Great shoot with Lydia last week at Beltcraft Studios. Lydia is not only an exceptional model but also very collaborative and good fun to work with. Very highly recommended.

I photographed Lydia in June 2023 on a photo weekend arranged by Rachelle and Mark Summers from Summers Aboard, she was very easy to work with posing naturally both inside an outside, giving feedback on positions that worked best for her. Giving me some memorable images.

My first shoot with Lydia was interesting and fun. Her distinctive look, together with well chosen and fashionable clothing and elegant posing combine into fabulous images. She is used to upmarket modelling so she easily produces great poses that make the most of her good looks. She was also very easy going and pleasant to work with as well as fully involving herself in the shoot. And she was full of ideas about how to improve the photos which was great. Needless to say we made some really great images and I was very pleased. I would be delighted to shoot with her again and highly recommend her.

I worked with Lydia on a shoot at Norwood Park this week. She's a fantastic model working effortlessly and with style and professionalism throughout the session.

I thoroughly recommend working with her and hope to do so again soon.

I had an unforgettable shoot with Lydia today at TBG. The stunning redhead, Lydia, stepped into the studio, and magic happened. It's rare to find a model as amazing as Lydia – she possesses a unique blend of elegance, confidence, and versatility that made every moment of our shoot truly remarkable.

We embarked on a photoshoot adventure that spanned various styles, from fashion lingerie, some with fiery gels and timeless portraits. The camera adored Lydia, and she effortlessly embodied each concept.

Working with Lydia was an absolute delight. Her professionalism shone through as she effortlessly transitioned between poses, her interpretation of my vision and she contributed ideas that were clear and inspiring. Her punctuality ensured that our shoot flowed seamlessly. It's not every day that I sync with a model as well as Lydia.

Lydia's skills are beyond doubt. Her ability to evoke emotions through her expressions and body language left me in awe. From elegant glances to fierce confidence, she mastered it all. But it's not just about skills – Lydia's personality added an extra layer of charm to the whole experience. Her warm demeanour and openness to experimentation made the shoot feel like a creative playground.

And here's the cherry on top: the photos turned out absolutely breathtaking. Each shot encapsulated a different facet of Lydia's charisma, and I couldn't have asked for a more enriching shoot. The moments we captured have a timeless quality that I'm sure will resonate with anyone who sees them.

In a heartbeat, I would recommend Lydia for any shoot that demands not just a skilled model, but also someone who radiates positivity and creativity. Working with her was a rewarding experience, one that I would gladly repeat. Thank you, Lydia, for bringing your magic to our shoot.

Looking forward to the next opportunity to create art together.

I worked with Lydia at mick Paytons studios recently,

I don’t know how to find the words to justify just how incredible Lydia was .

I knew she was a fantastic model but we went for a very different mood to some of her usual shoots so it was a real tester and my god did she smash it.

We did 4 to 5 different looks and the diversity in Lydia’s work was incredible she pulled each look off and her talent shined so bright . We achieved seductive sexy and fierce, to high fashion vogue to inocent girl next door and each one she pulled of like it was nothing . I was impressed to say the least. She trusted me and my work on styling and makeup and she was open to all ideas making my job a dream. And if I do say so she wore my looks beautifully and really did my work justice . She was polite , fun, proffecional, hard working and just a delight .

If your considering having Lydia as your model my advise would be is don’t underestimate this girl she can and will achieve and deliver. The diversity and skills Lydia has is truelly somthing .

Highly recommended

I would absolutely recommend Lydia and hope to work with her again soon.

It was great to work once again with Lydia, this time at her studio day at The Boardroom in Derby. The event was well-organised and communciations prior to the shoot were excellent. The shoot itself was a lot of fun - Lydia had brought a good selection of outfits, and we had a creative morning based around the setups I had in mind. Lydia is hard-working and professional, and has a lot of suggestions which makes for a collaborative and creative photoshoot. She is a pleasure to work with, and I was very pleased with the photos from the shoot. I would be very happy to recommend her, and look forward to working with her again.

Having worked with Girl on Fire - Lydia in a large group shoot previously I was really looking forward to working with her on a 121 basis - and she certainly didn't disappoint. The session took place at the wonderful ZAVOD studio in Sheffield and Lydia was happy to make full use of all of the facilities there she. She is a natural in front of the camera - moving effortlessly and elegantly from pose to pose. She is very easy to work with and interesting to talk to - looking forward to our next shoot (in a months time). Very highly recommended.

I'd most definitely recommend Girl on Fire - Lydia.

Although booking quite some time ago, I'd only reached out yesterday for what we were going to shoot in the first slot of her studio day at Zavod this morning. She went with the ideas with full enthusiasm, taking on-board suggestions, shifting position to accommodate the lighting and throwing such a variety of poses, I don't think I saw any repetition throughout the two hours. That's a rare talent.

Absolutely brilliant and one of the easiest models to work with.

I worked with Lydia at a ballet event orgainzed by Tabitha Boydell. It was a great event with many great dancers. One of those great dancers was Lydia. She was marvellous to work with and I love the results. I will work again with her some day.

I highly recommend her to all of you photographers out there.

First time meeting and working with Girl on Fire – Lydia at Inspire Studios yesterday, and what an absolute pleasure it was.

Lydia is not only a hardworking, professional and talented model, she is a friendly, warm and delightful person to work with.

She poses well and requires very little direction, but also easily works with instruction given. She has the most wonderful long, curly and natural auburn/red hair, green eyes and English rose completion, but is still capable of pulling off edgy, dynamic looks too.

So… I would 100% recommend Girl on Fire to all photographers or studios, you will definitely not be disappointed.

Thanks Lydia, looking forward to next time… (Y)

I had my first shoot with Girl on Fire - Lydia as part of a group shoot at Inspire Studios in Salisbury.

Lydia is an incredibly talented and versatile model. She is warm and friendly and works really hard to help you achieve your vision.

She came up with some fantastic ideas and poses and I am really pleased with the images I have got from the shoot.

I look forward to getting the opportunity to work with Lydia again soon.

Absolutely fantastic first shoot with Girl on Fire - Lydia at the amazing Inspire Studios in Salisbury.

Lydia was full of energy throughout the shoot, I always (usually) show up to a shoot with a mood board and upon looking at it it was just wonderful how she jumped straight in with both feet to help me achieve some Old Hollywood wonderfulness! I can’t help but have an inkling of what it was to shoot with Bette Davis or Carole Lombard, Lydia conjured the spirit brilliantly.

Prefect comms preschool with short introduction etc, great conversation throughout and beautiful as all heck! If only every shoot went as well!

100% wholeheartedly recommended.

Inspire Studios Ltd

It was great to see Lydia back again and this time for 3 days...2 studio days and one group shoot day. She was, as ever, fabulous with her modelling skills. She is really good with the photographers and works with them to get the best from their shoot. Lydia always brings a fab selection of outfits and poses really well. She is also a really lovely person and fun to be around. Can absolutely recommend her and look forward to seeing her back again at some point.

My second shoot with Lydia which I was pleased to have managed to organise when she was nearby. Lydia is a lovely person to work with and we did a wide range of things from period costume for my 'Belle Epoque' theme, then several bikinis by way of complete contrast. The two hours went by very quickly, and I discovered again how versatile Lydia can be both in pose, dance, expression, etc. She is also an architypal redhead with pale skin and freckles which I love. Thanks, Lydia. I am sure we will meet up again.

I worked with Lydia a couple of years ago early in her modelling journey. And again last year. And every time I meet I can see her growth. Every time spot on reshoot comms, styling and after shoot comms. So this time lucky enough to Shoot with Lydia 4 times in 10 days. starting on 23rd March at Inspire studios then 2 days later on Group shoot at Inspire. Then following weekend I group photo walk in London. Then a one to one fashion walk around in London. Every time messaging spot on lots of great shoots and a pleasure to work with.

I 100% recommend Lydia. And to my luck Lydia is one of 5 models I am due to work with in June.

CharlieBoy

Magnificent and brave!

Perfect comms, with total energy and commitment to achieve our chosen images, in far from ideal weather conditions.

Lydia is also extremely affable, which made a demanding shoot seem like a pleasant social occasion.

I very much hope we can work together again and would recommend Lydia to all photographers. Thank you so much.
