PP royalty they call her, deservedly so, but down to earth, considerate and downright hilarious. This morning session with a new group drawing her in a range of poses won a whole new army of fans! I feel very lucky to have her frequently model for my groups.

This was my second shoot with Melissa. Arrangements had been made to meet at the train station in my home town. Despite the bitter cold and snow Melissa arrived on time and ready for our shoot . During our drive to the shoot location Melissa was very chatty and relaxed which went a long way to getting the shoot off to a good start. Melissa is very organised and like our first shoot came well prepared with a large selection of clothes to change into. Altogether another very enjoyable shoot giving me no hesitation in recommending Melissa to other photographers. Thank you Melissa and hope to shoot with you again.

We were pleased to welcome tiger belle to our studio today for her first visit and we very much hope it won't be the last.

She is an exceptional lady in every way, enthusiastic, energetic, fun and professional throughout.

Highly recommended to any photographer or studio.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Tigerbelle on her tour of the Midlands. Her initial approach and pre-shoot communications were first class. We chose to work together at the excellent Far Forest studio in Worcestershire. During the four hours in the studio Tigerbelle was able to produce a whole range of different looks and styles as I requested. She has a very lithe toned figure and creates the most wonderful shapes and we managed to capture some quite unique images. She has a great and easy going personality that makes her real fun to work with. I absolutely loved the shoot and the laughs throughout. Very Highly Recommended.

Unlike Paul below I had not made a fall back plan in the event of awful weather and I decided not to continue with our planned shoot. This was a great shame as I had seen Tigerbelle’s work on other portfolios and was very impressed with her versatility and willingness to experiment in different locations.

Her pre-shoot communications were excellent and she came well-prepared for the shoot (unlike me!).

I hope to arrange a future shoot when she is next in the area as I feel that I missed an opportunity on this occasion.

I was once again very privileged to work with the wonderful and extremely talented Tigerbelle on her recent tour to the Midlands

Unfortunately due to the sudden appearance of snow we had to shoot in my home studio rather than on location in some local woodland, despite the weather this certainly didn't change the fact that it was once again a wonderful shoot full of fun and a small amount of laughter

In my opinion we got some wonderful Image's and I can honestly say with hand on heart that this had to be one of my most favourite shoot's I have ever had since I started this journey

Tigerbelle is more than highly recommended to anyone and everyone looking to get some great pieces of art, you most certainly will not be disappointed pre shoot com's were once again fantastic and I was kept up-to-date with any developments regarding outfits and travel etc

Once again thank you miss for such a wonderful shoot and I hope that we can do it again on your next tour

I've just had my first shoot with Melissa.

Melissa's pre-shoot communications were excellent. She was great company and full of ideas.

February is not the best time for a location shoot, but Melissa rose to the challenge using her experience and professionalism brilliantly, enabling the few images we managed to capture, were exceptional and brilliant. Thanks Melissa for a great afternoon.

Highly recommended!

Well this was another lovely shoot with Melissa, we mixed it up a little and managed to get through a few rolls of film this time too :) As always, 'tigerbelle' excels on the modelling side, but not only that, she's great company as well. All in all, a very enjoyable, relaxed, and productive time together. Of course, after three shoots together, it goes without saying that I'd fully recommend tigerbelle ;)

Thanks again Melissa, it was a lovely weekend :D

I had the wonderful pleasure of spending some time with and working with the fabulous Tigerbelle.

Tigerbelle is totally professional in her work right from the pre-shoot arrangements, throughout the shoot and afterwards. She is super easy to get along with and work with. She can work without direction but when direction is given executes it perfectly.

With her beauty grace and experience it is practically impossible to come away with bad images. The most difficult part of working with Tigerbelle is choosing which images to use.

I highly recommend Tigerbelle, thank you for a wonderful shoot.

I had the most amazing opportunity to work with tigerbelle for the first time today. Tigerbelle presented with the most amazing positive energy whilst also being relaxed and professional. She is bright, cheerful and laid back with the most amazing enthusiasm. I structured the shoot into short pose sessions, each session also marked by a different camera setting. Tigerbelle flowed effortlessly from one pose to another while I composed, focused and clicked away. Tigerbelle is also absolutely committed and perfect when it comes to communication before and during the shoot. She is happy to take direction and is equally happy to assume poses without any direction. This is exactly the shoot that I was hoping for. And tigerbelle aced it! What a beautiful person tigerbelle is, inside and out! Tigerbelle is tremendous fun to work with, gives 110% effort and is extremely highly recommended.

Thank you for the most fantastic shoot today, tigerbelle! I really look forward to working with you again. :)

portrait painting session with Tigerbelle, who was so patient as I struggled to paint a likeness, so tactful on seeing the interim result. There will be a better outcome eventually, promise! Could not ask for a better model, so professional, so encouraging, such good company.

Two sessions with Tigerbelle to end the season of life drawing and as always she gave us some beautiful poses to work on. She is a brilliant model and a lovely person too, wicked sense of humour, very talented and full of surprises. Looking forward to many more sessions next year.

gentle poses today as only just over a bad bought of the dreaded lurgy! Nothing stops Tigerbelle.

Just great! a highly enjoyable session, three beautiful poses and relaxed conversation between. see my page for a sample of last evening's efforts.

Can't overstate what an extraordinary model she is, as well as great company and super efficient on the organisation front, she just keeps coming up with brilliant poses- especially for difficult for drawing rather than photography.

This was my second shoot with Tigerbelle this time a wet day exploring woods and rocks. The pre-shoot comm's were excellent and Tigerbelle was arrived with a selection of outfits and ready to go. Despite the day being wet, Tigerbelle engaged fully with the environment creating great poses, using the tress and rocks. She is very experienced and can add her ideas to the particular shot to get that perfect picture. I found Tigerbelle fun to work with and interesting to talk with. We moved between various location and the time flew by. I can highly recommend Tigerbelle to all photographers.

Thank you

The amazing Tigerbelle has become a regular highlight of our life drawing group, so lucky to have such a brilliant model on the Island, and to know that she can be relied upon. If you have not yet had a shoot with her you are missing a treat!

First shoot with Tigerbelle. Communications excellent, arrived promptly full of ideas and enthusiasm. Totally weatherproof, just shrugged off the less than perfect weather. A shoot with Tigerbelle will get you some great images in anything short of a full hurricane, actually not even sure that would stop her! She takes on board your ideas and offers her own. Highly recommended to any level of experience. Thanks again Tigerbelle, definitely intend to see you again

tyke

Simply the very best ! An amazing repertoire of poses to draw, such a pleasure to work with.
