What could I possibly say about this incredible woman that hasn't been said before?! 😍

Having been to Basford numerous times before, and after working as a trio with Georgia Brown, we spoke to Owen Lloyd about organising a shoot with diggers, angle grinders and a whole lot of sparks... What could possibly go wrong?!?! 😅🙈

Shooting with Nicole is an absolute blast!!!! She is SO knowledgeable and executes her craft perfectly!!! She pulls the most ridiculous poses and works incredibly hard!! Nicole also helped me out with a couple of poses and techniques which have been invaluable in my progress as a model.

Not only is Nicole an incredible model.... She is also pretty handy behind the lens!!! During our shoot with Owen we also worked together and the images she took in a short space of time were amazing!! Like with everything she does she pays so much attention to detail and really knows how to get the best from her model! !

Everyone needs Nicole in her portfolio and I feel incredibly privileged to also call her my friend!!! 🙏

Can't wait for the next one!!! 💥💥

I worked with Nicole in the West Highlands. Nicole is an exceptional fine art model as good as the best that I have worked with. Pre-shoot communication was good and the turn-around time on the contract was rapid enabling the necessary arrangements and investments to be put in place quickly. These are often overlooked aspects, but they are vital. Nicole interpreted the creative brief and the possibilities in the landscapes intuitively and very creatively. She is tough and dealt with the sometimes-arduous conditions very bravely. Nicole has the natural lithe figure for fine-art nude modelling and is very skilled at it. Adept and athletic at adopting poses she was very easy to work with. Clearly, I have several ‘Killer-shots’ in the contact sheet. She is also good at the ‘craic’ and ‘the banter’ which kept things engaging between shots and during travelling. There is no hesitation at all in recommending Nicole.

Fantastic first shoot with Nicole which I am sure will not be our last. Energetic, funny, professional, graceful, athletic, creative, intelligent, process savvy and an absolute delight to work with, Nicole is a "must" for any photographer to work with.

Would you recommend Nicole Rayner?

Highly!!!

An absolutely fantastic model, I meant Nicole at the studio working here for the first time, Nicole spent the afternoon working 1-2-1 with 2 photographers and then hosted a group shoot in the evening.

An absolute pleasure to work with, great attitude, good sense of humour, but always very professional! The photographers all achieved stunning images and work whilst Nicole posed seamlessly giving fresh ideas to the studios posing props.

Nicole is an absolute must for your portfolio if you haven't worked with her yet then its time to start organising that shoot!

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Nicole at a group shoot at PGD. I can't add anything else that no body has already said. Her presence within the studio was electric with all admiring the skills this lady has to make sure every image is what you wanted to achieve .

Her positive and can do attitude was all to clear to see and the images produced stunning in every way. Polite, professional, dedicated, energetic a true artist of all she does. This must be a model that you have to book without a doubt, can't recommend her highly enough.

Looking forward to a 1-2-1 with this lovely lady

I think the 652 references, now 653 with this one (At the time of writing) speak for themselves.

I was lucky enough to work with Nicole at Basford and what fun it was. There was so much to explore and that's exactly what we did. We spent the morning warming up with the mood board but it quickly went out the window - In a good way! Between us we were constantly coming up with ideas on the fly and finding a new and interesting spot for Nicole to perform some kind of acrobatics of pose that I couldn't even imagine. She isn't afraid of a bit of mud either as she willingly got herself wet or mucky of her own accord just because it made the shot even better.

Nicole is an incredible model and is as versatile as she is incredible. What you'll get working with Nicole - Great images, you won't stop laughing and a very big personality, all for the good of the shoot of course.

Can't recommend her enough

Until next time, Frog. Can't wait for the next one. (For those not in the know, frog was a joke from our shoot - just shows how much fun you'll have)

P.S Sorry about such a late reference!

Nicole said I had to go and shoot with her at her place.

We hadn't shot for some time....and let's do some odd stuff as before

So we did. I enjoyed it enormously.

Nicole is so creative and fun to shoot with.

It is going to take ages to edit the pics but it will be great fun

I can recommend Nicole to all photographers without hesitation

Thanks Nicole for a great day.

Nicole was so much fun to work with. Bubbly, funny, and very good at what she does. Highly recommend.

Had a terrific shoot with Nicole yesterday, our first one together, but hopefully not our last.

Pre-shoot communications were great, we managed to get all the arrangements sorted quickly so we could look forward to creating some images. The shoot itself was fantastic, Nicole is friendly and easy to get on with, so right from the get go I felt like I'd known her for years. She's also very professional and works hard to get the most out of the time spent shooting.

Would definitely recommend working with Nicole, and I hope to get to work with her again some point this year too.

In the last 2 weeks I have had two photo shoots with Nicole one at her place Rose Cottage and one at Basford Hurst Cottage which we where the first to do a photoshoot there so feel privileged that I could get to work with Nicole at this new photo shoot space.

I can't recommend Nicole highly enough she is SIMPLY THE BEST hard working model, and friend and I can't wait until we work again soon.

Nicole and I had been talking for a long time before she came to Basford, and, to finally meet her was an absolute joy!!!

Nicole is friendly, enthusiastic, super knowledgeable and an incredible model!! This girl has so many poses up her sleeve and endless energy!!! I don't know how she does it!!

Nicole will be an in house model at Basford and I could not be happier about that!!! She even brought us a welcoming gift!!

I would highly recommend Nicole and she is welcome back here anytime!

Not sure I can add much to the many amazing references that Nicole already has. The consumate professional in every way from start to finish. Great comms, lovely person, amazing modelling skills and fantastic energy levels add up to the perfect ingredients for a brilliant shoot. I kick myself that it took me so long to organise a shoot with Nicole but so so glad that I did and I love the images that we managed to create together. Thanks Nicole :-)

Had a small photoshoot with Nicole at Lightlove Studio (the new name for Vines Art House) managed to get some images that I can use but sadly Nicole wasn't very well so we decided rather than carry on and get below par images that would not be up to our usual standards that we would cut short the shoot and re-book the studio in 2023. Nicole is still one of my fave models to work with, so Team-NiNe will be back in 2023 at Lightlove Studio. Highly recommended by me just for turning up while not feeling well a trooper.

Another fantastic shoot with the incredible Nicole rayner this time I had the great pleasure in taking her to the boardroom for her first shoot there.

Nicole was her usual awesome self with ideas free flowing.

We actually spent half the shoot with Nicole wearing two different outfits

- a beautiful wedding dress and a wonderfull green dress Nicole of course rocked both making full use of the windows,staircase,and fireplace.

Normal service was soon restored though with Nicole using the windows and climbing onto the fireplace to do some art nude.

I don't need to say how good good Nicole is just look at her previous reviews

Nicole is one of my favourite people to work with and I always look forward to our shoots and a good old catch up.

Nicole was as brilliant as ever

Thank you so much Nicole

Until the next time.

Gary.

This was my second shoot with Nicole, and my first outdoors on location. Our first shoot, a year earlier, had been a studio dynamic art nude shoot, and it resulted in so many wonderful images that I had a really difficult job selecting the best ones to edit and process.

Nicole’s pre-shoot communications were excellent, and she was fully prepared and as keen to get going as I was, despite the ungodly hour that I picked her up from her home.

It is a mark of how professional and accomplished Nicole is, that despite dreadful weather for most of our day with very flat washed out skies, and frequent downpours, that we still managed to produce some quality work.This was due in the main to Nicole’s wonderful ability to spot opportunities out of nothing, and to then produce creative and imaginative poses very fast indeed.

Not only was it a very successful day despite the weather, but as ever Nicole was very good company, and remarkably easy to work with.

I have long admired Nicole’s fine art nude work, and very much wish that I had made it a much higher priority to work with her outdoors much earlier.

I very highly recommend working with Nicole to other photographers, and will most certainly do so myself again in the near future.

Another great shoot with Nicole. Enthusiastic, friendly, very hard working.

I really enjoy our shoots. It's a delight to work with her, and I can honestly recommend her very highly indeed.

I was looking forward to this shoot after observing Nicole putting everything into an underwater shoot last year.

she is an utterly delightful person and has a wonderfully sweet soul.

she works so hard to achieve the image, and is enthusiastic and dedicated.

it was lovely to work with, and I can recommend her very highly indeed.

Thank you Nicole !!

A wonderful person and a fantastic model. Easy going, friendly, a nice host and the shoot just flew-by. She knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered above and beyond. If you're looking for a model to work with, then they don't come better. The epitome of a beautiful, friendly and knowledgeable model... what more could you ask for?

Nicole is back and so is Team NiNe had a brilliant shoot at Nicole’s home studio set up and we got through quite few ideas, even though she has been away for a bit she is still a force of nature and dose not disappoint with the poses or her bubbly personality and enthusiasm for creating art.

Thank you Nicole for being you and being a friend. Highly recommended by me without a shadow of doubt.Here’s to our next shoot.

Had an amazing first shoot with Nicole at her home studio. A fantastic model and a lovely, fun person to be around. We have already discussed possible future shoot options and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
