This must be about shoot number 6 with Mel. I love working with her! She creates the most wonderful lines and shapes and is always open to new ideas. I know I will be shooting with her again and she is reliable and always puts in 100% effort.

Extreme luck on my part to get one of Mel's few extra shoots before she has to take some time off. Great communications to set it up, arrived in good time (I was 5 mins late, sorry Mel).

Mel has a new hair style. Beautifully cut and styled, it really, really suits her. Its also great to shoot as it just seems to flow and produces fabulous little effects.

With a stunning classic profile, Mel is a delight to shoot for headshots but then, she's a just a delight to shoot, full stop! A consumate professional, she had all sorts of helpful suggestions and ideas, adapted instantly to the different moods of the sets and has an innate ability to understand exactly what the photographer wants to achieve.

A very, very enjoyable shoot which I definitely intend to repeat when Mel returns to work. Thanks very much, Mel.

I had the pleasure of working with Mel Tongue at Scarlet Door on what appears to be her first and last appearance of 2016. Which is a damn shame as she is a fantastic model who, despite the cold outside, gave 110% during an art nude workshop. At one point we decided to do Bodyscapes, which required Mel to come up with 6 original poses for each attending photographer, and as anyone who knows about these poses can tell you, keeping such a pose rock solid still is exhausting, but she took it all in her stride.

A real pleasure to work with, Mel is both funny and professional, making light work of demanding poses.

Highly recommended.

Mel is a true delight to work with, it is 3 times now and she still wants to come back!!

She is prompt, enthusiastic, great at following my ideas however daft and I always end up with the images that I seek. 100% recommendation.

This was my fourth shoot with Mel

great pre-shoot communications and was on time,

Contributed ideas to the shoot. This was a duo shoot with relentless, mel has more experience of duo fetish work and really put the other model at ease, this helped a great deal.

Love working with Mel, hope to again in 2017.

I'm writing this recommendation as an inexperienced studio photographer, having worked with Mel at Pauls Studio near Reading.

Mel is a fantastic looking lady and was extremely easy to chat to and photograph. She is clearly very experienced and used that to help me capture some fantastic (well for me anyway, any issues are due to the tog rather than Mel!) images.

I felt very comfortable working with Mel and the two hours we had together flew by, the whole session was fun yet extremely productive.If you are an inexperienced tog looking for an experienced model then Mel is ideal to help you create some amazing images. I hope I get to work with Mel again in the future.

I highly recommend Mel, gorgeous, experienced, a lovely person and a great model!!!

I had a shoot will Mel yesterday 7/12/15 at Fine and Dandy Studio.

We had arranged this shoot some months before. Comms were excellent & directions to the studio were spot on.

Mel was very warm & welcoming, chatty & great fun to work with. Professional in every sense.

Her experience really showed when setting up lights.

Had a really enjoyable shoot & would definitely work with her again.

Thank you Mel & I hope your year out goes well for you.

Best wishes

ManCave

I had the pleasure of welcoming Mel into the ManCave recently. Mel is an awesome talented model at the top of her game, she knows exactly how to read and pose for any given theme. She has a fabulous all natural slim and slender figure and is so ideally suited to my preferred art-nude genre an area she is extremely comfortable and at ease working within. Mel is also an extremely like able and easy to gel with character, thus spending the hours away during a studio session passes with a comfortable breeze. I can without hesitation highly recommend Mel.

When I heard that Mel was stopping the shoots for personal reasons I pulled out the stops to squeeze in some time with her.

We've worked together on many occasions and she was on time and perfect, as always. The shoot was good, we chatted most of the time and I got some decent results. The Readinghouse location being ideal.

I shall miss seeing her about, but we'll keep in touch. I really hope that we can work together sometime in the near future.

Pauls-Studio

Mel Stepped in a the last moment for a days workshop and given just an hours notice what can I saw professional always hard working super talented and such a nice personality Mel is a dream to work with and for symmetrical poses gets it right first time. Working with Mel will be missed but be sure she will be back at Paul's Studio for her return first shoot and studio day. But I have booked her for my own personal shoot in December.

Thanks Mel your a star.

Artistic Juice

I had the pleasure of shooting with Melissa for the second time today,and it was every bit as fun as the first

She arrived on time,with a vast amount of clothing,it was fun,with laughs and jokes,and the 4 hour shoot flew by,Melissa is professional,fun to be around,likes a laugh,but can be very serious if the shot needs it,we had many costume changes,and also did some more nude's,i am more than happy with the images i took,and i am finding it difficult to find one i am not impressed with.

I highly recommend a shoot with Melissa,she will not disappoint

I will be booking her again.

Following a couple of turns at sticking around on Purpleport, I finally got round to working with Mel.

Long overdue (my fault) but wow, worth being my returning shoot and bringing me back nicely into shooting.

I shot artistic nude and some lingerie. Mel was very understanding of my attempts to describe odd tweaks to shots I was getting, but basically no direction was needed at all and there was a brilliant, natural flow.

Definitely very much recommended! I'll consider booking her again after her planned time off. Just can't wait to get around to the images and let them do the talking...

Martin..

I could wax lyrical... but

wow! what a professional.. no need to say any more.

I had the pleasure of working with Mel this week and I found her to be an absolute delight to work with.

We didn't have much time but I felt that with the way Melissa works this was not an issue, she is very fast and adapts to instructions very quickly. She poses immensely well, flowing from pose to pose with ease. All I needed to do was give her the odd little bit of direction which made it all very easy for me.

She has a great look, fabulous figure and lovely face- Great hands too! :)

She has a great personality and is lots of fun to work with. Such a kind hearted, considerate person. I do hope that when she returns to modelling that we have the chance to work together again.

Don't miss out on your chance to work with this wonderful model! Highly Recommended without any reservations!

Had the pleasure of working with Mel at Pauls Studio Manor House event. Mel is a lovely person, very easy to work with, she was accommodating of all my ideas even those needing her to lie on a cold wooden floor at the end of a long day! I captured good images and would love to shoot with Mel again.

Astolat

Had a great shoot with Mel at one of Paul's Studio's Manor House days. She is an extraordinary talent. Wonderful poise - she could have been a ballet dancer - and an almost intuitive ability to adopt suggested poses. This is the mark of a true professional, which she clearly is. On top of all this, she is great fun and a really nice girl. It was an all-round delightful experience which I am looking forward to repeating but sadly she is having to take a year out to look after her mum so there will not be much opportunity. Thanks, Mel, you are a real star! ☺️

NuttyMonkey

After a couple of unavoidable postponements, we finally got our act together, which cumulated in our first shoot. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and Melissa arrived punctually and fully prepared.

Melissa has a warm and engaging personality. She interpreted my brief, contributed with her own ideas and worked relentlessly to help me achieve my objectives. She is beautiful, talented, professional and an absolute delight to work with.

I will certainly be working with Melissa again and I would not hesitate to recommend her.
