I had the of being guided around Yorkshire by Nicole for a day.

She was a great guide and we visited some lovely pre-planed location, and even shots in some fields that we came across.

She poses without direction, but she also listens to my directions when given. she is a great model and very professional.

would I recommend her? definitely YES.

(This was our third shoot) and if it is up to me there will be more

Firstly, I have just read a lot of the references on here already and if they don't get you booking Nicole then I don't know what will ! I will only pretty much be echoing what's said, but I would like to put it in to my own words.

This lady literally wraps you in her light upon first engagement with her, whether that's pre-comms on PP, meeting in person or on the phone. Her passion in her work speaks volumes. Highly inspiring, dedicated artist.

Her posing skills are extensive and her attitude to her work ethic is impeccable. Anyone in her company is treated professionally but at the same time so cared for and left to feel at ease in her company.

Alongside all of this, Nicole posses a wicked sense of humour and if you haven't even cracked a smile since being in her company, then the blame lies with you as her uplifting energy is so infectious!.

Highly recommend.

Much love,

I too was a part of the Rayner Experience in Bergerac :). It was my first experience of a photography holiday abroad but Nicole made sure it was not only a good one for the photography but something I'll remember.

Nicole organised the accommodation, food, shooting locations and 2nd model. There were a couple of challenges with shoot locations but part of what makes a professional is how you handle situations and turn them around. Nicole dealt with everything that turned up with an energy and smile that was impressive. Nicole is an awesome model but I already knew this, she successfully organised this trip at short notice after another she was due to be on was cancelled.

The trip wasn't perfect but it was her first trip she organised and she threw herself into making it work and that the group were happy with what they were getting and I'm very happy with the results. The other model she organised to come with us (Alana IV Ray) was an excellent choice.

I like what James wrote referencing her as an unstoppable force, she certainly is but she's also an amazing model and having spent a week with her I got to see what a lovely person she is as well. Very much recommend her

Nicole is an incredibly professional model but despite this if you were not possibly shooting her nude; within a very short time of meeting her she will begin to feel like your very beautiful charming sister.

I shot her as part of a group shoot in France which she competently totally organised for us. I highly recommend the next one she organises. There is not enough space here to describe her capabilities. Let’s just say on one shoot she did a trapeze act in the broken window of a large old house, picking up a few cuts. If you don’t have any ideas she will have loads which includes excellent location finding skills.

I can’t recommend her enough.

I hope to shoot with her soon.

Went on Nicole’s trip to Bergerac along with 4 other photographers and Alana IV Ray modelling alongside Nicole.

Amazing trip put on by Nicole at very short notice. She had pre scouted plenty of locations online before heading to France, and this research provided us some great locations to shoot in. While in France, not only did Nicole model, she also cooked for the group, organised the days, and managed everything.

For an art nude model she had loads of outfits to use if required, which suited the vibes of the locations. She was ready at all times and nothing seemed to much trouble.

Whether posing solo, or with other model on the trip, she put 110% into everything. Poses without direction well, takes your ideas on board as well as giving her own. She is eager to help both the photographer and other models produce the best possible result. When it comes to editing she gives great little tips to really enhance the final image.

Thanks for a fantastic time Nicole, we got so many top pictures going to take a while to choose what to use.

'I survived the Rayner Experience', in Bergerac, France!

Along with the fantastic Alana IV Ray and 4 other photographers.

Despite circumstances, problems, we worked through it.

Nicole was a star, a trooper, an unstoppable force, a gem...

I could go on and on, but truely one of the nicest people I have worked with.

Then there is Alana IV Ray...

Very creative, great spirit, versatile. When a model is collaborating creatively, that is heaven, and Alana does this.

After 5 days, a little worse for wear and tired, but some fantastic images...

So glad I was there!

Do I need to say I highly recommend Nicole, or Alana anymore?

(What went on in Bergerac, stays in Bergerac):-)

Why do 3 days take so long to get here then are gone in what seems like a beat of an angels wings, because this is what it’s like working with Nicole she is a fabulous model a true professional and trooper (considering the weather over the 3 days).

We managed all sorts of different shots and locations some very public but she stormed through the ideas I had and that we could do.

She is very well traveled of late and extremely busy young lady who I only have total admiration for and you will get the shot you are after working with her.

Can’t wait for the next shoot...just book her.

Thank you 🙏🏻 Nicole (find the 🌞)

This the second shoot with Nicole was totally amazing.

Not only is she incredibly beautiful, but has a generous and easy going nature to match. I find her a bubbly bundle of fun, and loving what she does, draws you into an adventure of a lifetime.

Nicole is a total professional, and knowing what you want, needs no direction in working tirelessly to produce the perfect shoot. She is no prude, and produces the most stunning poses you could imaging resulting in truly professional results.

Nicole brings along terrific costumes, that complement her amazing look, and slips seamlessly into character throughout the changes. She is also happy to work with you to achieve a certain look if requested. On pauses between takes, she will also take the care to check, and ensure her hair, makeup , outfit is still in place, or adjusts. Remarkable.

Nicole gets a total recommendation from me, and I look forward to our next shoot.

Thank you Nicole, and Best Wishes.

Fantastic shoot with Nicole on a studio day at Synergy. She's so easy to work with and I've got some great photos as a result.

Thoroughly recommended.

Thanks again, Nicole.

I swear I don't know where Nicole get's her energy from; 36 hours post a trans - oceanic flight, she delivered an energetic fun filled, professional, full on two hour shoot and made it seem like a breeze.

Being bluntly honest, if you don't enjoy working with Nicole; perhaps it's time to consider another photographic discipline...

Book her!

Had my first (and hopefully not last) shoot with Nicole as part of a duo with Angharada. I was initially apprehensive - well a little nervous anyway - as I don't have a lot of duo shot experience but this turned out to be no problem at all. Both models were extremely helpful throughout the shoot and happy to go with my suggestions as well as having excellent ones of their own. Nicole is a pleasure to work with and happy to try most things, including trying to climb up into church windows from the outside (unfortunately it didn't work). The whole shoot was an absolute pleasure and I will definitely work with Nicole again. 100% recommended.

Guy Clix

Had a lovely duo shoot with Angharada and Nicole Rayner, a lovely combination of different hair colours, individual beauty and feminine form. We took advantage of the late afternoon spring weather shooting firstly in the nearby small park area and both ladies helped develop creative ideas taking advantage of the local surroundings and gardens, and secondly, at the hired apartment where we got some great shots with the natural lighting, spiral staircase and bedroom set.

Both ladies very friendly and professional, good at posing either individually or together, with or without direction.

It would be an absolute pleasure to work with either or both together again and they come highly recommended.

Many thx to both x.

Angharada

As a modelling duo she is absolutely FABULOUS to work with. Every model’s dream, and I just wanted to say she is the MOST beautiful soul !! If you do not hire her, you are seriously missing out! I feel blessed to have met this wonderful lady ♥️

Yesterday I had my first shoot at Nicole`s` photography palace.

Nicole is bubbly, enthusiastic, full of creative energy and has a beautiful smile.

I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and I look forward to working with Nicole again.

Highly recommended.

I had my first shoot with Nicole, at her home and some lovely locations nearby, in the glorious April sunshine.

Her professionalism and experience were clear from the start and I had to rethink some of my ideas about what makes an outstanding image. Nicole was happy to work with me to get some great shots, guiding when she knew that an alternate take would give something that I, and importantly, she too, would be delighted with.

It scarcely requires saying that I’d recommend her to others, especially photographers who wish to up their game and produce some really stunning images.

Nicole is a fabulous person, confident in her ability to bring out the potential in those she works with, because she knows her strengths and can communicate them intelligently to others with kindness, charm and good humour.

Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

What can I say about Nicole she is without out doubt one of the best models around today she is muti-talented with her modeling and her own photography as well.

This was originally going to be just a shoot with me and Nicole on the Sunday but end up as a shared shoot with Rachelle Summers on the Saturday and a trio shoot with Alana IV Ray and Maria Jazmin on the Sunday.

Both days where epic Nicole was the perfect host for both days,I’m now into 6 or 7th shoot with her but whose counting I don’t want it to end she is brilliant and a inspirational young lady to work with than you so much for this weekend of wonderful photographic memories.

Shooting with Nicole twice in one week?! Both two different experiences, which is good as shooting with Nicole you'll never get the same sequence of poses in a shoot. Once again Nicole (working alongside Rachelle Summers) provided awesome poses and banter to make for another great shoot. Also Nicole was a great host providing both a location to shoot, local knowledge to shoot outside for a little while and making sure everyone was fuelled with tea (I maybe have been converted to Yorkshire tea) and food. I keep say, working with Nicole will provide you with unique images.

I think this is the final shoot before I go into into double figures doing shoots with Nicole over the last couple years. Why so many? Knows how to pose, helped critique my images when I first started out and has always been reliable as a model and a person. On top of that she's a great photographer in her own right and has a great sense of humor. Always get great and unique results when shooting with Nicole and can highly recommend her.

Conor Irvine Photography

What can I say that hasn't already been said before. Nicole is first and foremost an incredible model but she's an even better person. Genuinely so nice to spend the day shooting with and despite this being our first shoot together I feel like I have known her most my life.

All in all it was a 6 hour drive for the shoot and I would do it again without hesitation.. she's that good!

Nicole... thank you again for shooting with me.. the stuff we captured looks amazing and I couldn't have done it without you. I can't wait to shoot with you again!! :D

Nigel Anderson

This was my second shoot with Nicole and was a group shoot / lighting workshop at Loud and Flashy Studio. Nicole was very professional, able to work with ideas and move from pose to pose and patient as we experimented with lighting set-ups. She is great fun to work with and I would highly recommend her as a model.
