I had the pleasure of shooting with Lydia for the first time at Shoreline Studio recently. What a lovely person she is to work with. In front of the camera Lydia is a true professional freely flowing from one pose to the next. We shot 3 different fashion sets during the course of the evening as well as a few portraits. Lydia has a great natural look with amazing red hair. I can highly recommend working with Lydia and I hope to organise another shoot sometime soon.

Thank you Lydia for a great shoot.

Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable shoot from start to finish! :)

Communications with Lydia were excellent. She arrived at the studio early, prepared for everything we had discussed and more.

We primarily shot a mixture of dance, fashion and aerial hoop. Her energy and enthusiasm was continuous, including for some demanding dancing and great hoop work. Throughout she provided lots of useful insights and suggestions, to ensure we created the best possible images.

Lydia is a pleasure to work with and produced a lot of great pictures, which I can't wait to edit.

I would be very happy to work with her again and totally recommend her to all photographers. Thanks, Lydia.

I have worked with a Lydia on a number of shoots and workshops now. I considered her to be one of the best models on the circuit in my area to work with. In particular, is the variety of themes she can do and the enthusiasm she brings to shoots. She came along to a regular portrait group that I run. I wanted a 60/70’s theme. She brought along some great outfits and really got into the themed role. It was a larger group than normal, 15 photographers. She worked so hard to let each photographer get the best out the session and she was a real big hit with the group. Highly recommended.

I just attended a group shoot with Lydia in her warrior persona.

Despite the intimidating look Lydia is very easy to work with, fun and very professional. I came out with a number of very strong images and most of that is down to Lydia - highly recommended.

I hope to work with her again in the future and perhaps explore some of her other talents such as dance, fire performer etc.

Lydia came along to a camera club workshop where there a lot of photographers who have not worked before with a model in a studio set up. She was really helpful ensuring that everyone got some great shots with her enthusiasm for modelling. She was a big hit with the group with many really positive comments. She also brought along some great outfits. Highly recommended.

I was lucky to work with Lydia on another model's event day and realised I had to book her for a 1-to-1 shoot. She was easy to communicate with beforehand and turned up on time for our shoot, prepared for everything we'd talked about. She's a versatile model with much in her dance repertoire - and the persistence and stamina to continue jumping and posing while I tried to capture the shot!

We combined the clothes she brought with her with some of the items the studio had available in order to get the looks we wanted, and we got several different looks in the time we had. We finished up with some beauty work, which Lydia is excellent at.

All in all I'm very pleased with the results, got exactly what I wanted, and Lydia was very pleasant company throughout - despite working very hard! Heartily recommend.

Last month I had my second remote shoot with Lydia when I joined her for her warrior themed studio day at PGD Studios. I am very glad that I had the chance to join her for this shoot as her make-up and costume were both excellent, making for an awesome and fierce look that she truly brought to life with a great selection of props and fantastic posing. We produced a great range of images together that looked fierce and expressive and I am very happy with the results. We conversed well during the shoot and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Lydia again. Very highly recommended!

Lydia Clifford (Girl on Fire)

I first meet and worked with Lydia on a couple of occasions back in 20?? when she was first starting out. Right from the start it was clear that she had great potential and that is certainly the case now. Fast forward a couple of years and a friend and I where keen to work with her again so made contact with her a few weeks back to arrange a shoot.

From initial contact to the final day communications were good throughout and we exchanged details and ideas without problems. On the day of the shoot she turned up well ahead of time and well prepared. Makeup and hair were done as I had requested and just needed a final touch up before the session. She had a good selection of clothing and accessories that fitted the brief perfectly. We had a quick look through the items decided on the what would work best for each set, she then quickly got changed and we were ready to start.

My friend and I work with her for three hours with food and refreshment breaks in between. She had several changes to make during this time, but each one was done quickly with no fuss. At the end of the session we were both happy with the results of what we had taken and discussed future work before she departed.

To sum up, she is not only a beautiful lady, but has great presence and personality to go along with it. She is thoroughly professional and a pleasure to work with. She’ll have a go at pretty much anything and is willing to offer input with ideas of her own. Well capable of working with little on no direction, she also responds well to direction from the photographer. All this makes her very easy to work with and I would have no problem what so ever in recommending her to other photographers looking for someone with her unique style and skills.

Another fantastic 1-2-1 followed by fabulous group shoot at the club Albert & Victoria studio in Southport with the gorgeous Girl on Fire - Lydia. As always, pre shoot comms were perfect. she was punctual and very well prepared as always. Lydia is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet, very chilled and down to earth making her a pleasure to work with. This talented young lady always puts 110% effort into every shot to make sure you achieve the results you wanted even with the odd curve ball idea thrown in. From a strenuous hour spent posing on pole to then move outside to do fire sticks this young lady takes it all in her stride. No matter if it’s a group shoot or 1-2-1 your guaranteed to get amazing results. Always reliable and Very highly recommended. Thanks for your hard work and an amazing shoot. Definitely more shoots coming :)

Brilliant shoot with myself and the Cheeky Monkey and Lydia as part of the studio day. Fantastic selection clothes including an absolutely stunning Cinderella Wedding dress. Great communication prior to the event and we look forward to the next adventure .... Thank you for a great event.

First ever shoot with this young lady, an accomplished pole and fire dancer.

I suspect she will be a sword swallower in time but the one brought to the shoot. King Arthur would have been envious of. Certainly will look forward to a further visit from Lydia at Club Victoria and Albert sometime in the future. Posing was effortless and a joy to work with.

Thank you for a great evening.
