Had a great location shoot with Jade

I arrived a little early but Jade was already there ready and waiting. She is very easy to work with and takes direction very well, Jade also provides great input to the shoot.

I managed to get some great shots despite the dull weather and I can only put this down to Jade's friendly and professional approach to the whole process of taking photos. I hope to have the opportunity to book Jade again sometime when the weather is a bit sunnier.

Jade was the model on a workshop I attended a few weeks back which had a 50's theme.

She showed up with great enthusiasm for them theme and provided her own wardrobe appropriate to the theme, and did her own make up to a high standard.

An excellent model, highly recommend.

Having met Jade briefly at a group shoot a couple of years ago I was pleased when she replied to my last minute casting following a cancellation. As it happened the original casting plans were abandoned and I ended up shooting with Jade at her Sussex home.

Jade was a great host, with coffee and snacks offered as soon as I turned up, and an even better model, chatty and friendly, never afraid to offer suggestions, and with a fantastic wardrobe. She poses confidently without direction and really knows what she's doing, being a photographer too.

Very recommended :)

It was a learning experience working with Jade. She's quite good at posing and very understanding too. Plus, she's also a photographer herself so I got to learn a bit from her.

Jade is definitely recommended if you want to learn and observe.

I've been meaning to work with Jade ever since I joined PurplePort a couple of years ago. I was lucky enough to be able to get a place on a workshop she was modelling at and I'm so pleased I did. I don't need to outline her natural beauty or extensive experience, as this is clearly evident, however what was really important to me as a relative newcomer, and someone who is not that confident in working with models in a studio setting, was how relaxed she made me feel.

Really had a great time - four outfit changes in a 50's style shoot is going to result in some wonderful images. Jade - thanks for your help and shaping me slightly as a photographer today. I'd love to work with you again.

This was the 2nd time I have worked with Jade and it has been far too long. She was our featured model for a 50s Style shoot and I really could not have asked for more.

Jade is super professional, stunningly beautiful and a really fun and genuine person. The workshop I was hosting had multiple photographers and she had great connection with all of them.

I look very much forward to booking Jade again. A beautiful mode and a wonderful person to work with. Thanks Jade!

I was lucky to be able to get a shoot with Jade when I applied to one of her casting calls. We had arranged a location shoot and a studio shoot. I gave Jade some images of the location and she helped to suggest some outfits for that shoot and also brought along a new dress. She also posted me some photos of her outfits for the studio session which I found very helpful to choose from.

Jade turned up in plenty of time for the shoot and with her make-up already applied. She has such a warm and happy attitude that will make any photographer relaxed when working with her. I found that it makes such a difference to the shoot when you work with a model like Jade that has got so much experience, that you don’t need to direct her at all and she knows what works to produce beautiful images.

I had fabulous shoot with Jade the weather was beautiful although a bit cool but didn’t phase Jade. I got some fantastic images from our shoot and look forward to editing them. I would look forwarded to any opportunity to work with Jade again. Of course I highly recommend Jade to any photographer.

After stumbling across her portfolio I wanted to work with Jade Lyon and having some ideas of what I wanted to shoot I responded to a casting call she put up.

Jade's pre-shoot communications were first class and the shoot was very efficiently planned and scheduled. Despite having an hour and half journey Jade was waiting when I arrived as scheduled with her hair and make up done as requested, all of the outfits required and ready to shoot.

Jade was exceptional to work with, including nailing one image in single shot, and enthusiastic to try out some more quirky ideas leading to an abundance of great images.

I highly recommend Jade and would definitely work with her again.

I first met Jade about a month back, at a club studio evening. I didn't get to shoot with her then, but I was sufficiently impressed to book an individual studio session with her. Today, I worked with her for the first time. My first impressions were confirmed. Jade was a delight to work with. She turned up with a great selection of outfits, taking note of our advance communications. Hair and makeup were immaculate. Jade was easy to chat to, and to direct, as we were working. She showed every sign of enjoying herself which helped to generate a great atmosphere throughout the session.

I've come away with a great set of images. The problem will be, not which ones to use, but which ones can I afford not to use.

I hope I get further opportunities to work with Jade.

Following my booking of Jade for a studio shoot at my camera club last month where I organised other club members photographing Jade, today I had the opportunity of working with Jade myself.

Jade arrived at the studio before I did even though she'd had a long journey and the studio isn't that easy to find. I had given Jade quite a comprehensive list of stuff to bring and she arrived with everything I requested even though I quickly realised I probably would struggle to use it all.

Jade is extremely easy and responsive to work with and she very patiently helped me explore the ideas I'd come prepared with.

In my initial review of the images shot I've identified an encouragingly high number that look really promising which I'll spend the next few days editing.

Jade is highly recommended and I hope for the opportunity to work with her again at some stage.

After a gap of two years from our first attempt to work together, and with Jade still listing me as a photographer she would like to work with I finally got to shoot with her today. She was personable and professional from the outset and took direction well. She had arrived with most of the clothing requests I had asked of her but time limitations meant that we didn't get to use even half of what she'd brought, through no fault of her own. The studio had lots of weaknesses but she didn't complain and the atmosphere between us was always lighthearted and easy going which made for a fun shoot. Would I recommend her as a model for others? Absolutely! She is a delightful girl with a very youthful look and a lot of experience. Thank you Jade for a great afternoon. Hope to see you again for a shoot somewhere more atmospheric.

Jade responded to a last minute casting that i put up and was excellent in communicating. We agreed to meet in Stanmer Park and she was punctual to the second. I had mentioned before hand that my idea was to shoot an autumnal mood and she brought various outfits that complemented the fall colours perfectly. She is very versatile in posing and very professional and I look forward to booking her again! Definitely recommend!

Jade joined me today for a couple of hours on location at Shoreham Harbour. I mainly wanted to check out the area and see what could be achieved, so it was planned to be a simple recognizance shoot.

Jade's pre-comms was excellent, as ever. And considering the lack of brief, she came armed with a fantastic set of outfits that worked so well...

I've worked with many times over the last few years, and its always a joy to capture amazing images with her. We caught up and had a bit of a natter whilst we captured some great editorial fashion images.

Jade is great to work with, an experienced photographer in her own right, and joy to have in front of the lens. As ever, highly recommended...

I'll admit to being rather unenthusiastic towards model photography of late so in an attempt to pick myself up I put out a casting call to which Jade responded.

Our brief was outdoor Autumn fashion and despite the threatening weather Jade turned up right on time and ready to shoot.

Jade clearly has a natural talent for modelling. For each scene we shot she understood my thinking and worked to get the image I was looking for. Jade offered her own creative input through the day drawing on her experience both as a model and photographer.

Thank you Jade for a great half days shoot, helping me to get some cracking shots and rekindling my enthusiasm.

I had another great shoot with Jade at my new studio, she turned up early, brought a great wardrobe and we had a lot of fun getting some super cool images. Jade is great to get on with and highly professional, I cant recommend her highly enough. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

I had evening location shoot with Jade in London. Pre-shoot communication was good and clear, and we had a really great time. It was fun working with Jade as she has a very positive and cheerful personality. She came well prepared and was always aiming for the best shot. I believe we ended up with some truly great images. As a beginner portrait photographer, I couldn't have asked for more. She is highly recommended, and I am looking forward to working with her again.

Second shoot with Jade; this time studio based. She turned up with a good selection of outfits and worked hard to achieve the images I was after. Thank you Jade.

JimPaterson

I booked Jade for a set of outdoor portraits we needed for an article in the photography magazine PhotoPlus. She was fantastic. Firstly, she was happy to travel for nearly two hours to get to us. Secondly, she is a brilliant model- very elegant with a cheeky smile and an array of great poses. Thirdly, she was fun, easy to get along with and made everything very easy on the day.

Jade modeled for my flash photography tutorial. She was great and I could not have asked for more in a model. Both myself and the other photographer were really pleased with her as our model. I have no hesitation in recommending Jade.

My second shoot with Jade today (under Brighton Pier.)

Like last time, Jade came very well prepared and ready to shoot. Working with Jade is so easy because she is so approachable, easy-going and very talented.

Her experience both behind and in front of the camera meant that getting some imaginative shots under the pier was easily achieved and I'm extremely pleased with the results.
