Every session with Tigerbelle brings new challenges to our drawing skills, last evening she appeared to reassemble her limbs in a knot. We drew at speed but how amazing it was to see such a contorted pose held for such a time! Quite a relief when she adopted a restful languid pose. No other model has such a catalogue of exquisite poses, or the strength to hold photographic poses long enough for drawing. She's good fun too! Brilliant!

Tigerbelle and I had been trying without success to arrange a shoot for nearly two years. We finally managed it at the weekend and it was well worth the wait. Her posing is incredible at times and she can adapt to any style from soft and sensual to strong and acrobatic. She has a wonderful slim, toned figure and a mass of curly red hair which added together make for some awesome images. A lovely lady to be around and highly recommended.

Tigerbelle is just great :)

Her communication prior to the shoot was excellent, a major travel disruption in the area didn't prevent her from managing to show up very early for our shoot.

We walked to shoot in some outdoor locations and then shot in a studio, both of which styles she can readily accomplish.

Again I found her easy to get along with and I am very pleased with the results we obtained. I am happy to recommend Tigerbelle and look forward to shooting with her again later in the year.

Melissa (tigerbelle) was on tour we were lucky to have her at the studio today. Absolutely an amazing model she came with a fantastic selection of outfits, a wonderful personality and was fun to work with. She posed really excellently, and took directions without problems. Great sense of humour and a fun model to work with... really professional with a great look. Melissa was all the things you ever want from a model. Beautiful, inventive, full of vitality and to top it all a dam nice person. I highly recommend her to any photographer. She works hard listens and adds to the process. I would recommend her to any photographer, highly recommended you wont be disappointed.

What can I say about Melissa other than that she is absolutely a delight to work with and able to add as much input to your shots as possible, often anticipating exactly what you want even before you thought of it. She is amazing and I would thouroughly recommend her to anyone.

Met the wonderful Tigerbelle at a group shoot in a cold mill, true professional looked at my props with some inquisitive looks, but welcomed the idea and made it all work well. wicked sense of humour and a lot of fun on a long days shoot. Everyone should shoot with her!

Tigerbelle what can I say such a great easy going experienced model. Was a greats change to shoot a little more mature model then I normally do. She had lots of great ideas of her own but was easy going and willing to try new ideas by all attending. I would recommend to anyone wanting something different then the normal. Fantastic model Thanks Tgierbelle looking forward to next time.

Had an awesome shoot with this lady at my local studio, during her Northwest tour! Communication were excellent and she managed to arrive early despite a major Railway issue in the area.

Tigerbelle is an outstanding model! We worked through a number of sets during our shoot, fashion, dance, art nude and a few wacky and weird ideas of mine too!

Highly talented and totally professional, and very beautiful. Apart from being a first class model, she is really a kind and lovely person. We got on great from the onset, and by the time our shoot ended we seemed like old friends!

I have asked her to please let me know when she is next in the area, can't wait for our next shoot!

Very highly recommended!

a combination of a couple of great locations, near perfect weather conditions (apart from the cold!) and the fantastic modelling talents of Tigerbelle produced a first rate shoot experience for me! Communications in the weeks and days leading up to the shoot were exemplary and when I arrived slightly early at our agreed meet-up point, Tigerbelle was already there raring to go (well, almost... a quick coffee stop then we headed straight to our first location!) I could not be more pleased with the results we achieved and I am already in discussions with this excellent model to arrange a follow up shoot this summer :-) without any reservations whatsoever, I can recommend Tigerbelle 100%, a real pleasure to work with and satisfaction guaranteed! :-)

had a shoot with Melissa this morning in windy Freshfields, north of Liverpool.

What a great time I had. After losing my mojo for a while this lady put it back and then some.

We managed 4 changes of clothing and 3 different locations.

Melissa never complained, loved my coffee, took instruction, and yet wasn't afraid to suggest things herself which was greatly appreciated.

I think we have captures some exquisite 'moments' together and I would thoroughly recommend Melissa to all photographers out there. She was wonderful!

CCM Studio

We shot together whilst she was in Liverpool for a tour.

Tigerbelle's communication is very good.

Tigerbelle is a superb model to work with. She arrives very well prepared and is able to produce brilliant poses without direction. She takes direction very well. She has a good sense of humour and is prepared to work on location on cold days.

I look forward to working with her again, on her next tour.

Before the shoot, we discussed a number of different locations and outfits, through a series of communications. Tigerbelle responded promptly, in a friendly and professional manner and continued to offer good communication in the lead up to the shoot.

Weather conditions on the day weren't very pleasant and worsened the further west we drove. Tigerbelle assured me when I picked her up, that she was quite hardy and didn't mind a bit of rain, which we were about to find out. It had started off dull and cloudy, but by the time we drove to our location on Dartmoor, the drizzle started, followed not long after by a strong wind. Tigerbelle soldiered on despite the conditions. Although I tend to not wear too many clothes to give me a better indication, I was colder than expected, so I can only imagine how cold Tigerbelle must have been. Despite the weather, it was a very enjoyable shoot, helped by the pleasant conversation. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

If you're looking for a friendly and professional model, someone who isn't afraid to go that extra mile to get the shots, then Tigerbelle comes highly recommended. An excellent model for location shoots, even in less than ideal conditions and definitely recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with the fabulous Tigerbelle for the second time last weekend. Her professionalism and skill as both a location and studio model are well documented in her 170 plus references, she is simply one of the best. But Melissa is also a lovely lady, intelligent, witty, great company and fun to work with or just hang out with.

I have come away with lots of images to edit and for use in my digital art work and although the weather was bitter on location we still managed to get the shots I had planned, and likewise from the studio part of the shoot. I am very pleased with the results. Melissa and can pull some strange poses! But we like strange.

If you have not worked with Tigerbelle yet I would recommend booking her when she is next on tour in your area.

Thank you again Melissa for a fun and productive shoot. I am looking forward to our third mini adventure.

I had a great shoot with Melissa during her Somerset Tour. Pre shoot communications were excellent with plenty of questions back and forth discussing ideas and outfits.

On the day, Melissa was well prepared - in fact she is definitely one of the best prepared models for outdoor location work - warm clothing and a comfy rucksack!

I had to change locations due to weather, but we ended up visiting few locations. Despite being a sunny day, it was still pretty chilly in the wind and Melissa braved the elements brilliantly. Melissa is very comfortable working in outdoors even in winter, adapting to the landscape and conditions. As expected for a winter outdoor shoot, we took plenty of warming up breaks, but I never felt any of the breaks were too long.

Hopefully we came back with some nice images from the day!

Can't recommend her highly enough, everyone draws better then ever when she is our model. Tigerbelle is living proof that the model has an active part to play in the creative process. Want to up your quality of image?- call in Tigerbelle! Just added another to my gallery.

This was my first shoot with Melissa, arranged at rather short notice on my part but the pre-shoot comm’s were excellent. We arranged a location shoot on the Isle of Wight and on the day Melissa met me from the ferry and then drove to the location. Despite being a sunny day it was cold and Melissa came prepared with a range of fantastic long dresses which we used for a beach shoot. Melissa’s is very experienced and can create beautiful poses from which we were able to get some great shots, including a movement theme. She produces wonderful body lines and for that special pictures she is not afraid of getting “stuck-in” and lying down on wet sand and stones. Melissa is fun to work with and has interesting conversation. I had a great time which was over far too soon but I am looking forward to a future shoot and I highly recommend Melissa.

Thank you, R

Another joyous session of drawing the amazing Tigerbelle, cannot commend her too highly, such a star! More sessions booked and eagerly awaited.

I had my first shoot with Melissa today, and it most certainly will not be our last together. We worked in my studio on a variety of art nude sets and I was delighted with the results.

From our first contact, a couple of months ago, through to the shoot today Melissa was friendly, professional and really well organised. Communications were excellent - her responses prompt and clear, and seasoned with delightful touches of humour.

This morning, Melissa arrived early, with everything we had agreed for the shoot ... and more! Throughout the shoot, I was impressed by her total dedication to ensuring that we got the shots I wanted: pushing herself to achieve that extra extension or flexibility, taking direction well and offering valuable suggestions along the way to assist the creative process.

Melissa is intelligent and articulate, good company, poses beautifully, and has a great figure.

I now look forward to arranging a shoot with her on the Isle of Wight and the opportunity to capture some stunning outdoor nude shots.

Melissa is highly recommended from me, without reservation.
