Whoop - whoop!! :)

Our second shoot together after about a year, and I think we both felt it was even better than the first. We had such a relaxed day of shooting, and got through some really pleasing sets. One of the best things about working with top girls like Nicole, is the very useful feedback on reviewing the images as you go. It all goes towards creating the best images possible.

Nicole is not only a cracking, and beautiful model, but she has a really lovely, easy going personality, so you instantly feel comfortable; and that's so often the key to a good shoot.

Thanks for a brilliant weekend, Nicole, I loved having you here again x

Oh wow! Where do you start with Nicole!! She ticks every single awesome model box on my list!!

Beautiful - check

Awesome fun - check

Infinitely patient - check

Poses like a machine - check

Endlessly cheerful - check

I'm sure there's a few more but that's my main list!!

Nicole modelled for me on a video tuition day at the awesome Hacienda and really I couldn't have asked for a better model, on hand when she was needed for me to demonstrate certain techniques at a moments notice and the patience of a Saint as I asked her to repeat things endlessly!

Boundless energy, wonderful to be around, truly one of the best!

Thank you!!

Just had a great shoot with Nicole at Hacienda.

Nicole is very easy to work with, she is very bubbly and chatty and is fully involved with the shoot.

I got some great shots and hope to work with her again in the future.

I worked with Nicole for the last 2 hours she had on her studio day at the Hacienda. I wish I had more time to work with her. We had a fun shoot, with lots of great ideas coming to Nicole - I always see shoots as a collaborative process between model and photographer - and I got some lovely images.

I hope to work with her again in the near future - so I guess that's a recommendation :-)!

Nicole is a stunningly pretty young lady and very chatty and friendly so the time just whizzed by. She is incredibly photogenic and her hair seems to stay just where she puts it (with nothing used to hold it apparently!). I will most certainly work with Nicole again - it was an excellent shoot at the Hacienda in East London - which I can also highly recommend.

Thank you Nicole! x

I shot with the lovely Nicole at the Hacienda. Pre shoot comms were excellent and Nicole was very helpful. As well as being stunning, Nicole is bubbly, friendly and chatty. Very easy to talk to. Nicole is very creative and a delight to work with.

Second Glance

Absolutely wonderful second shoot with Nicole this week :)

It's really difficult to describe how amazing is in front of a camera and the brilliance of her creativity, poses and the beautiful quality of her skin

Totally loved working with her especially as Nicole is also great company with a terrific sense of humour - when it comes to moving props, it also turns out she's very strong....

Hope to work with her again as soon as possible

Top, top model :) :)

I had the opportunity to create pictures with Nicole while she was down south this week. Nicole is a true professional in communication, timing, approach before and during the shoot, plus her own brand of engaging charm, on top of which, she is the most stunning beauty. Recommendation is obvious and I trust to be able to shoot pictures with Nicole again - Clive :)

Really cannot say how much I enjoyed this shoot. Nicole is just simply georgeous to work with, she is beautiful, hard working and produces such a creative flow that you cannot fail but to get great images. She has such great form and can use it to create wonderfully structured shots, but also an amazing ability to convey feelings and emotions for more intimate work.

I wish she lived very much closer, as I feel I could work with her time and time gain and it would never be dull

On top of this she is a wonderful soul with such energy and professionalism.

I would highly recommend her to any photographer.

Abstract Reality

It has been an absolute pleasure having Nicole over the last couple days! So I’ll first start off by saying what an amazing model she is. Passionate and unique, she is creative in her posing and really knows what you want to get from the shot. Nicole is bubbly and enthusiastic which really helps, unfortunately I was not in my best health but she was understanding and kept the vibe going. She has an awesome look and knows how to work it, also descisive in styling/looks which is good as I have so much dress up stuff!

Nicole’s stunning portfolio speaks for itself really but not only that she is an absolutely lovely person to be around, I hope I get the chance to shoot her when she is down my way again! Very highly recommended :)

I’ve shot with Nicole so many times now to know that she’s one beautiful, reliable professional and well organised model, such a bubbly and lovely person to work with .

Nicole has such an amazing talent and an infectious modelling attitude.

She has a massive portfolio of poses and is never lost for one, no matter what the set, landscape location or studio always resulting in awesome images. . She makes every second of a shoot a absolute pleasure not only to be photographing her but just to be in her company .

Simply the best ...!!

Nichole is a very bright young lady, knows her job as a model and is a delight to work with. I worked with her for the first time last week, and hope it won’t be the last. Not processed any shots yet but looking through the images there is some realy good stuff.

Image Red

Nicole has just finished tw studio days at Image Red Studios. communications were excellent and nicole arrive on time and ready to rock. She worked extremely hard to achieve the images and all of the photographers had nothing but praise for her. She is a wonderfull model and very knowledgable She will be booked again

Karen Mughal

I've had three shoots with Nicole in the space of just over a year and it's incredible just how much she's grown in talent and ability. She was already a great model when I first worked with her, but now she's really come into her own and is certainly one of my favourites to work with.

On our recent shoot I worked with Nicole at her home on what was unfortunately quite an overcast day, but we still managed to get beautiful, gorgeously lit boudoir images that were exactly what I was looking for. Nicole was also able to recommend nearby locations for outdoor fashion, and again I came away incredibly pleased with the results.

Nicole is incredibly easy to work with, has excellent ideas and simply a wonderful model. We'll certainly be working together again and I'd recommend her to any photographer worth their salt.

I had the pleasure to attend a 121 tutorial led by Jon at Nicole Rayners picture palace in York. Both Jon and Nicole are absolutely wonderful people and the time just flew by.

Jon gave me some great tips to improve my photography and also a mystery free gift ( i wont spoil the surprise for others) Nicole is such a wonderful model and has a great sense of humour which put me very much at ease, they are both so easy to get on with, and Nicole also supplied never-ending coffee in between modelling ( thank you Nicole)

I can highly recommend Both Jon and Nicole and hope to work with them again.

Thank you Jon and Nicole for a great and fun packed day

For a long time, I’ve been trying to find a day when both Nicole and I were both free. Well, today I finally managed it and I had a shoot at her flat.

Nicole has a very full diary for three good reasons: she is a remarkably beautiful model, she is a professional model, and she is a delightful person. What more could a photographer want?

We met at Nicole’s flat which is very tidy and uncluttered, a great place for photography. I normally use flash with an umbrella, but Nicole suggested I try available-light photography … which I did. Nicole is a photographer herself and provides lots of useful advice.

You don’t have to work long with Nicole to appreciate the difference between professional and amateur. Nicole is a truly professional model in the sense that she knows what is required and effortlessly glides from one pose into another. Her range of poses is quite awesome and she also has an expressive face with a wider range of expressions that many models. Even better, Nicole avoids typical clichéd shots and is full of originality.

Nicole is exceptionally beautiful with the loveliest of faces and a wonderful figure.

From a personal point of view, Nicole was very easy to work with. She’s warm, friendly and intelligent (two university degrees), so you never run out of things to talk about.

I have no hesitation in recommending Nicole and would stress that she is suitable for beginners to the most advanced of photographers (that goes with her professionalism). I would dearly love to work with her again.

X FACTOR

Nicole is a photographer’s dream. Lovely pale skin and beautiful eyes . Great poses and expressions . Extensive wardrobe . Friendly personality that puts photographer at ease but very professional . If that was not enough she brings the X factor that makes your images special.

Can’t recommend highly enough.

Did that just happen?

It appears I spent 5 1/2 hours in the most delightful company, but it was over in a flash. Not literally, that would be weird.

It's pointless reiterating how accomplished, professional, friendly etc Nicole is, but I want to anyway!

Nicole poses effortlessly, puts up with photographers "faffing" about with great patience, & really knows her stuff, from posing through to use of light & even instructing fat fingered editors how to improve their work.

Her bubbly, fun nature made the whole experience an EXPERIENCE, rather than just a shoot. I want to do it all again, but until I can, I'd suggest anyone on here should treat themselves to a shoot with Nicole. A treat it really was. Thank you. :)

Another shoot with Nicole and another chance to get some creativity on camera with her (she'll literally bend over backwards for a shot). It's always great to work with Nicole as we go back and forth trying to get the best shots we can. I always learn something new with Nicole (I'm thankfully for her pointers etc to help get the shot). Today's shoot was both funny, creative and a joy as I had both Nicole and Pippa Doll on set.

Looking forward, Nicole will be featured in volume 7 of the GS books and I'm looking forward to working with her during this time to produce a volume both Nicole and GS can be proud of.
