Today Tess and I worked together for the fourth time. Tess is an absolute joy to work with; she in totally professional, really works hard to deliver 'the shot', and contributes immensely to the creative process.

During excellent pre-shoot comms we formulated some ideas of what we wanted to achieve.

Together, for it was very much a collaborative process, we worked on some creative lighting techniques to produce images with atmosphere and the results were better that I had imagined.

Involving Tess in the process and taking time to explain what you are hoping to achieve and then methodically working together to fine-tune the shot pays dividends.

I cannot wait for the fifth time we will work together. The results get better and better.

Thank you Tess, I'm already starting to think of ideas for our fifth photoshoot.

So just over a week ago I placed a casting for a water full shoot that Tess reply to she had ticked all the boxes that was asked for in the casting call.

Communication right from the start was perfect, very easy to plan the shoot.

With the difficult location tess was not at all phased. She bring a Very good and positive vibe to the shoot that made this difficult shoot do a ball, great outfits ECT

Absolutely Flawless in her performance pose well and works to the camera. And every one left the shoot on a massive high.

What cant I say about Tess😇,

We had an incredible afternoon shooting in 2 locations. which one was choosen at the first location. Tess was laid back about the whole shoot. Happy to rake directions and also happily and naturally suggested and tried her own little ideas aswell.

Instantly knew the shoot would be fun but still professional.

Cannot wait to see how far Tess Grows with as she models. Has a lot of potential am really excited to see her talent blow other photographers minds.

I can not wait to work with Tess again!

Thanks for not laughing so much or so hard when I accidentally slipped. 🤣

Cannot wait to shoot again with you again😊

Must admit Im starting to lose count of the number of shoots Ive had with Tess since we first shot together only a couple of months ago, and that should tell you something.

Tess took me to a location she knew, and Ill admit I was a little reticent initially, but I was a fool, the location was outstanding, and Tess was buzzing with exceptional ideas, so many that we are hopefully going back (if I can find room in her calendar) as we didnt get time to finish them.

Tess has got to be one of the hardest working models I know, both in the preparation before the shoot, and on the day. This shoot style was a little different than Tess's usual yet she was ready when I picked her up with awesome hair and makeup to suit the theme perfectly.

Tess is only happy when you as the photographer is happy with the images, and she wont accept 2nd best for an image, either from her perspective or the photographer. That said she is also one of the most easy models to work with as her enthusiasm is infectious

Tess is an exceptional person, laid back, down to earth, with a wonderful sense of humour.

Obviously I 100% recommend Tess to anyone. You will have an extremely productive shoot and a massively enjoyable one too.

Had a second shoot with Tess as I was so pleased with the first one.

Tess brought a great range of outfits and was her usual enthusiastic self through out the shoot.

I was very pleased with the end results after editing.

Highly recommended, you won’t be disappointed.

Great early morning sunrise shoot with Tess in Lyme Regis bay. She very kindly searched out suitable locations for the particular shoot we had in mind a few days beforehand and chose one that was perfect. She came prepared with a few items of clothing although this was essentially a sheer/art nude shoot.

It is difficult to believe Tess only started shooting a few months ago; certainly her posing would never give it away. Artistic, sensual, sometimes a little erotic which she delivers with confidence and bravado - the occasional dog walker or beach comber never phased her and she was determined it would not interrupt her work and creativity.

Tess is a star and is highly recommended by me to all photographers, particularly those that like to shoot nudes in the landscape which she seems to be making a speciality. But I suspect she is just as good in the studio.

I had a lovely shoot with Tess down at my favourite location, Warleigh Weir.

She came well prepared with a great selection of outfits that worked really well in the morning light & location.

Tess required very little direction, knew exactly how to get the best pose for the camera and followed additional direction really well.

We got through a healthy number of outfits, and even had time to get warm after a few dips in the cold water. It was do worth it!

Photo came out fantastically well.

I would definitely work with Tess again, and recommend her to anyone looking for a confident & positive person to work with.

I had an great shoot with Tess at the Art Asylum in Weymouth. Chatty and lively, she came well prepared for the shoot and knew what I wanted as communications were very good beforehand.

Tess worked hard to achieve some excellent results, interpreting my ideas and adding her own input which made for some superb finished images.

Definitely Recommended and I hope we can work together again.

This was my first shoot with Tess and I am sure it won’t be my last. All pre comms were good and she arrived with one small bag of just the right gear for my shoot. She works hard ensuring I got the shots I wanted and she is more than capable of free posing. She is very friendly and chatty and the time passed really quickly. We got some great shots and I am more than happy. I would recommend her 100% and I am sure will work together again soon. 🤗🤗

What a fantastic model Tess Lacey is, it's quite shocking just how good she actually is considering the relatively short time she has been doing this. She was an absolute star getting into the location and took the lead. I hope to work with her again soon... 5 stars thanks Richard

Had an excellent shoot with Tess in a nearby wood. We started early, an hour after sunrise, and were able to get in three hour's shooting, with rain pending. One advantage of a early start was avoiding the inevitable dog-walkers, so we had the location to ourselves.

Good pre-shoot comms, and all went to plan. Tess brought a wide variety of outfits, and different outfits from the previous shoot.

Tess is an outdoors sort, and doesn't mind getting damp or muddy!

We got around a number of locations in the wood, with constantly changing light, a precursor of a storm that arrived later in the day.

Tess is easy to work with, and poses naturally with little need for guidance.

Would definitely recommend Tess, and would welcome future shoots.

A great shoot with Tess today. Arrived, in good time, well prepared, great comms, lovely outfits and a fantastic attitude. Tess is an absolute delight to work with, she has a creative flair and will get that extra 'look' from an outfit that you hadn't even considered!

Tess puts a lot of effort into her shoots, and is a delight to be around. I enjoyed every minute of today's first shoot and I look forward to more in the future. Most definitely recommended to all, without hesitation, and I look forward to our next creative fashion session!

I met Tess yesterday in less than ideal conditions. It was a grey day and blowing a gale of wind, But Tess's enthusiasm brought sunshine to the experience! We had a great shoot and Tess needed no direction. She was full of creative ideas and moved seamlessly from one pose to the next. It was a privilege to work with her. I can highly recommend Tess and look forward to working with her again.

Had a great shoot with Tess today as she took time out from from her Cornwall holiday.

She had enthusiasm by the bucket loads and was very easy to work with.

Took direction well but equally able to produce a variety of creative poses.

We bounced ideas off each other all afternoon and the time flew by.

Creative, fun, with a professional attitude.

Highly recommended.

My 3rd shoot with Tess today. I answered her casting after she had a last minute cancellation, and with 15 minutes we had arranged a shoot. Her Pre Comms are some of the best Ive seen.

On the day, Tess arrived early, but within 5 minutes was ready to start shooting, with her hair and make up spot on, despite just coming from a shoot involving paint. She understood the concept of the shoot (which we had planned to be a rain shoot as the original forecast was for heavy rain), but she was fully prepared for the actual weather we had, which was completely devoid of rain. Her outfit choice was exquisite.

Tess needs no direction at all, but is completely happy to follow direction if you have a specific look. Tess also has some outstanding ideas for sets and styles. Ive shot with her for 15 hours now, in just over a week, and she has given me so many ideas, some of which I doubted would work, and I was wrong every time.

Tess is a special person, intelligent, genuine, humorous, honest and down to earth. I 100% recommend Tess to anyone, she will improve your photography, it doesn't matter who you are. She is one of the best.

Thanks Tess for another excellent shoot, and I cant wait for our next shoot in September.

Today I feel truly blessed after a few hours shooting with Tess after she applied to my recent casting call.

Preshoot communication was perfect, so much so that Tess sent me a mood board that was quite simply the best I have ever seen. We decided that we would shoot ideas around the mood board and then finish up with the set I had planned. Wow, what a shoot it turned out to be.

Over the years I have been lucky enough to shoot with some of the very best models around. I have never shot with anyone who blew me away to the same extent that Tess managed. I have absolutely no reservations in saying that Tess very comfortably sits in the top 5 best models that I have ever worked with.

To say she is a total natural would be a massive understatement.

It is no exaggeration to say that Tess is a pose machine, but she is so much more. Her ability to interpret the exact mood she wants to convey is quite simply outstanding. I honestly can’t think of anyone who is able to use shape, pose and expression to c apture the right mood any better than Tess does. I was genuinely shocked when Tess told me she had only been modelling for a few months. 😮

Tess looks stunning, she has a lovely willowy figure, a beautiful face, great makeup and hair skills, she really is the full package. To top everything off Tess was happy to get really ready messy, just as well because I spent half an hour throwing paint at her. 😂. Tess is also such a pleasure to be around.

So, would I recommend Tess? What do you think, an absolute superstar. The best advice I can give is to book Tess while you can because there will soon be a long waiting list.

Thank you so much for one of the best, and most fun shoots I have ever done Tess. I really hope that we can do it all again soon. 👍

Tess is exceptional. There is no other way to describe her. Tess stepped up to do our second shoot together after a cancellation. Im so glad she did. During her brilliant pre shoot comms, it became obvious Tess wasnt available to do the shoot as I had originally planned it, however within minutes we had worked out a compromise to allow me to do the full 8 hour shoot, showing Tess willingness to be flexible and how keen she was to help out and shoot.

I had high expectations for Tess after our first shoot together, and, if anything she exceeded those expectations. Her ability to pose effortlessly, and her eye for a shot are amazing. She fully understood and bought into the shoot themes, and offered additional themes and ideas which were exceptional. Tess arrived at the shoot with exactly the right amount of outfits, which were exactly what the shoot styles and themes required.

Tess is an intelligent, down to earth, hard working person with a great sense of humour, and a desire to better with every shot. Tess is also one of the most optimistic people I know and has huge faith in the photographers she works with to get the shot, she will encourage you to work harder and better, which can only be a good thing.

I feel like we have been shooting together for years, rather than having just done 2 shoots (so far, we have 2 more planned over the coming months).

I cant recommend Tess enough and Im really interested to see where she takes her modelling career in the coming years, as I believe she can go as far as she wants to.

Thank you so much Tess, you are amazing.
