References for Leon Lift

Creativity Hub Events

Leon attended our recent event 'The Aviary' and we are so thrilled he did.

The energy this man brings about is absolutely infectious! He really added to our diverse team of photographers and really brought something special to the day.

Leon works well with everyone, a genuine soul. Able to communicate well what he is looking for and also recognises when a model is in flow.

Leon has his own personal vision and style already which sets him apart. There were so many wonderful shots, I don't envy the task of choosing. I just know whatever the final result, it will be spectacular.

To have Leon back would be a real pleasure and would be absolutely welcome! We highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Thank you!

Just had a duo shoot with Leon Lift and Tillie Feather at the Loft Studio in Cochester.

I have shot with Tillie before but this is the first time I had shot with Leon. He produced excellent poses and worked without any difficulty to deliver to the shoot list. I am very happy with the excellent images.

The duo aspect was really marvellous and the two models work superbly together.

Leon is most highly recommended.

Tillie messaged me that she and Leon would be in Holland for a short trip and would be available for a shoot. Naturally I was very interested in working with this talented duo and immediately booked them. At the day I first picked them up from the airport and went straight to the studio I had booked in Vianen.

Upon arrival they needed no time to acclimatise but took up positions straight away. And what a wonderful duo they are, able to do some dramatic poses. Only when looking closely one could see that it takes quite some strength for Leon to hold Tillie in the requested positions.

I was also amazed to hear that the couple is learning how to add even more poses to their repertoire.

I'm very happy with the result and can recommend them fully.

Leon modelled for a small group workshop I gave at Aura. It was the second time I'd worked with him so I knew he'd be perfect for the job :)

Anyway.. he's professional, organised, patient, punctual and creative.

More importantly though, he made some inexperienced photographers feel really comfortable and enabled them to create some amazing images.

Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful shoot with Leon and partner Tillie last week. Amazing couple to work with, both pose and move beautifully with virtually no direction required. Their home studio set up was perfect for my needs and we got a rich variety of physique and emotionally charged pix. And i felt very relaxed in their company which made the shoot a breeze. Looking forward to the next shoot to explore more ideas.

Apertures

From first contact before shoot it was clear Leon would be great to work with. Excellent and very thoughtful communicator. Leon is a top class model who is an absolute breeze to work with. He is very experienced, and consistently showed great interest to produce fine results as per shoot plan, but also with a ready capacity to innovate and think out of the box. He came well prepared with his truly wonderful partner Tillie. The chemistry between them is beautiful to see. Certainly hope to shoot with this very professional and talented couple again. Leon will become a really successful photographer too (if he wanted to), my definite guess.

My first shoot involving a male model, Leon was with Tillie Feather in a variety of sets involving portraiture, some great lifts, sensual duo work and some classical dance moves. A most pleasant young man and very able model, Leon had prepared very well on what we had discussed pre-shoot and we got some great pictures. He is thoroughly recommended to other creatives. Many thanks Leon for a great booking

This shoot was a bit of a first for both Leon and myself. I usually shoot dance with ladies, but was looking to build a more inclusive portfolio, so arranged a session with Leon and Tillie Feather. Solo with both and duo.

Leon is a very fit athletic young man with a good "have a go" attitude. His posing skills are quite exceptional. I had some ideas of what I wanted and would build on those concepts. After some initial discussions to agree what we were going to attempt, off we went. Leon embraced the whole dance thing and we captured some brilliant images. Dance is both still and dynamic and Leon grasped both.

I would highly recommend Leon. he has great looks and modelling ability. He is also a charming young man that is a pleasure to work with.

Thanks for a great shoot and hope to work with you again soon.

Had the pleasure of working with Leon for a fashion and portrait shoot at a local site. Leon turned on time and ready to shoot in outfit we had previously discussed and was full of enthusiasm for the project we completed. Leon was a lovely bloke who chatted well both about the aims and techniques being employed as well as other topics both modeling and none industry related which helped us both ease into the shoot and for the time to pass in a very pleasant manor, I enjoyed working With Leon and intend to again. Great look, strong poses and very professional, cheers Leon.

My first shoot with the amiable Leon, together with his partner the delightful Tillie. I had the chance of working with Tillie and having seen their ports, I quickly enquired if Leon would also be available to make it a duo /shoot of them together. I felt it time to have another male model feature on my Port and Leon seemed to be an ideal candidate.

Leon is a handsome, well built young man who is relaxed and easy to work with. He and Tillie make an excelent duo together, creating both fine figurative shapes, and tender, more sensuous compositions. They are considerate and understand the issues of lighting and taking intimate pictures of a couple.

The shoot had a real collaborative, relaxed, free following atmosphere. It was great fun and, I think, productive thanks to their wonderful collabration. The shoot time just went far too quickly, still plenty more for another time.

I have absolutely no hestitation in recommending Leon. It is not easy for male models in this genre with so much attention on the female models, however whether as as a solo male model or a partner to a female model, Leon is an excelent choice.

I very much appreciate everything you both put into our shoot Leon, I hope someday we can continue where we left off.

He was really great to work with. Leon put enthusiasm into every shot right to the end and was a great laugh too. He is in great shape and definition - knows which poses suit him. Great both solo and in duos with his partner Tillie - they`re a really lovely couple. Plan to work with him again next month... what better reference can you leave?

It is very difficult for Male models, but if you want to work with one then make sure you contact Leon. I had arranged a duo shoot with Leon and his partner Tillie. What a treat to work with this couple. As a team, Leon and Tillie worked well together, producing excellent mirror and complementary poses. We also made sure to shoot some solo sets as well. Leon can create a fantastic variety of poses, including some great dynamic images. He has a strong look for solo shoots that also works particularly well alongside Tillie.

Meeting Leon for the first time today, I found him to have an easy relaxed character and we were very quickly exchanging ideas and working as a trio to make the most of the opportunities available to us. Leon arrived with a comprehensive range of outfits to cover any concept we could think to shoot.

Working with Leon is a brilliant, creative experience and a reminder of why shooting Male models should be a part of every photographer’s portfolio.

Leon spent a day and a half at the studio along with his partner Tillie to work with several groups of photographers we had in for the weekend.

He was great to work with. On time, well prepared and despite it being the end of a busy tour, Leon put his full energy and enthusiasm into every shot right to the end. He's also a nice guy to work with.

Leon is in great shape and really knows his poses, both solo and with Tillie (they work so well together!)

Every participant over the weekend was really happy and I've no doubt there will be some excellent images forthcoming very shortly.

Happy to recommend Leon to any photographer looking for a good male model.

Photographed Leon and her partner Tillie Feather on an organised group shoot during their tour to Ireland.

This was my first time working with a couple and being a group shoot I wasn't really sure what would happen. The final images are, to my eyes, beyond expectation.

Leon is very calm and polite, listens closely to what you're looking for and does the pose, also... he is a specimen of a man so you can not take a bad picture of him.

I recommend Leon Lift and double it if you choose to book him with Tillie Feather for a couple shoot.

This was my first shoot with Leon on his Irish tour with partner Tillie.

Leon was great to work with. He is full energy and enthusiasm and puts everything into every shot.

Leon is in great shape and knows his poses and worked hard to get the shots.

I found Leon to be a really nice guy and really relaxed throughout the day.

I look forward to working with you next time.

Happy to recommend Leon.

Lovely Leon! ;-P I turned up to a buddy's home studio to find Leon making porridge and adding protein powder to it from a HUGE tub of it and I found it funny that models are mad trying to pack clothes into a tiny suitcase but he still managed to bring his giant pot of powder with him, brilliant! Leon is so chilled out and easy to get along with.

he's a quite spoken lad that comes across as a gentleman. I've never shot a Male model so I was delighted to have the opportunity to get some experience with somebody with a perfectly balanced body physique. We tried gel work and it suited him! I loved the shots I got and I showed some of them off to the guys at work that work out in the Gym and they agreed he's got a nice bod! even if they are used to looking at half naked ladies. It was also great I got the chance to do a couple/due shoot with his partner Tillie which was also something new for me they work great together.

Leon mate! I enjoyed taking photos of you! I loved the gel stuff and I hope you got a pic or two you can add to your portfolio and I got some pics to show off to the ladies and my pervert wife who was eyeballing you! all the best ~B

Had a super day shooting with Tillie and Leon together at my home studio this week. They stopped here for a couple of nights on their Irish tour and shot with myself and Bullets for the day. Weather was not with us, so we decided to spend the day indoors and do some gel work to begin with. Great idea, as gels can be difficult to set up right, but we were able to take our time and got fantastic results. Both Leon and Tillie really work well together, and we got shots in duo and single throughout the day.

Highly recommend Leon, and duos with Tillie.

Leon is professional down to the last mm or inch!

He arrived on time, and prepared, with his partner Tillie. Was very enthusiastic about each shot. Worked just as hard at the end as he did at the beginning. He looks incredible! Even though he works really well with his partner Tillie, he would be a pleasure to work with on his own.

Recommended.

By the way, he is also very patient. It took a while for me to write up this reference!

Amazing. We had a fun time with many super images. Highly recommended.
