I had the pleasure of working with Lydia for the first time yesterday during a 1-2-2 shoot at the club Albert & Victoria in Southport. Lydia has a wonderful personality and a great sense of humour making her very easy to get along with and a joy to work with. Pre shoot comms were perfect, she arrived promptly and was very well prepared for the shoot. This lovely talented young lady has a wonderful creative ability to listen to your ideas and effortlessly bring your concepts to life putting 110% effort into every shot. If you are lucky enough to work with this talented lady, then you’re in for an amazing shoot. I’m sure that we will work on many ideas together. Very highly recommended. Thanks for your patience and a fantastic shoot, looking forward to our next shoot very soon :)

I responded to a casting call for Lydia and am really glad that I did. We had a great shoot at Libre Studio. Lydia is such a natural that it makes it really easy for the photographer to get a range of poses and expressions for portrait and fashion shots. She is also brilliant at dance shots, at which she excels. When I realised that she would still be in Liverpool over the next couple of days, it was a no-brainer to book her for a location shoot. She is very highly recommended to both experienced and less-experienced photographers alike.

I met and worked with Girl On Fire, Lydia, for the first time at a networking event organised by Jayce Clarke at Next Level Studios in Leigh. Even though we had limited time to shoot together, Lydia was an absolute joy to work with. A professional dancer, Lydia knew how to pose elegantly and effortlessly. I would love to work with Lydia again in the future.

I photographed Lydia in a small group shoot at Next Level Studio. Lydia is amazing and so easy to work with. Extremely professional and requires very little direction. Very quickly understands the look and feel of the idea and works extremely well with it. A pleasure to photograph and I am very pleased with the initial results. I would highly recommend Lydia and I hope to photograph again.

Girl on Fire is an absolutely fantastic model to work with, she knows exactly what to do, how to pose and needs very little in the way of direction. You will come away loving every shot taken with Lydia. An absolute pleasure to shoot with.

Next Level Studio

What a fabulous model and person to work with! Lydia is such a professional it made my studio day with her effortlessly simple. Everyone loved working with her. Comms are A1 all way through.

Will be getting her back to the studio for sure.

We met at a shoot when Lydia was touring this area. I had specific creative ideas which Lydia quickly understood and transformed into her distinctive style. Not only is Lydia a great model she is able to communicate easily whilst quickly appreciating your vision of the final image. She is attentive, a good listener and her caring nature shines throughout the shoot.

Before I knew it the shoot was over! We had a great time. I would thoroughly recommend Lydia. Thank you. I hope to work together soon in the near future.

I was over the moon when Lydia asked to work together as I had been a fan for quite some time and never thought I would have the chance,

And I can say I was not disappointed.

Lydia's pre-shoot contact was great and we had a plan in place before the shoot, so she arrived ready to go.

I found Lydia to be warm, friendly and really easy to work with. Lydia didn't need much in the way of direction but took in well when asked. We managed to fit in a couple of outfits on the dayin which she absolutely rocked.

I would highly recommend working with her and I have my fingers tightly crossed we can work together again.

Had the great pleasure of meeting and working with Lydia on Sunday for the first time. Absolute delight to work with, no direction needed as Lydia is experienced and can change posing relentlessly.

Lydia has an amazing look and she is such a lovely person also.

Im so looking forward to meeting up in the near future to further our working relationship..

Comes most highly recommended if you get the chance to work with Lydia...

We had a wonderful shoot with Lydia at Snape Maltings in Suffolk, Lydia arrived early and well prepared. Despite the cold weather and Lydia wearing an off the shoulder wedding dress, she did not complain at all and worked enthusiastically through a stunning range of poses giving us a wide range of portfolio style images. I can highly recommend Lydia and can't wait to shoot with her again.

This was my first shoot with Lydia. Typically, I chose a windy (49 mph North Westerlies), cold (9 degrees, lowered significantly by the wind chill factor) day for our 3 hour location shoot in Suffolk.

Lydia turned up on time (actually, a few minutes early), and as she approached I was struck by her look and poise! Lydia's hair is awesome, and being tall and slender, with the walk of a trained dancer she definitely has a tangible charisma about her.

A great sense of humour is always an asset on a first shoot together, and Lydia certainly does have a great sense of humour! She also has a thing for locked doors and arches! Lets say, when Lydia is confronted by a bolted door, her inquisitive nature comes to the fore. When faced with an arch, it quickly becomes a posing opportunity, and why not! She has a great eye for detail.

Despite the bitter wind, Lydia was enthusiastic about our various shooting angles, suggesting many options I had missed myself throughout the shoot. Lydia is fun, professional, chatty, well spoken and totally awesome to shoot with! I absolutely love her timeless look, and I'm sure we'll shoot together again in the not too distant future!

Yesterday i had the absolute pleasure of a 4hour shoot with GoF/Lydia around the town of Sudbury in Suffolk.

Pre comms were superb, we both knew what we'd shooting and Lydia turned up with 6/7 outfits to fit the styles discussed. Hair and makeup were done to a very good standard.

Lydia was bang on time and was waiting for me in the pre-arranged place; we then went for a coffee and a chat just to catch up on things.

Lydia is a superb model, poses with ease, has the most wonderful long and very curly auburn hair, is very professional, fun, chatty and just great to be with!

Despite the weather being a bit hit and miss, we had a fabulous shoot and achieved some super images.

As a consequence I'm very happy to Highly Recommend Lydia/GoF to Photographers of all levels seeking to get great images.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Thanks again Lydia xx

Another fantastic shoot with Girlonfire (3 now!), this time doing something completely different at a Gothic fashion shoot at Burford Manor. As always, Girlonfire was the consummate pro. all the way up to the shoot and on the day, always enthusiastic, ready with a million poses and was even kind enough to ferry the other models from the station while I set up. One of the best models you could work with.

Worked with Lydia as part of a big group shoot in Leicester. She is a proficient and confident model, posing with ease, working with new models and photographers effortlessly. Lovely outfits and amazing hair, would happily work with again in the future.

Lydia is a very able and focussed model. Looking through her references, many are from repeat shoots and it is hardly surprising that people would want to work with her again. Lydia responds well to direction and is also able to contribute her own ideas and adapt to any given environment.

Lydia is just Stunning! She joined us in Italy for a few days and excelled in every location we found for her to shoot. She brought with her a really cool selection of carefully crafted outfits which we put to good use. Her enthusiasm showed no restraint and she quickly got into our way of shooting without hesitation. I particularly loved our Scooter concept and shooting in the grounds of the garden from our Air BnB. Lydia recorded every location via her social media, spreading the word to her keen audience. Absolutely loved having you on board for our trip and have Hundred’s of gorgeous photos to prove it. Will be sharing more in the coming months. Thank you so much, really hope we can shoot again in the near future. KJ

Lydia and I had planned to shoot earlier in the year and possibly before that when covid scuppered everything. And when I planned Italy, she was the very first person I asked on the trip. After a long chat over the phone and gauging her thinking and approach, everything on the shoot backed this up. She's really super helpful and super organised to shoot with, and the moment the camera is ready, so is Lydia - making slight but important adjustments to her attitude to bring so many great shots to life. Folks, this girl is super focussed, thoughtful and super professional. And I cannot thank her enough for making a great shoot happen. Watch this space.

Just had a great zoom shoot with GOF.

They turned up early, had a backdrop, lighting and outfit changes prepared so we were ready to shoot immediately.

Not only that but GOF created free flowing and unique poses and they were lovely to generally talk to during the shoot.

I highly recommend.
