I had an amazing shoot with Liene who is full of energy and fun. Liene is a true professional who has some great ideas and is able to pose at ease and can also able to take direction. We worked through several sets and laughed most of the time as her vitality is infectious and leaves you wanting more. I cannot wait to shoot with this fantastic girl and am already planning another shoot. I would very much recommend Liene to any photography that's wants to enhance their portfolio. A great shoot with a great girl, thank you Liene :)

had a wonderful 2nd shoot with Blackswann. She is a complete professional and always delivers on a shoot. I really love how much thought and prep she puts in before the shoot and just how much energy and enthusiasm she has on the day.

Once again it was a total joy to work with her and I hope we continue to work together in the future. Lovely on the outside and inside and once again a massive recommendation from me!

I spent a wonderful couple of hours in the company of Blackswann at her apartment. I say apartment but basically it's a fully functioning studio and a great space to work in.

We have been chatting for a while so it was great to finally meet her and shoot some pics. Blackswann is a lovely person, very friendly, helpful, full of ideas and has bags of energy. The two hours we spent together flew by so quickly and was enormous fun.

I would highly recommend her to any photographer she really is a little diamond and a complete pleasure to work with. Give her a shout you won't regret it.

Wow, Its time to write Lienes second reference and I’m still just overwhelmed by a glorious shoot. Yet again Liene put me in a spin with her endless energy, positivity and creativity. She took my ideas then fine tuned, polished, honed and covered them in sprinkles leaving me with some of my fave images. We covered a range of genres and each one was embraced with such enthusiasm that made the shoot electrically charged.

I can’t recommend Liene enough to you really experienced photographers and new photographers must book some time with Liene. Shooting with her will make you a better.

What a way to end the year! My first, hopefully of many, shoot with the awesome Blackswann!

We were thwarted in our original plans for a snowshoot as, in typical Liverpool weather fashion, the snow had all disappeared by the time we got to the location.

However, this didn't dampen her energy or enthusiasm and we headed back to her home studio in her apartment. This is a huge space, bigger than some studios I've been to! Here we shot a selection of sets including harnesses and thigh high boots, Harry Potter themed lingerie and some good old fashioned nudes. She seemed to have the knack of interpreting my ideas intuitively, while also bringing many of her own too and took each set to places I hadn't even imagined before we started :) On the very odd occasion it was needed she took direction well and we got some great results!

Her preshoot comms were perfect, 2 emails and the shoot was booked, no email tennis! And she was the perfect host, I even had some Latvian chocolate.

So now I have yet another reason for hoping the current lockdown doesn't last too long, I will get to shoot with Blackswann again!

In case the above wasn't clear enough, Blackswann is highly recommended by me!

Enjoyed our excellent first home shoot with Black swann. We had excellent pre shoot comms and we wasted no time creating some great images. I would strongly recommend and look forward to shooting again very soon. Thank you.

Well I’m not sure what else I can say that’s not already been said;

She was amazing as ever, totally driven to make sure the photographer gets the best pictures possible. Nothing was ever too much trouble to try. Give her a prop and has no issues coming up with great poses to incorporate it into a great picture.

Totally recommended and look forward to working with her again very soon !

My first shoot with the rather wonderful and talented Blackswann. Pre shoot communications were perfect as was the welcoming cuppa and chat.

Blackswann posed with ease, oozed class and looks stunning. She moved through our various set scenarios with enthusiasm and the sense of fun required, adding her own ideas and contributing tremendously to the artistic process.

A beautiful model, wonderful young lady and destined to be regular collaborator for many years to come. Highly recommended.

Today I was very fortunate to have shot with the lovely and amazing BlackSwan. It was an absolute pleasure working with this young lady – pre-comm.’s were spot on. We used her studio flat, where she met me and had arranged all the outfits we’d discussed.

She was warm, welcoming and a true pleasure to shoot. I can’t remember the time flying so fast – the number of great shots we got were brilliant.

I would 100% recommend this model for any beginner or experienced photographer – be warned she has a wicked sense of humour and a smile that just melts your heart.

I simply cant wait for many more shoots.

Just had my first shoot with this fireball! What can I say about this amazing woman?! She is amenable, punctual, keen as mustard, funny, witty, personable and pumped!

So energetic! She tired me out! A wonderful experience. Pre-comms were excellent. She arrived on time and brought with her ideas and a great range of poses and expressions. An absolute professional. She was a real trooper, putting up with my odd ideas and the cold November location shoot! I'd love to work with her again and of course I'd highly recommend her. A huge thank you.. and we beat the rain! Yay! :-)

I have worked with Blackswann twice and there will be many more times to come!

She is so incredibly talented and so easy to work with, I had learnt so much from working with her that I was able to implement it in my own work. A true professional and such fun to be around! I cannot wait to work with her again :)

Thank you my Model Partner! ♥

I had the pleasure of working with Blackswann again at the Woolton Hall Networking event organised by John Ayliffe. Fab model with boundless enthuasiasm and energy. Great posing and outfits. Never disappoints. Very highly recommended.

I met Liene at a Woolton hall event. It was my first time here and she was the first I worked with here. Really put me at ease but also she is so experimental and vibrant.

I had seen her work with other photographers on here before meeting her plus she was recommended to me at another shoot I was at. I am really excited to finish working on the shots and share them with her as her style is totally new to me which is perfect.

Thank you for making me feel so welcome on the day

Having been to Woolton a number of times, this week was the first time I've shot with her, and needless to say she lived up to her name.

To compliment other references Blackswan has enthusiasm and soul by the bucket load as well as bringing her own ideas to the shoot.

Our shoot consisted of a couple of sets, starting with a shoot outside in which she expressed an idea about some nearby foliage creating some great shadow patterns to work with... the resulting shots were art.

Secondly we moved inside to shoot against a backdrop in an environment with controlled lighting, after each drop of the shutter Blackswan moved into alternative positions one after the other, each one more expressive than the last.

I'd highly recommend shooting with Blackswam because of her energy, expressive nature and desire to create, and I would certainly shoot with her again.

We were shooting at her apartment and there is a huge amount of space, nearly as huge as the young ladies boundless enthusiasham, energy and commitment to the shoot

We were working off a mood board submitted prior to the shoot and Liene hads prepared well and planned all the senerios out to fit in with the time we had agreed

Liene has limitless energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to achieving the best images and never falters or seems to wind down

Superb Coffee, Tea with Honey, sandwiches and sweet snacks really hard to put down, appeared at various times during the shoot :-)

Liene is an unstoppable creative ball of energy and the happiness to be involved in your project is invigorating and a breath of fresh air, pushing you as a photographer to achieve images worthy of Lienes efforts.

Liene is 100% superb with;
