References for Nicole Rayner

Had a second shoot with Nicole last Sunday, and as this was an full day's shooting, it's definitely worth another reference! It was hot. We had a full set-list and it was a fabulous shoot. We got some great results!

Despite being one of the busiest models on the planet, Nicole's communication is always timely and to the point.

Now that I've spent a whole day working with Nicole I can confirm she is just lovely to work with. It was a very hot day and yet Nicole's enthusiasm and level of effort were still up there as I shot the last frame at 7:05pm!

Nicole really engages with the process - and the images we produced benefited greatly not only from her look and posing ability - which is exceptional btw - but from from her ideas on costume, style and overall feel of the image. It's so great to work with creative people on-set and Nicole's extensive experience, both as model and photographer and her active imagination are incredibly valuable assets to any shoot.

Nicole is a very open and genuine person, and a delight to be around. We had a right laugh throughout the day and the time just flew by. We spent some time talking about future projects and I'm looking forward to bringing those to life with Nicole's help!

One the best models I've worked with and highly recommended!

Had a fabulous location shoot - 4 models, 12 photographers. Each model gave 110% into the shoot and made sure all photographers were happy with the results. An awesome day altogether! Many thanks Keira; Donna; Rachelle & Nicole. So pleased to have worked with you all again. Jann. :-)X

I shot with Nicole as part of a group shoot. Nicole certainly lives up to her reputation as a beautiful, talented and versatile model who is determined to get the best pose for the desired result. Nicole was prepared to go into pools and up waterfalls all in the name of her art. She is also great fun to work with. Nicole Rayner is highly recommended by me. Pete

This was a location shoot involving especially a near vertical waterfall of some considerable height. Nicole is absolutely fearless and climbed all over the location. An absolute natural for art nude poses, she flowed from pose to pose and has that special ability to produce something extraordinary for the photographer. I really enjoyed working with her and wouldn't hesitate to work with her again should the opportunity arise. Thank you for a great day.

Thurston Lodge

Nicole stayed at Thurston Lodge for 3 days and did some amazing shoots during that time.

It was an absolute pleasure to have her stay. A vibrant and wonderful lady who is fearless and pushes the boundaries to create amazing shots. A fun person to be around I very much look forward to her return visit.. Highly recommended

Visually mind blowing shoot with Nicole at Thurston Lodge!

Nicole has an energy that lets a passionate photographer easily get creative and inspired to produce fantastic images.

I loved they way it was so easy to collaborate, bouncing ideas back and forth, and I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough!

As a photographer you owe it to yourself to book her at least once, to enjoy the 'Nicole' experience.

Nuff said!:-)

A hot sunny day in June, a great location (Thurston Lodge), and beautiful, wonderful Nicole to photograph - does life get much better than this? And it was our 5th shoot together already! Even after 4 previous shoots Nicole can still surprise and delight - she’s always bursting with new ideas and seeking to get the most out of every location, and the way she fearlessly tackles the most challenging obstacles and poses will take your breath away. Her fabulous figure conceals an awesome strength as well as the ability to pose with great confidence, elegance and poise. She is totally professional and extremely hard working, yet always super friendly, warm, funny and a complete joy to work with and to talk to. Nicole is without question one of the great models on the UK modelling scene, and I absolutely love working with her. She is highly creative, courageous and a truly lovely, delightful person. Our next shoot is already booked. I recommend Nicole 100% totally without reservation.

PS: her mam is right, Nicole sure is very pretty :)

Had a workshop today and our model of the day was Nicole who I have worked with before she was just brilliant,fun and totally stunning and beautiful.She has been awesome this year with her modelling with more to come and I can’t wait to work with her again.Quite simply the best.xx

I'd booked in for a workshop run by the immensely talented Iulia David and Nicole was the booked model. I sort of knew what to expect as I'd followed Nicole on Instagram for a long time and we'd chatted via Facebook numerous times but this was my first chance to actually work with her. I wasn't quite prepared though for just how good Nicole is. From her grand entrance at the top of the (very steep) stairs to the end of the workshop, Nicoles presence fills the room. She's funny, attractive and oh so easy to get on with. Proper down to earth girl with a great sense of humour. At one point I was on the sidelines watching her pose for another photographer and was pretty much in awe of the flow and fluidity of her poses. Simply awesome.

I took along a 1972 Practika LTL 35mm camera loaded with a fresh roll of black and white film and took the chance to grab a few shots with it. It'll be interesting to see how they come out. All in all a great way to spend an afternoon with some very talented people. Nicole comes very highly recommended and hopefully, we can work together again sooner rather than later.

Had another AMAZING shoot with Nicole at the Hacienda, what a beautiful combo that is! As always Nicole is such a friendly and welcoming person, she had loads of outfits and was looking great as ever. I had an idea that I ran by Nicole and she loved it, so we were straight in. We managed to capture nicoles personality and superb modelling skills in a really cool video! I can't wait to work with her again.

I had a shoot with Nicole last month at the Hacienda and had a great time. We spent 6 hours doing various concepts and I enjoyed every moment of it. We discussed a few looks prior to her trip to London and she came prepared. During the photoshoot, she was really relaxed. She followed instructions really well and understood very quickly the look and feel that I was after. So much that, half way through the shoot, I did not even have to finish the sentence and she already anticipated the pose/adjustments that I was after, even though the concept that I was going for was out of comfort zone. This is how good she is.

In addition, Nicole was easy to get along with, communicated well during the shoot and even suggested some ideas as we were reviewing some of the back of the camera shots. This made the collaboration stronger. Highly recommended. Thanks again, Nicole for a wonderful shoot. I can't wait to work with you again! : )

Second shoot with Nicole today and once again Nicole was smashing it out of the park. We shot some more pictures today plus some video. Nicole had outfit choices available and we were zooming through poses and setups capturing stunning images.

Towards the end of the shoot, we shot some video and Nicole understood some shots I wanted to try to get and even suggested some poses that would work and suggested ideas too. I think we got some stunning video images too.

Really love working with Nicole as she seems to bring out the best in whoever she works with be it they are behind the camera or working with her in front of the camera.

Had my first shoot at the Hacienda with Nicole and had a ball :). I had a few ideas and themes to work through with Nicole and she was great. She helps the shoot with her ideas & knowledge of photography and getting the most from the shoot. She is fun and very comfortable to work with. Looking forwards to the next time we can work together. Highly recommended :)

Had my second shoot with Nicole at the Hacienda, this time as a 1-to-1 rather than on a workshop. Once again, she was great, with loads of ideas, great advice and help with setup. She worked really hard to get the shot and I have a lot of good images from the shoot. Despite taking the time to make sure we really got every look nailed, we managed to get through 7 different looks/setups in a 4-hour session - she works hard.

Nicole is fun and a genuinely nice person. I would highly recommend Nicole to photographers of all levels and I'm sure I will shoot with her again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole on a shoot at the Hacienda. She was beautiful very professional and versatile! I did her makeup and hair. She explained to me that it should have been her look and I tried to satisfy her as best I could. And her face is very suitable for any kind of makeup. I was impressed by how she managed to express something with all the clothes and poses she took. I look forward to work again with her again. Highly recommended

My second shoot with Nicole this time at The Hacienda which I have fancied shooting at for some time, as with the first time, everything went smoothly resulting in lots of great images to work through, so I expect to be in front the computer for some time.

Every shoot with Nicole is always creative. I managed to get a couple of hrs today with Nicole (and will again in a couple days time) during her residence at The Hacienda during most of this week. I know when I'm working with Nicole on images she will give 100% and then some. Even though we only had a couple of hrs, we got through several different styles and outfits, with Nicole having a genius idea of making an outfit only of jewellery.

Looking forward to seeing what we can create in a couple days time as we've discussed some ideas already.

As if you hadn't have guessed, I highly recommend Nicole as both a model, for her creativity both in front and behind the camera and generally just a great person all around.

I had my first shoot with Nicole yesterday at the Hacienda Studio. What can I say - it was a simply wonderful shoot!

Nicole is a delight to work with, easy to get on with and professional. She has great ideas and we discussed each lots of options for shots. The results were excellent and there are many many beautiful shots from the shoot. Nicole was able to interpret my ideas and produce a range of lovely poses. She had a wide range of outfits to choose from.

This was a four hour shoot and the time went quickly. It was a very relaxed but very productive shoot.

Highly recommended, and I look forward to our next shoot.
