I worked with BlackSwann for the first time as a photographer but had known her for awhile during my experience as a model. Never had as much time to work with her properly until now so jumped at the chance whilst at a networking event. She is truly a great example of what a true model should be ; full of energy & character, super friendly and easy to chat to, and all round a wonderful model. Responds well to direction when needed and has a great creative spark! If you're considering booking a shoot, please do. I guarantee you'll come away with great shots and plenty of smiles. Really pleased with the outcome of our work in such a short time, thank you again :)

Another great shoot with this fab model at Tank space studio where she gave her all.

To add to the list of Blackswann's already many talents, can now be added Underwater model and mermaid.

We returned to the brilliant @TankSpace studio, and after a few words of advice from the studio manager, Blackswann took to the water....not like a duck, but a fully fledged Swann!....sorry for the pun. :/

Seriously though, once again, Blackswann proved herself an incredibly versatile model, totally dedicated to her art.

I cannot recommend her highly enough!

I had another wonderful shoot with Blackswann at Splashpoint studio in Rhyl, we have worked together on numerous occasions and Blackswann always delivers, she is constantly bursting with ideas and works extremely hard to bring our ideas together.

Blackswann is a very genuine lady and she goes out of her way to help, promote and support less experienced models.

Over the last two or three years we have developed a genuine friendship and we are working together to develop our professional interests into creating events that will enhance the photographic and modelling experience.

It may be no surprise that I can 100% recommend Blackswann.

Splash Point Photo Studio

As always, and despite a headache, Blackswann was a big olde ball of energy and ideas. She's mad as a box of frogs but with a contagious enthusiasm. The hardest part I imagine is keeping up with her, but you'll certainly have plenty of weird and wonderful ideas flowing.

When I met Blackswan we hit it off in an instance, I knew she was a very special soul from the moment we started talking. I genuinely have the highest respect and love for this incredible, beautiful lady! Not only is she one of the best in the business but she’s also one of the most loyal, caring people I’ve ever met. I feel honoured to now call her my friend ❤️

This amazing superwoman hosted a creative support event (how awesome is she) so many people want to drag each other down but blackswan is there creating a supportive team for models to help and support each other which is how this industry should be! The hard work that blackswan put into making this event a reality blew me away. welcomed to her lovely home and made to feel loved and appreciated, we shared ideas, outfits, created some amazing things ready for our upcoming events (keep your eyes peeled) ate pizza had lots of laughs and so much fun! The best time I’ve had in the longest time. She worked tirelessly all day to support everyone and make sure everyone was happy. I admire blackswan so having her around is such a privilege! I mean have you seen how truly talented this lady is?! She has us all speechless with her elegant poses… like wow 🤩 I hope to be as good as blackswan with my modelling in the future. I’ve learnt so much and gained a true friend. I can not wait for this years adventures with blackswan.

Seriously if you haven’t booked her yet… hurry hurry, before she’s booked up!

Thanks so much for everything. ❤️❤️

Wow! what can I say BlackSwann is beautiful inside and out she is an amazing model and is so talented. I first met BlackSwann at a farm shoot and as soon as I met her I could not believe how alike we where. When BlackSwann said that she was putting a networking event on I thought what an amazing opportunity to meet with models and photographers and learn from one another.

I am so excited to be part of this amazing network with amazing models and photographers.

BlackSwann is a fantastic model and highly recommended this wonderful lady ❤️

I feel very lucky to have been invited to a new networking event kindly hosted by Blackswan. The first time I spoke to her we were on the phone for over an hour, she is kind hearted, supportive and full of enthusiasm. Blackswan absolutely comes alive in front of the camera throwing effortless, creative, elegant poses. I felt honoured to stand back, watch and learn.

I highly recommend her to all photographers you will be blown away by her energy, poise and creativity.

High five! We nailed it... again!

What can I say? Liene arrived bang on time, with bags full of ideas and enthusiasm. Chatty, friendly, warm and bubbly, Liene makes my job easy and when she's in front of the lens, the pictures just make themselves.

I can't wait to work with her again on one of many projects, this year.

A huge thank you to her. Highly recommended. See you soon. :-)

Hahaha... there's a reason that this woman has 286 references... she's fab!

She is happy; friendly; warm; bubbly; enthusiastic and exciting! Liene's work ethic is amazing!

Our punk/graffiti shoot started well with great comms. She arrived on time, with the offer of clothes; accessories and ideas. On site, our shoot quickly became organic, with Liene adopting a never-ending stream of flow-poses, each better than the last. Time flew and we could have chatted and worked all day.

It was only our 2nd shoot together but there will definitely be more!

She is a diamond, who I'd love to keep a secret but the public deserve to see more of her.

If you are in need of a professional model, who won't let you down, then Liene is the one!

Thank you very much, for a fab time. See you next time, with some more wild and wacky ideas! :-)

Despite numerous failures of my equipment Blackswann remained cheerful and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble, posing was natural and required little or no direction and ideas flowed naturally from her. All this was a great help to me as amateur with limited experience. I wanted to experiment with different lighting set ups and Blackswann was again very helpful with ideas and in setting up her very well equipped studio.

I can't speak highly enough of Blackswann and can't wait to try out some more ideas with her.

Another great shoot with Liene at her home studio. Communications with her are second to none and the shoot was booked with only one message either way.

On arrival everything was in place for me to assemble my lighting equipment and as I have come to expect she was ready to shoot.

I am always amazed at her enthusiasm, eagerness and the speed she works at to get the shoot going and continues throughout the shoot.

We had many different changes of outfits during the four hours all of which were excellent in every way. I have never managed to fulfil all I have set out to achieve in the time but there is always a next time.

Totally recommended to photographers and studios.

Many thanks Liene for a great and memorable shoot.

I have the fabulous opportunity to do a quick shoot with this talented and vibrant model! What a blast...

She engaged in all my crazy ideas and instantly owned them!

Must, must, must work with her again and would heartily recommend.

Another great shoot with Liene at the "On The Farm" charity shoot organized by Chris Barrall.

As always she was more than well prepared with a abundance of clothing, shoes and accessories. Due to the demand for Liene we only managed a small amount of shooting time.

Even after six hours of continuous posing she was still as enthusiastic as the first minute.

Many thanks Liene for another great and fun shoot.

Chris Barral

Here we are again.

Another event that I have been blessed to have BlackSwann attend = another positive reference :-)

This event saw BlackSwann give her talent, energy and passion freely to make monies towards the Alzheimer's Society.

Working with most if not all photographers in attendance @ Greenheys Farm, plus taking a couple of fab images too.

Keeping it simple, if you haven't worked with BlackSwann before please, please don't hesitate to book = you will be rewarded with a unique model.

Highly Recommended.

It would really take a book to do justice to Blackswann rather than a few lines in a reference. I recently had brief but very enjoyable shoots with Blackswann at a charity event at Greenheys farm, organised by Chris Barral. Blackswann brings so much more to a shoot than modelling, at which she is supremely talented and expressive. She is also incredibly creative and sees possibilities very quickly. Being a photographer herself she has a really good appreciation of what she want the image to look like. She is self critical too and analyses the back of camera images to see how she can improve her pose or expression. She is wonderfully charismatic, expressive, warm hearted and chatty. She is also very good at directing herself and other models. I'd never shot a trio of models before but Blackswann organised and directed everything, making it very easy for me. She has a great sense of humour too

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Blackswann and though we are geographically distant, I very much hope that it will be possible to work with her again soon. I highly recommend her.

I had the pleasure of working with Blackswann recently, and what a little dynamo she is, never still, full of ideas and open to suggestion,and immense pleasure to work with.

Our shoot was short due to the time schedule at this charity event, but we got some great shots, and i hope to work with Blackswann again soon.

Met Blackswann today at an event unfortunately We did not get to work with each other on this occasion we just chatted in between a change over, A nice model to talk to and hopefully we get to work together at some point.

I had the fantastic opportunity to have some time to shoot Liene at an event this afternoon, What an experience, she is an energetic, full speed ahead model, full of ideas and enthusiasm for her role, as well as being encouraging to a novice attendee. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Looking forward to having another shoot with sometime

I had the pleasure of working with Blackswann again recently at a charity event organised by Chris Barral

We shot a 3 model shoot that was very spontaneous and definitely different, but gave excellent images.

At the end of the day she still had the enthusiasm to throw herself into another crazy idea for a shoot, again Brilliant images obtained and I look forward to working with her again.

She's highly recommended by me
