It was an absolute pleasure to work with Melani again. Melani is extremely reliable, professional and easy to work with and I would definitely recommend her. She is very patient and responds well to direction. Thank-you for another great shoot!

I had the pleasure of shooting with Mel today at Lewislloyd's new venue "the semi derelict island studio". We were the lucky two to be the first to shoot at this amazing spot. Mel is an undiscovered talent. In my opinion she would not look out of place on the cover of vogue magazine. She is totally down to earth and has brains as well as beauty. I could not recommend her highly enough and hope to work with her again in the not too distant future.

I recently worked with Melani, for the second time, on a folklore inspired editorial. Melani has a great attitude which makes her such a pleasure to work with. A total professional, she braved the elements and took direction well. Highly recommended, thank you for another great shoot!

I wasn't sure if we would top the first (Black Swan) shoot as that was so successful, but I think we may have done as well or even better! Melani is so professional, polite and creative. She isn't afraid to speak up if she sees something that may make the make up or picture better which I appreciate as I'm still fairly new to this. She is also very patient whilst having her make up done and waiting for me to faff around with lights or settings which puts me at ease, to add to all this she looks amazing and poses wonderfully. I left our second shoot with a serious post shoot buzz and can't wait to work with her again! Highly recommended :)

I originally met Melani at a fashion show in 2016. She is, clearly, strikingly beautiful and carries herself well.

It took a few months, but I did finally manage to to arrange a creative shoot with her. Communications and prep was as expected, excellent.

Professional from beginning to end. Also very warm and friendly.

She takes direction well and is open to ideas which she embraced enthusiastically.

Without doubt we will work together again and I recommend her highly, for shoots and shows equally.

Another great shoot with Melani this morning resulting in some really nice images. Super communicator and charming as ever Melani is highly recommended. Thanks again Mel for an enjoyable session.

As ever, it was an absolute pleasure to work with Melani, who is reliable, professional and easy to work with. Melani's enthusiasm is obvious and despite being extremely busy, still paid attention to planning and preparing outfits. The shoot was more street based, especially focused on capturing images using available light at dusk or early evening; this is a relatively new style of photography for me, which I found a little challenging, but Melani was very patient and hard working. I'm very pleased with the results and hope to work with Melani again in the future. Highly recommended.

After a few messages etc, Melani & I finally managed to find a n afternoon we could both shoot! I was so pleased, as only stumbled across by accident, I was looking for a local model who could pose so I could practice more natural light situations, I never intended it to be anymore than a shoot for me, but when she arrived I was quite taken by her beautiful features, her total ability to pose freely together with a wonderful nature and kindness nothing was too much trouble .

Melani arrived on time and her communications has always been faultless, Melani is an exceptional lady, very polite, punctual and a joy to be around, I'm thrilled that even though I was not really going for a modelling shoot we ended up with some amazing images and hope we can find time to accomplish another sometime shoot soon. I can highly recommend Melani to anyone. Thank you Marin

I had the pleasure of photographing Melani in Richmond park last week. She showed up on time and was a real joy to work with. She was full of ideas on poses, had a great range of costumes and went beyond normal expectations without complaint and always with a smile on her face.

I have got my best portfolio shots with her as a model and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone else. I would love to work with Melani again.

I worked with Melani a few months ago with me as the MUA and photographer. She is obviously very passionate about creating interesting images and had lots of moodboards for me to look through. We agreed on a black Swan look which worked perfectly! Melani was polite, organised, helpful, a great model and an absolute dream to work with. I look forward to shooting with her again! Highly recommend :)

Had my first shoot with Melani, and what a pleasure it was. Melani is such a beautiful model, and a lovely person to work with. She’s chatty, hard working and very professional. Pre communications were perfect. When I arrived she was ready to start with outfits, jewellery, and shoes all laid out. We had decided on a natural look to the makeup, and this was done to a very high standard.

She has a natural ability to move from pose to pose with or without direction. Though we were not lucky with the weather the shoot produced many great images and we are already talking about working together in the future.

I would highly recommend Melani! You and your camera will love her!

Had a fantastic shoot this afternoon with Melani. All pre-shoot communication was great and Melani came to the shoot prepared and ready to go. Completely professional in attitude and a total pro at flow posing, as well as taking direction. A pleasure to work with. Highly, highly recommended and hope to work with again.

Just finished my first shoot with the lovely Melani, she was very professional and prompt with her pre comms, also very understanding when I had to re arrange due to a broken bone. She is obviously very creative and passionate about modelling, she sent me various mood boards to choose a look from. I am glad I chose the black swan look as it was something new for me and she rocked it! Melani was very patient when having her make up done and pulled the look off perfectly! Amazing model and I would love to work with her again, highly recommended :D

I was lucky enough to complete my second shoot with Melani earlier this week. What can I say; Melani does a brilliant job! Highly professional and reliable, excellent comms, very easy to work with, needs little direction, she is an absolute natural. I was very pleased with the results and hope to work with her again.

I can't recommend Melani highly enough!

Had my first shoot with Melani today. I so hope it won't be my last.

Comms pre-shoot were excellent, I gave her the sketchiest of outlines of what I wanted from the shoot and she delivered in spades.

Melani needs little direction, she is happy to throw her own ideas into the shoot. I had to force myself to stop shooting otherwise I would have just kept on all day.

An absolute star, I really hope to be able to work with Melani again soon.

My first shoot with Melani yesterday. Melani is brilliant; her comms are excellent (perhaps to be expected for a Hospitality and Tourism Management student) and she is reliable and professional. Melani brought a range of outfits with her, is very comfortable and natural in front of the camera and was more than happy responding to direction as well as contributing her own ideas. I hope to be able to work with Melani again in the future. Highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with Melani today!

Melani was fantastic, pre shoot communication was great, Melani came to the shoot on time, with loads of outfits to change into, make up and hair was perfect!

Melani worked really well without too much direction, when direction was given Melani responded positively and enthusiastically! From the shoot we got some great images which I am really happy with!

Melani bought a lot of different styles and looks to the shoot and nothing was too much trouble!

Had a great time working with Melani who was an absolute pleasure as a model and highly recommend her to all levels of photographer. I am sure I will work with Melani again in the future!

Well, the deferred bluebell shoot eventually happened at the weekend and once again top marks to Melani who was obviously keeping and eye on the weather forecast and suggested bringing it forward to catch some better weather.

We found some great bluebell locations, bright yellow rape field, riverside and castle ground is Guildford.

Melani gives a great deal of herself to create shots with a range of emotions from serious to sexy to "let's have a laugh". She is great company and innovative to work with. Once again, highly recommended and certainly hope to be working with her again.

Melani is a star. A charming, amusing and creative young woman who welcomed me to her small room where with good will and imagination we managed to get a really nice set of images. Melani is confident once she gets to know the photographer, takes instructions well and contributes her own repertoire of poses. Pre-shoot communications were good and all went well and on time. Couldn't ask for more. Today was going to be a bluebell shoot but was rained off so a new date is already set. Thanks for everything Melani and good luck with your modelling.
