It was an absolute pleasure to be able to work with Leigh again! She is without doubt one of my favourite photographers to work with. Full of creation and it was amazing to be able to put together outfits and ideas with her and really bring them to life! 12/10 and would highly recommend xxx

I absolutely LOVED working with Leigh! Her work is inspirational and for this reason i have admired what she does for a very long time now. I am so happy that i had the opportunity to work with her and what a pleasure it was to do so!

I drove for a total of 6 hours to work with her and it was worth every second of that journey! I have never met someone so creative, you could see her mind just overloaded with looks/ideas and i am so excited to see what we produced together.

I can not recommend her enough & i would love to work with her again in the future!

I had the pleasure of working with Leigh for the first time on a location shoot today. Leigh came to the rescue following a last minute cancellation. Wow where to start? I am genuinely so thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with leigh today. she has an inspiring and intriguing creative flare. I felt so at ease in her company. She has an incredible knack of putting her own spin on stuff. She really brought out a real confidence in my work, should you ever get the opportunity to work with Leigh, grab it with both hands. She is one awesome photographer. I can't wait to work with her again.

I can not recommend her highly enough.

I bl**dy love working with this talented lady!!!!

Leigh is by far one of the most creative photographers i've had the pleasure of working with. She gets an idea in her head and with ease she can make it into a masterpiece and it seems to come so naturally to her. Every shoot is different but equally as creative and alonside from this she is a whole bundle of fun to work with. I could genuinely work with her time and time again. So excited to see the results from the day, along with the help of an awesome make up artist she managed to transform me into a style that no one has seen from me before. Thanks Leigh for an amazing day, you rock!

I have worked with Leigh on a few shoots now and I would reccomend her to everyone!

She's great fun and has some amazing ideas. The images she creates are something extremely special and incredibley unique!

Had a last minute shoot with Leigh last week & it was amazing :)

We managed to create a couple of looks with glitter, lace & pretty flowers and the images looked great!

On top of this Leigh is super relaxed and fun to be around, I'm sure we shall be working together again :)

Highly recommended by me.

OH MY!!!!!!....I was asked in short notice if i could model for a stylist last week and when i heard that Leigh was the photographer i just couldnt refuse. As you can tell by her port her work is flawless and has that special something that makes her images stick out, so yes, i was over the moon to have the chance to model for her. On the day. Leigh welcomed me beautifully and was very accomadating, chatty and down to earth. On the shoot she was exactly the same but she makes photography seem effortless, she works with such a laid back casual style and its a total joy to model for. She creates awesome stuff with unique angles and isnt afraid to try new things....which always pay off. I literally fell in love with the BOC's and that was down to her amazing skills and fantastic styling and make up from Lady C. Without a shadow of doubt i would recommend Leigh to anyone lucky enough to get the chance to work with her and i hope to do so again in the future!

I had my second shoot with Leigh a couple of weeks ago and yep, it was yet again...amazing.

With a bit of idea planning and some imrov, we'd decided to shoot a 'tribal queen' look with some snakes! It was so much fun and I really enjoyed creating the makeup look for it. Leigh is a pleasure to work with, she's chatty, friendly and really knows her stuff. I also love the dark/edgy style she works in, so it was even more enjoyable that we were on the same page when it came down to themes and ideas.

Thanks again for an amazing shoot!

100% recommended.

​This was my first ever attempt at modelling, I contacted a Leigh as she very well known to my friends. It look me a lot of courage to stand in front of a camera and let some one take photographs of me, three/four years ago I would of never let anyone do this due to my confidence issues, since doing the shoot I have gained so much all ready, I am already looking forward to do some more shoots with her and others.

She made me feel so comfortable and she was very patient with me, I am so happy with the result!

Thank you Leigh!

It was an honour to get the chance to work with Leigh , after admiring her work for so long!

She was kind, understanding and realy easy to get along with. Completely down to earth and realy fun to shoot with.

I would highly recommend to anyone wanted spectacular shots in their portfolio!!

Leigh Drinkwater was an absolute pleasure and honor to work together. We originally contacted eachother Via a casting call whilst Leigh would be in the NorthEast of which we arranged a time and date.

After this we messaged back and forth to ensure that ideas could be worked out prior to shooting. Alongside the use of Pinterest and general images we got together some great creative style and direction ensuring we have some thought of how the shoot would go.

Leigh not only ensured that I was comfortable being outside my comfort zone. But is a vibrant personality and of such great character and really makes you feel at ease whilst shooting. Leigh has not only a great creative direction with her work that I've not only have I not see before, but she gives excellent form and direction to her models on shoots.

Thank you for not only the opportunity. But kind words, experience, and guidance for my modelling.

Can't wait to maybe collab once again within the future.

Thank you Leigh. And I look forward to seeing what more images come from our shoot together.

HIGHLY Recommend.

I think Leigh is one of the best photographers I've had the privilidge of working with. She is amazingly creative and not afraid create striking images. Out shoot involve a lot of latex, a stormy day on the moors and near hypothermia for both of us but it was totally worth it. Her eye for detail is fantastic and I can't recommend her highly enough!x

RoughenedRoseBud

Wow!! What an amazing photographer!

I got in touch with Leigh after she posted a casting call for 'dark and eerie shoots', which after I read and then viewed her work; immediately jumped at the opportunity. I love the style of her work but then also her ideas are strange, wacky and just brilliant, she is so creative.

I traveled down to Plymouth for the day and we got straight into it, covering me in gold liquid latex, which was very experimental but ended up working so well. But I absolutely loved our final set which involved me literally pouring black treacle all over my face, again, not really something you can 're take', so we just went for it and the photos are stunning. I'm so happy, and hope to work with this fabulous lady again in the future.

Obviously recommended.

Leigh is bloody amazing. Not only will she let you hold her lizards but she's full of these weird and wonderful ideas that really help you think outside the box. I had the most amazing experience shooting with her and our lovely MUA; painted white in a white wig out on the moors with the rain coming in in the valley - her shoots are like a fairytale. She gives great direction, lets you know exactly what her vision is and has fantastic pre-shoot communications (Facebook, PP and Pinterest). She plans ahead just enough to lay the foundations for the idea and collaborates with you to build on that idea until you can capture something really amazing.

Would shoot with her again in a heartbeat. Not only is she a great photographer, but she lives in a very beautiful part of the world so if you're looking for something beautiful and different she's your girl.

So....LEIGH is one of the most talented and most easy to work with photographers I have ever come across. Not only is she friendly, easy-going, down to earth and a real laugh BUT she is also professional, creative and passionate about what she does- and it really shows.

Leigh gave me some direction that was concise and easy to follow- She was also really supportive of my own ideas and allowed me to try some new things. As we went along Leigh showed me how the photos were looking and gave me some tips on how to further create a great photo. The greatest part of working with Leigh is - because she is a true artist- its near impossible to get a bad photo. She's that good.

if you're thinking about working with her I'd have to say its a no-brainer. The real question is...why haven't you worked with her yet?!

Paige Tamara Frost

I can't stress this enough - if you have the opportunity to work with leigh don't pass it up!! Xx thankyou leigh for another wicked shoot!

Paige Tamara Frost

I recently worked with Leigh on a shoot,alongside Maisie Tooley. If you are looking for a highly skilled photographer with serious flair and excellent taste in editing,I can think of no-one better than Leigh Drinkwater. Leigh is talented and to-the-point during shooting,using dynamic angles to create images that take you into a world of her very own.

I am grateful for the opportunity to have collaborated and I look forward to working with Leigh in the (near,hopefully!) future.
