I've worked with Ellie a few times now, and she's always been professional - great comms, and a clear plan - with a creative flair that always fits with the brief.

This was her first underwater shoot (with model Tetiana).

As well as her normal high standard of work, she also took really good care of the model (who wasn't feeling well for a while), and was willing to help out on the shoot.

I'm sure we'll work together again, and I can't recommend her enough.

Ellie is an outstanding MUA and Hair stylist. She is friendly and has a professional approach without making her models feel uncomfortable. She knows how to get the most out of a face! Her attention to every detail of make up application was perfect. She came on the shoot with me and was quick to respond if my hair fell out of place and to re-do my make up for a different look when it was required. I highly recommend Ellie :)

Ellie is an absolutely superb make up and hair artist, and is extremely talented in her field. When I arrived at her home she was courteous, kind and made everybody feel comfortable straight away. She is friendly and so easy to speak to, our collaboration on the photos was superb. Whilst taking the photos she was very mindful of the hair and make up of the model, making adjustments accordingly. As a photographer this was extremely helpful as we are often concentrating on the technical side of things, so it was lovely to have her support and her eye for detail. I would highly recommend Ellie to any photographers or models for photo shoot, she's amazing and I can't wait to work with her again!

Ellie asked me to work as the photographer on her Final Major Project for her degree in Specialist Hair and Media Makeup. I have to say it was a privilege to be part of the whole 'Oil of Angels' theme, characters created by Ellie based on the 1930's depression era. Such a talent, Ellie is also extremely well organised, an excellent communicator, calm and has an efficient manner as she produces outstanding work whether it is hair, make up or SFX. To see the characters come to life from original mood board ideas to being in front of my lens was amazing to watch. Ellies attention to detail is something I admire and it was a joy to see her accomplish the looks she set out to achieve. I wish Ellie all the success that she deserves going forward in her career. 100% recommended by me for all your creative make up needs

This was the second time I'd worked with Ellie - this time, it was a 'Baroque' themed shoot with two models at Image Red studio.

Ellie arranged the models' hair, as well as the makeup.

Pre-shoot comms were great, and Ellie came up with lots of suggestions (and even some props).

The shoot went according to plan, and Ellie's styling was excellent.

She kept an eye on things during the shoot for any touch-ups or hair adjustments.

We're all happy with the output.

I'm hoping to work with Ellie on more creative shoots in the near future, and would thoroughly recommend her.

Had SO much fun working with Ellie today, she is extremely precise, quick and insanely talented. Put me at ease straight away, she worked hard all day and made the whole experience so effortless and smooth! What a star.

Ellie is outstanding with hair and make up, but she is also accommodating to models and photographers ideas - she was kind enough to let us shoot at her flat, she took excellent care or me throughout the day. She is knowledgeable, smart and creative. Not to mention a funny and charming character and a down to earth girl. A full package!!

Thanks a lot Ellie, would work with you again in a heartbeat! x

I first met Ellie yesterday on a shoot with Alice Morelli. She was very professional, friendly, and talented at her craft. She did my hair and makeup brilliantly whilst making me feel very comfortable. I heartily recommend her to any photographer

I am utterly amazed by Ellies work, every time I see an image from our shoot together I am so utterly happy that Ellie responded to my last minute casting call for an HMUA shoot with Patrick.H at SSCreative in Birmingham.

Armed with about three days notice and a pininterest board, Ellie transformed me into the 1930's Bride of Frankenstein (Elsa Lanchester.) The make up prep (never felt so pampered), the application, the discussion of ideas to try, and technical skill displayed by Ellie was amazing.

Ellie also has a great personality, passionate about what she loves, very funny and very knowledgeable, I couldn't imagine sitting in a chair with a better person!

I'm really excited about working on multiple projects with Ellie in the future.

What can you say about this young lady, fantastic, incredible, superb, do not do her justice, she work so hard and produced absolutely amazing makeup which was very specific. Not only makeup but hair as well equally specific. Cannot praise her enough.

Awesome make up artist. Came to the rescue last minute and transformed a model into a bride of Frankenstein. Make up was absolutely incredible!! Highly recommended. xx

Ellie worked with me on an androgynous shoot and she was absolutely incredible! She knew exactly what I wanted, made me feel so comfortable and it wasnt awkward at all!

She was brilliant before, during and after the shoot!!!

Ellie is phenomenal at her job and I highly recommend her!

I hope to work with her in the future!!!

I shot with Ellie a few days back and despite me having no internet, it only took two replies (which included the one to the casting) and her willingness to converse with the model to make it happen and go off without a hitch. I pretty much left it to the girls to get on with the make up between them having all been on the same page pre shoot with a good idea of what we wanted to achieve. Ellie also did hair on the shoot and was willing to get involved with assisting if needed while also keeping an eye on minor details during the shoot too.

I worked with Ellie on an "urban grunge" themed fashion shoot.

Pre-shoot communications were great, and she let us use her apartment for makeup.

Ellie worked with the model to help style the outfits, and offered accessories that fitted the mood of the shoot.

She came up with some creative (and quite unusual) makeup schemes that really suited the theme of the shoot and the look/colouring of the model.

Ellie's really chilled and relaxed, but thoroughly professional, with great attention to detail (both in the initial makeup, and during the shoot - not easy in the dark !).

Between each shot setup, she made minor changes, that gave us very different looks.

And she even helped out with the lighting :)

Great collaboration - Ellie really understands that we get better results when we all work together, and she contributed massively to the shoot.

I love her work, and hope we'll be working together again soon.

Thoroughly recommended.

Had a wedding shoot today and Ellie did the most amazing job on hair and make up. She has such a talent. She really knows how to enhance you features.

Not only that she was so helpful with styling ideas and her personality was great. She is so chatty and very easy to get on with. Really enjoyed her company.

Highly recommend :)

Ellie did my make up for a shoot, she was very friendly and easy to get on with :) she had a clear idea of what she was doing and also asked if there was anything I wanted to add to my look. She was also very helpful during the shoot, ensuring that my hair was always in place. I would highly recommend her :)

Miss Rosie Lea

I worked with Ellie for the first time yesterday and it was such a great afternoon. Ellie was the hairstylist for a pinup shoot with myself, Nicole Taylor and Amanda Elwell Photography and she did a knock-out job! I loved the style so much that I've still got it in today after a very careful night's sleep ;) Ellie is as lovely as she is talented and we got along right away, nattering away about makeup and hair. Ellie stayed while we shot and was very focused on making sure my hair looked great for each shot. I think all this can be seen in the final images which are amazing! Thanks so much Ellie, you and Nicole really made the shoot! Hope to work with you again soon :)

Amanda E Photography

Ellie was the hair stylist for our pin up shoot with Miss Rosie Lea yesterday. She is a very talented professional and her attention to detail is amazing. Her help on set throughout the shoot was very much appreciated too. Highly recommended and I would love to work with Ellie again.

Nicole Dawn Makeup Artist

Worked with Ellie twice now and we are an amazing team. On the photoshoot in Birmingham I asked Ellie to come to help me out and we were on the same wave length of how we wanted the model to look for the photos. Ellie's hair skills are outstanding and versatile. I would work with Ellie again without a second thought! Very professional and understanding. Defiantly recommend Ellie for any hair or makeup work.

Before even taking the photos, I had a really nice chat with Ellie. She s so passionate about what she's doing, it s such a pleasure to have someone involved that much I really want to do creative things with her again. She s so good, have a real vision and she s an extraordinary human being. I shouldn't t say too much here, cause she s the kind of magical person you would like to keep just for yourself . That s how good she is !
