I had the opportunity of working with Illy during her studio day at Pathway Studios yesterday; this was our first shoot together and what a fun filled, crazily awesome adventure it was! Her enthusiasm hits you like a freight train from the moment you step into the studio to the time to bid adieu's and it just lifts the whole ambience on set, like an explosion of positivity. Very can-do, true Northern no frills, no fuss spirit. Illy takes on board the ideas behind a theme of a set and runs with it and develops them with her own suggestions and spin on the idea and you can't help but capture awesome results.

The two hours flew by and from the results we've seen so far, we both came away happy with the images from the session too and certainly/hopefully this won't be the only time we stand either side of a camera lens together.

Here's to the next shoot :)

What can i say that hasnt already been said, Illy is a star, posses freely with ease. I finally got to shoot with Illy for the second time and like the 1st time she never failed to impress. I got some amazing images, i am sure this will not be the last time with Illy, a truly amazing model.

Had my first shoot with Illy on Saturday. What an amazing model, tall, incredibly flexible and with a skin texture so good it needs no Photo Shopping! and with a comprehensive set of clothing.

The outstanding thing is her posing ability. Give Black Beauty an idea, and she effortlessly moves from one pose to the next based on the given theme. She certainly knows how to make the best use of her incredible figure, and with confidence. That flexibility!!

Illy is a fun, lively, friendly young lady and great to be with. A chatty model, that helps break down barriers, but is quiet and focused whilst actually shooting, AND she moved the props round for me. Never had that!!

Sad to have left her, so until next time ...... A model well, well recommended.

As Illy said when she arrived its been such a long time since we last worked together and it was so nice to meet up to work together again after such a long time. She is stunning, great figure and looks outstanding on the image sets that we created at the Hotel. Its always fun to work with her as she makes a shoot more of a catch up, fun event and I cannot be not blown away by the way in which she can come up with some superb poses. Hundreds of images later we finished the shoot and had time for a final chat before she was heading home. The shoot was fantastic from beginning to end and I look forward to working with her again in the not too distant future, she is highly recommended by me.

I did a home shoot with BlackBeauty and as someone who is very much new to this kind of shoot I was made to feel very comfortable. We created some good imagery using various parts of BlackBeauties home and would highly recommend BlackBeauty to anyone considering this type of shoot.

My first shoot with BlackBeauty at the Keranda Studio in East Winch. The first hour was a story idea against a “meadow” background, with me explaining my ideas and Illy translating them into great poses. The second hour consisted of Illy showing how good she is with her posing ideas, while I clicked away. A really enjoyable experience overall. Definitely would work with BlackBeauty again. Thumbs up.

Always a pleasure to welcome Black Beauty to Keranda Studio.

Not a lot of people know that Tina Turner dedicated a song to B B.

PM me anyone who does not know the lyric.

Already looking forward to the next visit.

My first studio shoot for 18 months and I couldn't have had a better model for it. I hadn't seen Illy for some years but she was still the same delightful person. Full of energy and life , very down to earth with a fantastic personality. She is the ultimate pose machine but also happy to take direction , oh and the longest legs I've ever seen.

Very happy with the results we achieved and looking forward to shooting with her again soon.

Highly recommended without question.

Today I had the pleasure of Shooting Boudoir with Illyana aka @black_beauty, I had an absolutely brilliant time and I came away with a great set of sellable images. I couldn't fault Illyana she was professional, intelligent, charming and funny and very helpful during the shoot. A delight to work with.

Finally got the chance to work with Illy and she was certainly worth the wait.

Flawless poses, great outfits, and overall so much fun to work with.

I feel like I've barely scratched the surface with her so I'll certainly look to book her again one day.

My shoot with Illy was part of her day in the area, it was arranged quickly with little fuss. The shoot it itself was straightforward with Illy posing with little direction reeling pose after pose, resulting in many great images. A big thumbs up from me.

My first shoot with Illy, and it was really productive.

Pre-shoot comms were great, and Illy arrived with a bagfull of outfits.

We covered a number of styles, ranging across fine art pinhole, Hollywood Glamour, and lingerie. Illy was brilliant, and adapted to each brief with creative poses.

Illy's lovely to work with, thoroughly professional, and asked the right questions - and made constructive suggestions - as we went along.

Illy's an absolute delight. I'm so glad I booked her, and I hope we'll work together again in the future.

Thoroughly recommended.

It was a pleasure to work with Illy for the first time earlier in the year.

Illy is a very energetic model, and great fun to work with. In addition she is very professional, and works tirelessly to achieve the shots you are looking for.

We were trying for a tropical island theme, in the UK. The weather was far from ideal but with illy,s help we got many great shots.

I would totally recommend working with Illy, and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Many thanks to Illy for a brilliant days shooting.

Best Wishes Martin.

Had another excellent and enjoyable three hour shoot with Illy at Sandon studio. Illy is a veritable pose machine who provides the photographer with a huge range of shapes, looks and styles. We used a number of sets and worked both indoors and outside. I have emerged with some stunning images and I’d recommend anyone who hasn’t yet shot with Illy to book her - the experience would be guaranteed to be fun, memorable and rewarding! 😀

My last shoot 11 months ago was with Illy, First shoot of this year was with Illy again at her studio day in Stoke.

Cannot fault her, excellent posing, chatty, great fun to work with, which made for a relaxed shoot and I'm pleased with the results, shame it was the last shoot of the day as I could easily have shot for several hours more.

Looking forward to working with her again in the future and would highly recommend her to other photographers

I have had the great pleasure of photographing Illy a number of times now, this time we photographed at The X Factory Stoke on Trent. Illy is a wonderful model and really charming!

She loves photography – you can just tell this at every stage.

I look forward to working with Illy again, highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with the amazing blackbeauty. Such an incredible young lady to work with we had a four hour shoot at her studio day in the x factory and I loved every minute of it.

Blackbeauty’s posing was absolutely flawless and created so many shapes throughout the shoot and the energy she has meant the shoot was non stop.

Super friendly and a true professional this is one model who should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Highly recommended

It was a great pleasure to work with Illy again this time at DaveEds pop up studio.

Illy is a posing machine and flows from one amazing pose to the next.

She is always great fun to work with and she has a wicked sense of humor.

Illy is the real deal.

Book her now.

Many thanks for an amazing day.

Another wonderful shoot with Illy, we've worked together quite a few times over the past few years and all of our shoots have been amazing. Illy is an incredible model, an absolute delight to work with, great fun, hard working, beautiful, unbelievably flexible, and an absolute posing machine. Never a dull moment and the images are fabulous. I could go on but I'd only be repeating what I've said before, and what all her other references say. The lady is brilliant, I can't recommend her highly enough and am already looking forward to our next shoot together.

Don't hesitate, book a shoot with her now. You'll be very glad that you did.

Thanks again Illy, you're a superstar. xx
