I have worked with Tigerbelle several times now and not only is she a fantastic, friendly and interesting person, she's one awesome model who should be on every artnude photographer's bucket list. I rarely give Tigerbelle direction regarding her posing as to do so would be to stiffle her own creativity which is far greater than my own. However, when i can think of a way to add to a pose Tigerbelle is quick on the uptake and takes direction brilliantly. Quite simply, she never ceases to amaze with her creativity and positive attitude, i cannot recommend her highly enough.

My second shoot with Tigerbelle and 4 hours just flew by.

It's difficult to describe just how much I enjoy working with Tigerbelle so I'll keep it simple: Great sense of humour, awesome model.

An absolute delight to work with and I can't recommend her highly enough.

I have had my first shoot with tigerbelle, and what an excellent shoot it was. She is so talented, she moves from pose to pose with so much ease, and some of her poses she gets into are ones that you would not get off of many other models. She is fun to be around, an absolute joy to work with, so hence the time just flies by. I am hoping to get over to her part of the country soon, so another shoot will definitely be on the cards. I would recommend any photographer to have a shoot with Melissa as you will not be disappointed.......

I had shot with this amazing lady twice previously on location on the Isle of Wight, both were amazing, so when I heard she was having a studio day at JB Studios near to where I live, I jumped at the chance to shoot her in a studio environment.

She did not know I was coming so it was a surprise, her reaction was priceless, it was a good start to an amazing shoot. What can I say about this amazingly talented and creative model? Firstly I have learned a lot from her, looking at her images has inspired me,she is so professional but friendly and always works at 100%

I just let her run and stop her now and again to direct, she is very intuitive and to me, she is modelling Royalty.

If you get the chance to work with Tigerbelle, grab the opportunity with both hands, you will not regret it, your portfolio will be enhanced guaranteed. Cannot wait to shoot with her again

I had my first Shoot with Tigerbelle, it was a joy to work with her, she moves effortlessly between poses and gets into some poses some models would struggle to hold,while being hard working in trying to create the images your after,she is fun to work with and I highly recommend her to other Photographers, Thanks Melissa for a fun shoot and hope to work with you again

Yay, a shoot with Tigerbelle and we didn't get rained on. But it was summer, and in a studio so we thought we should be OK.

First studio shoot with Tigerbelle, tried a range of things from really low key, through to working with a diffusion screen and gels. Each set brought out new challenges and ideas and Tigerbelle quickly adapted and applied her style to the set.

Really pleased with what we shot in the time available, and in different environment to our previous shoots.

Thank you, till next time.

I had another fabulous time photographing the wonderful Tigerbelle. our third shoot together now and they just keep getting better. Tigerbelle is a fantastic model to work with she seams to have telepathic abilities, literary as I am thinking about the directions to give her, she has already done. Talented, easy going, great company, hard-working, willing to go the extra mile to get the great image all make for a wonderful and productive shoot.

It is always a pleasure to work with Tigerbelle and as I said previously it practically impossible to come away without good images, needless to say I highly recommend working with and hope to do so again soon.

I had my second shoot with Tigerbelle when she was on her recent tour of East Anglia.

Like the weather, Tigerbelle was was excellent, a great model with a wonderful range of poses. Tigerbelle is great company and although we made use of two locations the time flew by.

I look forward to working with her again.

Highly recommended.

Melissa arrived by train and I collected her from the station. We then spent 2 hectic hours at my (new) home studio. She was already made up as I had earlier requested, and able to jump into the first story based theme straight away. Melissa responded quickly to adopt and adapt poses against a green screen. Things got complicated when we switched between natural light and LED light sources (me experimenting), but Melissa remained calm and helpful throughout. I was able to get a good range of poses and we finished in time for her to catch the train to her next adventure. I am happy to recommend Melissa.

So Tigerbelle came to stay while touring the area, we decided on a couple of ideas from location to studio work. Well, the location shoot didn't go to plan, but the studio ideas went excellently. We got some really cool images shot, it was a good laugh while shooting and I look forwards to editing the results. It was good catching up with Tigerbelle, excellent guest, enjoyable shoot. Totally recommended. :-)

The best laid plans sometimes dont work out...

The forest location we intended to use was being cut,so a back-up plan was hastily made,which worked out great in the end,other than the dog walker whos day was brightened!!.

Tigerbelle was awesome! totally going with the flow with all our occasionally odd ideas,going from full on laughing to Art Nude pro in 1 second flat!..

A great shoot with a funny and talented Lady,we got great images and looking forward to visiting the island for part two!.

100 % recomended .

First shot Tigerbelle on her Norfolk tour, delayed by blizzards from earlier in year - pre-comms were excellent and great to finally meet up. Well, the location shoot didn't go to plan as our fallen tree bit of forest was closed but alternative of beech woods and tree roots went excellently. Posing fluidly with real style and managed to go from classic art nude pose to laughing a lot and back to beautifully poised in an instant. Next time we`re off to Isle of Wight - what better reference can you get than that?

brilliant as ever,can't wait for the new season of life drawings with the amazing Tigerbelle

tyke

Tigerbelle had a chance to draw for a while, and pretty impressive for starters, but back in the real job she put us through our paces with a pose that tested the best of us. Cannot praise too highly the dedication ,strength and determination of this wonderful model, fun,professional and all round joy to work with!

4th time of working together (at least)

Says it all and better written than 'wot I can', a really top model.

Three things I would like to add.

1. Can work with clothes on

2. Has a great sense of humour, not essential but it helps when waiting for dog walkers, gardeners, mums with prams and the sun to go in.

3. Tigerbelle can walk barefoot over gravel like no-one else.

I was very lucky to have Melissa stay with me for a couple of days,she is such a wonderful human being.We share the same values on life,and spent many hours just chatting about many things.It was interesting,and educating to hear Melissas take on food,I learnt a lot,and will use many of her ideas.Between the talking we did manage to take a few images,Melissa is a very talented model with lots of ideas,and very easy to work with.

I have nothing,but praise for her,and if I was closer would love to work on a very regular basis.Thank you Melissa.John.

So glad to have the chance of a mystery island shoot with Tigerbelle, just the tonic to gently tease creative collaboration to life. Only a slight pity that the weather Gods were laughing at me, no sunrise as planned barely registered as disappointment though, when the model is an excellent host and co-conspirator.

Ferry is only a short hop, probably a lot less time than many spend on a daily commute, so don't let that put you off if you were hesitating to book.

Could not fault Tigerbelle, the right model just makes everything ebb and flow with a natural rhythm, and from comms through to completion she was in tune with all things spoken and tacit. Add in a sprinkle of eccentricity with some strong resolve, and I'm one happy, relaxed and tired bunny.
