I contacted Lily May through PP to set up a 1-2-1 event in Northern Denmark.

Pre communication was top notch, everything went smooth. But little did I know that the meeting and experience with Lily May as a model was way beyond my expectations :-)

Lily May really take her job seriously, delivering top performance, outstanding customer care and always with a smile.

Lily May was here late October, and it was cold, but none the less Lily May performed in very setup that was planned. She made the shooting process a very pleasant experience by her natural and friendly attitude and she collaborated to perfection with all the photographers attending the event - everybody loved her :-)

Lily May is such a lovely person to host, just ask all the cats and the dog,I would love to work with her again!

Highly recommended!

I was privileged to have my first shoot with Lily May on Monday, and what a delight it was! She turned out to be a bundle of energy carrying a massive selection of outfits and a massive enthusiasm for the job in hand, and a look that makes me think of west coast USA late ‘60’s!

Lily creates superb poses with no direction beyond “work there, watch the light behind you”, or similar, yet is spot on with direction when given. She’s a great collaborator, too! Happy to suggest stuff I haven’t seen, and maybe the odd improvement in what I have.

I’m immensely impressed by her, and much more than happy with the results. This model is simply a joy to work with, and I hope to do so again soon!

I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Thanks for a great shoot, Lily; here’s to the next one!

Having had one great shoot with LilyMay a couple of weeks ago I was really keen to work with her again. WOW. Once again LilyMay was amazing. Professional, creative, fun and such a lovely person to be around. Already planning our next shoot!

I was early. Lily met me at her door with a smile that said we would have a great shoot. She was also the perfect host, helped me in with the kit, accompanied me to find a parking space and made fantastic coffee!

Little things that say a lot. And she can model. Lily has a stunning figure and all the moves, still managing to retain her personality throughout. In between coffee and relaxing (!) we managed to move from room to room creating images of different styles and genres coming away with some 500 or so RAW images to edit. Watch this space!

Accommodating and open to new ideas, Lily is an absolute joy to work with. In truth it never felt like work! Such had been the nature of the shoot it only seemed appropriate to let Lily relax in a milk bath for the final set, a first for both of us!

Recommended then? Well, only if you want to work with a very talented young lady who is probably one of the most unassuming, naturally beautiful (Wow! Does this girl have hair!), smart and friendly ladies you could ever have the pleasure of meeting and working with :) Thanks, Lily...until next time!

Lily was a very accommodating model. Communication before the shoot was excellent.

She has a wonderful attitude with her modelling, excellent skills with posing with very little direction.

Very polite and a fun model to be with.

Very much hope to work with her again.

We've had a fantastic shoot with Lily at her home yesterday. Pre-shoot communication was absolutely spot on.

She is extremely talented and versatile model with positive attitude. Lily poses effortlessly without any direction which makes photographer's job very easy.

The shoot ran smoothly so we had a lot of time for a chat and coffee in between outfit changes. Throughout the shoot she was fantastic, full of energy, chatty and patient.

We can highly recommend Lily to all photographers taking seriously their work. We are looking forward to working with Lily again :)

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the amazing LillyMay today. OMG! Photographers, if you can't get an incredible image with this stunning model then your doing something wrong! LillyMay had excellent pre shoot communications, was punctual and turned up ready to shoot. LillyMay has the ability to move from smouldering and sultry to girl next door and fun and quirky. Brilliantly suited to beauty, editorial, commercial and figure work, LillyMay is a dream to work with. An absolute professional it wasn't until we had finished shooting that I found out that LillyMay had an awful throat infection - you would not have known this from any of her images! I don't think I have ever shot a model before wheee every single frame I shot is a keeper. I am hoping that amongst these I have done her justice and perhaps - just perhaps we may have produced a FPI between us.

I had the great pleasure of working with Lily for the first time today in my home studio/apartment. We only re-arranged the shoot 24 hours before. I am so glad I took Lily's offer to shoot today at short notice.

Lily is a lovely lady, felt we established a great working relationship within 10 minutes of her arriving. She looked amazing and did her makeup to a very high standard. She looked as good at the end of the shoot as she did at the beginning of the shoot. She had a great selection of outfits & accessories.

Lily was a delight to work with, she needs no direction at all she knows just how to pose to get superb images every time, she is an absolute professional.She is really natural in front of the camera and has smouldering eyes and beautiful lips, conversation during the shoot flowed easily with swift changes of outfits.

I certainly achieved the images I wanted. I would recommend Lily to any photographer. She has a fantastic positive attitude to work and showed enthusiasm throughout the shoot, she really worked hard to get the best from each shot. She is confident and professional but above all very approachable. We had a really enjoyable shoot, felt we created some fantastic images.

If you are looking for a wonderful model to have a great shoot with and produce some outstanding work, book Lily. I will be booking her again. I am looking forward to my next shoot with Lily.

Thank you, Lily, I had a fantastic day.

Had an amazing shoot with the jet setting Lily in the beautiful landscape around the Malvern hills.

She's a great person to work with; beautiful, lovely and fun to be around, she knows how to pose and takes direction well.

The pictures are amazing, I recommend her thoroughly.

Brilliant - had a great shoot with Lily who came to visit in Amsterdam. She was great before the shoot , keeping me uptodate with her schedule. And she was so nice relaxed and easy to chat to during the shoot so we got on great. The results are awesome and have to say , would completely recommend Lily to anyone. Totally awesome model! Cheers Kev :)

Well... where to start really. Lily and I got in touch when she recently started a new account on here and it clicked from the start. Plans of having her to come over for a few days to shoot quickly evolved and last weekend it finally happened. Lily is an absolute joy to work with or just to around with. She's a beautiful woman inside and out. So laid-back, easy-going, open-minded and such good, positive energy. She brought a variety in clothing and accessories, can pose fluently with or without any direction and had great ideas of her own. I also got a chance to get to know the person behind the model a little bit and I'm fortunate I got that chance. She's amazing. In just two days we worked very hard and basically did three mini shoots covering a wide range of different styles indoors as well as outdoors and used a lot of the things she brought along. Needless to say really I had an absolute amazing weekend and I really cannot wait to see Lily again. Obviously I would recommend Lily 100% to any serious photographer or artist out there who's looking for a gorgeous, spontaneous, fun loving model to work with.

Had my first shoot with Lily at her recent studio day at The Barn studio and what an absolute pleasure it was :)

Great communications beforehand, and on the day Lily was a joy to work with. Friendly, professional and a natural talent in front of the camera, we got some fantastic images that i'm really pleased with.

Definitely will be looking to work with Lily again and cant recommend her highly enough :)

Chris J Adams

Due to a cancelation I got the opportunity to work with Lily again. A chance not to be missed. The location was The Barn Studios, an amazing studio complex just outside Stratford upon Avon, as the weather was great we chose to shoot outside in the secluded grounds.

Lily was, as before a joy to work with. There wasn’t a plan we simply moved about making the most of the natural light and the location. Coming up with an endless number of poses, Lily made my, at times quite vague suggestions, work like a dream. The results were amazing, but you wouldn’t expect anything less with such a talented professional model.

Thanks you so much Lily, we must do it again, very soon.

What an absolutely beautiful girl! Both inside and out!

Myself and Mike Siggers booked Lily for a beauty shoot and oh my god she was amazing! Not one bad shot was taken that day, even ones with her eyes closed actually looked fab! Haha.. She makes it seem so effortless, her expressions and posing is brilliant and she needs no direction at all. We even told her to please take a crap shot at some point as it's proving so difficult now to choose our favourites to edit!

Would recommend to anyone!

Michael Siggers

The shoot with Lily was on Friday 5th August 2016, in the form of a Beauty shoot with a few Fashion shots at the end.

I must start by saying that Lily is an exceptional model. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, with a great personality. Communication leading up to the shoot was absolutely perfect. Lily arrived exactly at the time she stated, and fully prepared.

Prior to the shoot, a Moodboard was developed to communicate the ideas and the brief, and Lily understood and fully embraced this. The clear understanding and interpretation of the brief was demonstrated in the shots taken, with Lily providing great shot after great shot.

I would absolutely recommend working with Lily. She is a complete pleasure to work with, very professional, and goes beyond expectations, fully contributing to the ideas and the team. Looking forward to working with her again in the future.

Lily was at the studio for a shoot with Trebor and was the ultimate professional with nothing being an issue while the scene was created with makeup and lighting.

Her attitude made it such a pleasant environment to be in and the results were fantastic.

Had my first shoot with LilyMay94 on Saturday at a studio to specifically work on a theme I had developed. Hannah Louise Field supported with MU and Hair. LilyMay was very patient as I worked to try and find the shot I was looking for and I have plenty of shots to work from and edit. Time went by fast and She was great fun to work with. Highly recommended !

cheers

First shoot with Lily, Comms were brilliant and she arrived ready to shoot and with everything we'd discussed.

She posed effortlessly and is a natural in front of camera, she's also great fun to work with!! Her range of expressions, despite what she claims, are great and suited a variety of styles. We ended up with some awesome images and i'd love to work with her again.

Work with Lily, you wont regret it!!

I have wanted to work with Lilly for some time, and today my wish came true. Prior to the shoot, her communications were excellent so when today came round everything went like clockwork with both of us knowing exactly what we wanted. Lilly is not just a fantastic model, but a lovely human being to be with.

The shoot was at her house and in natural light. Good weather and large windows made it a great location. Little direction was required with Lilly coming up with an endless stream of terrific poses, she certainly knows what works for her and they were exactly what I was looking for. Add to this her fantastic expressions (some of which I swear could kill) and being a photographer just doesn’t get any better than this.

Would I work with this fabulous young lady again? Hell yes I’m already thinking of locations we can work in. And would I recommend Lilly, what are you waiting for!
