Had the opportunity to shoot with Melissa on her Scottish tour communication was fantastic date time place sorted a month before the actual date.

Picked Melissa up at the station and on the way to the first venue we discussed ideas for the shoot and came up with some cracking ideas.

Melissa is a joy to work with her movement while possing was a joy to photograph add in her very unique sense of humour and the time passed very quickly.

The end result photos where fantastic and working with melissa was a delight even the light drizzle and slight breeze couldn't stop this shoot happening.

I cannot recommend Melissa highly enough to other photographers if you get the opportunity to work with her you will have a first class model to work with.

Melissa it was a pleasure and a privilege to work with you hopefully will get another shoot next time your up in Scotland AJ XXXX

Tigerbelle planned the shoot well enough in advance to book time off and plan. We had plenty communication and were able to plan some creative shots. She’s very friendly, really easy to work with, a consummate professional, requiring no direction with lots of creative ideas and imagination. A great sense of humour, which was needed given the weather, we had a really good shoot, a wee adventure and fun. I can’t wait for her next trip to Scotland, hopefully a little less rain next time.

Had my first shoot with Melissa last Wednesday on location on IOW at sunrise. This was of special significance to me as I was born there. Thanks to Melissa and family for their hospitality and their dogs!.

I stayed overnight with them and we made a very early start getting up at 4am to get on location before sunrise. Getting to the location proved to be very challenging over rocks and dense undergrowth and woods but worth while as the beach was a magnificent setting in which to work, with its rocks and red pebbles. Melissa was brilliant and we were able to get through a number of different sets despite it being very windy. I hope she didn't catch a cold!.

I would recommend Melissa to any one looking for a shoot that is a bit out of the ordinary and definitely not run of the mill!

Thanks again to Melissa, her family and dogs for the hospitality shown and I look forward to having another shoot although maybe in less challenging conditions.

Cheers John

I had yet another amazing shoot with the lovely Tigerbelle at Fareham Studio.

As always, Tigerbelle gives 100% effort, skill and pose for every shot. We tried a different lighting technique and the results were superb.

She is very professional in her work and considers every minor detail - the result is a very happy photographer and a wonderful set of photos. Great to work with and loads of fun too.

Fully recommended

Had a wonderful shoot with Tigerbelle. Was a late over night shoot a little spooky and a little cold with the wind but that didn't phase Tigerbelle one bit

Always a joy to work with and will be booking for another night shoot in the future hopefully

Had the best day shooting with Melissa for the second time. Very professional, very very relaxed, and very open to my ideas. I'm new to this model photography business, and I do count myself very lucky to work with Mel who was very patient with me while I figured out what I was doing. Highly recommended. And I can't wait until we shoot together again. Thanks Melissa, you really are an angel xx

For the last session we had to have favourite model Tigerbelle ,and what a treat she is to draw. She assumes the most interesting poses and holds them rock solid for ages- every artists dream and quite an achievement in a photographic model. And there is the bonus that she is beautiful as well as funny! Roll on the start of next season .

Had my fifth shoot with the lovely Melissa today, the weather could of been a little kinder, a rather chilly wind :-( , but despite that we got some brilliant images, Melissa is a total professional and great fun to work with and spend time with.

I highly recommend Melissa, and look forward to working with her again.

I was fortunate to have my second shoot with Tigerbelle today, this time in the White Room at Natural Light Spaces in Weedon Bec. I thought that this would be an ideal venue for Tigerbelle to demonstrate her athletic ability to the full and I certainly was not disappointed. In our four hours together, we captured a mixture of images with natural light from the large studio windows, with studio flash utilising the massive infinity curve, plus even a few clothed images outside against the brickwork. The whole shoot experience was great fun with lively banter throughout. Tigerbelle is full of creative ideas and given a great studio space is adept at making the most of it. A thoroughly enjoyable shoot and I highly recommend working with this talented lady.

If you're reading Melissa's references, you may be thinking of booking a shoot with her. Let me save you a little time, just book her, you'll be very glad that you did. As i write this Melissa has 375 positive references and over 90 albums of fabulous images on her port. If that's not convincing enough she has a list on her profile of what you can expect from her. It includes, Reliability, 100% commitment and hard work, A sense of humour and fun, A toned and muscular body, A sense of adventure, Willingness to try new ideas, A love of imaginative work and locations. The list goes on but you get the idea. You get all of those things with Melissa and so much more. Her passion, her pride in what she helps to create. An infectious enthusiasm and a determination to 'get it right'. Add to that, her experience, talent and ability to know what works and what will look good, her amazing physique and her remarkable strength and flexibility.

Melissa is a lovely lady. Kind, thoughtful, witty, has a great sense of humour. She's easy to talk to and get along with and she's an absolute delight to work with. I'm so glad i had the opportunity to meet and work with her and would love to do so again.

Thank you Melissa, it really was a pleasure. X

We had the pleasure of working with the lovely Tigerbelle for the first time at OpenSpace studio and what a pleasure it was, too!

We worked for the whole day and Melissa just wowed us with her boundless enthusiasm, creativity, and energetic willingness to embrace all the ideas presented and then proceed to interpret them so uniquely, all the while, coping with some of the most uncomfortable props and costumes with such good humour!

We really can't recommend Melissa highly enough and anyone who doesn't book this talented, versatile model is really missing a very big trick indeed. Thank you, Melissa.

I like character, wit and kindness in the world.

Melissa has all of these, along with athletic ability and ambition in her posing. All fo them show in the images.

She's far too old and sensible to hang upside down from anything hse can find... And hse does it anyway.

Relaxed, professional - and so much more. Great pictures are bound to follow, of course.

Thank you! Next time, maybe, on the Island?

Recently I had the opportunity to work with Tigerbelle for the first time at her at X factory model day

This lady is simply brilliant, her ability to create art nude poses is incredible, and she can perform incredible suspend poses.

But she also is great fun to work with and can tackle a wide range subjects, from art nude to themed shoots

I only had two hours but the quantity and quality of work we created was amazing

So now I have worked with this incredible lady I can look to set up our next shoot

Very Highly Recommended

I had a secone short shoot when Mel did a studio day at my place The X Factory

She is without doubt one of my favourite models and talking to other togs on the day they agreed She is inventive agile strong has a fabulous look and really knows how to work with the location, the light and the props

Some of the images from the day had me thinking , is that my studio She got some great images with everyone on the day and on a personal note we got images that I hadn't thought of before.

She inspires creativity in you the tog

Top lady

Sometimes shoots go so well that you forget that you have only just met the model for the first time. Working with Tigerbelle was exactly this way, a simply natural experience where we try ideas and create fantastic images.

It’s fair to say that the location gave me challenges, to try to create something different than I’d seen shot before and Tigerbelle’s ability to create a huge range of poses, working with the opportunities presented with some of my unusual ideas seemed a natural extension of her creative process.

For my own practical purposes I reduced my shooting to a set of essential thoughts using what was available and yet Tigerbelle was in possession of just the right pose options each time. This ability is nothing short of remarkable.

Tigerbelle is great company on a shoot, an easy communicator and capable of producing an variety of styles with a willingness to try something different and a fabulous adaptability just adds that little extra to any shoot.

I would absolutely recommend Tigerbelle.

I’m just sorry it took me so long to post this reference.

My second shoot with Melissa, ok the last was 3 years back but that's due to distance not inclination :) this time we shot at the X factory a great location and she did not disappoint, a very agile inventive model that I can not recommend enough :)

Managed to grab a shoot with Tigerbelle whilst she was on tour in the area, which had been planned well in advance.

Loved shooting with Tigerbelle & her physique & shapes are just awesome. We shot at my studio & Tigerbelle utilised a few props in many ways :) & went beyond the call of duty to ensure we got some great shots.

Had a fun shoot & really enjoyed our time together, although sliding off the table at the start of the shoot is a real ice breaker haha.

Highly recommended.

Thank you for a great shoot Tigerbelle

The perfect model for natural outdoor location work.

Slim and bendy suits the type of look I am trying to achieve in my creations. Tigerbelle is chatty and friendly creating a relaxed and informal shoot, the sort I love.

It is a shame she lives so far away as I would be shooting regularly with her.
