I had a brilliant shoot with Mel this week and echo her many positive references. She arrived on time and worked hard and very ably to achieve the results I wanted from the shoot. Her bubbly, positive personality made our days work fun too. I recommend Mel very highly.

Had such a fun shoot with Melissa on Monday! She is a really lovely girl - fabulous personality, so easy to get on with and very beautiful. She has travelled around a lot for shoots recently due to being in high demand, yet she was still perky, bouncy and full of energy despite having been all over the country a few days before; she is so full of beans! We got some great images together! Melissa has a fantastic wardrobe, lots of creative ideas and can do her hair and make up to a high standard, has great attention to all the small details that make a shot and is incredibly versatile. She also has one of the best figures I've ever seen. She ticks all the boxes - looks fab, totally professional, reliable, creative, friendly and fun to shoot with. If you have an opportunity to shoot with her, take it :-) xxx

Mel has been applying to go on one of my Cyprus photo-location shoots since I started them in 2012, the problem being at the time of casting for these shoots I was looking for a new and inexperienced model. This year I did the opposite, I gave Mel first option to be my established / experienced model for the first week and I am very pleased that I did. Mel and I go back a long time together, in fact I shot her very first art nude sets some years ago so know each other well.

Mel was totally at home on location spending her time when not shooting topping up her unblemished all over tan, in front of the camera Mel just comes alive, going from pose to pose effortlessly. Happy to have a go at all ideas and suggestions however silly they seemed, knows where the light is coming from to produce the best effect and utilising her vast experience of shooting on location

Add Mel's fun character and nature, interest in the culture and sites of Cyprus and her ability to "fit in" with all around her and here you have not just a great model but also a really nice young lady! Thank you for all your efforts Mel and some great images as well.. Best wishes Paul :) xx

Totally loved shooting with Melissa and all the amazing things said on previous refs are true :)

Shoot arrangement was quick and easy, especially with such an up to date calender.

Arrived early and was ready to shoot in 5mins. Make up and look as required. Doesnt need any direction, but willing to adapt to what you might see as a shot.

One of the most beautiful models i've worked with and also one of the most professional. Beyond highly recommended, should be top of every photographers to shoot list.

My first and I hope not my last with Melissa. This was arranged at short notice, both deciding just the evening before the shoot that we would get together. Melissa arrived on time with a suitcase of outfits, made up & ready to go. What an excellent shoot we had, Melissa flowed from one pose to the next, willingly taking adjustments and direction. As I introduced a theme she took the concept and created from the ideas. A great look and lovely flawless skin tones. A highly professional and friendly model, a very relaxed shoot resulting in some excellent (well I think so) images. Highly recommended.

This was my first shoot with Melissa and what a lovely young lady! The shoot was arranged by keithpics and in the group was Melissa, Crystal95 and I. Full of energy, great team player not forget her superb body plus personality. Definitely a gem and would love to work with you again or if not if you have not worked with her by now please do not hesitate.

Exact a week ago I had a duo shoot with Annie and Melissa. Things went great, starting from the communication, before, during the shoot and after teh shoot. Annie did the pre shoot communication. They were at the meeting point before meeting time, everything perfect organised. Communication at the location before and during the shoot went great. They both were comfortable with each other. We could go through my ideas easily. Changing of sets, shooting style and clothing went smooth.Both had ideas, suggestions to improve my ideas to get better results. I had a great time with them, good conversation around the shoot, both were talkative.I received already a reference the same day!!!!! Hope to show the results of the shoot soon. Highly recommended, surely as a duo but also for a 1 to 1 shoot

I had the pleasure to do a half day shoot with Melissa (together with Annie Moya) in an Amsterdam hotel. I almost canceled the shoot due to a fault on my end, but I'm glad we agreed to continue the shoot. And I'm very glad we did. Melissa has an impressive range of poses and she makes them all look incredible, it's very difficult to take a bad shot with her! I'm already planning my next shoot with her, even though that might not be until next year :)

This was my second shoot with Melissa and it should have been sooner. She is a fantastic model, effortlessly striking great poses with minimal direction. She is professional in her communication and punctuality yet a relaxed and fun person to work with. Very highly recomended.

Melissa is a dream model. She is adventurous [have to be with me :P] and willing to try new things. She puts 110% effort into what she does and does it well. The time shot by and we created a whole range of diverse and interesting images. We have worked together before and I know we shall do so again. I can never run out of ideas with her as her creativity and teamwork just helps makes them happen. Chemistry! :P Highly recommended. :)

Had the pleasure of photographing Melissa at Pauls-Studio in Reading for the first time yesterday. I found her to be very professional in her attitude, very responsive to all directions and ideas for the best shots, great to communicate with and a lovely model. She was a pleasure to work with and I would highly recommend her to all photographers.

Had a great time working with Melissa earlier today as part of a Nudes Exposed one to one workshop.

Melissa is laid back, chatty, fun and an utter pleasure to work with.

She is also highly professional, very elegant and is willing to go the extra mile to get the shot.

Thanks Melissa - Sure we'll be working together sometime soon.

Wow - what a great shoot! Mel was a real professional and flattered my camera skills with her beautiful poses. We shot three very different locations but somehow her style suited them all. Mel's pre-shoot comms were great and she was game for anything which was good as the location required a hilly walk, some scrambling, a bit of glass, a couple of nosey dog walkers and some brambles.

I'd love to work with Mel again.
