After meeting Lizzie several times over the years I FINALLY got to model along side her last weekend!

Not only is Lizzie a very beautiful, funny and intelligent young lady she is also a rather fabulous model! ;)

She can work flawlessly on her own or (when I decide to basically jump in the bath with her...more or less...unannounced) she can roll with it/ get some fantastic images too! Solo, duo, threesome...I mean TRIO...she can do it all with style ;)

I really enjoyed working with Lizzie and really hope we can do it again one day!

Thank you very much, Lizzie :)

Had the pleasure of shooting with Lizzie for a second time recently, and once again she was a joy to work with, she brings loads of creative ideas and as a great photographer herself is able to help out with camera and lighting too. Most highly recommended and hope to work with her again soon.

Thank you Lizzie

Lizzie is what she is, An amazingly knowledgable, flexible and hardworking model.

Some of the poses she adopts makes my back flinch everytime! (If you know me, then you'll understand that bit). This was only my second time working with Lizzie but each time I work with her it just makes me want to return, and I shall in 2017.

I cannot express how good it is to work with her as she does bring that certain something that always works for you not against you and it is an absolute joy when you get this kind of model in front of your lens. Thanks for everything you and Tony provide on your event days,

This was my second shoot with Lizzie and like our first shoot it turned out to be great shoot. Lizzie was able to create some lovely body shapes during the shoot together with the wonderful natural light have resulted in some beautiful images.

Highly recommended :)

This is a bit of a belated review as it’s been a few years since I worked with Lizzie. I wasn’t on PP at the time, plans to get into shooting models more regularly got shelved for various reasons, and it’s only recently that I’ve revived them & joined PP (August 2022). However, back in 2016 I attended one of Lizzie’s 1-2-1 tutorial workshops. I had a great day, shooting different styles and learning a lot. Lizzie was great to work with, friendly, approachable and patient with this relative newcomer to studio work. I’d definitely recommend her and would love to shoot with her again should the opportunity arise.

I was lucky enough to spend the day with Lizzie at the amazing Sandon Studio (if you've not seen Sandon Studio that Lizzie owns, check it out it's an amazing place)

On my arrival I was met by Lizzie's husband Tony who welcomed me with a coffee and kept me company until Lizzie came down a few minutes later. We spent the next half an hour talking about what I wanted to get out of the day with her and going through a mood board I had created for the shoot (during which Lizzie made various notes to make sure we covered everything) Lizzie is also a very accomplished photographer which gives her an amazing insight in to how to make the ideas I came up with work best and how to achieve the results I wanted.

I was very keen to gain more experience with lighting so our first shoot was in the studio which is kitted out with everything you could ever need including various flash heads, beauty dishes, reflectors, grids and soft boxes of all shapes and sizes. We spent about an hour shooting in there whilst trying out the various modifiers so that Lizzie could explain to me what each one did and which was was best suited to a particular situation, once again Lizzie's knowledge of lighting is amazing.

We then shot in the hallway of the studio which is a lovely setting filled with natural light and very classy furnishings. Lizzie posed effortlessly throughout the shoot whilst offering guidance on composition, lighting, etc and stopping every once in a while to review my images with me.

After a coffee and biscuits which was brought to us by Tony we headed off in to the loft to shoot one of the concepts that I had come up with, during which time Lizzie worked tirelessly to make sure that I got the shot that I wanted and totally immersed herself into the role I had created but at the same time kept the conversation flowing and made it as enjoyable as possible.

By the time we had finished it was time for lunch which Tony had prepared for us and while we ate a lovely pizza and a side of fresh salad we chatted all kinds of things including photography, family and Christmas before heading off to one of the themed bedrooms to shoot another one of my concepts.

During this shoot Lizzie showed me how to Achieve some awesome lighting effects using 1 flash head and a speedlight fired remotely to create just the dramatic atmosphere I was looking for, she also flowed from pose to pose to pose without any direction from me........the end result was an amazing set of images.

After another coffee and more biscuits delivered by Tony (Lizzie, where can I buy a Tony from???) Lizzie then showed me some creative body lighting techniques using 1 flash head and a variety of modifiers and also some various pieces of material that were hung between the light and her which created some amazing images and also showed me just how many different effects you can get just by hanging different things in front of the flash head.

Sadly our day was over with all to quickly and after a final review of my images it was time for me to leave but I am already working on some more concepts to work on with Lizzie and can't wait to return to Sandon studio in the very near future.

If you looking for either a really down to earth model who is a pleasure to work with, An extremely knowledgeable photography tutor, An amazing studio setting Or all of the above then get in touch with Lizzie, you won't be disappointed.

P.s

Whether you are a model or a photographer make sure you buy Lizzie's book, it's meant for models but is full of useful information that is also helpful to photographers working with models !

I attended a themed event hosted by Lizzie, not only is she a stunning model with an equally stunning location her planning and personality made the evening a great success. Thank you very much and I look forward to editing some great images.

Lovely shoot with Lizzie at Sandon. Lizzie produced an awesome array of facial expressions, and poses. She requires very little direction, but will respond positively to requests, and actively listens to what you are trying to create, before delivering it spot on. Lizzie had created a number of sets, with some lovely lighting set ups. Combined with the magic of Sandon, we got some lovely results. Lizzie is also very helpful on the other side of the camera, as she is an excellent photographer herself. Thanks Lizzie, cant wait until next time.

I've just come home from my first shoot with Lizzie and i'm so happy :)

Pre-shoot comms were top notch.

Lizzie was very receptive of the theme that I was aiming for and she worked so hard to help me get the results that I really wanted - it was great to see Lizzie's attention to detail and planning.

The day started with a chat over a cuppa while discussing various ideas and looking over the mood board I had put together - Lizzie was also throwing some great ideas at me and we came up with a plan of action.

I found working with Lizzie was very inspirational, a lot of fun and I also learnt a lot technically as Lizzie was showing me various lighting techniques during the day.

I really enjoyed working with Lizzie and felt that the day was a really good team effort - I can't wait to see the final edits.

Lizzie's hair and make up were really well done - the final set of the day was the cherry on top for me as Lizzie made herself up so well - I was genuinely scared at one point lol.

Tony was also a great host and kept the tea flowing and also provided a really tasty lunch.

Thank you so much Lizzie and Tony, I really can't wait til the next time :)

Did a shoot with Lizzie on a cold November morning in 2015. A really professional model, who needed no direction and despite the cold, completely blinkered this and helped me produce some great images of a very beautiful woman. I hope to work with her again some day.

I booked Lizzie for one of her 1-2-1 tutorial sessions at her home studio (Sandon Studio). We began the day by sitting down and discussing what I was hoping to get from the day followed by a tour of the many different 'sets' that Lizzie has created within the studio.

Throughout the day Lizzie not only proved to be a very talented model, her hair, make-up and styling where exceptional but she is also an adept photographer who was able to give great advice on lighting, and composition. I certainly gained a lot out of this session not least because Lizzie took the time to review the images and to explain what worked and how to tweak the shots when required.

In summary Lizzie is very easy to get on with and the day flew by. From a tutorial perspective I took away some valuable lessons and as a photographer I think some of my best pictures to date.

Lizzie is an excellent model, a real beauty and a talented tutor. If your serious about improving your photography I really couldn't recommend her highly enough.

I had the pleasure of spending a lovely Sunday morning with Lizzie on a half day tutorial at the fabulous Sandon Studio.

We covered a range of ideas and got some lovely shots. Lizzie helped me with some great ideas and she got me focusing on telling stories with my images. I've been shooting for a while now but I still picked up some great ideas to help me with my future shoots.

She's a real professional, poses really well and has a lovely way of getting her ideas across. She has a wonderful figure, great looks and is a delight to work with. The four hours we had flew by way too quickly.

I will definitely be looking to book up a follow up session to help fine tune my technique and would definitely recommend Lizzie & the Sandon Studio to all photographers and models.

Thanks Lizzie for a lovely Sunday morning

Managed to do a shoot with Lizzie at Sandon Studios at a portfolio building event I attended there.

Lizzie was happy enough to shoot with me and her experience as a model really shone through in our images. She's open to a lot ideas but overall, lots of fun to work with.

Lizzie is the best at what she does and also goes out of her way to help with you achieve the perfect image

Extremely recommended to work with and I can't wait to work with again soon

Thank you Lizzie for a great shoot

Enjoyed a fabulous tutorial day with Lizzie, she's so friendly and easy to get along with and therefore makes learning and shooting with her such a breeze. Pre-shoot communications between us were excellent. I explained I particularly wanted to learn more about how to combine ambient light with flash. Lizzie suggested a good range of shoot sets to cover this and we ran with her suggestions. The whole day was fantastic, I learnt lots and it was good fun too. Lizzie made very positive use of regular reviews of my photo images throughout the day and I particularly appreciated this. We achieved lots and lots of very good photo images and I now have a difficult task of choosing a more limited number of 'very best'. Lizzie is an excellent photography tutor who very ably covered my learning brief. She is of course a fabulous model as well, she provided a very versatile range of poses throughout the different shoot sets. I recommend her as a photography tutor and model very highly :)

Had a fantastic shoot this afternoon with Lizzie at her Studio this afternoon. Highly recommend Lizzie who apart from being stunningley attractive with a great figure, is also a photographer who can give invaluable input to the shoot. The afternoon whizzed by, always a good sign of a great shoot. Look forward to shooting again with Lizzie sometime in the future.

Great shoot with Lizzie in Sandon Studio. Shes very bubbly with loads of experience and we discussed a number of ideas during the shoot to get the best from her and her great venue at Sandon Studio. Highly recommended.

I was given a very warm welcome at Sandon on arrival, a tour of the house and an in depth chat about what I was looking for and what I would like to shoot.

Once we started shooting Lizzie was very professional and talented making it possible to work very speedily and use plenty of the facilities that Sandon Studios has to offer, also helped by Lizzie's in depth knowledge of photography and understanding of photographers.

I had a very productive and enjoyable day with Lizzie and I am thrilled with the results of our shoot. I'm sure this is the first of many shoots at Sandon and I highly recommend her and the Studio to you all.

Brian.
