“I’ve never felt as comfortable being photographed as when Jill stepped into the frame. I'm not a model, but I've been photographed many times for my work, and in order to feel comfortable it takes a certain click, and Jill has it. It’s tough being yourself in front of the lens, but with Jill, you feel like you're on a night out with a mate. She rids you of any doubts that you deserve to be in the shot. I can't wait to work with her again.” Siobhan O’Connor, broadcaster
