Adam Barker - Video Ink

' We at Video Ink decided to use Collette to star as the main role within one of our latest productions. Stepping up to the plate - she excelled marvellously showing that she is multi-skilled and that she can adapt to moving image perfectly. Brilliant performance!'

Hayley Sharman - Designer:

' Collette was an absolute pleasure to work with and has a fantastic and versatile look that gave a whole new look to my work. She is excellent at coming up with poses to suit the outfit and knows what needs to be done to get great shots. Polite and professional but really down to earth and just a genuinely lovely person to talk too. 
I would highly recommend Collette to any designers out there and would love to work with her again. xxx'

Wayne Avanson - The Action House:

'When you have a busy shoot ahead, lots of people involved and lots to get through in a vey short time, then having someone who is focussed and enthusiastic to work with is just the best thing ever. Collette proved to be just that person on a recent music video shoot and I'm thankful, not only for her professionalism, but for the stunning performance and great looks she brought to the shoot!'

Claire Letwich Winchester - Prong Jewellery:

'When we at Prong Jewellery heard and saw the latest Bizarre Vixens winner wearing our jewellery we were thrilled - and then dead excited about getting to work with the lady herself! Collette is a pleasure to do business with - polite, punctual and 100% reliable, and when your sending of £100's of pounds of jewellery, that really counts for a lot!
Thank you for the wonderful pictures, and I look forward to working with you again in the very near future!'

Sharon Holloway - Vintage Hair Lounge:

'When you can't wait to work with someone again, that's the biggest compliment you can give! I loved collaborating with Collette on a Cabaret inspired shoot with Scott Chalmers in Southampton recently, our ideas and their implementation were a perfect fit. Creativity starts in the mind, which is exactly why Collette is so exciting and inspiring to work with, because I loved the way her mind works! And the end result was phenomenal.'

Avatar Photography:

'I have much admiration for Collette due to her commitment, patients & hard work which she brings to each shoot; you will never be short of Ideas and Collette achieves the shot with very little direction. I have been lucky enough... to have worked with Collette on more than one occasion and hopefully will continue to on many more projects in the future.
Highly recommended ^__^'

John McIntire Photography:

'I had the immense pleasure of working with Collette the other week. The only way to describe the experience and Collette herself is: wonderful! She's hugely energetic, ridiculously excitable, open to blind experimentation and all over the epitome of professional! She also may be a bit crazy, but only a little bit and in the good way! Add to all that, she's absolutely gorgeous with a entirely unique look and personality, which she uses in full effect whilst creating images, you have here a model you should kill to work with!'

Kestrel:

'Collette is everything you'd hope for in a model. She was over here in North Wales this weekend and I can't recommend her highly enough. Extremely versatile, hard working, imaginative/creative and and a total pleasure to work with. And there's a wicked sense of humour in there too. Collette will definitely be welcome back here again and I suspect she's already plotting ideas in readiness for her next visit. Thanks Collette.'

Chris Horgan @Mister Digital:

'I had a great shoot with Collette yesterday. Prior to the shoot, comms were good and ideas clearly communicated.
At the start of the shoot, the shoot plan was confirmed and Collette worked really hard throughout to get the desired results. She was so easy to work with, very professional and I was really impressed with her ability to convey expression and emotion through her wide range of facial expressions.
I would recommend Collette to anyone and I am looking forward to working with her again soon.

Dan Archer:
'
Collette is a human chameleon, easy adapts to an look or role required. After weeks of idea swapping and correspondence, we met for a long studio shoot covering many very different styles and looks. Collette worked tirelessly with good humour, never complained once even when stood, soaking wet, shivering (skin did have a blue tinge) and having water thrown over her. Was a delight to work with her and so impressed with the results, I am looking for another shoot to expand on some of the ideas. Very highly recommended.'

Will Hawkins @Lair Girls:

'Fantastic Model, really enjoyed our shoot which Collette stepped in to at the last moment and made it a great photo shoot, being well prepared and highly professional. If you haven't worked with her before I highly recommend you do and if you have worked with her, book her again!'

Graven Image:

'Multi-talented and a great model. Has lots of ideas, and has an endless repertoire of 'faces' and 'moods'. Collette is on time and prepared to work hard up to the last second, though there is always a sense of fun If you need a truly awesome model, I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Collette.'

Jez Sheard:

'Fantastic model to work with, Collette cannot be faulted. Punctual and prepared she brings her own ideas to the table and takes direction brilliantly, and is a good laugh and a pleasure to shoot with. We are already working on plans for our second shoot and would recommend anyone and everyone to work with Collette :)'

Rae Hill @Eye of Rae:

'A real 5 star lady with fantastic ideas, able to take direction and go with the the flow just as easily. I found her very versatile and passionate about her craft. Friendly and outgoing, we were able to get some amazing shots on the two occasions we have worked together, very much looking forward to our next shoot, the kind of model that helps you hone your own skills, willing to keep going till you get that perfect shot! Not just a pretty face :D

Henry Artist:

'Collette is an AMAZING model who is able to adapt to the needs of any shoot. She was certainly able to keep up with all the lunacy and changes in direction on today's Steam-punk shoot.She is professional, creative, and lots of fun to work with. I will definitely be working with her again and can happily recommend her to any togs who want a first-rate model on their shoots who can act and get into character as well as looking stunningly beautiful.'

Daniel Wheels @Wheels Photography:

'I had the distinct pleasure of Collette gracing my home and studio today. She is uber talented, knock-out gorgeous and a true delight to work with. The images we shot together are already amongst my fondest of memories and the shrine to the Goddess has now been erected.
Long live Von Tora!!
Anyone looking for a model who acts as well as... she poses, gets into character at the drop of a hat, is intimately aware of her angles, more than capable of directing herself as well as taking direction, you really can't go wrong with this lady.
Thanks for all you do, Collette. xx'

HdM Photography:

'I worked with Collette on a shoot some models would probably shy away from as it doesn't show them in a typically beautiful way. From the outset of the project Collette was enthusiastic and completely embraced the ideas, as well as researched her own take on it. Working with Collette she was more than happy to take direction as well as work on her own poses and seemed to know instinctively what would look great on camera. Am looking forward to working with her again and would recommend her to anyone!'

Black Orchard Photography:

'I had the pleasure of working with Collette for the first time on a J-Horror themed shoot and I loved every minute of it!! The communication before the shoot was excellent and Collette was very well prepared. She was 100% professional in her skills and attitude and I would highly recommend Collette as a talented and versatile model who is able to turn her hand to any style!! I am positive I'll be working with Collette again VERY soon!! :)'

Richard Lund:

'Had an absolutely fantastic day with Collette Saturday 10th April 2010.
We had decided beforehand the general theme for the shoot and Collette arrived with great outfits and ideas too !
She has an ability to produce very different looks and this helps to bring great variety to a shoot.
I will definitely work with Collette again. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.'

John Aldred:

'A fantastic girl to shoot with, great fun, good laugh, and has lightning fast reactions when the wind catches your soft-box! ;)
A true professional, and can break out of giggle fits and into a serious pose at the blink of an eye. Can't wait to work with her again, and I suggest you all do too!'

Andy Simon:

'I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Collette on 20/5/10 at Cherry Pop studios in Birmingham, I was the photographer for a product shoot for 'A Box of Burlesque'. Collette was a joy to work with, both relaxed and fun to work with, as well as remained professional at all times. She followed directions well with regards to poses and positions and was also keen to give her own input, I would heartily recommend working with Collette to anyone in the industry, and i hope to collaborate with her again soon!.'

'Collette modeled my products today for my new website and as i am a newbie in this area i was put at ease by her immediate interpretation of the products and her ability it portray the differing looks required for the clothes...not to mention the fact that she looked stunning too!! she is a born natural and a very intuitive model...id hire her again in a second, and probably will!!!'
