Big Shot Studio

Tigerbelle was the model at our studio day today and it was a real pleasure to have her here. She is a true professional and was easily able to accommodate the needs of 5 different but very demanding photographers. You cant buy experience and Tigerbelles experience really pays off with her fantastic ability to flow effortlessly through a huge array of different poses. She made the studio day enjoyable and fun with her sense of humour and I would highly recommend her to other studio's and photographers who value the skills of a true professional model. Her portfolio speaks for itself. Tigerbelle is welcome back here anytime.

i worked with Melissa (tiger belle) for the first time today, i had a quirky idea for a shoot with which she embraced with enthusiasm and professionalism to get the shot i wanted, she posed fantastically often holding awkward poses at length with no complaints, she engaged and communicated well during the shoot which helped my artistic juices flow, I totally recommend Melissa for any creative ideas any photographer may have x

I had the pleasure of having Tigerbelle stay over while in town for her studio day. While here I was lucky enough to be able to grab a shoot for a little while. Tigerbelle was a trooper dealing with some pretty cold weather in order to get some late-night shots out and about in town.

We also managed to grab some studio images the next evening. No matter what it was we were shooting, Tigerbelle was always up for trying out different ideas.

Awesome lady, awesome model.

Highly recommend

I had such a fabulous shoot with tigerbelle on Sunday. We got on instantly, which for me, is always a plus but the pre communication was amazing too - clear, concise and all that you needed to hear. This lady is open for ideas, happy to give any if needed and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Her flexibility was amazing as was her impressive ability to stay en pointe whilst I grabbed the right crop (poor thing). I thank her for this and really hope to work with tigerbelle sometime very soon.

Had my second shoot with Tigerbelle and what can I say apart she is a fantastic model. With her beauty and classical looks and poses she is an amazing model to work with. Just have a look at her port to get an idea :)

Highly recommended and looking forward to more shoots with her x

I have been wanting to shoot with Tigerbelle for quite a while now, and we actually managed to make time to have a shoot on Friday. I wasnt dissapointed, Tigerbelle is a true professional who can pull some serious poses. She is without a doubt the queen of fine art models here on Purple Port. Her portfolio has some of the best work I have seen on here and I only hope my pictures can do her some justice. I would highly recommend Tigerbelle to anyone who is serious about photography! Looking forward to the next time we shoot!

My first outing with Ms Tigerbelle - an all day shoot on the Isle of Wight. What a day, what a model, what a location !

I was picked up early at the ferry point in Ryde by Tigerbelle and returned there somewhat the worse for wear in the late afternoon.

She has a veritable treasure trove of wonderful sites for shooting art-nude up her sleeve so one gets to both explore the island and work with a skilled and beautiful model.

Tigerbelle gives of her best, is adventurous and brave - it is still early March !

Most importantly, she is a lovely person and it is a real pleasure to spend a day with. I will work with her again.

I have just had my first Purple Port shoot with tigerbelle. We shot at Studio 2. I can not recommend this model highly enough. Her pre shoot communication was faultless. She is friendly and a joy to work with. She can pose herself but also takes direction well. I had a great time and a lot of fun which is why I do this. We are already planning our next shoot together outdoors which I am looking forward to immensely.

What a wonderful days shoot I had with the brilliant and lovely Tigerbelle on Tuesday in the Isle of Wight. Her communication pre-shoot was great. Tigerbelle is so easy to talk to and I knew it was going to be a great shoot as soon as we met. She is adventurous, very creative and falls into brilliant poses at ease. Throughout the day Tigerbelle looked after me and drove me to brilliant and exciting locations where we were able to create different types of images. The weather was very windy and there was a considerable chill factor but Tigerbelle was the consummate professional that she is posing in such cold conditions to help me achieve some special images. She is one of the loveliest, kindest, professional and considerate models I have worked with and I highly recommend photographers to work with her - you'll have a great shoot. Thank you so much Tigerbelle for such an amazing day and hopefully we can work together again.

I was booked to work with Melissa last week and was so looking forward to working with her, shooting latex cat suit. She came and stayed the night so able to book others in the area, but unfortunately I hurt my arm and had to pass her over to my friend at his studio! which she happily accepted, as did he :) #

Ive seen some of those he took and so disappointed that it wasn't me. Melissa was the perfect guest and looking forward to working with her next time.

Thanks for being so understanding Melissa!

Best regards

So much has already been said about working with Tigerbelle and not sure sure I could her Justice. It all starts with a great sense of humour and I knew instantly on meeting her it was going to be a great shoot. A fabulous, enthusiastic and adventurous model who added so much creativity to the shoot and willing to try and express some great ideas. I really must work on location next and I may even travel to the IoW to work with her again. That says it all really. If you get the opportunity do arrange a shoot DO IT!

Booked 4 hrs, wish I had gone for 8hrs. We went climbing to locations few will have seen apart from mountain goats, just fabulous back drops & we both got very muddy - absolute hoot!. Work wise she is a posing machine, just never stops - very graceful and seemingly will do anything, within her stated level, to get you the images you want.

Everyone should book a shoot with this warm, friendly, funny & beautiful model. Bet you can't resist pointing a camera at those amazing blue eyes! Did I mention she also brings cakes - but no beer.

I love working with Tigerbelle. She has been a constant muse over the past years and is always willing to help me develop my photographic skills.

I'm currently learning how to use studio flash lighting and Tigerbelle has been a great help. Although I'm only a beginner at this style of photography I've come away with many images I am very very pleased with and I believe this is mainly down to her exceptional posing skills.

Thank you Tigerbelle!

Finally got to go on the "Island" and do a shoot with Tigerbelle. Fantastic locations and fantastic model. She combines beauty and style in an unique way that is a pleasure to photograph.

Looking forward to future work and highly recommended :-)

We had a marvelous shoot spread over two days in Groningen, NL. Starting with "The Box" we made pictures that are among the best I ever shot with the box. Also the next day marvelous pics again. Tigerbelle knows so well what she can do with her body and what she can't, so professional. Lots of fun together and for sure hope to shoot together again. Highly recommended.

After a long adventurous travel with delays (bcs of plain struck by lightning) Tigerbelle arrived late at night the day before the shoot. If I hadn't been smart (for this one time) we should have shot at nightime. This tells a lot about her passion for modelling. In the morning we saw the beautiful Autumn colours, we looked at eachtother and first thing we did was shooting in a cold, but o so beautiful forrest. After that; studiowork, I can tell a long story, but I will summarize; passion, collaboration, spontaneous ideas, simple instruction/ quick understanding. There was "The Click". Beside this, humour was with us all the time. Great shoot, And we sure will do again. Higly recommended.

I had a fantastic day shooting with the wonderful Tigerbelle on the Isle of Wight. Not only is she an excellent model and great company, but she also acted as a location scout and chauffeur for the day picking me up and dropping at the ferry as well as driving us from location to location.

I contacted Tigerbelle sometime ago about the possibility of doing a shoot on the island, her pre-shoot communication was excellent as I gave her a list of ideas I wanted to shoot. Prior to the shoot Tigerbelle suggested locations and investigated some sites that I had seen online to see whether they were viable or not.

Tigerbell's experiences is clear from the quality and quantity of her portfolio images and rarely needed any direction from me she is confident with her posing and knows what looks good. She was very conscientious throughout the whole process , continually checking what my requirements are for clothing, makeup, locations, prior to the shoot and during the shoot constantly checking that I was happy with the results. All of which was fulfilled beyond my expectations, I'll be planning another trip next year when it's warmer.

A lovely model - a very enjoyable shoot ! Tigerbelle arrived exactly on time ,and impressed me with her competence and wonderful company . Highly recommended !

Stu Freeman

Brilliant at climbing, not so good getting down afterwards........

Seriously though, a truly splendid natural model, graceful, elegant, and a good sense of humor. Effortless flowing poses with little direction needed.

I look forward to working with Tigerbelle again.......once the local dog walkers have recovered.

Looking through Tigerbelle's other references I see that I'm not the only one to feel privileged by having worked with her.

I had an all-day shoot with her last Saturday. Bl**dy 'ell - she's good. She's experienced, creative, enthusiastic, hard-working, has a toned figure and arrives with a tardis-like suitcase of well-considered clothes and accessories. Anything else? Well - there's her excellent communications, her lovely unpretentious personality and her great sense of humour. So the shoot was not only highly productive but it was also hugely enjoyable. Thanks for a brilliant day, ma'am!

Would I recommend her? Too bl**dy right I would.
