Great shoot in city centre, well chosen locations. Lizzie was on time and very well organised, no less than four outfits in three hours, each very different in style but all in harmony with the urban 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.

Had a great evening with Lizzie - small socially distanced group - Lizzie was very professional and easy to work with. Had three changes of costumes and worked through the three hours with great enthusiasm . Thanks Lizzie

Joined Lizzie for a small group shoot on a grey Manchester evening. Lizzie was there for the start and continued for the agreed three hours with aplomb. Great atmosphere all round and I believe everyone enjoyed the flexible, approachable and variety of in context poses presented. Three costume changes in a street environment was impressive. Very happy with the resultant images

I had a pleasure to be part of Lizzie's Ren Hang inspired group workshop in Manchester studio. I was really excited when Lizzie asked me to model on one of her workshops as I have always admired her modelling and photographic skills and I also found her extremely friendly, kind and down to earth since I have met her for the first time :).

From the very beginning I knew this workshop would be amazing! The theme Lizzie picked was something unique, different and pretty challenging for me as a model ( in a good way!) After I did my little research about the artist and his work, I was even more excited to challenge myself and learn something new!

When I arrived to the studio, we had a little introduction by Lizzie who explained to us what the workshop would be about. She was incredibly well organised, she exactly knew how to work through her ideas and concepts and how to organise a group of 5 photographers to make sure everyone learns something new and has enough time to explore their own ideas.

Throughout the whole day, Lizzie was just amazing to work with! She made sure we went through the most interesting ideas inspired by Ren Hang and she encouraged us to be creative and challenge our own ideas. At the same time, she was relaxed and laid back, there was always time for a little break and she was constantly making sure I was happy, comfortable with all themes and not too tired. I really appreciated that she cared about me as well as other photographers. She also made sure we were well fed and happy and prepared a decent amount of food for lunch, it was really delicious! Thank you! :)

Working with Lizzie was a great experience! She is incredibly talented, creative, knowledgeable about what she does and can put it all into practice. She is also a genuinely lovely person, chatty, enthusiastic, full of life with a great sense of humour:). She was working really hard all day changing sets, making sure we were all happy and helping us out if we needed it. Even though it was a long day, it was extremely enjoyable, I had so much fun, I have also learnt a lot and finally tried something new and unconventional. Thank you Lizzie!! :)

I would definitely recommend working with Lizzie .Thank you and looking forward to working with you again!:)

I have worked with Lizzie several times before and it has always been great. Some of my best images are of her or made with her help.

This was my first one to one session with Lizzie and, as I expected, it was great. I enjoyed it a lot, learned some more, and I am very pleased with the results.

I booked a half day tutorial with Lizzie for a specific technical session - shooting with flash in a non studio environment and all the fun that involves in a home space. I approached the session with an open mind; Lizzie challenged my shooting instincts at every stage, gently exposing my bad habits or poor judgement, while praising my better habits. As a consequence I learnt heaps. It was great fun too, Lizzie fizzes with creativity; everyday objects became props or light modifiers and every room is full of potential for a shoot. Thank you Lizzie, hope to work with you again sometime soon.

Unless you live on the moon you don't need me to tell you to work with Lizzie she is one of the best not just on PP> BUT she also does creative quirky workshops which are fab. A tended a paint workshop ran by Lizzie which was brilliant. Organised, ran and modelled by Lizzie. Got some great shots and met 3 other lovely people. RECOMMEND!!

Theme "White" … Wowwwwww

Such a Creative event organised by Lizzie Bayliss.

I have known and shoot with Lizzie for a number of years and it is just getting better and better.

Lizzie, apart of being a very confident and attractive Model, she is an amazing Photographer and I do keep learning from her.

Having Lizzie in front of my camera and at the same time giving me behind the camera advise is priceless and much appreciated.

Lizzie is adding so much to my Portofolio that I can not wait for her next casting.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! … again and again.

Really enjoyed a 1920s themed Hollywood shoot with Lizzie at Beacon Studio. She is an excellent model and so knowledgeable, great poses, friendly, no wonder she has so many excellent references and terrific images on here.

I attended a Ren Hang inspired shoot today ran by Lizzie, it was a great experience and Lizzie was very knowledgable and full of ideas and information.

I can highly recommend Lizzie and would have no hesitation in working with her again.

I was lucky enough to have attended Lizzie's Ren Hang Workshop today. Like her previous workshops that I have attended, Lizzie had researched the subject thoroughly, and with a clear passion. There were then several imaginative themed sets from the genre, which Lizzie set up. Lizzie provided a safe environment, for those who attended, to leave their comfort zone and produce some amazing creative results. Thanks Lizzie for an amazing day. I can recommend Lizzie's workshops to anyone looking to develop their work further. Oh I almost forgot the amazing lunch with a rather nice chocolate caterpillar!

Lizzie is authentic and genuinely motivated in her knowledge, skills and application of both modelling and photography. Throughout our shoot there was collaboration and a joint learning journey which was invaluable in every sense. Lizzie has excellent facilities for shoots and lights and their application. Her wardrobe was creative original and artistic. Lizzie is not just professional, creative and highly experienced but knows how to communicate as subject of photography and as an experienced photographer. She is an exceptional talent and beauty posing creatively and effortlessly. Recommended 150%

I had my second shoot with Lizzie last week. I feel really privileged to have the opportunity to work with her and to call her my friend. She is exceptional at what she does and I literally could just turn up and she would sort every aspect of the shoot out on her own and make sure I went home with amazing pictures.

I love working with lizzie so much because she has the most creative and most open mind about how a shoot can develop and you never know what you are going to end up shooting which is just the best way to work. she is very fun and very relaxed company on a shoot and you know she is completely in her element in this environment.

I really feel that she has helped me so much with how I think about photography and actually how I approach it. I completely trust her judgement and always value her opinions. I do hope to work with her many more times in the future as I always learn so much from our time together. She is an absolute one off and a 100% recommendation from me!

Yesterday I had my second shoot with Lizzie. As I found out and remembered from the first shoot, Lizzie is a superb professional in every way. She takes on her craft with utmost attention to detail. Her craft is not just the modelling, I am also referring to her photography skills should you invite her to use them (an invite that I am glad I gave to her.) I have had a look through the RAW images and can see we have some superb shots, a lot of which Lizzie gave me great advice on. I look forward to processing them as soon as I can :-)

On top of her wonderful modelling and photography skills Lizzie has a lovely friendly personality and a great sense of humour. It's very easy to build up a great rap ore with this lady. Something that we all know contributes to a very successful shoot. This was a six hour shoot and it felt more like three. Time flies by when you are having fun :-)

As before I can very highly recommend Lizzie and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Thanks Lizzie for a wonderful shoot and day.

Nervous as a kitten before my first shoot in a model's home. Needn't have worried as Lizzie was a brilliant host, great conversation and top brew. Poses really well without much direction and really has an eye for what looks good. Learned a lot from a very knowledgeable gal and got some very pleasing images. My only problem was choosing the best images out of the many we shot. Her home is very light and spacious and easy to shoot in. Can't wait to work with her again.

Lizzie is the ultimate professional, a model who really knows how to pose effortlessly and is very creative. Lizzie is also a photographer who understands studio lighting and even loaned me her camera when mine went faulty. Highly recommended you will learn something as well as get brilliant images. 5*

After my first shoot with Lizzie, I couldn't wait for another one so contacted he almost immediately to get another date in the diary which we duly did.

After or first shoot I realised that Lizzie was the perfect person to help me to realise some of more quirky and surreal ideas, which would get me out of my comfort zone.

The pre-shoot communication mainly coming up with weird ideas and Lizzie saying which ones were good and would work. The shoot itself was as good as the first one and she helped me turn my ideas into reality.

I look forward to any more shoots with this incredibly talented lady.

Lizzie has subsequently been mentoring me in the use of Photoshop and post processing in general and I now consider her to be a good friend.

Had a great day on Lizzie's 'Beauty In Dereliction' workshop, at the 'qwerky' Antwerp Mansion in South Manchester.

Lizzie produced a brilliantly organised shoot, and is a dream to work with, being really relaxed and easy going.

She moved from layout to layout, with creativity and was full of ideas, with keen interest in your photography, as both model and photographer.

The communication prior to the event was excellent, and I would not hesitate to recommend her Lizzie fantastic model and just a really nice person,

Brilliant day working with Lizzie, really engaging and easy to work with, which was especially helpful for me as I am only just starting with working with models and organised photoshoots. Her technical skills and advice with photography easily match her abilities as a model, and I would easily recommend working with her, and I look forward to attending another workshop with Lizzie soon. Communication with Lizzie was clear, quick and friendly - perfect for someone finding their feet like me!
