Great first shoot with Lizzie, the shoot required quite a bit of set up and Lizzie was very helpful as well as making suggestions which was great.

Lizzie is laid back and easy to get along with which resulted in an enjoyable, fun and productive shoot.

Thinking of contacting Lizzie? You should have done it yesterday... :)

Absolutely fabulous first remote shoot with Lizzie. I have been wanting to shoot with Lizzie for a while now and it was well worth the wait.

It was such a fun & relaxed shoot. Lizzie is a wonderful model, in addition to being a charming lady.

It was great working with someone who also loves photography and the shoot was just effortless (although maybe not for Lizzie, with having to do the hard work and for that she has my thanks and appreciation).

I look forward to shooting with Lizzie again, hopefully in person next time.

Highly recommended.

I had been waiting for a shooting with Lizzie for some time when the opportunity of remote shooting came up. For me it was a new experience.

The prior arrangements were very effective and easy to communicate. Thanks to Lizzie's great experience and preparation, the shooting was relaxed and also humorous. I am very happy with the results.

Lizzie is a wonderful model and also very charming.

She loves photography - I could tell at every stage.

I look forward to working with Lizzie again - I have plenty of ideas - and hope that next time it can be in person.

Highly recommended.

It's been a while since I last worked with Lizzie, I attended urban Manchester shoot a first at doing this kind with a group of photographers.

Their isn't to many models that could pull this off, doing different poses for four photographers on the same evening, well done to Lizzie for doing that, then I already new everything would be ok.

It helps when all the photographers get on helping and agreeing on locations which were superb plenty for all of us to go at.

Lizzie is a top model, great to talk to and being good at photography as well is a great help, well and truly recommended by me.

Till next time, thank you.

Attended a group shoot with Lizzie and a few others around urban areas of Manchester on, luckily, a nice evening.

First time doing something like this but found the experience to be great not only in working with Lizzie and getting her advice throughout, but also meeting other photographers and each of us bouncing ideas off one another.

Lizzie is super professional and clearly knows her trade, from both sides of the camera. Will definitely/hopefully be working with her again in the near future.

Highly recommended.

Great small evening group shoot in Manchester Castlefield and Spinningfields, well chosen locations, three togs and one model. Lizzie was on time and very well organised, with several outfits each very different in style but all in harmony with the cosmopolitan city landscape. Lizzie worked with or without direction according to each togs preference and had a wide variety of poses in her repertoire. Very polite, friendly and chatty with an appropriate business-like attitude. Highly recommended.

So last year, not long after the madness first began, I was supposed to visit Lizzie for an editing session. It never happened.

The fee paid was held in a state of stasis, not really going anywhere until Lizzie contacted me to remind me and suggested we look for an appropriate date.

I knew my diary for the next week's was rammed and had half resigned myself to writing off the fee when it struck me that perhaps Lizzie could do some edits and video them for me to learn along to. I suggested it to her and I was very pleased when she agreed.

She viewed my pf and suggested some images that she felt could be improved by better editing and which would also show me some key techniques.

I'm about halfway through the video footage and I'm very happy she agreed to the suggestion. Lizzie clearly knows her stuff which comes as no surprise to me at all. I know that the video footage will be watched by me time and again until the techniques become embedded into my workflow. I am sure that I will book some of Lizzie's time later in the year for some further Photoshop tuition once I've mastered the techniques and has shown me this time.

I had an amazing 121 tutorial day with Lizzie. I booked a full day with Lizzie not knowing what to expect from the day. On arrival we chatted for a while over coffee (amazing coffee:) with Lizzie asking what sort of photography experience I had and what I was looking to get out of the day. I explained that I had always loved photography but didn't have loads of technical knowledge on lighting and editing.

Lizzie took her time to run me through all the lighting equipment that she has and then we proceeded to shoot images with the various lighting so that I could see for myself the different effects that could be achieved. Lizzie is an absolute joy to work with. She took time to review the images after every few shots and explained to me what I should be looking for with shadows and how to use the light to great effect.

Lizzie immediately put me at ease with her infectious and fun personality. I never felt rushed at any point as Lizzie always took her time with every location that we shot in. She has given me some amazing ideas to go away and try, that don't mean spending the earth on new equipment.

I would definitely recommend Lizzie's tutorial days as I have learnt so much my brain is about to burst.

Thanks Lizzie for a fantastic experience and I can't wait to shoot with you again soon.

I had a very enjoyable shoot with Lizzie on a small group shoot with two other photographers. We all got along very well and Lizzie was very enthusiastic, both offering suggestions of her own but very willing and keen to try out one's own ideas too.

All in all a very pleasant shoot in good company and I certainly hope to have some further shoots with the excellent, experienced and approachable model that Lizzie is.

Thank you Lizzie, I do hope we get to shoot some more!

Another great workshop from Lizzie. Beautiful model and great photographer, but what a great eye for detail and once she impressed with her range of ideas. Bursting with creativity, Lizzie's workshops are thoughtful and provocative - and recommended to anyone looking for fresh ideas and inspiration.

I attended one of Lizzie's Urban night shoots and is was excellent,the event was very well organised. Lizzie is really friendly and great fun, Lizzie brought along loads of great outfits and props and had researched some great locations, highly recommended and hope to work with again.

Thanks for a great night.

I had a great shoot with Lizzie last week, my first shoot of 2021 and a wonderful way to start!

Pre-shoot comms were perfect.

Lizzie is easy to work with, lots of posing ideas, and able to effortlessly interpret my ideas.

She chose some interesting locations for the shoot, and brought lots of changes of clothes - even balloons!

Everything flowed well, and the three hours seemed to pass very quickly.

I came away with many good images - well satisfied with the whole experience.

I can thoroughly recommend Lizzie - a talented, professional model.

Simply excellent! Lizzie is my first PP model and I can’t wait to work with her again! She worked with my general theme to produce some atmospheric and ethereal images, before moving on to a more dark theme with much more tension. The wardrobe she brought fit the theme perfectly and her tireless work ethic meant the 4 hours flew by! Amazing!!

Lizzie convened, organised, ran, and styled a Ren Hang themed workshop which I attended yesterday. I learned an enormous amount and more than enjoyed the day - thank you. I'd love to work with you again, Lizzie, either collaborating as photographers, attend another workshop, work on an event you style, and perhaps with you in front of the lens. :)

Louisa Lu

Lizzie organised a Ren Hang inspired workshop that I modelled at and I absolutely loved it!! She is very hospitable and let me stay at hers the night before for the morning start. She is a lovely person and is fun to be around very funny, professional and looks after her models. I’ve worked with Lizzie before and she has always been so hospitable. She also dropped me off after the shoot. Would love to do another workshop with you soon :) she is very creative great model, great host and great photographer! definitely recommended to models, photographers and studios!!! :D

Just completed my 3rd workshop with Lizzie today Ren Hang style with Louisa Lu.

Again another excellent shoot, well organised, constructive and fun.

Highly recommended.

This was my second workshop with Lizzie.

Excellent and well organised as ever.

Lizzie first explained the 1920s look, we were go to capture.

Lizzie set up lighting, instructed and modelled.

The look was excellent.

Thanks again Lizzie.

Highly recommended.

The first time I have had the pleasure to photograph Lizzie, it was a Twenties themed workshop. Lizzie doesn’t need a glowing reference..... Just take a look at her work and see. She is all what you want from a model, impeccable communication, outfits and outstanding modelling ability. She immerses herself into your theme or concept unlike anyone I’ve worked with before.

I will admit, I was apprehensive working with her due to her experience and quality of work but I needn't have worried. She was so easy going, relaxed and down to earth. A joy to work with and her knowledge really stands out.

So if you newbie or a seasoned pro Lizzie will not disappoint and brings something unique to the table. Highly recommended.

Someone that I must photograph again, maybe on a 1 2 1.

I had a really inspirational one to one workshop with Lizzie at NQ studios in Manchester. I was travelling down from Glasgow and the logistics of the workshop were a breeze to set up with clear and prompt communication. I was a bit nervous prior to the shoot at the thought of spending the day with such an experienced and well know model/photographer/tutor. However, Lizzie couldn't have done more to put me at ease as soon as we met. We started by spending time looking through images that had inspired me and then some of my own work. This was a fascinating experience to have a highly experienced model and photographer discuss what makes great images but also to encourage you to build on your creative instincts and not feel constrained by what has gone before. I really enjoyed having my ideas on photography challenged in a very constructive discussion. It is an amazing skill to be able to model and teach at the same time. Lizzie manages to do this in spades and it was quite incredible to see how she thought right out of the box and used the studio space in so many different ways. I left the workshop feeling really inspired to try different photographic ideas and be much more creative. I can't recommend the whole experience more and would thoroughly commend a workshop with Lizzie. Whatever stage you are in your creative journey, Lizzie will help you develop as a photographer and help you develop your own creative style.

I will definitely be arranging further workshops in the future!

Highly recommended!

This was the 2nd time I had shot with Lizzie so I new what to expect - professionalism delivered with good humour. She is so easy to work with and would make anybody feel at ease shooting. Pre-shoot comms were good and I knew exactly what to expect from the group shoot as rules were clearly set our in advance. All worked well and we got 4 looks in 3 hours which you can't grumble at. I was undecided about whether to attend a workshop next month or not but I paid for it tonight which is really about the strongest recommendation I can give.
