Into Darkness

Working with Nicole was the perfect end to August for me.

Fantastic model, excellent ideas and knowledge of the working area (I'd travelled to there, not the other way around) and fantastic results.

Wonderful, fun, amazing shoot. Would work with again, if my sanity could handle the awesomeness so soon.

What can be said about Nicole that hasn’t already been said.

She has endless energy, she’s fearless,effortlessly cranking out one great pose after another without direction, but able to specifically apply my direction when I needed it. Poses were strong and geometric and yet soft and feminine.

She is elegance and naughtiness and has the creative mind of a good photographer so is constantly coming up with ideas for what might improve the shot too.

Excellent pre shoot communications, Nicole is a joy to work with

Had another wonderful shoot with Nicole today at the Sanctuary Studio. This was my third shoot with Nicole and, as before, it was an amazing shoot with many many beautiful images captured across a range of styles and locations in the studio. This was another natural light shoot.

Nicole is always great to work with, very professional, a great collaborator and has a lovely personality. Posing is excellent.

What more can I say - highly recommended!

I had a great last minute shoot with Nicole today. Friendly, chatty and very professional model. She has hundreds of different poses.

Highly recommended!

I had the great pleasure to have Nicole visiting me in my hometown in Sweden for two days. And it was awesome.

We met and had a nice time catching up and I got Nicole to her accommodation. On the morning after, the first of our two full days of shooting, the weather had turned pretty bad. We found shelter from the rain close to where I live, and since we're Team Guerrilla, we shot some nudes just looking out for dog walkers. I had to adjust my plans for the day because of the weather, and we went to a castle and into the castle gardens, where we once again went into guerrilla mode and did some nudes there which turned out pretty cool. But the weather ruined the rest of the day pretty much, and while that does suck at the same time since Nicole is such a little bundle of joy and pretty awesome to hang out with, we did chat and had fun anyways despite that we couldn't shoot anymore.

Day two started out better, and we got some pretty sick shots at a nature reserve close to my hometown. And I really got to experience the awesomeness of Nicole's climbing skills and to the lengths of what she is willing to go to get cool shots. Though she scared the crap out of me, when she was climbing out of my sight and had a close encounter with a black grass snake, (which is non venomous but she couldn't know that) and I heard her scream. It must have been scary for her, and it sure scared the crap out of me since I first thought she fell down from the cliffs.

We had a bit of bad weather as well this second day, but could continue to shoot and I have to say that the day was pretty successful and we got some epic shots.

I guess this is more a story about these days than a proper reference, but since we've shot together twice before, I've already written a couple of references of how awesome Nicole is in every way. But once again I have to say that she is so damn much recommended, it is nearly silly. And I can't wait for our next time of photographic shenanigans.

Go Team Guerrilla! :)

Had the great pleasure of shooting with Nicole the other day. She is very easy and accommodating to work with and very open minded. We did a 2 day shoot and everything went smoothly. Nicole is a very creative poser and know how to utilise her forms in the best possible manner. Great experience all in all and we created some fantastic images together.

Wow.my 4 shoot with this lovely young lady.

Did my home work on this one.

Wentry up to the north Yorkshire moors two times looking for waterfalls.

It paid off big time.Nicole turn up on time at Scarborough we drove up to whitby. We got to 5 off the waterfalls out of 8 I had been to.

How we did not end up in a and e.

I will never no?

I slid down a steep bank on my back.

Nicole decided to swim to the last big waterfall. Fallings into the water two times. Slipping of the slippery rocks.

Can not thank her enough we got some amazing photos and had some loughs along the way.

Amazing lady love working with you.

It was 10 minutes into my shoot with Nicole that I realised she was no ordinary model. She’d told me she liked to climb things but little did I know that included scaling a two storey derelict building or a 30 foot cliff face, nude, above a foaming sea. Seriously, this girl is the love child of Spider-Man and Marilyn Monroe!

But over the course of our weekend adventure, I learned that there is much more to Nicole than bravery and athleticism. She is totally committed to the craft of modelling and does not do average - she is constantly seeking to improve and excel. Always looking to find that unique and often spectacular shot, Nicole has a versatility and sometimes a vulnerability about her that begs to be captured. That level of professionalism, effort and panache cannot fail to inspire any photographer.

Away from modelling, Nicole is brilliant fun; warm, friendly, honest and engaging, an old head on young shoulders if ever there was. Plus she has that very rare thing, character. Thank you for a memorable and totally absorbing couple of days full of moments of beauty; everything I could ask for and more.

First shoot with Nicole, and she absolutely lives up to all those positive references!

She very clearly enjoys what she does, and is one of the most adventurous and imaginative posers I have had the pleasure to work with. Never afraid to give something a go, she delivered countless amazing art nude shapes with nothing more than two curved wooden boxes, in both classic and quirky styles. My own problem is choosing which shots to use!

And if that wasn't enough, Nicole shoots a damn fine portrait and has the self-confidence to go bananas for some end of shoot silliness as well :-).

Lots of laughter, and a highly productive afternoon. Nicole is a dream to work with, and I very much look forward to booking her again.

Highly recommended.

What a wonderful day I had shooting with the stunningly beautiful Nicole in picturesque (but slightly damp) Yorkshire. Nicole's pre-shoot communication was excellent. Not only is Nicole a brilliant model but she has such a lovely warm personality and it was great to shoot with her but also to spend time chatting with such a great person. Nicole is able to create a complete range of poses and moves effortlessly between poses in creating strong and powerful imagery. In spite of the inclement weather for most of the day Nicole put up with the wet to capture the best images possible for the photographer. We visited a lovely waterfall and Nicole posed on cold and slippery rocks to create some stunning images. Very Highly recommended to all photographers. I can't thank you enough, Nicole, for such a fun filled creative day and I'm looking forward to the next time we can shoot together. X

If you have worked with Nicole you know she doesn't need another ref off me if you haven't worked with Nicole WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU BOOK THIS LADY!!! Not ONLY fabulous posing directed or not but a right good laugh. The time just flies by. And she is great at organising shoots and being the boss. Thanks Nicole Definitely recommend!!!!

I've already left 2 references for Nicole as a model, for which her impressive abilities are already well documented.

This then is a reference for her organisational skills, which were well represented at an event I attended recently. Nicole had arranged 3 top models (1 being herself) for the event and it was very enjoyable indeed.

Even allowing for the relatively short time with each model it was still possible to be very productive.

I enjoyed this event very much, and would recommend others to Nicole's events as well.

One who has worked with Nicole Rayner cannot but praise her highly. She is quite good in posing, she is so easy to work with. I could hardly believe that she only has two years of experience.

And as a bonus she -regularly- organises events that are worth your while.

I attended the "Last nude event at Atlas Studios", which she held at a great location together with Ivory Flame and Ella Rose. I met and worked with other like minded photographers. The whole day was full of inspiration - and I returned home with big smile. The results speak for themselves.

So there you have it: Highly Recommended!

I have worked with Nicole a few times now and she just gets better and better,she organised the event at the studio we went to with herself and two other models who i have never worked with before but where always on my tick box to do so.It was brilliantly organised by Nicole totally enjoyed meeting the other photographers and working with Nicole with more to come in the next few weeks.

I had my second shoot with the fabulous Nicole at another of her art nude events, this time at Atlas Studio with Ivory Flame and Ella Rose Muse. Once again the time flew by, but it was certainly worth the 8 hour round trip!

Nicole is a truly fantastic model to work with – she has boundless enthusiasm and creativity, is willing to go to any lengths to capture that perfect shot, and has such a lovely bubbly personality.

She is amazingly flexible and athletic and never shy to shin up the nearest pole, climb a door frame etc. To sum up, Nicole is brilliant and I am already planning my third shoot with her – this time hopefully for a much longer session. Extremely Highly Recommended.

Owen Lloyd

Now I've left 2 references for Nicole already. I added the second one after we shot for a full day, and I'm adding this one because this time I saw another facet of Nicole's talents: this time, as well as the unstoppable force of nature she is, along with supreme modelling ability we also saw Project Manager Nicole as she organised and managed a full day's shooting with 2 other models and I don't know how many photographers :-/

The shoot ran like clockwork with Nicole ensuring everyone was where they needed to be and it was a very enjoyable and productive morning. I shot with Nicole for our 40 minute slot and we made some more fantastic images together. Thanks for a great day Nicole :)

Ella Rose Muse

Nicole is brilliant! I've modelled alongside her before and modelled for her when she had her photography hat on, and she remains as talented as ever on both sides. She has such a fun and vibrant personality (the epitome of down-to-earth northernness to my southern mind...!) and was a pleasure to work alongside at the trio event she organised with Ivory Flame and I at Atlas Studios in Bolton the other day. The day ran perfectly and the three of us hope to do it again sometime. Nicole is a creative, engaged (by which I mean she cares a lot about the images...) model, happy to work hard to create interesting shapes and poses, and also does her make up beautifully. She is deservedly popular! :-)

Richard Spurdens

Had a great days shooting organised by Nicole at Altas Studio in Bolton. She had selected two other great models to work with on the day: Ella Rose muse and Ivory Flame. It was a great to work with Nicole solo and then in the Trio set with the other models. They worked well together to make some strong trio images.

Thanks again Nicole for a great event.

Mark Abel

I've worked with Nicole a few times now, most recently at Thurston Lodge and Guy's Cliff. Nicole has bundles of energy and a very warm personality that make shoots relaxed, enjoyable and very productive. Her event at Guy's Cliff with three other incredible models was fabulous and well organised. I'm happy to recommend Nicole and I'm sure we'll be shooting again in the future.

Gary Stuart

Had another amazing shoot with this very talented girl who works very hard to make sure you get the best image possible.

Nicole is a beautiful lady with a personality to match.

We planned to do a location shoot but I managed to pick the only day this summer when it rained.it was nice when we started out but as soon as we got to the location it hammered it down so back we went to York.

I Managed to get a few fashion shots by the river but then had to go indoors to Nicole's lovely flat.

We soon came up with some ideas with a lot of input from Nicole

Which saved the day.and we got some great images.

I can't prase Nicole enough

Full of talent.ideas,and really good fun to work with.

Already looking forward to the next time we shoot.

Thank you Nicole for a great day.
