Second shoot with Rachel, I had forgotten how lovely her smile is. Arrived early with bags full of fab outfits, all different to last time, again it was a job to know which to use first.

Very patient while I try different lighting setups. Up for anything, such a versatile model, changing her look with ease, really fun to work with. So bendy and strong, pose with ease creating sexy and beautiful shapes, balancing in precarious places and going beyond the pain to get that picture.

Highly recommended to togs of any level and already planning our next shoot.

Thank you Rae

Our 3rd shoot together and no 4 in the planning. Rae is a fabulously fit, toned gymnast and also an accomplished fire performer. Totally elegant and natural on the circus silks something we have wanted to capture for a while. Flowing gowns and beauiful muscle definition made this a great opportunity to capture this type of art. If you want to capture something different this is your lady. Thanks for a fabulous shoot, Looking forward to our next session. 100% recommended... xxx

I met Rachel when she answered my casting call for an Autumnal Ethereal Woodland Shoot.

She had obviously given the shoot some thought and suggested a better location than my original idea. She also came prepared with great costumes and accessories.

Not only was she enthusiastic in helping with my ideas but made her own suggestions to 'get the shot'. I would never have suggested climbing a tree in high heels, but she saw no problem and even enjoyed the challenge she'd set herself.

Thanks Rachel for an enjoyable and productive couple of hours creating images.

I would recommend Rachel 100% to all photographers.

This was my second shoot with Rachel Bared when this we were using video cameras. Three of them actually one fixed one mobile and one on the floor looking up as Rachel went through her routines. An amazing time and we are shooting her at a live show soon.

Great organiser with flair and poise.

Very highly recommended. The images on PURPLEPORT are video grabs and a link to the video's soon to appear.

Second shoot with Rachel, this time with her partner shooting circus stuff on trapeze and floor. A pair of very friendly and talented girls. Well worth shooting with if you want something a little different and that requires a special skill set, which they both possess. They can do stuff other models can only dream of aspiring to. Third shoot being arranged, says it all.

If you live in the South West/Bristol then you ought to shoot with Rachel, well worth it.

Shoot Rachel and her partner last weekend on a circus themed shoot. Pre-comms were excellent and she also arranged the location for the shoot which was brilliant. We worked through a number of sets and outfits which suited my vision perfectly.

Hope to work with her again very soon.

Second time working with the lovely, extremely fit and talented Rae. Great to work with someone who has a clear vision of what the shoot should produce.

This was a shoot I have wanted to try for some time, and I was not disappointed. Be warned this was a very messy session, but also loads of fun.

Gymnast Rae gave it 100% to achieve the results we both wanted. Great to work with and has some great moves.

Thanks for a fun session. Already planning shoot no3.

Very difficult - and probably impossible - to add to the superlatives that other photographers have heaped upon Rachel in these references. She's a very fine lady, and an excellent model - intuitive, intelligent, witty, welcoming, encouraging, and helpful. My shoot with her was very successful, and I can recommend her without qualification.

Shoot at Glastonbury Tor with "fire performer's and gymnasts" Rachel and Shaine. Amazing and dangerous crazy ladies with a contagious enthusiasm for their art. Just hope my images captured the atmosphere of the night. Already arranged another shoot. Definitely recommend.

My shoot with Rachel was an unplanned bonus. I was already shooting with her shooting partner Shaine in the morning, when I had a cancellation in the afternoon. I had the studio booked the whole day so a last minute request to Shaine to see if Rachel was able to join us in the morning worked out great.

I was starting to fade as the afternoon rolled round, but with Rachel arriving I got my second wind. Her athleticism/acrobatic ability in incredible and she managed some incredible poses.

Her acrobatic posing both on her own and with Shaine was incredible and unfortunately my photography skills didn't do them justice.

That just means I will have to book another shoot which I will try and do next time I am in the country!

Absolutely Fabulous

Perfect communications, full of encouragement and liking my ideas, made me really looking forward to this absolutely fabulous shoot.

Arrived in good time with so many fun outfits, it was a job to know which one to use first.

Extremely interesting and lovely to talk to. A beautiful smile, happy, positive, sexy, brave, confident, friendly, hard working, strong, bendy and amazingly toned lady.

Kept coming up with ideas, a brilliant and imaginative eye for a picture. Kept creating beautiful shapes, jumping around like a gazelle, balancing in dangerous places, getting cuts and grazes and still keep coming back with a smile, ready for the next shot.

Rachel thanks for a absolutely fabulous shoot, you were perfect. I love the pictures and hope to work you again. Highly recommended :-)

Wow, just Wow, Wonderful shoot with Rachel, she is a wonderful model, you need her in your portfolio if you're in the South West or Bristol.

Pre shoot coms could not of been better, everything laid on (inc. tea and bikkies) for when I arrived.

She is a very flexible girl and has great ideas of how to make the most of her location.

An 11 out 10 girl, we shall be shooting again before too long.

Really great fist shoot with Rachel

pre shoot communication and time keeping were spot on. She has a great 'can do' attitude and her flexibility and strength make for an excellent combination, got some amazing shots I hadn't even thought of at the start.

Highly recommended.

Had my first shoot with Rachel today and I can't recommend her highly enough. She REALLY contributed to the shoot, not only suggesting a couple of first-rate locations, but also made a great contribution to the style of photo taken. Rachel's amazing agility ensured some pleasingly different shots!

And.... Rachel's amusing, which means not only is the shoot pleasurable and very often entertaining, time flies by. Oh, and she makes a crackin' cup of tea....

Highly recommended.

I had my first shoot with Rachel yesterday and it was a delight from start to finish!

Pre-shoot comms were great, and we had a clear idea of what we wanted to achieve from the shoot.

Rachel is a lovely lady, with a beautiful face and an incredibly toned physique, who is able to pose effortlessly without direction.

She is very strong and flexible and able to hold any number of mind-bending poses.

I can't recommend her highly enough, and I'll be sure to work with her again soon.

I had an excellent home shoot today with Rachel.

Her pre-shoot comms were first class, we very quickly had our shoot details sorted.

She had loads of ideas and we had several costume changes. Her posing was effortless and took the minimal of direction and She is so flexible, we got some amazing poses.

Her physique is incredible, strong and muscled but still very feminine.

I can't recommend Rachel highly enough. She was a joy to work with and I'm looking forward to us working together again.

Thank you Rachel.

Wow!! pretty much sums this lady up.

I was delighted to be able to work with Rachel a few days ago on some performance images for her portfolio. She is just delightful to work with and had plenty of ideas, energy and sheer 'bendiness' that it was difficult getting the image list down as everyone seemed like a winner.

Her background in the performing arts gives her strength, agility, fluid movement and posing like no other. Given her area of performance and expertise, she has wonderful musculature, physique & strength which is incredible. Needless to say she had loads of energy and we just had a great shoot.

Hopefully we will get the opportunity to work again on another project, book her now as she is Very Highly recommended.

Thanks Rachel
