TE Zine - “My first photo-shoot at Tigz Rice studios was amazing. Tigz has a wonderful welcoming way, and instantly made me feel comfortable. Being a Burlesque photographer, she knew exactly what looks great, and gave me lots of ideas of what would look striking in a picture. It was a enjoyable experience, and I got some truly wonderful pictures from it. A very talented photographer, who I would happily recommend to everyone.”
Bettie Blush – Burlesque Performer - “I was thrilled with Tigz Rice’s photography. I loved her use of light and shadow to create really atmospheric and unique shots; live or posed I thought she got some absolute corkers! Plus she has a wonderful manner and really puts you at ease, which is so important when you are posing for pictures. I would recommend her highly to any performer. ”
Kiki Kaboom – International Burlesque Performer, Host and Cabaret Bombshell - “Tigz gave me constructive advice on the actual shoot, with ideas for poses (I’ve never bevelled so much in my life!!.. But it was worth it!) and generally made me feel great, so I got the great shots I needed. Thanks to Tigz, I now LOOK like the diva I am!!”
Belle Erskine – Singer & Compere - “My first experience with Tigz was a real laugh and a complete first for me in front the camera. Sensing my nerves, Tigz helped me find poses that worked for me and made me feel easy. So much so that I had a go at snapping the camera at her!”
Elizabeth Fitzmaurice – Model - “Tigz is a lovely photographer to work be shot by, with a totally professional work ethic. She has great ideas during shoots with some fabulous props. She really makes you feel very at ease in the studio and knows how to get the best from the model. I am looking forward to our next shoot.”
Daisy Champagne – Burlesque Performer - “I arrived at Tigz’s studio all of a fluster and really unprepared, having forgotten the main prop I wanted to be photographed with. Tigz put me straight at ease and I had a really fun session. The photos came out beautifully and I would highly recommend Tigz. Tigz is thoughtful, talented and knows how to make a woman look good!”
Bettie Bottom Dollar – Burlesque Performer - “Tigz has a fantastic way of capturing shots of my live performances with real depth, and her timing is impeccable – she manages to capture the movements at exactly the right moment, something I find many photographers seem to struggle with when it comes to shooting a moving subject. I would like to give constructive criticism, however, I’ve yet to see a photograph of myself by Tigz that I don’t love!”

Choosing a photographer is like finding a good pair of heels. There are so many out there, and they all have the same function, but what you’re REALLY after is a specific style that fits perfectly and you’ll be able to wear for the whole night. Translating the metaphor into photography terms, you’re going to want photos that fit with your stage persona and will last you the duration of your performing career, or at least until your next major re-invention (whichever comes first).
