Had a lovely shoot with Lily it was my first, but i hope it will be the first of many, lily is very talented and easy to work with, We went through a lot of different styles and backdrops and shared a few ideas lily made it a fun shoot and I would highly recomend lily to photographers and studios thanks for a great

day.

I had wanted to work with Lily for a long time and finally arranged a shoot for last week. Pre shoot communications were excellent and we quickly arranged a shoot at Lily’s home.

On arrival Lily made me a drink and immediately made me feel at ease with her friendly disposition. We chatted for a while and the shoot passed by all too quickly.

Lily is naturally very beautiful and posed effortlessly but with great imagination throughout. I am really pleased with the images that we created and hope that we can shoot again, but next time outdoors, in the near future.

Lily is a superb model and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic shoot with Lily. Very happy with the pictures we created together,

You should shoot with her.

No really, you should.

Lovely, and very experienced. Cannot recommend enough

Was lucky enough to catch Lily at Far Forest Studio this week, the weather held up for us to do the whole shoot outside, managed to do many outfits and figure all around woodland and forest areas.

Lily is an absolute gem, a superb model happy and willing to go with ideas and themes without being hung up only doing narrow genres, just a breath of fresh air and genuinely fun to shoot, happy and just a lovely person.

Ive managed 200gb of pictures in a few hours so many great pictures to sift through it was such a worthwhile day thanks very much Lily :-)

My first shoot with Lily, and it was utterly delightful.

Pre-shoot comms were great, and Lily arrived with a bag full of appropriate outfits.

We worked really well together, and Lily quickly grasped what we were trying to do - so the shoot was really productive (as well as being an absolute joy !). Most importantly, of course, we got some lovely images.

Lily is thoroughly professional, and poseds easily and smoothly, creatively working around the outline themes.

I'm sure we'll work together again, and would thoroughly recommend Lily.

Wow wow wow and more wow!

I can honestly say Lily is the best model I have worked with…ever!

We made plans to shoot for the third time after 5 years. Even when her car broke down she was resourceful enough to arrive before the shoot time.

We went through several sets at Saracen House Studio, and she was splendid (wink) in all of them. We got along like a house on fire.

Thank you so much Lily!

Had another wonderful shoot with Lily today... as shoots with Lily seemingly always are :-)

We arranged the shoot at quite short notice (like, yesterday!) but such are Lily's talents at this game that the shoot went off as if it had been weeks in the planning! She suggested the perfect spot in the countryside, not far from her home: An old disused chapel at the bottom of a nearly inaccessible track (she assured me it was safe to drive down, and so it was - just about!), with a few mostly disused farm buildings around it. We scarcely saw anyone all day, except for a passing dog walker and a couple of farm vehicles (one of which stayed for a while, but its driver didn't disturb us). It was a beautiful day for it too - hot and sunny, but the various buildings at our disposal provided shade and yet were plenty light enough inside for shooting using only natural light. We shot inside the chapel, in and around a couple of farm buildings, plus a little outdoors where we could find enough shade, so we covered a surprising range of looks for such a compact location: Old chapel doorways and windows surrounded with the ancient sandy coloured stonework; farm buildings with straw flooring, rusty metal beams and corrugated iron walls and roofing; disused farm machinery that we could only guess at the original uses of, and more...! All in all a splendid location for shooting, for which I send big thanks to Lily for finding :-)

I've worked with Lily several times before and our shoots just seem to get better every time as we come to understand each other's way of working more and more. She is as fantastic a model as one could hope to find and a true professional, giving her all for the whole of our half-day shoot, braving dust, cobwebs, rough concrete, rusty metalwork, splintered woodwork, mud (or was it dung?!) and nettles -- all in the name of art (and not all in the ideal state of dress for these challenges!). And on top of that she's the loveliest of people to hang around with on a farm (or anywhere else) for a few hours, so I can't recommend her highly enough :-)

Looking forward to more shoots together in the future... :-)

What can I say about this fabulous young lady that hasn't already been said before?

We've shot so many times over the years; Lily impressed me immensely on our first shoot and still does; she just gets better and better. Her portfolio is testament to her modelling and styling skills, she's a natural in front of a camera, all you have to do is point it in her direction and pow! Pose after fantastic pose. She just gets it.

Aside from being a versatile model and all round posing machine, Lily's a genuinely warm and relaxed person to work with, happy to work at pace or in a more leisurely manner over a natter and a good laugh. She's just a total delight to work with, time and time again and I consider myself fortunate to be able to do so.

Our latest shoot formed part of an event day hosted by Lily's alter-ego, MuseModelEvents, comprising her, four other equally talented models and a not-so-junior mansion in the countryside.

I'm looking forward to shooting with Lily in the near future and continuing our creative partnership for years to come. In the meantime, I can wholeheartedly recommend her not only to photographers, but to other models thinking about working event days.

Thanks for another great shoot and fabulous event, Lily. See you soon for our next shoot!

First of all I want to say another massive thank you to the lovely Lily for having me join her most recent MuseModel Event!

When I first received the message from her I was absolutely blown away and couldn’t believe that she wanted me to join 🥹 I’ve followed and admired Lilys work for YEARS and I’ve heard so many wonderful things about her from many different models and photographers, and truly she lives up to every single thing that’s ever been said about her!

Not only is she one of the most talented and beautiful models I’ve ever watched at work, she’s truly one of the kindest, sweetest and loveliest girls I’ve ever met 💗

Lily made me feel SO welcome, so apart of the group and hyped me (and the other girls up) all day long 🥹

The event itself was one of the best I’ve ever attended, from the magnificent location to the delicious food that was prepared for us by fantastic chefs that Lily hired especially! To the photographers that came along and the 3 other absolutely gorgeous and fantastic models that were with us!

Thank you again a thousand times! 🙏🏼 I cannot wait to join you again on another event 💖

What can I say about Lily… she is the consummate professional, elegant and very well organised. I was chuffed to bits when recently she booked me to be one of the models on a Muse event. I was super impressed by her high level of organisation, her spot on pre coms and of course her attention to detail on the event itself. She had literally thought of everything and I can hand on heart say, that in all my years as a model this is the best I’ve been looked after by any event organiser. The bar is raised!

A lovely lady to work with and alongside as a model. I would highly recommend Lily to anyone in the industry and have and will absolutely do so. If you get the opportunity to work with her please go for it!

Best wishes

MJ

!!!!....LILLLYYYYY....!!!!!

Shout her name as loud as you can for this young lady is an amazing tour de force when it comes to setting up power packed model shooting events. Not forgetting she's also an amazing model in her own right too.

I recently had the great pleasure of shooting Ms Gilbert on one of her marathon photography events at a lovely manor in Herefordshire. My first time at one of her events and I was not left wanting. Great models, Great shooting rooms and surrounds and great company to make friendships. It truly was worth the trek from London.

Lily is not just an amazing model but also an amazing person. She is a stupendous host and kept all us togs and models watered and fed. I first shot Lily in 2021 but her Great banter throughout the event made me feel completely at ease, almost like we'd been friends for years. And as you know if you're comfortable shooting, you're going to comfortably get great results quickly. Precisely what I and my fellow togs achieved on the day.

Lily, you also saved my blushes as I started posting on Instagram. For that I thank you tremendously :-). What a great teacher you are to us oldies. I am certain I will seeing you again soon.

"WOW" where to start with this reference for Lily and the Muse model event of hers that I was luck enough to attend. Brilliant organization, communication prior to the event and throughout it. Awesome Stunning location, beautiful talented professional models, great set of togs, In short ive been to many events over the years this was by far the best I've ever been to. Its was fun relaxed with awesome fantastic models to get to work with.

As for lily OMG!!! why have I not worked with her before, She is the ultimate art nude model to work with, her posing and understanding of how to use her body to create art was and is fabulous. I could go on and on but id end up writing a book of praise for her, so I will settle for saying thank you Lily for being one of the best ever models that its been my privilege to have worked with. Thank you also for inviting me to the event and the stunning images we have created.

James Symons

Lily and I got chatting after I particularly liked 1 of her images, which thankfully led to a photo shoot at my studio in Leicester today!

Oh boy is Lily a classy model in every way; communication, preparation, she even turned up early to this last-minute shoot.

Lily went from 1 fantastic pose to the next throughout our shoot together! Very polite and professional at all times - hopefully I will get another opportunity to work with Lily again in the future...

Lily is a fantastic model. If you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to work with her, then rest assured, you will not be disappointed!

Lily came with me to Basfordhurst and worked tirelessly in a wedding-themed shoot.

As always Lily was a delight to work with. she is a superb model and I recommend her with great enthusiasm and joy !!

Lily came to Basford Hurst Cottage to shoot with Steve (Bogwoppett). We had followed Lily's work for a while so it was a pleasure to finally meet her in person.

Lily is clearly an extremely talented and professional model. She worked hard alongside Steve to create many incredible images throughout her time here. Lily is easy to talk to, friendly, polite and a joy to be around.

We would highly reccomend Lily and really look forward to seeing her again soon!! Thank you Lily!!

Finally managed to meet up to shoot again with the wonderful Lily Gilbert this week.

I've shot with Lily for what seems like ages now, and she's just timeless - a complete classic. Shooting with her is always a delight; she's always charming, patient and a thoroughly professional model with a ready sense of humour and a real passion for her job. She really does "just get it" - posing freely with little to no direction, but always alert to any that's given.

As usual, time flew by all too quickly and I'm left with the dilema of which of the great images to edit first.

This pocket-sized bundle of energy can't be recommended highly enough!

Thanks for another fantastic and productive shoot, Lily, see you again soon!

Steve Pearl

I was thrilled to have another shoot with the wonderful Lily today, after not seeing her for far too long. It was also my first shoot of the year, finally emerging from hibernation over the winter months, and what a great way to start the new year! :-)

Lily is always a joy to shoot with - very chilled and relaxed, and yet simultaneously on fire with inspiration throughout the shoot. She may be slightly indecisive at times, but only regarding which of her many stunning looks and outfits we should shoot with next, which is obviously a nice problem to have! You will never run out of ideas when shooting with her, and if you're coffee-powered like me then you'll never run out of coffee either thanks to her fabulous new coffee machine! :-) A mid-shoot snack was also provided, and three(!) beautiful cats kept us company throughout, even if they have a little work to do on their own modelling skills ;-)

We shot at her new place in the beautiful Golden Valley in the Herefordshire countryside and I would certainly be very happy to shoot there again. It's quiet, private and there is good light in the various rooms available to shoot in, including a conservatory with a distinctly Mediterranean vibe!

Needless to say, I highly recommend Lily and look forward to working her with again myself soon :-)

Promo Photo

Had a fantastic shoot with Lilly, I responded to her casting call and we wee planned to shoot at a rural location Lilly had lined up but on the day the weather was a bit unsettled so we defaulted to her home to shoot.

All pre shoot details completed professionally and timely, and on the day Lilly was ready with a selection of outfits.

It was a relaxed shoot and Lilly was happy to follow my directions, even braving a cold pool so I could get the shots I wanted. Not only a profesional and capable model but also a great host (thanks for the tea) and a truly interesting person to talk to, the time flew by.

I will certainly be booking again, albeit next time hopefully closer to home!

The Mad Hatter

It was absolutely great to work with Lily again, a lovely lady, an utterly wonderful model and a great contributor in the image making process. Lily understands light, knows intuitively what looks good and has a great sense of styling. She has stunning looks and an ability to create a mood in her images in a moment. Hard working, gifted, the qualities just flow. Many thanks Lily for another wonderful booking. Absolutely brilliant and recommended like crazy.

Russell T Hill

Lily is obviously known as a stunning model, and you can see this from the 000s of fabulous pics in her portfolio. She is very beautiful, works exceptionally well with photographers, and is full of energy and ideas. She has a very engaging personality, is a joy to work with, and -on a very hot day- made several lovely iced coffees too. I look forward to working with Lily again.
