I invited Jade to join Imageobjectif and myself for a tutorial shoot and it was brilliant. Jade was perfect for the role. She's bright, funny, and really helpful offering insight from also being a photographer herself. Happily and heartily recommended.

One of my favourite models to work with for so many reasons: Jade is fun, intelligent and has a great style. She modelled for my workshop today and her positivity and friendly communication really makes the session flow naturally. Highly recommended, Mandy

Well what a first shoot with Jade, we had one case of falling down the stairs, multiple cases of laughter (mostly to do with my 80s music), and some excellent images.

Great model, very easy to shoot with and can go from fits of laughter and then drop into a pose with seamless ease.

Totally recommend Jade and will hopefully get the chance to work with her again.

Thanks Jade, until the next one.

It was an absolute pleasure having Jade as a model.

The shoot was planned with enough notice, and the contact we maintained throughout this period was a good way for me to talk about the specificity of what I wanted to create, wardrobe, styling, location, etc.

I had a certain set of expressions' category that I wanted Jade to fit into for these particular photos and, without needing to actually say the words, Jade interpreted the output superbly. ...funny how she used the same words I had written down on my notes.

There were instances (most of the time) where I let Jade do what she knows best (posing and expressions) and there were only a minor few where I wanted Jade to do a certain pose or look, this was simply a preference not anything to do with her ability to transpose emotions, which she elegantly accommodated.

If you want to work with a reliable, professional, friendly, versatile, committed, hard working, punctual and enthusiastic model, then Jade is all that and more.

A big plus to me, and this is important when choosing your model for the type of work you want, and output, is that with Jade you don't have to worry about skin imperfections, etc. this to me is perfect as it means no photoshop, which in turn produces a more realistic look. Apart from her looks, expression abilities and fit into your requirement, is being natural not also what you look for in a model?

(Thanks Raj for helping)

I had the great fortune of shooting with Jade the other evening.

She was all I expected her to be - beautiful, talented, and so very, very patient.

I would recommend Jade wholeheartedly, and am already looking forward to our next shoot - when, perhaps, we might find more foliage to interact with :)

I arrived at Jade’s home for an afternoon’s themed photo-shoot… when she opened the door, it was a wow! from me… she looked amazing in the period outfit, with immaculate hair and make-up and ready to start the shoot.

The house is well setup with a variety of settings/backdrops and has excellent natural light.

As Jade is a professional photographer and model, she can work both sides of the camera. I felt slightly guilty only booking her as a model, as I wanted to make use of her professional photography skills as well.

She was very generous in imparting her professional photography skills and knowledge when asked. This helped develop my skills and knowledge of using the manual camera settings in utilising the available and variable natural light.

She was very patient with me using this opportunity as a training shoot to develop my technical skill and knowledge.

Thank you Jade, for a lovely productive shoot for both my learning and producing a number of very pleasing photos.

Jade is a very lovely person and delightful model, very easy to work with and professional.

I look forward to working with her again and attending the Off-Camera Flash & Photoshop Workshop with Jade and RajK on 15 April.

Jade came for a studio shoot with members of my camera club. There were nine of us so we worked her hard but she was magnificent. She bought the right clothes and modelled them superbly. She is a great model and seemed to enjoy working with our group. We certainly enjoyed working with her and we all recommend her without hesitation.

This was my third shoot with Jade. We had arranged to shoot at Woodchester Mansion which was a group shoot, but each photographer had their own model. I approached Jade because I knew that she could provide the outfits for the shoot and is more than capable doing her own make up.

She is brilliant at suggesting ideas for the shoot. Jade can pose without direction which leaves me to just think about the set up and the scene. I had a brilliant and fun day working with Jade and time just flew by.

I would work with Jade again given the opportunity because I know I will always get fabulous images from the shoot. Highly recommended

Thank you Jade for another fabulous shoot.

It was great working with Jade. Good pre-shoot comms, punctual on the day, and always a step ahead throughout the shoot when it came to picking the next pose or outfit so that we could just keep shooting.

Highly recommended :)

Had my first shoot with Jade today after she applied for my short notice casting in London.

Great and clear comms and she came fully prepared for the style of shoot discussed.

Unfortunately the weather decided not to cooperate with our planned golden hour shoot and it was grey and cold, but Jade helped make the most of it - running with my ideas, chipping into improve them and collaborating brilliantly.

Post our walk round Hyde Park we tried some night time street photography, which is something I have only tried once before, and she was brilliant again and a joy to shoot (putting up with my tweaking of settings :) )

Highly recommended

I had a fantastic half day shoot with Jade Lyon at my flat in Southampton. Her pre-shoot communication is fantastic which makes arranging a shoot effortless with all details confirmed very efficiently. She arrived on time with everything exactly as planned and ready to shoot with excellent hair and make up as discussed. Her modelling skills are superb, she is very experienced and understands poses that work for her thereby requires very little direction and is happy to try some outside of the box quirky ideas. Jade is not only a fantastic model she is also an exceptionally nice person and a pleasure to work with. She also has excellent taste in music and if we shoot again I will take up her challenge of providing better music however that will be a real challenge. Jade Lyon has my highest possible recommendation and I would not hesitate to work with her again.

What a fabulous 4hr shoot I had with Jade at her house in Hampshire. There was plenty of rooms to shoot in and there was plenty of natural light, each different as the sun moved around the house. Jade was so accommodating as I was delayed in traffic for 1hr.

This is my second shoot with and she is brilliant, she makes you feel so relaxed when working with her. She adds ideas and creativity to the shoot as it goes along which worked out brilliant. I gave Jade some ideas which I was looking for and she thought it out to which areas would work best for these. She has got plenty of outfits also which will suit any shoot.

Jade has got plenty of experience modelling and she is one the best I have worked with. At the end of the shoot we discussed a third shoot which we have now booked.

I would recommend any photographer to work with Jade you won’t be disappointed and I am looking forward to working with her again.

I love working with Jade! Beautiful, talented, great sense of style and also a wonderful photographer which helps in its own way. She is open to ideas and always has some of her own, I love the photos we create together and always enjoy the shoot thoroughly! Highly recommended :)

First time Photographing the lovely Jade. Already looking for another shoot.

Good Com's turned up on time. Didn't need any Direction. Nice to work with a true professional in front or behind the Lens. I had a few themes that I wanted and thanks to Jade I had some Keepers. A good fun shoot made the wet day fly by. Thank You Jade. Enjoy the Pancakes.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. Jade brought a range of 60's looks at very short notice and braved the very cold conditions on freezing Surrey streets bringing energy and enthusiasm for the whole of out 4h shoot. She did not let the cold affect her look at all.

She has a great variety of poses and knows how to work with light too.

She was great at spotting locations for great shots. Her makeup skills were excellent as were her pre shoot communications.

Absolutely a please to work with and I would recommend any photographer to work with Jade.

Jade has recently moved into my area and got in contact with me about a shoot. I'd wanted to work with Jade since meeting her at a social event last year, so we arranged to shoot at her new place. So many great areas to shoot and so many amazing props too.

It was lovely working with Jade and she came up with some great ideas for different clothes to wear and different styles. Looking through the images I'm really happy with the results.

Jade is really easy to work with, has a relaxed and fun personality and an amazing natural smile. She needs very little (if any) direction and has a great wardrobe to choose from too. Can't wait to start processing the shots, and I would definitely highly recommend Jade to other photographers and I hope to work with Jade again in the future.

Jade responded to my short notice casting call and we were able to quickly agree the best day and time for us to get together for a shoot this weekend. She came to my Wiltshire studio where we had 4 hours of shooting a variety of sets ranging from portrait, fashion with gels to a softer boudoir lingerie set. Jade arrived dead on time, came very well prepared, with plenty of different outfits and clothing options to suit what we had planned , and with her make up and hair ready to shoot.

Jade is a very experienced and capable model. She was able to anticipate the next pose without me saying anything and is a real pleasure to work with. She has a lovely bubbly personality and is very comfortable in front of the camera.

I am very pleased with the images that we made together and would love to work with Jade again. I certainly have no problem in recommending Jade to all fellow photographers as I know that she will not disappoint you.

Jade thanks again for a very enjoyable and fun filled shoot.

I worked with Jade for the first time at a Kris Karl Headshot workshop. Jade was fun, chatty and couldn't have be more helpful. She and Shannon, the other model on the workshop, made the workshop fly by and helped make the day a huge success. Thanks for your help Jade. Recommended 100%.

Anthony Robert

I was very lucky to meet Jade at a workshop run by Kris Karl. Jade is friendly, cheery and fun to work with, very relaxed and an incredibly talented model with a great sense of humour.

Huge thanks to Jade for her patience and professionalism. As a talented photographer in her own right Jade know's exactly what looks good so direction is just not required, and she is able to give really helpful feedback on the shots I was capturing to help me ensure the images that I shot were all super. So hard to pick a favourite, they're all great.

Thank you Jade, hope to work with you again sometime!

I met Jade at a portrait workshop given by Kris Karl,

Jade is great fun with a fab sense of humour, very chatty and passionate about photography and modelling.

This definitely comes through, delivering great results when she’s in front of the camera.

Working with experienced ladies is just such a pleasure, and Jade certainly makes the whole process so much more enjoyable.
