References for Nicole Rayner

Shaun Solent

Nicole is one determined young lady - one cannot help liking her. She contacted me for the first time 9 months ago and then traveled for many hours on the train all the way from York to Fareham, arriving at midnight and having to sleep in my studio for 2 nights.

Nicole is also beautiful in body and in personality - our day together was a real joy. She wanted to try everything and worked the underwater part of our shoot until she was totally exhausted. The images speak for themselves.

I commend her unreservedly.

Second shoot with Nicole this time with Sophia Blake. They worked really well together and we bounced ideas off each other all afternoon and we had a very productive time together. A great poser, highly professional and a tireless worker I'd be happy to shoot with Nicole again.

I had my second shoot with Nicole this weekend with her paired with another model. The time booked was only one hour but because of Nicole's professionalism and hard work we created a lot of images in that time. I am very happy with them all, we created everything I had in mind before the shoot.

As well as being very professional Nicole has a very pleasant personality and is very easy to work with.

Very highly recommended.

Had my first Studio shoot with Nicole and I am sure that is not going to be the last one.

Waited several months to shoot with her ..... and it has been worth it.

It is difficult to write a Reference ..... as I will be short of making her justice, and to match all the previous wonderful references.

She made me feel Welcome and Relax straight away.

Her personality is awesome and she is a very attractive model.

I wish .... I had book her for longer, which is always a good sign.

From me ...... Highly Recommended :)

This will certainly be one of the hardest references to write, as Nicole is just amazing, fabulous model, wonderful person, very hardworking and full of energy. Add to that creative and supportive in trying to maximise what was a fantastic all day shoot.

Great communications right from the start of the planning stage, in fact we had quite a long chat over the phone beforehand so I already knew we would get along and it was going to be a great shoot.

She was so full of enthusiasm and an absolute joy to work with, even offering sound advice and suggestions on what changes to a scene, model placement and layout might improve a shot. This is someone who despite her youth knows her stuff, is very smart and will leave you eager to work with her again. I know I will be, already planning my next shoot with her.

If you haven't worked with or planned to then you're just letting one of the best pass you by, This is one model you can't fail to love working with and would absolutely get some wonderful imagery,

Thanks again Nicole for a great days shooting, looking forward to the next one

Obviously it goes without saying I can't recommend her highly enough

PS - one caveat, she will lose your balloons :) x

A fellow photographer (Steve Brand) and myself had been thinking about a particular style of shoot for some time. We had worked with Scarlot Rose, and from her came a recommendation to look at the profile of Nicole Rayner - both of us were very impressed with the work on her portfolio, and so we contacted her. All I can say is that we were thrilled that we did.

Nicole’s pre-shoot communications are impressive. We made some suggestions as to what we wanted to achieve, and she was able to guide us, to make subtle changes that would improve both composition and artistic integrity.

One of the benefits of working with Nicole, is that she is both model, and photographer - so in seeing the job from both sides of the camera - she is in the perfect position to both create, and advise.

We were fortunate to get our dates synchronised quite quickly, and as Steve was already with me (to do a commercial shoot), all we had to do was get Nicole with us - she agreed to an overnight stay with us, so we could get an early start.

Nicole has a wonderful and fresh sense of humour - not only is she a truly beautiful girl, but she is quick, clever and intuitive. Incredibly easy to shoot, and full of fun and vigour. None of which stops her from being totally professional.

The clothing she brought with her was ideal for the locations - and although we were frustrated by the inability to use the first place we went to, we were able to find others fairly easily and because the weather was being kind - it didn’t spoil anything we wanted to do.

If I had to opt for a marking system for Nicole, out of 20, I would be giving her 50 ! She is the epitome of the perfect model - great personality, great talent, great communications. Her fees are commensurate to her ability, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in working with her again.

In fact, I think plans are afoot to do something fresh with her in the Spring of next year.

To any photographer who wonders if Nicole is the right person for the job - I can say now, that she is…… Book her soon……….

Thank you Nicole for all your help and assistance on the day.

To summarise: Nicole is without question one of the very best models any photographer on PP will ever have the privilege to work with. She also happens to be very beautiful, a truly wonderful person and an absolute joy to spend any time with. The only problem in writing a reference is running out of superlatives!

For this our second shoot we worked over two days as her travel time was over four hours each way. Being the complete professional, she arrived on time and full of enthusiasm and positive energy. As planned we first worked with the horses, Nicole being totally fearless in riding nude and bareback on a very large showjump horse, and getting in the paddocks with two other sport horses (17 and 16.3 hands). Her ability to pose elegantly under these circumstances and her range of expressions are truly exceptional.

Through the rest of the shoot we worked on a wide variety of themes, from boudoir to classic car, confirming Nicole's versatility and creativity, as well as her endless energy, enthusiasm and capacity for hard work. Whatever the context, whatever the prop, Nicole instantly produces the most amazing poses, stretching, bending and leaping, apparently without effort and always with elegance and always beautiful. As I said in my previous reference her beauty and fabulous figure obviously conceal a huge amount of strength. Her beautiful face is also very expressive, subtle changes in her lips or a flash of her eyes changing the mood from image to image, bringing great variety to each theme.

I also love working with Nicole because she is a natural collaborator who is very knowledgeable about photography, and totally committed to producing great images, offering superb ideas and suggestions at just the right moments. And finally, she is without question one of the nicest and most genuine people you could ever wish to meet. Interesting to talk to, full of surprises, she is one brave and exceptional woman. Needless to say I recommend Nicole 100% and absolutely without reservation - she is a very special person and an outstanding, beautiful model.

Nicole is an absoluty amazing model ,stunningly beautiful but is also so much fun to be around .

Her proffessional approach to a photo shoot is without question 100 percent commitment.

I had booked Nicole then booked Mischkah to duo with her in a fantastic location.

The shoot went very well with the fabulous help and direction from Nicole who also understands the other side of the camera . Giving me direction on angles and lighting to create stunning images.

( it's also a added bonus that such a talented model/photographer understands post processing and can offer guidance and help for me to produce the ultimate image )

Without question I would highly recommend a photoshoot with Nicole the young lady is one awesome model.

Thank You in helping to create some of my finest images to date .

Had an amazing shoot with Nicole at the end of last year while she was on tour near me. She turned up with loads of clothes in a suitcase which made choosing some outfits really easy. Her communication was great and she did a superb job working for video which can be difficult for some models. She couldn't have come across better in the video and looked amazing! She battled the elements and worked effortlessly to help me create our vision. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone :)

Do I forgot to recommend her? She is amazing, if you not book her, well, it will be your bad.

Had 4 hours on Sunday shooting Nicole in natural lighting conditions in a wonderful old mill which had plenty of character backdrops, props and atmosphere. She is absolutely brilliant at understanding what the photographer wants as she also takes photographs.

Balancing on things, swinging upside down, always coming up with her own poses and when requested, whatever the photographer asks for. Quick to work with and very adaptable she is happy to discuss your ideas, props, clothing and lighting suggestions.

Thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying shoot with a beautiful model. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful shoot with Nicole today.

Had a slot on her studio day.

Fantastic personality, easy going, extremely fun to shoot with, bags of confidence, great posing abilities, lovely figure, attractive features, I could go on, and on, but enough to say that Nicole is a lovely person to work with.

Can not wait to start editing the image from todays shoot.

Can without hesitation recommended her to any level of photographer.

RLC Photographer

Shooting with Nicole was a great experience,4 hours went nowhere but we got a series of good images. She's clearly passionate about what she does and it was very interesting working with a model who is also used to being behind the camera. The range of poses she can pull out is pretty impressive and she's very modest about how supple and gymnastic she is. It also helps that she has a stunning figure! Her communication beforehand was good and she was friendly engaging and came up with some great ideas. I'd definitely work with her again.

Garry Newton

Great shoot with Nicole, she is up for anything, understands what will work and happy to pose freely on location, superb loved the shoot, just got to get on with the editing!

Nicole contacted me with regards planning to work together whilst she visited the South West of England in September. Historically, I’d been impressed with the quality of her portfolio even though she is a relatively new model. Pre-shoot communications were good and we managed to arrange our shoot, despite me only having a very small window of opportunity due to work commitments. Shooting artistic nude is something that I am relatively new to and Nicole is clearly experienced in this genre. Nicole suggested that she would also like to try out something more fashion orientated so this became our main focus. Nicole and I travelled to a local beach and I found her to be excellent company, not taking herself too seriously and a lot of fun. It is very clear that Nicole is very passionate and professional about her modelling, capitalising on every shoot opportunity. I was impressed that Nicole was well prepared, her makeup done to a good standard, and with a sensible number of outfits given the time constraints. The weather conditions and light levels were not entirely in our favour but Nicole worked hard in difficult conditions and did not let the cold windy weather deter her.

Would I recommend Nicole? Yes, without any doubt. She is a lovely lady, a fabulous hard working model who is good to be around, and is very much focussed on getting the best images possible. It is good to see her going from strength to strength and I’m sure she will do very well in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole recently when she was down in Plymouth I found her to be a really nice person to work with very energetic and imaginative in her work

I would recommend that to anybody that is looking for hard-working easy to work with model

The only downside as far as I am concerned is the fact that she lives in York and I will have to wait for her next visit to Plymouth

when I will be very happy to book to her again so if you get the opportunity off working with Nicole I would recommend that you take it and you will not be disappointed

Highly recommended

It was a real pleasure to meet and model alongside Nicole at Pipewell Hall the other day. She is a lovely lady - very down to earth and easy to get on with, plus very honest, genuine and enthusiastic about working towards excellent imagery. She has beautiful skin and eyes, lots of talent and is a good person. I'd very happily model alongside her again and I look forward to seeing more of her work! :-)

I'd wanted to work with Nicole for a long time - a wish that came true on Friday. My expectations were pretty high, based on her impressive portfolio, profile and references, but she exceeded them in every way. She is a beautiful and inspirational model, and a wonderful, exceptional person.

I'd booked a studio at a location as convenient as possible for us both. Nicole arrived on time and immediately impressed with her energy and enthusiasm, even though the studio was a real disappointment. Her ability to see creative possibilities in limited and unpromising surroundings was truly impressive. She buzzes with ideas and contributes so much to every shot, striving to achieve the very best. Her fearlessly athletic posing abilities are truly sensational - her beautiful figure and natural elegance conceal amazing strength that enables her to do seemingly impossible things. And she does it all with style and effortless grace, making even the most extreme poses look easy.

Finally, it's impossible to spend a few hours with Nicole and not be impressed, captivated and inspired by her as an exceptional person. She is very friendly, warm and so easy to talk to and to work with. She is down to earth and has a great sense of humour, but is totally professional with a strong work ethic. Her beautiful face and hair, outstanding body and breathtaking posing ability would inspire any photographer to produce great work. It was a privilege to meet her and to work with her, and I sincerely hope we'll work together again soon. I recommend Nicole without reservation.
