What a great workshop. Natasha’s studio is amazing and she really took the time to show me the basics as this was my first time with studio lighting. I’ve gained so much confidence just from that one day. We did so many different shoot styles and looks that I now have a small portfolio of professional looking pictures to start with too which is great – 10/10

I attended my group workshop with Natasha and I must say it was worth more than I paid for. Natasha is very graceful in her craft both as a Model and Tutor. She’s patient and willing to demonstrate the techniques in photography to get the best out of your images. She is also very engaging there was never a dull moment during the workshop. I recommend this workshop for anyone interested in Portrait, Glamour, Fine Art Nudes and Boudoir Photography.

We went to the workshop at Saracen House Studio, MK, and we highly recommend Natasha J Bella. She covered a lot of things in the time we had together, her posing flowed, seemingly endlessly, and was both elegant & graceful. She made sure that you gained the most from her workshop, being a top class model with photographic savvy, she gave us a unique insight into modelling from the model's perspective, invaluable to any people photographer. Whether you are a novice or a professional, with a bucket load of experience, you can only benefit from a day spent with Natasha.

Natasha organised an excellent day on 2/05 at Swindon’s Spitfire Studios. I was looking for a good days tuition on lighting and posing techniques. What I got was an excellent days tuition. Natasha was an excellent tutor guiding the attendees through four sessions from portraiture to boudoir. I would highly recommend this course, you will not be disappointed. I have attended several seminars and this is by far the best. Next time Natasha advertises it, miss it at your peril. I am looking forward to working with Natasha again if she can arrange a follow up studio day. Many thanks Natasha for a great day looking forward to working with you again in the future.

I attended the 1:2:1 tutorial with Natasha after reading and enjoying her recent photo book which is full of outstanding images and thought provoking poetry. My objective was to improve my technical knowledge of how to utilise various types of studio lighting to improve my ability to get more out of future studio based shoots. A prime motivation for me in selecting this particular course is that Natasha addresses the issue of creating the right collaborative environment between the photographer and model. With such a wealth of experience as a leading professional photographic model with large corporate clients and working with both professional and amateur photographers; Natasha has a wealth of wisdom to impart. Natasha is an outstanding communicator and the course material is well structured and delivered in a clear and concise manner. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole four hours and felt that it provided excellent value especially when you consider that it included the opportunity to work one to one with this outstanding model.

Attended one of Natasha's group tutorials covering four genres in five hours at her studio. Natasha gave a very helpful introductory PowerPoint presentation on how to achieve the best images with a model. We then moved on to shooting portrait, glamour, boudoir and art nude with different studio lighting set ups in her beautifully well-equipped studio. Natasha explained very clearly the studio lighting set up for each set and went into modelling mode for each set so very skillfully and I achieved with her stunning images which I'll enjoy selecting and editing the very best to upload onto PP. It was obvious each of us photographers found the workshop a fabulous experience. Natasha presented herself as a warmly welcoming friendly host, an excellent photographer tutor and a beautiful model all in one! The lunch was delicious too. Very highly recommended.

I participated in Natasha's group workshop in her home studio. First let me say it was a pleasure to work with her. She has tons of energy and is very knowledgeable about modelling and photography. Her studio is a great space and you can use many sets. I learned a good deal about lighting as well as editing photos. I highly recommend you work with Natasha and take her workshop. You won't be disappointed. I look forward to working with her again.

I did the 1-2-1 tutorial with Natasha a couple of days ago. My first time in a studio with a real model so I was a little apprehensive. The session was brilliant. Natasha really is stunning. She was very organised, very professional, very friendly, very patient and helpful. Nice atmosphere, very relaxed. I got a variety of great pictures and a retouching tutorial at the end. Refreshments and some sandwiches as well. She even sent me some retouched images as well. I would recommend Natasha to anyone no matter what your level of experience.
