Lizzie certainly gave a high authenticity standard when asked to prepare for "What The Gardener Saw". During the shoot it was like actually being there in the 1920's Vintage Glamour days. Her hair styling, facial expressions, figure and wardrobe exactly matched the period. It was like being in a snapshot In time. Looking forward to receiving a signed copy of her book too.

I attended Lizzie's Lighting Masterclass workshop at The Cottage Studio on Sunday because I had benefitted from shooting with Lizzie before and also because she had hired Angelique to model for the workshop, whom I had also shot with positively. Lizzie provided expert guidance, entertainment and to finish, modelling alongside Angelique. Once again Lizzie proved smart, educational, inspirational and enjoyable company. Whatever your level, Lizzie cannot fail to enhance your photographic experience; HIGHLY recommended.

I attended Lizzie's studio lighting course at the Cottage Studio in Sussex.

She certainly knows her stuff, she is knowledgeable and helpful, taking time to assist each of us with our shoot where necessary. Lizzie ran through six set ups, explaining the reasoning behind each one, and she discussed techniques and answered questions in between sets. She was assisted by the lovely Angelique who was the model for the course, and is also highly recommended. It was an enjoyable day and well worth the money.

I was lucky enough to shoot with the beautiful and talented Lizzie today during her visit to Edinburgh .She was a delight to photograph and time just flew by. Lizzie has been on top of my most wanted list of models to photograph for some time now and did not dissapoint ! I certainly hope she will venture back to Scotland again in the future

I had a fantastic shoot with Lizzie. She is a beautiful woman and an absolute delight to work with.

As a relative novice I was looking for a reasonably experienced model who would bear with me and hopefully give me a few tips. Photographing Lizzie was not only a most pleasant experience it was also hugely informative. My pictures exceeded all my expectations and the quality was not just down to her being a beautiful model, but also because she was so knowledgeable, helpful and easy going - and a bit of a mind reader into the bargain!

For beginners to professionals I could not recommend Lizzie highly enough.

A couple of months back Lizzie made a casting for a trip to Edinburgh and I decided to book a slot.

Lizzie is not just a beautiful model who has a really professional attitude and a high level of skill at modeling she also has an in depth knowledge of lighting and as a result I came away not only with a full card of images but I also learned some new ideas and tips on how to use studio lights to the best effect.

Whether you are a self taught amateur like myself looking for a relaxing but productive shoot or a totally professional photographer it makes no difference to her attitude and I can only thoroughly recommend her. I only hope she will consider coming back up to Scotland in the not too distant future.

I had a wonderful shoot with Lizzie last year when she visited Edinburgh. She was well prepared, hard working and we got some great shots together. :)

First ever shoot with Lizzie and first ever shoot in an apartment setting. Lizzie is an absolute joy to work with. Not only is she a natural beauty, she also has in depth knowledge of lighting. At the start of the shoot we set a theme and together we explored it throughout the day in a relaxed atmosphere, possibly too relaxed as we were told we were laughing very loudly. I will definitely work with Lizzie again and recommend her highly. Thanks Lizzie for an enjoyable day!

It is only with the very best models, when the shoot is finished, that the photographer’s mind is full of ideas for the next shoot with her and wondering why he/she hadn’t on the shoot just finished followed a particular theme or idea, be it with the model clothed or art nude. The better the model the more ideas you have for the next shoot. So it was for me with Lizzie today in Edinburgh: I cannot wait for our next shoot together. Lizzie is a very versatile and responsive model, with whom it was an absolute pleasure to work. She is professional, communicates well before and during the shoot, and is keen that the shoot is productive for the photographer. Lizzie is very personable and very quickly establishes a rapport with the photographer. I recommend Lizzie without reservation.

I shot with Lizzy on her Edinburgh tour and cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a gifted model, and in our shoot I asked for two specific looks. One a romantic, soft feminine art nude session using natural light and then a film noir, high contrast, low key lighting. It was with uncanny ease she effortlessly moved form one style to a very different one. She instinctively knew what I was looking for and worked extremely hard to get the right shot. Lizzy is also a talented photographer and I was delighted with the suggestions she came with. I love it when a model collaborates, for often they bring a very different fresh perspective on a shot and Lizzy brought a wealth of experience and creativity to the shoot. She was the utmost professional, her communication beforehand was superb and I do hope she makes the decision to tour Scotland again soon. Lizzy is a beautiful, thoughtful, insightful and professional model. She is also great fun to work with and has an infectious sense of humour and smile. You will not regret any shot booked with her. Thank you Lizzy.

I had a great shoot with Lizzie. While this was my first shoot with Lizzie, I felt I had known her for ages. So friendly. I only needed to give a brief discription of what I was looking to shoot and Lizzie knew exactly what was needed. Being a photographer herself, she gave great input to shots.

Fantastic model! I hope Lizzie visits Scotland again.

I had a shoot with Lizzie whilst she was visiting Edinburgh. The pre-shoot comms were excellent, she was thorough at checking exactly what she would need to bring and what I was looking for from our shoot.

On the day Lizzie was ready when I arrived and we got straight into shooting after a quick brew and chat over the plan. Lizzie is very creative and brings plenty of ideas to the shoot, her poses are varied, natural and she needs no direction. Make up and hair was done to a very high standard and Lizzie's wardrobe suggestions for the various sets that we did were spot on, and she had an extensive wardrobe with her.

Through out the shoot Lizzie was fun to work with and has a great sense of humour which made for a relaxed and enjoyable shoot.

I would recommend Lizzie to any photographer, especially those new to working with a model as she knows exactly what she is doing, and as a photographer herself can provide any lighting and technical input that's required.

Hours before the winter sun's ignited"

Pete Townsend could easily have written those words for me as they perfectly sum up how exited I felt about working with Lizzie for the second time. I was up at 4:30am even though my train wasn't booked until 9:09am!!

It was almost as if the six months since our previous shoot had never been! Immediately, I felt very comfortable with her. She was exactly as I had remembered her from the last time: a very sweet, very warm and friendly person with a fantastic sense of humour. I was shown the same generous hospitality as before with a cup of tea exactly the way I like it.

A consummate professional also, who helped me to realise my ideas - and then some! We had a script to work from but she presented so many beautiful and delightful variations on each theme with virtually no prompting.

Considering that we got through an exhaustive body of work, we found time to talk about a wide variety of subjects including music, the Mod scene, photography, sociology and (ahem!) train travel.

To summarise, it was an amazing shoot which was over far too quickly. Oh well, I'm gonna have to book another one with her very soon.

Indeed, highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with Lizzie at her home studio. Her modelling skills are excellent and she also has a sound knowledge of photography. Very versatile in her posing techniques and wardrobe. Excellent images captured. I highly recommend her to all.

I shot with Lizzie yesterday and the experience was simply amazing. At the start of the shoot Lizzy ensured that we discussed in detail what I hoped to achieve and we walked through and reviewed all the shooting areas, all the time doing everything she could do make me feel relaxed and comfortable. The shoot itself was amazing, Lizzie is a creative genius! she understands and internalizes every request and gives the most amazing poses, with the highest levels of energy throughout the 4 hours. We stopped every 5-10 minutes to review the shots and Lizzie offered helpful and creative input and advise, whilst making you feel you were talking with an old friend! I went with high expectations of the images I hoped to produce and due to Lizzie, I completely surpassed all my expectations. If you have not shot with Lizzie then I highly recommend you do! I will be shooting with her as often as I can!

I had a fantastic first shoot with Lizzie during a weekend event in Wales a couple of weeks ago. Lizzie is an extremely versatile model with bags of enthusiasm. She was very helpful and obliging and I have a number of fabulous shots as a result of our discussion coupled with her creative input. I can't wait to work with her again and highly recommend her.

Mr Dave

Just had my first shoot with Lizzie on a Wales weekend, it was a real pleasure working with her. Pre shoot comms were excellent and had the opportunity after our 'group shoot' to have a 1-2-1 with Lizzie.

She is very knowledgeable and as well as getting some super images I have learnt so much from her.

We had a great bonding and worked so well together.

Hope to arrange another shoot with Lizzie at her place.

Highly recommended

Thanks

2nd shoot with Lizzie and my first on location. She was brilliant and once we sorted the many location options, she was able to pose with minimal direction and even suggested a couple of light tweaks to get the best out of all the locations. I would happily recommend Lizzie to anyone looking for great images from a great model. - thanks

I had the pleasure of working with Lizzie on a location shoot in Wales with Paul's studio. She is lovely to work with, takes direction well and is creative in coming up with her own ideas and style. On top of all that, Lizzie is a competent photographer who can also help with the technicalities in creating the images the photographer is trying to achieve. I can't recommend her highly enough and look forward to working with her again soon.

Just had a fabulous full day’s shoot with the amazing Lizzie Bayliss! She is a consummate professional, exquisitely photogenic, will create pose after pose, is a photographer in her own right, holds lighting master classes as well as being an author!

From the moment that I arrived, we were collaborating on my ideas for the day and planning locations and lighting around her lovely house in Wolverhampton. I enjoyed every moment of the shoot, managed to create some amazing images and have already booked Lizzie for a follow-up session.

Lizzie is a MUST WORK WITH model that I highly recommend.
