This is my second shoot with Leigh. As last time she was very chatty, creative and willing to throw herself in to ideas - and quite literally as we got some head banging hair flicks on the go and caked her in baby powder, oil and water. Leigh was willing to think up ideas on how to do stuff slightly differently for effect, try new ways without inhibition and she'd also pre prepped make up ideas based around the concept.

All in all i think we managed to explore an array of ideas for a simple head shot concept and achieve some funky images.

What a super model with whom to work!

Leigh posted a casting call for a photographer to help with the update of her portfolio and I was delighted when she chose me, having previously worked with her in February. Her pre-shoot communications were excellent as we planned the shoot and agreed what she wanted to achieve from it. She arrived on time, with lots of outfits, although some had been delayed in transit from China – a good excuse to shoot again in a few weeks time!

Leigh did her own hair and make up to a very high standard, posed effortlessly, knew what she wanted, but was happy also to pursue my ideas. She is an accomplished model ,who has flair, and together we produced some stunning images.

We have two further shoots planned, which says it all.

So I've worked with Leigh a few times now and honestly, she is one my favourite people. She is so bubbly and enthusiastic, she can do literally anything to a standard that seriously blows my mind. Every time I've met Leigh or worked with her, you just feel so at ease and comfortable, her energy is fantastic, and she puts all that energy in to her work too and it shows!

Leigh and I had a great shoot last week. I am delighted that I responded to her casting call. Her pre-shoot communications were excellent

She is an accomplished model, who poses effortlessly and without direction, but was happy also to follow my directions. Leigh knew what she wanted to achieve from the shoot, She arrived early with a large number of outfits and props and did her hair and make up to a high standard, changing both several times during the shoot

I enjoyed working with her; together we produced some striking images.

I orogonally shot wit Leigh around 2 1/2 years ago and since then we have always kept in touch.

In the last month I have had the pleasure of working with Leigh again on 2 seperate projects of mine.

One a more urban/hip hop type feal (Beyonce On The Run) the other more creative with some body painting and makeup.

It was great to work with Leigh again she was both friendly and proessional on both shoots getting on well with the MUA's invoved and together I think we have produced some great results.

One of them I think is my favourite image I have created in a long long time.

Darrel

Leigh was outstanding.

She is very professional, although poses well she takes direction easy. I would recommend her highly.

She has a great personality and I look forward to working with her again.

I had my first shoot with Leigh today and it was a delight from start to finish.

She was on time and well prepared, and brought a large selection of interesting clothes and accesories with her.

Leigh is a beautiful model, with a great face and figure, and a wonderful smile.

She posed effortlessly without direction, and worked with me to get some amazing shots.

I'll definitely be shooting with her again soon!

No such bad luck for Friday 13th with Leigh, we had a fun laid back shoot based on a few ideas with time and room to experiment. Leigh is easy to chat to and build a natural rapport with, we were working alone on our own visions and she did her own make up to a high standard. She's also a creative in her own right outside of modeling and brought along some design pieces she'd made which helped up the production factor and build further muses. We pretty much went from an original abstract idea and high key light airy boudoir feel to a polar opposite extreme, a far darker more moody one as she suggested she'd like to do more alt work. All in all i think we got some funky shots and I certainly added a bit diversity that I was looking for to my portfolio.

Great model, knew exactly what to do. As a makeup artist I came with my products but Leigh came well prepared with her own makeup too. Supplied some great outfits for the shoot, has a figure to die for! Knew what she was doing and was suggesting ideas about the lighting. Would love to work with her again x

Leigh was great with pre-shoot communication and on the day. We had planned a group shoot but with 2 no-shows it limited our options. In spite of this Leigh worked really hard all day and we got some great images for all of out portfolios. She's very versatile and was amenable to trying all suggestions. Her look is equally suited to fashion or commercial and worked really well with the Asian outfits. It was a great shoot and I would recommend Leigh for any future shoots.

We had the pleasure of working with Leigh on an Indian inspired fashion shoot organised by the MUA. She arrived raring to go, full of enthusiasm. Leigh was able to take direction but didn't necessarily need it, she is able to pose freely. Her personality is great :)

Would love to work with Leigh again and would highly recommend her.

Andrew Jones

Worked with LeighX a couple of weeks ago and found her to be a very professional and hardworking model. She needed little direction and her preparation for the shoot was spot on. She was lots of fun and I thoroughly recommend working with her. :-)

Had my 1st shoot with this incredible talented Leighx although travelling to me by train she was on time looked great and full of conversation on the short drive back to my home studio witch is always a great ice breaker for meeting a new model..

She brought along with her many great looking outfits to shoot in I really was spoiled for choice but once we started shooting Leighx was amazing ....

She makes a photographers job so easy I was a matter of focus and shoot and every shot was a different pose from her huge vast degree of pure talent....

There for without an hesitation she deserves 110 % recommendation from me

To all photographers out there if you want a lazy days shooting with a model that needs no directions or needs to be told how to pose then book this lady believe me she's so talented its a crime she's not a top model ...

Leighx hun keep up the fantastic work and lets shoot again soon .. x x

How do you possibly write a fourth reference for anyone within as many weeks?

So reliable / enthusiastic is Leigh that yesterday she arranged for me to collect her from another shoot in order to manage an hour with us at the end of our shoot (we were time restricted due to the closure time of our venue).

Whereas some models would spend the car journey stating how tired / over-worked / busy they were, Leigh spent the time chatting animatedly about how she hoped we had sufficient time to gain the required images as well as an interesting conversation about her new observations on photography.

Thanks to her efficient manner and get-to-it attitude, Leigh was in a wedding dress within minutes of our arrival at the venue, and just as quickly changed into an alternate when it was suggested it would better suit her.

It is not that Leigh needs much make-up, but due to her own proficiency she was soon ready to shoot and, as an almost Photoshop-free tog I am delighted with the fact that she requires little/no editing.

Maxine and I were lucky again yesterday, achieving what we feel are some fantastic images of Leigh and her fellow models.

"would you recommend?" seems a somewhat superfluous question when leaving a recommendation for the third shoot in as many weeks.

Togs of all genre will know that sometimes even before you press that button, you know that the image is going to instantly be one of your own favourites.

Leigh and I "worked" together for a few hours on Saturday and gained a number of images that I am happy with. However for one set in particular, everything came right together and those images have instantly become some of my own favourites of all time.

See previous recommendations for the low-down on Leigh's personality and attitude - I hope you will also take a peek at my images from this shoot and see exactly why Leigh made them so special.

Leigh was one of three models for our 'group shoot' yesterday evening. We had asked her to be there for us to begin c. 6pm-6.15pm...

Her dedication and professionalism was further confirmed (we already shot together a couple of weeks ago) when I received a call to say that she was 'on site' at c. 5pm so that she could prepare and become familiar with the venue.

My partner tog and 'far better half' commented that Leigh is a pleasure in every respect, her work ethic, attitude, friendly persona etc is a delight in itself even before you pick the camera up.

Had a shoot with Leigh the other week, Pre comms was really good which is always a big plus for me.

Leigh arrived on time along with a good selection of clothes and accessories.

As well as being great fun to be around Leigh is a really good model with lots of cool ideas.

Definitely recommended by me

And she has the most amazing smile! :)
