Not only is Claire an accomplished professional photographer, she also has brilliant editing skills.

She recently edited a selection of my images from a calendar shoot and the results are excellent. The skin tones and textures are perfect! No 'over processed, waxy skin' on show, only natural enhancements.

I thoroughly recommend Claire 'LensGirl'

I had an amazing studio day at the Black Lodge!

Claire was great in organising everything and her comms were great since the first interaction till post event. She is such a good host, I felt very comfortable and at ease during the whole day.

The studio space is convenient and has needed equipment.

Shooting with Claire was fun and enjoyable, and we managed to get some great shots 😊

Very positive experience overall, I can definitely recommend working with Claire aka Lensgirl and the Black Lodge studio.

I am looking forward to organising another studio day 😌

This was my second visit to a LensGirl@TheBlackLodge event. It was well organised, the setups were great, and Claire was on hand to assist with lighting. I’d definitely recommend attending future events, I’ve already got my next one booked.

I had the pleasure of hosting my first studio weekend at thee Blacklodge in Falkirk!

Claire, is not only a professional and creative person but also incredibly welcoming to myself and all the photographers offering tea and coffee and assistance with everything. Claire made the entire experience enjoyable ensuring I felt comfortable at all times.

Also I was lucky to shoot with Claire and I really enjoyed working together, so many beautiful photos !

Her studio is perfect space to work in and I'm very happy to recommend to all and looking forward to my return.

29 September 2024 - Studio Weekend with Irida @ The Black Lodge

I attended an amazing shoot organised by LensGirl (Claire) with model Irida in her well equipped Studio. Claire a professional in her own right is the perfect host.

Highly Recommended.

I attended a photo shoot organised by LensGirl and it was a great experience. The studio is well-equipped with plenty of lighting options, props, clothing accessories and more. LensGirl was really friendly and helpful and I have no hesitation in recommending her.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Claire (LensGirl) on our recent photoshoot. From the i met her, her professionalism shone through as she made me feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Claire's clear communication and direction allowed me to understand precisely what she needed to achieve the perfect shot. Her passion for photography was evident in the way she guided me through each set, and I could see the care and attention she put into every detail.

One of the highlights of the shoot was experimenting with various outfits to capture different looks and moods. Claire's creativity and imagination made the experience incredibly enjoyable and allowed me to explore my versatility as a model.

I must also express my gratitude to her husband, who made lunch for us and assisting with the smoke effects.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone seeking a professional, talented, and dedicated photographer. Her ability to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere on set, coupled with her exceptional eye for detail, made the memorable and fun experience

What an absolute dream to work with!

Claire is incredible!

I have admired Claire's work now for many years and have used her incredible editing talents on a wedding I shot and some of my own personal work each time producing absolutely stunning results.

I am by no means an expert on editing and still learning about photography too so to see my work come alive with Claire's work is a wonderful thing! So if you feel you need to breath life into your photography look no further Lens Girl is the one!

Thank you so much and I am working on some more work for your magic

25 August 2024 - Ava Nicholson - ' The Enchanted Garden Event ' - LensGirl @ the Black Lodge.

Claire - its great to welcome you back, and your new studio ' the Black Lodge ' , is totally out of this world. Ava was an amazing model to work with, and especially from a safe environment for models too. Shooting with Ava - the results have been amazing.

I loved the set for the shoot and the two studio light system works perfectly in you new studio.

Thank you again, I have really missed you.

Now looking forward to your next event - Henry.

Visited LensGirl's The Black Lodge studio for a short shoot with Ava Nicholson. Claire is very welcoming and as always the styling and sets were top notch.

I had a great couple of hours @The Black Lodge for a studio day with Ava and had a great time. It's great being back at a LensGirl event and being in such a creative environment and what a great space the Lodge is.

Thanks again Claire for having such a great wee place to have studio days, really looking forward to more studio days and hopefully better weather 😂

Ava Nicholson

I had an amazing studio day at The Black Lodge in Falkirk! I really enjoyed working with Claire and love all the edits she's done from the shoot!

Claire is always a great host and helps anyone who needs the help during the shoot! Not only does she have a great eye for photography but for creating epic themes, the set up was so beautifully made with loads of flowers and decorative birdcages. The studio is a great size and has loads of variety for making different themes!

I would highly recommend Claire and The Black Lodge to any models or photographers!

Can't wait for the next one, thank you again! :)

I attending an Enchanted Garden theme shoot at the studio. The studio is small but very well maintained with everything you might need as a photographer. I had a very good shoot and Claire is lovely and very helpful - she will also supply a brew :)

I will certainly shoot there again. Recommended.

I had requested some fantasy composites from Claire for a shoot I recently did - she was very prompt and thorough and I am very happy with the results!

definitely would recommend through and through!

AndyJB

I did a 2 hour fantasy composite retouching class with Lensgirl. She put loads of effort into preparing the class, and showed great patience with my novice Photoshop skills.

She is a great teacher, and I was staggered at the result I created in such a short space of time. I learned so many useful techniques that can be used in both normal retouching (replacing skies etc) and full composites; definitely time well spent.

Thanks Lensgirl!

OnionCustard

I thoroughly recommend Claire to anyone who wants retouching or composite work. We worked together for two hours on a fantasy scene. She made it look so easy and turned the image in my head into reality. A couple more tweaks to be made and you’ll see it on my port. Beautiful work, creative, and a fun learning experience, I’ll be back for more!

I recently answered one of Lensgirls casting for retouching work. The images that she has returned are as usual to a high standard. Communication was timely and detailed, and I would recommend her retouching work very highly.

Thank you.
