My shoot at Fine and DanDee Studios was my long-overdue second shoot with Maryna. having first worked with her back in Februray 2023.

I met Maryna at the station and she gave me a big smile which immediately made me feel relaxed and good about the upcoming shoot. I had also forgotten how tall Maryna is, :-) which is fantastic.

I must say Maryna's attention to detail in pre-comms is excellent. She provided me with images of all her outfits via DropBox and WeTransfer and so I was able to put together a detailed shooting schedule of outfits. On the day we kept quite close to the schedule but, because Maryna brought extra outfits with her we were able to vary things on the fly.

What I really appreciate about Maryna is her absolute professionalism. She hangs up all her outfits in the changing room to make it easier to choose what will look good; she changes quickly between sets; and every set is a rapid selection of fashion poses where she is very responsive to directions in terms of lighting and expression.

In the end we caned through about 8 or 9 sets and I really really appreciate how hard she worked.

All-in-all it was a fabulous afternoon which generated loads of great images.

Thanks Maryna for a great shoot. Totally recommended.

I booked Maryna for a four day photoevent in Scotland called a Scottish Faerietale for my Dreaming of Models events. I am so happy that she was one of the four wonderful models. She is incredibly hardworking, punctual, friendly and of course a beautiful and talented model. Before and during the shoot her communication was also perfect. I have no hessitancy in leaving her s positive reference.

Maryna has already been described on my Flickr account as ‘stunning’ and ‘incredibly beautiful’ and I have long been aware of both this and the fact that she is currently one of the most distinguished models working in the United Kingdom. When she came down to the south-west for studio days I saw the advertising and the images, but I was also aware that most of what she does is very different to most of what I do. Hence, the thought of asking her for a shoot never entered my head. That changed when she had a cancellation on a studio day and wrote to enquire whether I might consider filling the empty slot. I replied explaining why I do not work in studios but offering a shoot here. When she accepted and offered various dates I deliberately chose one about three weeks distant, because I needed time to think about what we were going to do. In the intervening time I bought some sunflowers, and there was very extensive communication, which eventually ranged beyond photography and into her great interest in English literature. She also said that she was willing to adapt herself to my style. In the event, she did this very successfully, and I had a strong sense of being with someone who is on my wavelength. If she would call herself a fashion model, I would call her an art model. Beyond that, plenty of people have commented on how easy she is to get on with and this is, of course, true: liberally interspersed with the artistic endeavour there was also a great deal of laughter. I certainly hope to work with her again, and no model could possibly be recommended more strongly.

So where to start

Maryna's trip to me was a nightmare trains were cancelled and journey time was extended.

When Maryna got to Poole I was there to pick her up and then back to the studio.

We had coffee and a chat, then we got started.

Maryna's communications were 100% before and during the shoot.

To say Maryna can pose would be a total understatement this lady is a posing machine.

The amount of changes that we did was down to how prepared Maryna was awesome.

I have wanted to work with Maryna ever since I first saw her on PP and now I am so glad I did.

What a model

recommended 100% get booking guys & girls she will not let you down...

This was my first shoot with Maryna today and it was excellent!

Maryna is just fabulous to work with, she arrived bang on time and ready to shoot with some great outfits. We were shooting some fashion type images on location and it was a bit cold, but Maryna was happy to keep shooting. Maryna is very chatty and easy to get on with, our shoot flew by.

I highly recommend working with Maryna and hope to again in the future.

Thanks Maryna for an excellent shoot!

Well what can I say? I have been watching Maryna for some time now and today I got to work with her.

Great pre-shoot coms enabling us to organise the shoot at short notice as is often my way, which can be awkward for some people but Maryna took it in her stride.

She turned out fully made up with a naturally beautiful look which incorporated some beautiful freckles.

When first organising the shoot, the weather was clear but it didn't stop raining until close to the end. Maryna was a real trooper and rose to the challenge. I have a camera full of beautiful images to prove her beauty, professionalism and dedication.

I have no hesitation in recommending this young lady. Maryna was a pleasure to work with, with a great sense of humour and endearing personality.

I had my first shoot with Maryna today. It was an absolute joy to work with Maryna. The constant rain and inclement weather did not fade Maryna at all. Super professional throughout the shoot but always smiling and joking in our down time. Brilliant shoot which enabled us to gain some great images.

Really lovely experience and highly recommended.

Thank you Maryna. I look forward to shooting with you again,

Chris.

How lovely it was to be able to join Maryna on a small group shoot today.

Just as I remember from our previous shoot a couple of years ago, Maryna was on time, enthusiastic, friendly and full of good natured chat.

She poses very naturally and with a flowing, graceful ease but is also able to take direction when needed.

Maryna brought with her a great variety of different outfits with which she was able to make a number of different looks to suit each photographer.

Her good-natured and modest professionalism makes Maryna a real joy to work with. So I must make an effort not to leave it so long before I shoot with her again.

100% recommended! :)

Well what can I say about Maryna…… Excellent communication, answers messages, great organisation and I believe we both knew exactly what we wanted from the event….. but it gets better…… the moment I met Maryna I knew she was going to be great to work with. Chatty, Friendly, Professional and the same passion to get great shots. She worked so well with all the other togs on the shoot and threw out the most amazing poses. She has the ability to both pose herself and take directions for ideas. She bought a great amount of outfit options and although professional throughout she had a laugh with us along the way. Can’t wait to work with her again and I highly recommend this young lady if you want a fab shoot.

Maryna,

We had a photoshoot with Maryna this week. What can I tell you :) She's amazing as a model and as a person. Maryna was very friendly and very professional. We were impressed with how easily she posed. The whole photo shoot went very smoothly. She had three sets of outfits ready and they fit in very well with the environment.(we didn't need a stylist for that) She was ready for a photo shoot. Maryna was easy to communicate with before and during the photo shoot. Thank you Maryna for a great job. We highly recommend her for your projects .

I facilitated a remote shoot for Maryna during her studio day at Art Asylum where she tethered to the Middle East with a photographer she hadn't worked with before. Maryna was incredibly friendly from the moment we met each other and was also freshly with the photographer.

They got along well and Maryna was happy to use the mood board we'd been provided, pulling one amazing pose after another.

She is not only a beautiful lady, but an incredible model and one you should definitely work with!

It was a pleasure to meet you! Highly recommended from me :)

Another great shoot with Maryna, this was at Art Asylum. This time we tried shooting some video clips in the natural light studio. We followed up with stills in the flash studio.

Maryna is a dream to work with, a great model. She brought some new outfits and we got through several different looks.

I always look forward to shooting with Maryna, and she never disappoints.

I can highly recommend Maryna.

Maryna replied to our casting, looking for models for group shoots. Initially I was worried that because our shoots are in the evenings and she would be travelling from and back to London, that we would struggle to organise anything. Maryna wasn't worried about travelling back Kate at night though, as long as I could get her to the station for the last train...in the end she organised a hotel and a shoot for the following day too.

Having followed her on here for a whole, we had no concerns about her experience or her ability to create wonderful shapes and styles. Even so, it was such a pleasure to watch her work with the 6 photographers on the shoot.

She has such a professional approach to shooting, posing freely and taking direction well when given. I took a couple of shots testing each of the lighting setups and even those are beautifully posed. The outfits we selected were spot on for the shoot and every one of the photographers got a stack of fabulous images.

Maryna is full of energy and fun, chatty and really easy to get along with. As a studio we would highly recommend her for individual and group shoots and can't wait to have her back with us again.

My Brother and I attended a group shoot with Maryna last week and also had previous comms with her over arranging a shoot. When we finally met, we were very impressed with her. She looks fantastic and is clearly very popular & getting lots of work. She is also very chilled-out, friendly, and easy to work with. Bruv & are both pleased with our images from the shoot. What’s not to like? If you get the chance to work with her, you won’t be disappointed.

Maryna is very friendly and professional model, with a great eye for how to make a photo look fantastic as well as make the photographer feel at ease. Maryna is a natural poses with ease and little direction is needed to get the perfect shot. She listens and intuitively knows when to change her pose even in the noisy streets of London which was a relief

She was punctual and on time and her communication was excellent.

100% recommend. And I hope to shoot again.

First shoot with Maryna and loved every minute of it

We had started planning the shoot back in January but it had taken almost 3 months for us to get schedules to align however during that time pre comms were excellent with maryna very helpfully sharing multiple links to outfits availble allowing me to pick from her extensive wardrobe.

Maryna was a joy to be around lovely personality and very friendly and just great to work with.

3 hour shoot at Neon dreams sped by with us doing loads of different sets and looks and some fun creative ones.

I really hope to be able to shoot with maryna again and would 100% recomend

CAROLYN LOVE

Highly recommend this amazing model!

Open to all my ideas, great energy, creative, totally understood the style I wanted!

Only problem is we created too many amazing images - impossible to choose the edits lol!!

Flawless and perfect for those looking for models with a more of a fashion edge too.

I had another fantastic shoot with Maryna! This time we shot at Neon Dreams Studio and we tried a variety of different looks.

Maryna is a great communicator and she always replies promptly and clearly to our pre-shoot messages, so it was really easy to arrange the shoot. Maryna sent me photos of lots of different outfits that she would have with her and I also chose a couple of additional ones from her portfolio.

Maryna is 100% reliable, so she arrived exactly on time with all the outfits I requested and a beaming smile on her face, even though she had been a bit under the weather recently.

When we got to Neon Dreams Studio, Tasha helped me with the set up and we had great fun playing around with all of the different props in the studio. Maryna has a wonderfully bubbly personality so we had a lot of laughs. As she's such an experienced professional model, Maryna was able to suggest lots of different poses and helped me with the lighting. So every shoot with Maryna is really a collaboration with a consummate professional at the very top of her game.

We got some great results, with a 1970s theme, an elegant evening wear theme, and a beachwear theme. The whole shoot was such good fun that 3 hours just didn’t seem like long enough and it was all over far too quickly.

I can’t wait to shoot with Maryna again, as it’s always such a pleasure, and it’s a privilege to shoot with one of the best models in the UK and mainland Europe.

I had another remote shoot with Maryna and again it went beautifully. Maryna is a joy to work with and we had great communication before the shoot and she gets back to me as soon as she can (considering we're 6 hrs apart, Chicago to the UK.) I really am so pleased that we started shooting together and will continue to do so. If anyone wants a wonderful model both to talk to and to shoot do yourself a favor and contact Maryna. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again Maryna.
