Erica in the bag.

We have worked together a few times but on this occasion Erica put together her own workshop and together we hosted a full weekend of dance workshops. We achieved some fantastic results.

The precoms with Erica where well organised and I knew who and what to expect on the day. With such well laid plans I was able to create several unique lighting setups for each of the sets giving the attendees a chance to create a multitude of different looks.

Erica comes highly recommended from us here at PGD and if haven't shot with her yet then its about time to get yourself booked!

I had my third shoot wit Erica at the PGD studio in Leicester working with a male dancer she had never worked with before they were great giving 100% effort all-day regularly checking and asking if we were getting, the image we wanted the event was well organised and run. Top marks to her male partner Jarrod and Garys lighting set ups.

Well where to I start ….. yes I here you say at the beginning…..

I had a very short first shoot with Erica well before lock down and it was never long enough to really be able to capture Eric’s truly amazing talents.

Today we spent eight hours together and had an amazing shoot. This amount of time allows me to not be rushed and shoot 300 images in two hours. The time allows us to be able to look at ever shot discuss if we are happy and to be able to move on with confidence, and that is well worth spending the time to capture when you are presented with a phenomenal depth of talent like Erica has. What also makes these shoots so exceptional is the amount of diverse outfits Erica has …. I have worked with many dancers and the have very few outfits as they belong to companies where all the outfits are provided. This allows you to capture a lot more diverse images.

I will certainly be pinching myself for a long time to come as what we captured today will stay with me forever and be printed and put on my walls at home as these are my most amongst my favourite images I have ever captured.

A massive thank you to Aura Studios for having us both today and allowing us the space and opportunity to use your amazing space to capture such exciting images.

Well as you might have guessed I will be highly recommending Erica and Aura Studio to anyone who has a camera. Many thanks to you both.

One of the greatest joys in my life is setting off for a shoot with Erica. Her comms are excellent and the outfits beyond compare :-) Added to which Erica is a such a talented dancer and model to spend a few hours with. She is immensely intuitive and creative; oh and her makeup is also outstanding. We shot at the Boardroom yesterday and were helped hugely by Phil, without whom the day wouldn't have flowed so smoothly. We have more shoots booked and I can't wait to work with her again and to share some of the fabulous images from this shoot in the meantime. Thank you so much Erica :-) :-)

Had a lovely day shooting with Erica.

She was very helpful and patient, and discussed various ways and timings for shooting the dance moves. The outfits she wore were amazing and she is very professional and competent in what she does.

I would recommend working withErica and hopefully will do so again soon.

Erica is a brilliant model and a lovely person.

She is both interesting to talk to and interested in getting you excellent shots.

Being a trained ballerina, her ability to make and hold ballerina poses was amazing.

How she can kick her legs that high and not do herself a mischief is incomprehensible.

She was patient and understanding while the lights were being adjusted.

She never disappeared off the set for reasons unknown and changed between costumes quickly.

She worked hard all day and never seemed to tire.

I would like to shoot with her again.

Very pleased to get the chance to work with the charming and super talented Erica on her studio session at f8.

Superb in choice of costumes, superb in quality and choice of dance routines, a superbly elegant and fun lady.

More than pleased with the quality and variety of image options on the day. Erica worked super hard all day for us and maintained an unbelievable great smile and sense of fun.

Highly recommended and look forward to working with her again.

My second shoot with Erica was extremely enjoyable. She brought several superb costumes with her and was happy to take direction and also pose independently. Erica is very easy to get on with, and has a good sense of humour, so the shoot seemed to go very quickly and I am delighted with getting a large number of superb images, so I am spoilt for choice. I am looking forward to my next shoot with her in a couple of weeks, and also several more shoots organised by Tabitha Boydell when I will be able to work with Erica again. I cannot recommend her too highly.

I had my very first shoot with the naturally talented and gorgeous Erica at The Pavillion Studios, Edingburgh and was blown away by her sheer artistry. I have planned other shoots with her and highly recommend her. You'll find her extremely pleasant, creative and a joy to work with.

Finally met this delightful lady for a ballerina style shoot. It was both educational as well as fun. I now know where ballet was established! Erica survived my "patter" and we chatted throughout shoot. With Erica's help and input we got through several costumes and ballet moves I particularly wanted. Cannot reccomend this lady enough.

This was my first time working with Erica, she is an absolute delight to work with. Super professional and not only has an excellent range of outfits to shoot in she can deliver some exceptional poses / movements / jumps.

Really good fun to work with, clear communication and provided really good inputs to make sure I was getting the best images possible.

I am looking forward to her return to Scotland and would highly recommend anyone looking for dance images to try and work with her.

I had the pleasure of shooting with Erica at her studio day hosted by Pavillion Studio.

First class professional.

I had the first slot of the day and Erica had make-up and hair done ready to start when I arrived.

Vast wardrobe of outfits to choose from.

Pose after pose - beautiful and elegant.

Lovely personality and so patient when I was having camera issues.

I have already booked Erica when she visits Scotland again later in the year.
