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.

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!

After first meeting Melissa over two years ago at a group shoot I finally got to shoot with her properly last night – and it was definitely worth the wait!

Melissa is a wonder, warm friendly and amusing person who works extremely hard to achieve great results. Her ability as a model is unquestionable as is her ability to interpret ideas and execute requests faultlessly. Thank you Paul (Paul’s Studio) for making this opportunity possible and thank you Mel for an excellent shoot.

Melissa has worked at the studio many times always prompt always keen to shoot and hard working too but also creative and professional, Mel is also confident experienced and a really nice person always happy and positive - real delight to work with.
