Now I should imagine that everyone who has ever read this blog knows that I have shot with Holly quite a few times, and has seen quite a few images of her on this blog. In fact some people may think there are so many images of her that they begin to wonder whether they have strayed onto her blog by accident :)
Well I make no apologies for the number of images of her, because I only post images that are successful or that are good and that I like, and with Holly most images of her fall into one or more often both of those categories. So I thought it worth doing a post explaining the prevalence of pictures of her
In the last 10 days I have received 5 awards from international exhibitions for images that I created with her. This is no mean feat, as this time last year my target for this year was to gain my first award from such exhibitions, just one and I would have been happy – so far this year the number of awards from images created with Holly are well into double figures.
Note that I said ‘created with her’ rather than ‘took by me’, as Holly is the type of model who doesn’t just stand there posing – although she will if that is what you ask – but she will make suggestions, come up with ideas, help my idea-making process, she will basically do her level best to make sure we get good images. She is just such a flexible model – physically and creatively :)
So here are the latest award winners:

| Reflection In Red Bronze Medal – Malta 2011 Ribbon – Lescovak 2011 |

| Simply Red Bronze Medal – Malta 2011 |

| Sunflower Ribbon – Premfoto 2011 |
Now I’m not trying to put Holly onto a pedestal as there are many other great models out there, and maybe I have just been lucky with the phenomenal success I have had with images created with her. She is after all just a down to earth, well-balanced, very nice person, who just happens to produce magic in front of my camera.
So if you’re a photographer and you haven’t worked with Holly I suggest you book her as soon as you can. Thanks Holly and I look forward to our next shoot.
