Shoot number 3. Same attitude as always - brave fearless model ready to tackle anything & a joy to spend the day with. So we shot model in pounding surf at considerable risk to Melissa (braving crumbling cliff paths to get to the sea), super raunchy urban in risky derelict location followed by a superbly posed beautiful art nude set and a spell binding finish with a haunting set featuring a white flowing dress in the wind against a thunderous sky. Phew!

Thoroughly recommended to those who want a very, very versatile model with a genuine "can do" attitude. Roll on our next shoot!

What a lovely lady! Melissa has such a great attitude to her work - very creative, fearless, professional, willing to try new ideas and totally committed to helping me get the images that I wanted. Awesome ability to hold amazing poses and very experienced at understanding how to make the most of her "relationship with the lens".

Now, that would be plenty enough. But in addition she was a marvellous guest, funny, smart and very genuine. All in all, a very successful and enjoyable shoot. Mia and I had just the best time. Thoroughly recommended and we both look forward to the next time.......

First shoot with Tiger Belle, pre shoot communication was excellent she stayed over night prior to the shoot. Prior to the shoot at Riverside Studio we discussed the shoot in detail the night before so on arrival everything flowed very well. This model is so professional and a pleasure to work with. Her sense of humour matched our own. If you work with Tiger Belle you will not be disappointed this model is one of the most professional models I have had the pleasure to work with, I will be working with her again. All I can say is thank you for a wonderful shoot and wonderful images that came out of it. You are a pleasure to work with and I can't wait until we arrange another shoot. To all photographers out there I would recommend her to you she will not let you down. Thank you again Studio M

Had the pleasure of Tigerbelle as a house guest and then a full day shoot.

We had talked often beforehand about the shoot and ideas etc, of course on the day, weather and tiny tunnel entrances changed the plans, would have needed to find a bottle marked "drink me" to get in.

Nonetheless, shoot was fantastic and the images are superb. Tigerbelle really is fearless, hanging off stuff, climbing into holes in walls, balancing on precarious things, she really will go that extra yard to get the image and somehow manages to look graceful while hanging upside down off a ladder balanced between 2 chairs.

Top banana!

A long awaited second shoot with Mel on Portland, has/was arranged what seems an age ago now, a bit of a trip from Mel's island to mine, and she still arrives smack on time and full of smiles, such pure delight to have her company !

Followed by information overload in the car too the location and a long tricky walk along some cliffs....and in the time I had been away (3 years) all the important parts of what was in my head had gone!

So just as well I was with someone of this lady's class, we soon worked around the possibilities and had a great shoot, then off to a second location where Mel was fantastically creative......The right lady, the right place..........now all I have to do is sort through and post some up...

Thanks young lady your a star.

Recently did a 2 day shoot in the Isle of Wight with the wonderfull Tigerbelle. She is a wonderfull model and person. She made me feel very welcome and is a great host.

She never complained even when i got her cold wet and muddy Her poses are brilliant and effortless at the same time I achieved some of my favourite images. I really can;t wait to work with her again.

I would without hesitation recomment her to any tog wanting to work with a highly professional work ethic and also fun to work with,

Thanks for a great 2 days,

Had another fabulous shoot with Tigerbelle on the island. We wondered among dark beaches and haunted pools in the middle of the night creating some fascinating photos. Always a pleasure to work with her .. She poses effortlessly to give you the best image you could ask for.

Had my first shoot with Tigerbelle, lovely lady, easy to get on with, lots of laughs, great pics. Found her in the lake, up trees, swinging from ladders, 'health and safety' went out the window.

So many great photos don't know which to put on my port, hope to see her again, shame she is so far away, be good to have a monthly shoot. Thanks Tiger xx

I worked with Tigerbelle today on the Isle of Wight. She was kind enough to collect me and my wife from the ferry terminal and had fantastic local knowledge of the Island.

We managed to capture some fantastic images at various iconic locations and places of interest. Tigerbelle puts in enormous amounts of effort into her work and some of the poses she strikes are absolutely mindblowing. I left her to pose without direction as I wouldn't have even dreamed of most of the poses she demonstrated. Let's just say she is incredibly flexible in both her outlook and her manner of posing.

All in all a very enjoyable 4hrs with a brilliant and dedicated model and we will definitely work together again in the future

Most definitely recommended!!

My recent shoot with Tigerbelle was quite a challenge for her personally as I planned to shoot her on a fully extended forklift truck and a warehouse that had been flooded the day before. I think I was more nervous than she was as safety of the model is paramount. She rose to the challenge in a epic way, and despite me trying to speed things up to minimise her discomfort, she came up with the goods BIG TIME...!!!

I was lucky to get to work with Tigerbelle for the second time in the early hours of Monday morning, and as usual, she was spectacular!

I love working with Tigerbelle because she is great at the planning and communication before the shoot starts. She shows up ready to work, and is one of those models who can do anything, including leap about in six inch heels (I think she could fly if needed)! She dances through her poses in such a graceful way that the possibilities and shapes she gives you as a photographer are endless. Her creativity is humbling, and yet she is so easy and fun to work with. Tigerbelle gives you everything you could want in a model, and her sense of humor makes light work of the time you are out. When our collaboration comes to an end, I always find myself surprised at how quickly the time went by, and by how much fun it was to work with Tigerbelle.

I highly recommend Tigerbelle, she's creative, talented, fun to work with, completely professional, and just downright awesome!

It's hard to add to all the superlatives that Tigerbelle already has in her references.

She is a wonderful model. We got some great work together and some magnificent location shots.

She is "game for a laugh" and more than willing to give things a go. She has a great eye for a good pose for the situation. She needs little direction because she is such a natural. Pre shoot communications were excellent and we both knew what to expect.

Above all she is a really lovely person and great fun to be with. She certainly gives that little extra.

Melissa is a very professional and easy-to-work-with model with first class communications. She is particularly interesting we got a lot of shots that other models would not have been able to achieve.

I would recommend Melissa she is a pleasure to work with.

Traveled to the Isle of Wight with a photographer friend to shoot tigerbelle, I have to say without a shadow of a doubt, it was worth every mile, every yard, every foot and every inch of the journey. This lady is nothing short of amazing, relaxed, friendly, confident with a fantastic figure (which she knows how to use) amazing face and such a great personality. Every second of the shoot was fun and we both got amazing shots.

The ideal model for any photographer of any level, so very professional and so very friendly. I am going to book the shoot her again, I recommend any tog looking to improve his portfolio, does the same.

Thank you for an amzing day tigerbelle, i will be back soon to work with you again

Had an amazing shoot with Tigerbelle today.

Shoot was arranged for myself and a photographer friend to shoot Tigerbelle in different locations on the Isle of Wight

Pre shoot comms were excellent and Tigerbelle was waiting for us as soon as we arrived to take us to some amazing locations for what turned out to be one of the most enjoyable location shoots I have ever done

I would 1000% recommend Tigerbelle as she is so lovely to work with and very very professional

Had my second shoot with Tigerbelle on Isle of Wight, we used another great beach location, quiet with lots of natural features for shooting opportunities. She's full of ideas, and always willing to get cold, wet and mucky to achieve a shot. She has the strength and agility to hold impressive poses, even when being battered by the wind or swamped by the waves, and simultaneously manages to look graceful and elegant.

The shoot was thoroughly enjoyable and productive and I strongly recommend Tigerbelle to everyone.

I had my first shoot with Tigerbelle today, and I can only say positive things about her!

Communications before the shoot was impeccable, with discussion about the types of location I wanted lo use leading to a detailed shoot plan with a bit of everything. In fact, we only managed to get to a small proportion of the places... (leaving plenty for next time!)

I can only re-iterate what others have written, she is completely at ease modelling and willing to try anything. Combined with the most amazing strength and the ability to hold fantastic poses, give every opportunity to get some great shots.

It really is worth a visit to the IOW to work with her. You might even get a natural history or geology lesson!

Thanks Tigerbelle!

Fantastic location shoot, again. Second shoot with Melissa, won't be the last.

Charlie from Bristol

I've just a lovely half-day shoot with Tigerbelle at various locations around Somerset. She has so much energy, physical inventiveness and a great ability to instinctively adapt to different settings and light sources. I am absolutely delighted with the images I have looked through so far and the beauty, grace and calmness that she brought to each shot.

I can highly recommend working with Tigerbelle and I hope that I get the chance to photograph her again in the not too distant future.
