References for Leona Lissoni

Photographer Phil 1

Leona is one of the most professional and stunningly beautiful models I've had the privilege to work with. She needed no direction and moved seamlessly from one pose to the next. Leona came up with many great ideas for poses and had an array of outfits ready to choose from. She is very polite and hard working but also has a great sense of fun. I am already looking forward to our next shoot.

Professional, courteous and intelligent - Leo added her unique flare to the shoot and made it her own with great ideas, an incredible connection with the camera lens and also some silly randomness that could never be scripted - but improved the shots a great deal for sure!

Not only is Leo polite, conscientious and a hard worker - she was very evidently keen to add her personality and fun sense of humour to the shots which worked even better than I think she has realised.

The communications from Leo have been superb and maybe the best communications I ever known. I was sent detailed messages and kept regularly informed as to her arrangements and travel progression for which I thank her.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Leo and hope she'll return for more fun and silliness.

I've shot with Leona, numerous times and regard her as a friend as well as an outstanding model and fellow creative. she always brings so much more to a shoot than expected. So earlier in the year when I secured a place on a day shoot at a mansion house Leona was my first choice as model. True to form she had prepared well including hiring an exclusive designer dress shipped from America. She had numerous dresses with her and was happy to let other models use what she wasn't. She is amazingly friendly and vivacious and infects everyone with her creative positivity and thereon in the creative juices just flow. She has a good eye for what makes a good shot and inputs well. She is stunningly beautiful and has an hour glass figure, full lips and jet black hair which she can do in versatile styles.

I'll never tire of shooting with Leona. It is always a privilege and an honour. Needles to say I highly recommend this incredible model to all.

I worked with Leona on a magic themed shoot.Leona is a beautiful, talented, knowledgeable, helpful, calm and friendly woman, who is a natural in front of the camera and very creative.

She brought a variety of outfits, was really enthusiastic about the shoot, was able to make a stage illusion her own and made me feel more at ease with the world.

I would definitely recommend her.

Did a gangster and moll shoot with Leona last night at Ian's Studio in Stockport. It was fantastic. Clients went away happy and we were able to focus on headshots for Leona and I and then three quarter length shots of the both of us and then film noir for the last hour. Terrific model, great company and fantastic look. Highly recommend.

Worked with Leona on Saturday for the first time, prior to the shoot communications had been very good so me expectations were very high that a good shoot would take place. She arrived ready to shoot and we talked about the plans for the day and looked at outfits that she had brought with her and the ones we had at the studio for her.

She is a great model to work with, lots of ideas and suggestions to improve shots, the results just flowed with each set that we created on the day, lots of really great images and the lighting setups worked to perfection with each one that we did.

The time passed quickly on the shoot but by the second set was completed we were already talking about plans for a second shoot and the results were speaking for themselves.

She is a great person, confident, well able to see a good shot and work to get it better, she is also fun to work with which is a joy in itself. I now have lots of ideas for our next shoot together and I can recommend her to other photographers without any hesitation at all. Brilliant model, do not miss working with her and a great person too. A+++++

Shot with Leo last Friday.

She is a whirling dervish! Once we had booked our shoot it was all go! A quick swap of ideas, wardrobe and location sorted we were on the way to shot one, no sooner had we cracked that one we were off again, wardrobe transformation and location two where Leo scaled the heights and hopped into her poses whilst I was still pondering my f stops and wondering if I am getting a bit old for this malarkey! Youthful enthusiasm won out and her posing and expression brought life to the shots!

Once I have recovered I would love to shoot with her again!

Highly recommended.

Had another shoot with the wonderful Leona Lissoni this evening. She braved the dangers of motorbike travel in torrential rain after my transport broke - and was fantastic. As usual she was well prepared, looked stunning and was great to chat to. I'll be shooting with her again - book her while you can!

Leo is an excellent model.

Booking her was delightfully straightforward.

Arriving to shoot she was already looking great and ready to start.

Conversation, patience and empathy was spot on.

Her posing and understanding of lighting was top notch.

A pleasure to work with, and very much recommended.

Mr_Wilson

Leo responded to a last minute casting call and after a brief chat we had something organised.

She was fun to work with and very easy to get on with!

I was introduced to public photography in Manchesters central library and we probably raised a few eyebrows :)

I can't recommend Leo enough, she was fantastic!!

Hopefully we will work together again in he future.

My first shoot with Leo. Will it be my last? Hell no!

Arrived in Leeds immaculately made up and ready to rock. After a brief chat and outfit selection we got down to work and shot an impressive 7 looks with lighting variations on most in a little under 3 hours.

Leo has a very striking look - cheekbones many women would kill for, and a very expressive face which just kept on giving to the camera.

As a result we shot a ton of very different looks, all with hugely usable images (including a set Leo wasn't sure worked when we shot it).

We laughed, talked, ate and shot in a very relaxed manner - my kind of shoot all with a decent soundtrack to it all.

Leo brings a great attitude to a shoot ready to work, brimming with her own ideas and a killer look to help elevate your port.

Very simple and easy recommendation.

Till the next time my dear!

Just had another fab shoot with Leona, because she's worth it.

Confident, gorgeous and sexy, you probably owe yourself a shoot with her.

I could have died and gone to heaven, it was quarter past 11, on a Saturday in1999"

Jamiroquai (Ages ago)

Apart from that it’s almost spot on.

It was 11.15 (supposed to be 09.15). She had brought some amazing heels, I am told.

They were still on the 08.58 to London. If you see a lady beggar with fabulous shoes on Victoria Station platform, you know where they came from.

I also promised to kill her in an imaginative way.

Epic fail, we ran out of time.

But enough of this negativity.

Put it this way, I have photographed nearly 200 girls.

Leo is already in my top 5.

What’s not to like? Gorgeous, friendly and with hanging space for 2 wet duffel coats.

I am unsure whether to marry her or kidnap her, but either way. at my age, I’d have to have a sit down and she’d escape.

I’ve decided to ask her to come back nicely AND SHE’S AGREED.

COOL!

Book her before someone else does.

Once again an absolute gem to work with great fun and got some shots to match, not ideal conditions but made the best of it and got some good shots, couldn't say a bad word

Had the pleasure of working with Leona twice in the last 12 months and she is fantastic. Fun to work with and knows her stuff. 100% recomend.

Muffled screams

Just had a last min shoot with leona and what can I say. One of the coolest models I've worked with so far, other than being very attractive she is so laid back and very easy to get along with. Welcomed me to her home with a complimentary coffee and home made rum (which hits the spot) she is a girl that knows exactly where she is going and has a great outlook on life, totally got her head screwed on and there is nothing she has not done and at such a young age too. We had a good laugh trying to get her in some of the positions and with it being the type of shoot it was she didn't complain the once and really went for it. I HIGHLY recommend leona to and tog. I could write a paragraph of compliments. Hope to work with her again and thanks for the last min booking x

Rebecca Juliet Bridal

Leona is a fantastic model; I booked her to do a shoot for my new bridal wear range recently and her communication beforehand was brilliant and she was on time. As you can see from her photos; she is truly beautiful but also a great personality....and absolute pleasure to be around for the day and really funny too! She worked really really hard; including walking barefoot on gravel in the freezing cold and humoured me and my lack of experience doing these kinds of shoots:) I hope I will work with Leona again and would absolutely recommend her. Thank you so much Leona for everything. Rx

My first photoshoot with the very lovely Gabriella at a swimming pool location.I brought Gabriella and Katie together for this shoot, they had never met before but bonded very quickly ,and throughout the shoot the rapport between them was exceptional. Gabriella looked fabulous and she worked very hard from start to finish ,this shows up well on the finished images.

It was an absolute pleasure working with both girls, and in particular, I thank you very much Gabriella.

Highly recommended model.
