Shot with Melissa as part of a group shoot at Eye for an Image in Banbury. What a consummate professional, tried her heart out and formed shapes that only she can, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any photographer. Great shoot many thanks. X

What's left to say about the wonderful Melissa?

Flawless communication, pro-actively keeping me apprised, in ample time, of her changing commitments and giving me every opportunity to choose how to work around them. In the event, we decided simply to reschedule this one to a different date.

She turns up, and just gets on with the job, effortlessly switching from high fashion styles to art nudes, intimately aware of how the camera sees her, and all the time ready to offer ideas when asked. Oh, and wonderfully friendly and chatty during the shoot too!

Do I recommend her to others? We've done 6 shoots now and already have the next one already planned and two more in the planning stages - you work it out!

Just had a fantastic first shoot with Melissa. She is an absolute delight to work with, full of personality and laughter and boy can she switch on the modelling! Mel creates wonderful angles, has bags of expression and just oozes on camera.

Mel's professionalism made everything go so easily and the time flew by. I came away with bucketloads of shots, can't wait to work with Mel again soon which I shall swiftly be arranging!

Some models make life easy for a photographer. They send a text to say they are leaving home and another to say they have arrived in London and will turn up shortly. When you have a big shoot planned with lots of people counting on the model turning up on time it really makes a difference. Mel did that and it really helps start the day in a relaxed manner ! She sustained a great attitude and work ethic through a long day of workshops with amateurs and semi pro's and was a real pleasure to have around. I immediately booked her for another day. Can't give a better recommendation than that !

Melissa is an amazing model with whom I have had the undoubted fortune to work with nine times in the last two years. Her long legs and arms and tiny waist are perfect for fashion and art nude as amply demonstrated by her portfolio. She has an inate sense of balance and can create superb poses effortlessly including perfect symmetry. Her preshoot communications are always good and she is highly reliable. As one might expect after that number of shoots we understand each other and the shoots go like clockwork, mind you that also applied to shoot number two and each of the subsequent shoots whether in studio, grand mansion or outside location. Mel is someone I will never tire of shooting and I look forward to the many more rewarding shoots to come.

I met Melissa Tongue at Scarlet Door a few weeks ago. From the very first email to set up the shoot it was obvious that Mel was going to fun, organised and totally professional. I wasn't disappointed. She was simply fabulous to work with, I explained what I thought I wanted and she just got on a made it happen. If like me you're a beginner, she is ideal to take your images to another level. Don't miss out!!!

Great shoot with Melissa today at Scarlet Door. Adapted to my style very easily and needed a minimum of direction once an idea was implanted. Hope to shoot her again soon.

Melissa is a professional and creative model and I shot with her at a Paul’s Studio event where she covered a wide range of scenes and poses with ease, reflecting her broad modelling experience. Melissa is fun to shoot with and never once complained about the cold or jumping up and down 100’s of times just so I could get the perfect shot. Unexpectedly I also discovered that Melissa is the Queen of the “hair flick” being able to reproduce the perfect hair halo time after time, which is pretty rare in my experience. I will certainly be shooting with Melissa in the future and highly recommend her to any photographer looking for a really amazing model. Thanks Melissa

I shot Melissa as part of a group shoot organized by Paul's Studio at the Manor House.

Melissa was great to work with, very helpful and had no problem working with a relative beginner like me, and was very good at turning my vague ideas into great poses.

I'd like to shoot with Melissa again.

I had a fantastic shoot with Melissa two weeks ago. Pre-shoot communication was excellent. She arrived on time. Melissa is tall with an amazing figure. She needed no directions. She was full of ideas on poses which made it easy for me. She was fun to work with and she has a great sense of humour. All the shots are wonderful. I will definitely work with her again when she is up here in future. I would recommend any photographers to work with her. You would not be disappointed.

Would definitely work with her again which we already made plans to! Definitely book her while you still can she will for sure be snatched up xx thankyou again for a fantastic shoot! xxx

I had a most enjoyable shoot with Melissa today. She is an excellent model and very easy to work with. The time really went very quickly and having reviewed the images from the shoot I'm really delighted with the results. I have no doubt we'll be working together again. Highly recommended.

Spent a fun afternoon shooting with Melissa in a boutique hotel location during a group workshop. She moves extremely gracefully and is stunning in front of the camera. Easy to work with and easy to create memorable images...highly recommend!

I had my second shoot with Mel today which is great as I was lucky she was available as she is such a busy bee! Her posing was great needing little direction and absolute natural in front of the camera. Very easy going and lovely to work with. Highly recommended!
