What kind of fool am I?

2 shoots in 8 days with the force that is Tigerbelle. This time filling a cancellation on her tour, right on my doorstep. We spent four hours at Riverside Studios - which proved to be great playground. A quick tour of the site, to the accompaniment of thunder rumbling around, we narrowed down the sets, before pre-visualising how we'd work each one.

We managed to work a couple of sets as the heavens opened. Thoroughly soaked we took refuge for the worst of the downpour, before setting back out. Even though the rain came and went this did not dampen the spirits, enthusiasm remained high and 100% commitment given to each set and pose.

Would I recommend Tigerbelle - a most emphatic YES! I certainly hope to work with her again in the future - hopefully in drier conditions !

I shot with Tigerbelle on her recent visit to Kent, back at my favourite haunt, Riverside. I have long been an admirer of her environmental nudes, which was an ideal place to start.

Pre-shoot comms were exemplary and we had discussed the kind of sets to shoot. It probably took us a little while to find a shooting rhythm, but once we did there was almost no stopping us, well apart from the heights, but we won't mention that :) Beware - this model is completely bonkers (in a really great way), great fun to shoot and extremely capable (but of course you probably already knew that!) total recommendation from me, and yes I'd love to do it again :)

I worked with Tiger bell on her home patch of the Isle of Wight. What an adventure!

She was there to meet me straight off the ferry at Yarmouth and after a quick discussion on what we were going going to achieve in the time we had we were off.

The first location was on the beach we shot beach fashion and swimwear. Tiger belle had load of outfits with her, so I was spoiled for choice. As well as posing on the beach and in the sea, she was happy to pose on rocks, and even hang off of trees!

Tiger belle did all of the driving around the island and she knows where all the best locations are. She even helped me over for more difficult terrain and obstacles we had to negotiate to get there, when walking. especially when I shot at my first URBEX location ever.

A wonderful and talented model would definitely. recommend her, and can't wait to work with her again.

I've lost track of how many times I've worked with Tigerbelle.

She is an absolutely awesome model to work with and I really enjoy our shoots together. She always gives 100% to the shoot and by pushing herself to achieve her best she helps me to push my photography skills forward.

Always up for an adventure and happy to work with or without directions.

I totally recommend her to other photographers.

Thank you Tigerbelle :)

Had another great shoot with Tigerbelle last Saturday. She is such an expressive model, absolutely committed to getting the image you want and a delight to be with. Creative, artistic and charming. Highly recommended. And just a lovely house guest!

Well what can I say, spent much of today working with tigerbelle on her home turf - the Isle of Wight - and what a great day its been.

I arrived earlier than scheduled - but 'tiger' was waiting and ready to go! Jumped in her car for the journey to one of her favourite beaches. Once there she was quickly throwing ideas, options and suggested poses around. Posing seemed effortless, simply flowing from one to the next, little direction required from me, but adjusted well when requested.

On the walk to the next site, the great British summer decided to show its hand, after being thoroughly soaked, and with little sign of a break in the clouds, we aborted and visited a derelict site that offered some cover. Worked a number of sets with the same enthusiasm as at the start of the day. Time, dog walkers and weather stopped us exploring the full potential of the site.

Highly recommended if you want to work with someone who is great company, flexible, agile and is willing to go the extra mile in order to achieve the shot.

Would I recommend that you work tigerbelle? - a definite Yes!

I know I most definitely will be :)

Not a shoot but a couple of hours sitting for a group of artists, with poses held for twenty minutes or so. Tigerbelle trying out new territory as a model for life drawing, and showing what a talented lass she is. She assumed gracious angular poses which were bliss to draw despite being severely challenging to the artists. She maintained each pose precisely, an indication of her strength and willpower! Without doubt an excellent model and one we look forward to drawing again and again. She is also good fun, which is so important for our group.

Tigerbelle is great.

I had a great Art nude studio shoot with her, followed by quick fashion shoot. As I'm a newbie, tigerbelle answered all my questions, and was very helpful, and soon made me feel at ease.

I'd would recommend tigerbelle and hope to work with her again.

After messaging for some time I finally managed to shoot with Tigerbelle on her recent Scottish tour. It was incredibly relaxed but very creative and Tigerbelle brought amazing experience and artistic ability with her enthusiasm to create the best possible image. We managed to shoot a range of styles in three different locations, each time Tigerbelle bringing ideas to the shoot and working her utmost to achieve great results. She is a lovely lady and very interesting to talk to making the whole experience a real pleasure. I think nude work on location is her real forte and if you want a model who is at one with her surroundings and relaxed in the landscape then you should work with the talented Tigerbelle. She was not phased by the chilly conditions or working in different locations. This lady is a class act, being hard-working, adaptable, artistic, edgy, passionate about her work and comes very highly recommended by me!

I had the pleasure of working with tigerbelle during her recent tour of Scotland.

I found her to be very relaxed and good fun to work with, we chatted a lot and stopped for an all important lunch break with Dionne before getting down to shooting. We were able to fit in several forest scenes and some stone building shots whilst dodging passers by and dog walkers. Her quick dressing skills were very much needed on this shoot. It was a delightful day with good company and a very skilful model, producing some lovely images.

Comes very highly recommended!

Wow!

Worked with Tigerbelle yesterday on location in the Scottish Borders in some pretty daft weather.

It was one of those days where it was wind-driven rain with scattered showers and occasional sun, but Tigerbelle coped and got on with it admirably.

She is able to work in harmony with her surroundings - be it a building, stream, hill-side, ruin or machinery, and strives to give you the best images that are possible.

Makes dynamic and sympathetic poses both nude and dressed, is happy to work under direction and on her own - and is really worth engaging - her input and dynamic approach to an image are really to the better.

She is very personable, and has a great sense of humour - which really helps when the weather is against you.

I wouldn't hesitate to work with Tigerbelle again, and I recommend her hole-heartedly and without reservation to anyone thinking of booking her.

Well had my second shoot with Tigerbelle whilst on holiday on the Isle of Wight, what a great way to start a holiday :-) Half day went past so fast but looking back at the images we packed a lot in.

Tigerbell as always was full of ideas and as always loads of great shapes, she is good company and a pleasure to work with and it is nice that she did whatever she could to make sure that I got the images that I wanted.

She has shot at the location several times before but we still managed to shoot something different which was nice for both of us.

Yes I would recommend a shoot with Tigerbelle specially to anyone visiting the isle of wight, a shoot with her is one of the isles top attractions :-)

Hope we get to shoot together again sometime.

I had the joy of working with Tigerbelle on her latest Scottish trip. A very early start for her, and a couple of hours in the car, and her energy was still strong and her enthusiasm unwavering.

We produced lots of great images and I LOVE the red hair! It really popped in a forest of green!

Lots of great poses, very flexible and great tone to her body, all combined for some wonderful images! Thanks xx

I recently attended a day event at Studio 2 entitled "Introduction to Art Nude" where Tigerbelle was modellling for the photographers. Having not tried my hand at nude photography before it was a little daunting at first, but Melissa was absolutely brilliant, professional and patient and offered great advice and made the experience a truly incredible one. I marvelled at just how easy she made it look and put me at ease with her friendly personality. I would highly recommend her to all photographers, especially those whom might be new to the subject and maybe need some help on getting the best from a shoot.

Tigerbelle gets better and better climbing thing but has failed to improve her ability to get down :)

On a serious note; Our third time of working together, great fun and highly recommended to all.

I had the pleasure of another all-day shoot with Tigerbelle. And what a pleasure it was.

Mind you, I knew it was going to be another good 'un. Pre-shoot communications had been excellent so, on shoot day, we were able to hit the ground running. Actually, 'running' was almost appropriate for Tigerbelle. Where the **** does she get all her energy from? And it's not just physical energy; it's also mental energy - she's hugely creative, and that manifests itself in her coming up with one eye-catching (or, if I were to do it, back-breaking) pose after another. Her input to the shoot was immense and I learned a lot from her.

Yes - she's creative, energetic, enthusiastic, has a lovely toned figure, is ultra-professional in every respect, and on a personal level she's got a lovely unpretentious personality and a great sense of humour. (Or, as some might say, mad as a box of frogs, :))

She's a sheer delight to work with. And thanks to her input an creativity the pictures were rather good as well!
