Tigerbelle came out to play again yesterday ...

We had arranged this shoot since the beginning of the year and it was worth the wait.

Tigerbelle is a fantastic model, with her posing ability matched by her sense of humour, work ethic and desire to correct miss-used apostrophes.

We were working in challenging low-light situations, which Tigerbelle took in her stride, and went beyond the call to ensure that the best possible images were available.

It was a long day - but totally worth it.

If you get the chance to shoot the Tigerbelle - take it.

I watched with anticipation as she elegantly rounded the corner, all 24 wheels clattering on the metal track slowly coming to a halt, yes, the train was on time, the sky was blue with fluffy white clouds and ,the sun was shining, although in Scotland that can be short lived, then there was a red streak heading up the stairs! But I digress...

I had a recent co shoot location shoot with Tigerbell and Stu H, that was mostly organised between Tigerbell and Stu.

Tigerbelle is very easy to get along with, fun, chatty and, with a great sense of humour, we come from the same area so we had some common ground which was a good icebreaker if indeed that was needed.

Tigerbell worked flawlessly in the usual far from ideal surroundings, weather conditions and temperatures that often go hand in hand with our location shoots, Tigerbells can easily produce an array of poses as well as being very able to take direction and having the ability to interact well with her surroundings to good effect, she is also athletic, we ended the day with some dancy beach shots, thank you for a great day!

I would recommend Tigerbell in a heartbeat to anyone that is inserted in working with her.

What a good thing to have worked with Tigerbelle again, and to have enjoyed her company. Tigerbelle stayed with us during her recent Scottish tour, and we both (my wife and I) really enjoyed the time with her. Nobody works harder on a shoot, or is more fun to have around.

It was this ladies amazing hair that first brought her to my attention a while back, so when the opportunity arose to do a shoot i knew it was my chance to get lots of fabulous hair footage, Tigerbelle gave me lots of superb poses on the three locations we visited doing all that was asked of her, with this being my first shoot with her i perhaps did not use her full potential to get mind blowing shots, but her past modelling experiences certainly gave me lots of pointers on what could be achieved for future photo shoots, hopefully one day i will be able to do a shoot on her home soil as that would so rock, yes this very talented model certainly made it such a wonderful day which i will remember for a long long time.

Tigerbelle is a first rate model and my second shoot with her only confirmed this to me... beautifully toned and with a posing ability and agility to suit pretty much any mood and location. Although I was somewhat daunted by the prospect of a 4am start to our shoot and a challenging trek up and down hills, slippery paths and assorted rocks and boulders, it was all worth it as Tigerbelle took me to a series of locations that could have come straight out of Jurassic Park! A rugged, barely accessible coastline interspersed with rock falls, a red shingle beach complete with a waterfall, woodland resembling a tropical rainforest and imposing cliffs shrouded in mist, all that was missing were pterodactyls circling overhead and the sound of velociraptors stalking us through the forest! My legs still ache today and they probably will do for a day or two to come, but the experience was everything I had hoped for. Tigerbelle is such a pleasure to work with, she seems to have an instinctive understanding when it comes to composing a shot and developing a theme which made things flow really smoothly as we bounced ideas off each other. And just to top off a fabulous shoot, today we achieved an FPI from our previous shoot together back in March this year! So here's to many more (shoots together, definitely, and FPIs, hopefully!)

Totally recommended by me :-)

I have to admit to being a bit slow in getting this reference up, but it gave me the chance to really look at our images and confirm they are as good as i had hoped...and , oh boy, they are !!

I'm so lucky that Mel and i get to shoot on a regular basis and i always look forward to them, not just because she is an amazing model - full of inspiration, creativity and 100% professionalism, but also because she is such great company; we always have fun, lots of laughs and exciting adventures ! it genuinely is not work, but a pure pleasure. And the bonus to it all...our work gets better and better ; You will always have an amazing time and fab shoot with Tigerbelle ! Big recommendations from me !

Had my first shoot with Tigerbelle on location in Eastbourne. She is a fantastic model and a lady with a great sense of humour would love to work with her again excellent pre shoot comms and highly recommended

I was really happy to see that Tigerbelle was coming to East Sussex and booked a Sunday morning with her as soon as I knew :)

I managed to find a previously "unshot" location and Tigerbelle really made the most of it - posing like a windmill, draping over trees, and even looking girly with a cornfield behind her :)

Highly recommended - if she tours near you book her, if she doesn't head down to the IoW - you won't regret it :)

Tigerbelle was in the area so I didn't want to miss the opportunity to work with her again. She's a great model and will go beyond the call of duty to help get the shot. She's so great to work with, hopefully I'll catch her again next time too. Thank you :-)

Melissa contacted me and said she would be in my area in July - would I like a shoot? I said yes, and very glad that I did so. There was in instant rapport with Melissa which continued for the whole time she was with us. She is a brilliant model, relaxed, communicative and incredibly flexible, and full of good ideas. Would I work with her again? Yes, without hesitation!

I had my second shoot with Tigerbelle and as before it was an absolute pleasure. The locations were excellent, a stunning beach and great woodland. Tigerbelle is very organised, enthusiastic and versatile and the shoot flew by. Already anticipating the next shoot. I can highly recommend Tigerbelle. Thanks again.

Its all about the Light

My 2nd shoot with Tigerbelle, Great comms, picked me up at 3.45AM from the ferry and drove us to the location, Had everything asked for and more, worked really hard on the shoot and was great fun to talk to during and at the breaks. Totally loved working with her and looking forward to working with her again.

Very highly recommended :-)

I've worked with Tigerbelle many times and it's always a pleasure.

This time I booked Studio2 for a few hours as I wanted to explore my flash photography and push it to a better level.

Tigerbelle was brilliant. I'm very grateful for her patience as I needed to 'faff' with the lights a bit. Her posing was superb and I'm very very happy with the results. We came away with a great set of pictures.

Great fun to work with. Beautiful and an excellent model.

Totally recommended.

Thank you Tigerbelle :)

The amazing thing about Tigerbelle is the way she takes a photographic pose and holds it for twenty minutes or so while we draw. She has not yet managed to hold a mid-air pose but just a matter of time, surely. Our life drawing sessions with her are eagerly anticipated and always enjoyable.

I'm pretty sure that I won't have anything to say about the amazing Tigerbelle that hasn't been said before.

Preshoot communications - excellent, arrived bang on time - god she even arranged for her train to be on time!! Tigerbelle arrived with a huge bag of clothing, and every outfit worked beautifully in the locations I had chosen. She was also ready to rock as soon as she arrived.

We managed to work out way around several locations and captured some really beautiful images. Make no mistake, Tigerbelle is a fabulous model, she has an amazing physique and she is both graceful (when she isn't falling over 😛) and expressive, and she really knows how to pose to ensure that you always get nice angles.

Tigerbelle also just happens to be one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. She is great company, interesting and a really chilled person to spend time with. We managed to laugh and chat - a lot. So much so that the day just flew by, so much so that I nearly had a fit when I realised we had to leg it to ensure she caught her train home.

A superb day with a brilliant model - one who will climb trees, leap tall buildings in a single bound, jump into rivers and streams, and go paddling in the sea. Put simply, everything you could possibly hope for.

I look forward to working with this beautiful lady again, and I have absolutely no reservations in highly recommending her to you 👍

Had my first shoot with the lovely tigerbelle (Melissa) Coms were spot on throughout keeping me up to date right up to her arrival at The train station. I found Melissa to be extremely friendly and easy to talk to making for a relaxed and very enjoyable shoot. Melissa certainly knows her craft being able to create the most beautiful and amazing shapes useing her surroundings and what ever is available to her at the time. She has the ability to flow from one pose to another without the need of direction but more than happy to take direction when asked. I came away with some great images and can wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to any photographer. Thanks Melissa it was a pleasure meeting and working with you and hope to book something in the near future.

Although I have pretty much retired from photography now, I had arranged for tigerbelle to stay here on her recent tour of the area........ well it would have been rude not to snap a few with her wouldn't it ?

Tigerbelle is totally committed to her craft, wonderfully talented, amazingly professional and an inspiration of a person. Thank you Tigerbelle, a pleasure as always :)

Had the pleasure of shooting with Tigerbelle during her tour of the Midlands, we spent a couple of hours in a woodland location in Telford.

She arrived well prepared and ready to shoot and was great company, the time flew by. She comes full of ideas and puts her all in to helping you get the images you want.

I highly recommend shooting with Tigerbelle and I hope to get to work with her again soon.

I had a shoot with Tigerbelle last year and we tried to arrange another on the IOW, but a problem with my back meant I had to cancel. I was therefore very pleased when she let me know that she was coming to Brum and so we finally got together today at SS Creative Studio.

I love shooting with her as she can give me the moods and body angles that I like so much.

The four hours flew so quickly and I have seen already seen some interesting and dynamic images. However, she is, just like all the other models I work with, very aggressive and forces me to do things I struggle with. I also tell lies!

Tigerbelle is a delight to shoot with and we had a great time with continuous laughter and also so much creative interaction and images.

I cannot recommend her enough to other photographers and suggest you should shoot with her and have a fun productive shoot.
