After reading Lizzies great book the next best thing was arranging a shoot.

Excellent way to spend a Sunday on one of Lizzies Events it flew by and no direction needed and Lizzie was giving good advice to the photographers.

A few of the guys had shot numerous times with Lizzie and see why.

I would strongly recommend working with Lizzie.

Thanks very much Lizzie.

Keep it Classy

Had a first Shoot with Lizzie at her home studio. Not only is lizzie a fantastic model she also gives you great input from her photographer side of the shoot. She also gave me great constructive critique which is most welcomed an a lot will be taken away from this what was more a tutorial an I really enjoy it. I hope i managed time get some what I’d call great images from it but know how I can improve as it was my main point to working with Lizzie. It’s a very relaxed shoot working with her an her home studio is great. If you get the chance to go on one of her tutorials then I’d suggest you do it. You won’t be disappointed. Highly Recommend. An looking forward to working with Lizzie again.

Thanks for a great afternoon It’s was much appreciated x

I have worked with Lizzie on a number of occasion now and can't recommend her enough. All of the shoots have been incredibly enjoyable producing fantastic photos. Lizzie is welcoming, warm, and friendly. These qualities are dwarfed however by her professionalism, her modelling and photography knowledge, and all of her experience in the industry.

She is punctual, professional, flexible and a pleasure to shoot.

Lizzie is an excellent coach and model that I look forward to being able to photograph again in the future.

I have just finished a four hour "home shoot" with Lizzie. I put home in quotes, because in her home, she has more Bowen lights than you can shake a stick at, every modifier known to man, grids galore, plug sockets in easy reach in every room, loads of natural light and good old fashioned tidyness that makes it easy to set up a shoot. Lizzie's "home shoot" is more like a fab studio!

Lizzie impressed by totally rocking every set. We covered bodyscaping where she was an ace and taught me a lot, cheeky pin-up where she matched fun facial expressions with a sexy outfit, beautiful glamour, sexy sheer and then when we changed to a couple of Hollywood-style portraits, she immediately switched into the role and became a movie star. She is a chameleon and able to turn a lose idea into a perfect set of images.

In between taking pictures, we talked about art and photography. Being both a photographer and a general artist, Lizzie is very knowledgeable and articulate, and the chat was a great part of the shoot.

All in all... super model, definitely recommended.

Thank you for all your help Lizzie, I look forward to shooting again.

I had the pleasure of having a shoot with Lizzie this evening. And enjoyed every minute. It was so good that the time just went so fast.

Lizzie is so easy to get on with. She has such a bubbly personality, and is so charming. She made me feel welcome from the minute she opened the door until I left.

Lizzie is very knowledgeable and helpful with settings, ensuring we got the shots I wanted.

I would 100% recommend Lizzie to anybody looking to shoot with such a professional model.

I hope Lizzie will have me back for another shoot in the near future.

Thank you for a wonderful couple of hours Lizzie. Hope to see you again :-)

I first came across Lizzie shortly after taking up photography and had decided to concentrate on shooting with models. Somebody recommended Lizzie as being not only a great model but also someone who was incredibly knowledgeable about the technical aspects of photography and lighting, as well as post processing. I did some more research and then contacted her and she agreed to a creative art nude shoot. The pre-communication was excellent (although I probably drove her mad with too many messages).

The shoot was everything and more than I had hoped for. We booked a large space that contained nothing more than a table and a few chairs. Lizzie brought her lighting set up and some props and I bought some props. I have never seen anyone who could be so creative with so little to work with! She listened to my ideas and improved on them and made the shoot a truly great, fun experience.

Lizzie is a wonderfully warm, kind person with a great sense of humour, as well as being a fantastic model, photographer and tutor and I recommend that everyone, who as the chance, should work with Lizzie.

I had an awesome shoot with Lizzie at two different locations.

Lizzie is always very professional from communications prior to shoot to working on the shoot. She is an all round beautiful person and is a joy and fun to work. The biggest gain is Lizzie's immense knowledge of modeling and photography including camera setup and lighting.

Very highly recommended to professionals as well as to photographers who wants to gain in depth knowledge of photography.

Looking forward to working with Lizzie again.

Lizzie has got to be one of the most inspiring people I know. She's so talented at photography and running interesting workshops.

I modelled for her 'Francesca woodman' workshop, and undoubtedly it was one of my favourite workshops I've modelled for.

The location was perfect, her teaching is spot on and everyone got results both us and they were proud of.

We worked together on some videography work too and she is talented with that too, creating some fun and conceptual ideas. I love the creativity and talent that she has, it's infectious and she inspires me every time I see her.

And also a great model, perfect posing in every genre. She brings a unique twist to each pose and conveys something interesting in everything she does.

I've known her for some years now and really can't recommend her enough as a photographer, teacher and also an incredible person. :)

Speechless!!!

I have known Lizzie for years … shoot with her before … and been at Sandon Studio many, many times.

But today, was the "First Time" that Lizzie was "The Model" and "The Tutor" … and I took "Full" advantage of "Her" :)

The Theme and the Low Light condition was totally out of my comfort zone, and something that I have never shoot before.

Yet Lizzie was patient, helped me with all the technicalities and she was always checking that I was getting the results that I wanted.

She was shooting with Angel, and her "Chemistry" … "Positivity" … and "Creativity" was just from another Planet.

Without any doubt … Best Workshop ever.

Lizzie … today … you have got my Photography … to another "Level"

Speechless !!!!!!

A totally amazing experience! I had the privilege of attending a workshop ran by Lizzie along with Angel. It was the best shoot I have ever done! Lizzie was relaxed and yet totally professional. The theme of the shoot was Francesca Woodman Inspired. Lizzie and Angel were really creative and we made so many brilliant images together. Lizzie is a photographer as well as a model and gave advice on camera settings etc.

I can only say if you have not worked with Lizzie then YOU MUST! I cannot wait to shoot again with her!

Manchester Street Photography – Another great night with both Lizzie and Angel. Well planned with props in a city landscape which gave another dimension to the shoot. So much so there was a small audience gathering. Ideas were many and shared between all which created a relaxed but professional atmosphere. If you get chance get on these shoots – even if you know Manchester well as it will give you a different perspective of where you can shoot and the quality of images you can get.

Many thanks to Lizzie and Angel. Keep up the good work. An excellent night was had by all.

A warm welcome from Lizzie for the group 1920's, 40's and 60's Hollywood Portrait Workshop. Professionally organised and enthusiastically delivered. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Lizzie has a wide range of talents and shares her passion for art.

Lizzie worked diligently to make sure we had the opportunity to have a variety of scenes to photograph. Like the many positive references about Lizzie I would highly recommended her workshops. Many thanks to the group as well.

Many thanks Lizzie continue the excellent work.

I joined two other photographers for an afternoon of 20s, 40s and 60s portraiture yesterday. I've shot with Lizzie several times and as expected the shoot was thoroughly enjoyable and professionally organised from start to finish. I got some beautiful images and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lizzie to any photographer, no matter what their skill level.

Great shoot with Lizzie on one of her workshops.

Pre-shoot comms were excellent, and every was well-organized on the day.

Lizzie was happy to help with settings, composition hints etc.

I came away with lots of good images and a better understanding of the genre - what more could one ask for?

Highly recommended!

Had the pleasure of joining Lizzie on a group shoot in Manchester this week, and it really was a lot of fun! Limited to a small group, we all had sufficient time to create a number of set up's during the evening rather than shooting Paparazzi style, and i'm sure everyone came away with some great images.

Manchester city centre was easy enough to drive to (from the M62 anyway) so look out for these events coming up, especially if you are wanting to work with Lizzie who had various clothing changes, and different locations to use to give a good variety of images. Lizzie worked her socks off for everyone moving from pose to pose and trying ideas out that the photographers had.

hopefully we will work together again soon :-)

Thanks

With 500+ references it seems superflouous to add another glowing reference for Lizzie so I will be brief. Excellent before shoot communications over sets and clothing turned into fabulous reality on the day, superb posing incorporating great facial expressions, helped me out on lighting when I couldn't get what I was looking for on one set, and the time sped by. A complete star who will now be on my want to work with again and again list.

Working with Lizzie is a joyful experience.

We have been chatting for a while and we clicked immediately. I love her dedication to this photography lark, she knows you truly only get out what you put in and she is always there with the kitchen sink at the ready. So you know you are in a pair of very safe hands.

Lizzie looks amazing and is a very natural and creative model, she also has a great knowledge and interest in photography and art more widely so can bring so many ideas and inspirations to a shoot. She is a very relaxed and fun person to spend some time with, her house is also excellent to work in and she does a very nice 'posh' coffee.

I will definitely be working lots more with Lizzie in the future as I know we could fill multiple shoots with just the ideas we discussed this week alone. A tip top model and person, she should be on every togs 'want to work with' list.

Cheers Lizzie!

A memorable shoot with Lizzie at Sandon. We experimented with low key bodyscapes and some garden sheer portraits... Always a joy to work with this very talented model. Many thanks Lizzie. Our images have prooved popular once again.. Highly recommended Ray H.

I had my first shoot with Lizzie just under 2 weeks ago at her partner’s home - a beautiful 3 storey house in the suburbs of Manchester - it was a super place to photograph at :)

Lizzie is friendly and stunningly beautiful, a fantastic combination. I had booked her for 4 hours, she worked perfectly the whole time (even when I had started to flag!!)

As well as being a fantastic model she is an accomplished photographer which helped tremendously when I was after a shot, posing and making suggestions to get that ‘perfect shot’ - which I’m hoping I did with all the effort Lizzie put into her work.

I must also comment about the lovely cups of coffee she made for me, they were just right for me.

Lizzie is a joy to work with and you do get fabulous images... I’m still working on them, I took many that day :)

I highly recommend her to all levels of photographers, thanks again Lizzie, was a delight to work with you and hope we can work together again in the near future :)

I had a great time with Lizzie on one of her tutorial days at her home. I wasn’t sure how we would fill the whole day but the time seemed to fly by. It was really useful working with someone who is both a photographer and model and she saw shooting opportunities I simply wouldn’t have thought of. She’s fun, professional and really easy to get along with. And she loves selective colour popping. A definite recommendation and will hopefully work with her again one day.
