Another shoot with Nicole recently during her time with Rachelle Summers and the Summers Abroad trip to Las Vegas. Always fearless be it climbing rocks, cars or anything that a model can safely climb to get a shot. Though I wasn't 100% during this trip due to getting ill before flying out, it's always great to have a model that still wants to help you get a great image (even when I suggested a Panda head for one set).

We captured some epic shots around various locations during the two groups she was part of as a model, but on downtime she was also helping some of the other photographers with some tips and feedback to help them create awesome images. She never puts a photographer down with her comments about their work, it's always to help them become even better photographers.

Always a pleasure to shoot with Nicole and a model that should be in every photographer's portfolio.

I have just had my much anticipated second shoot with Nicole at her place and around York.

We went from quite sober street shots to quite literally bananas in her apartment.

Nicole is crazy and creative and fun to shoot with and this is exactly what I like in my model photography.

We have some lovely shots and some strange extreme shots and they are going to take ages to edit, but it is something I am looking forward to.

Nicole is totally professional and also relaxed and ready to pile in with ideas.

I totally recommend her to other photographers and I am looking to use her wonderful crazy abilities again, soon!

I had the great pleasure to get visited for the second time by the ever awesome and beautiful Nicole Rayner in my hometown in southern Sweden.

This was the fourth time that we worked together, we’ve done it twice in the U.K. and twice in Sweden now.

After Nicole arrived, we had some food, chatted for a while and we went to her hotel and after that we went out for a few hours looking for locations and shot around my hometown, and got quite a variety of shots, among others some with the warm nice evening light (and some guerrilla style nudes in the town center).

The second day we went to a nature reserve close to my hometown which I’ve used quite a lot and which Nicole and I shot at last year as well. While there we shot on a few different locations, hid from a thunderstorm and shot for most of the afternoon all in a laid-back way. Nicole is so funny and great to hang out with as much as a super pro while shooting.

What I have to mention is that we were accompanied most of the time by the lovely Ayla Rose, someone which Nicole works perfectly in symbiosis with, though she went back home one day earlier than Nicole. But through the time I got many duo shots with Nicole and Ayla as well as solo shots and I had such a fun time together with them. Nicole and I had then another full day of shooting on our own as well and we grabbed many more shots on location.

And since this is my fourth reference, I don’t really know what else to write that I haven’t already written before, Nicole’s just simply amazing. I have probably written it before, but since she is a great photographer herself, she knows what works and not, has a lot of ideas and advice to give and I really find that helpful.

So for my next trip to the U.K., which probably will be in May 2020, I hope I can manage to get to shoot with Nicole again, and for any other photographer out there, I recommend to take the chance to work with her since she’s just simply amazing.

Wow, a great model, beautiful and talented. She is also a photographer and gave me an inspiring tutorial on light, shade and composition. An artist in her own right she made the shoot come alive and enabled me to capture shots well above my level of competence.

I will be shooting her again when she comes back to Brussels in April 2020 - unless she is booked out already.

Highly recommended to any photographer who aspires to greatness.

Nicole brought her A-game to a shoot where I managed to arrange a duo shoot with herself & Elle Beth.

Considering this was the first time they had shot together, they got on well together and we got some fantastic images.

Nicole is such a pleasure to work with, not just a fantastic model but a fantastic person as well :-)

Always coming up with ideas, and trying to get a better shot, truly a collaborative experience that you won't forget.

Nicole is one of the models I have worked with more than once, as creatively she ticks all my boxes, not forgetting of course her beauty in front of the camera.

I can recommend Nicole very highly.

Had the great pleasure of photographing Nicole at an event she organised at Guys Cliffe. Everything was just perfect... she is a very professional lady and nothing was too much trouble for her to model. Along with Rachelle Summers we managed to get some great images and I am looking forward to our trip to France in September. Highly recommended!

Wow... just WOW!!

Having wanted to work with Nicole for a while now and a failed attempt back in July, I finally had the pleasure of working with her today.

The pre communications were great and although Nicole is always crazily busy, she always found time to respond.

Our shoot today was amazing. I collected Nicole from the station and she said hello like a long lost friend. We immediately clicked and the conversation flowed from start to finish. We shot at 3 different locations, all with very different styles, laughed, joked, chatted and put the world to rights throughout.

Nicole is an incredibly versatile model who changes effortlessly from one to another. The back of cams looked great and I cannot wait to get working on them.

I loved every minute of our day and cannot wait to organise our next shoot soon.

Thanks Nicole.

Had the pleasure of working with Nicole again recently on Rachelle Summers Stepford Wives event at The Hacienda.

Nicole is great fun to work with and she threw herself into the theme recreating some great image inspired by Miles Aldridge.I worked with her on a 1 to 1 basis and as well as part of a duo and trio.She worked wonderfully with the other models Rachelle Summers and Scarlett Fox ,and worked hard to create some awesome images on the day.

Nicole is totally professional, friendly and a real star.Love working with her.

Highly Recommended.

I attended a 70’s Stepford Wives themed event featuring Nicole and two other models (organised by Rachelle Summers) at the Hacienda studios. Nicole was absolutely perfect for this as she was full of enthusiasm and creative ideas. And her poses were every bit as surreal as I had hoped for this theme.

I brought a few props along which Nicole really got the most out of. She certainly made my job incredibly easy with barely any direction needed.

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nicole - really hope to work with her again sometime soon.

The shoot was the themed Stepford wives event organised by Rachelle Summers, and I have to say Nicole was great! Energetic, enthusiastic and creative. A top pro!! Would love to work with you again! Highly recommended!

Had another fun shoot with Nicole, my 3rd.

This time as part of The Stepford Wives event at the Hacienda with Rachelle Summers and Scarlett Fox.

As always Nicole was bubbly, bright, enthusiastic and a delight to shoot with. I just love shooting with this wonderful lady.

Highly recommended!

I really am running out of things to write about how good Nicole is. This time she was part of the line up of models on Rachelle Summers' Stepford Wives themed event at The Hacienda. She was pull off poses that even had people on the internet asking if that image was photoshopped because they couldn't believe she could do that without wires or the such.

Nicole as ever will give you great poses, but then add more to it like balancing a radio on her foot while in a difficult pose, wear a dish tab pack on her head to make it even more quirky for the image and more. I'm sure when photographers post their images from the themed event you see what I've been talking about.

Nicole was one part of the posse on Rachelle Summers' Stepford Wives shoot. She got right into delivering the theme to a tee - even correcting me when I suggested she was reading the magazine upside down - doh! She was fun and dropped some incredibly whacky poses in keeping with the theme. I went away very, very happy having picked up some great shots.

P.S. Please forgive me for warping you with my fisheye!

I have worked with Nicole multiple times now and on this occasion it was during Rachelle Summers Stepford Wives event at the Hacienda. Nicole is (as her portfolio shows) an outstanding model and genuinely an absolute pleasure to work with. Her passion for her art shines through in each of the images we took. Nicole's work ethic, creativity and sense of humor always makes for a productive and fun photo-shoot. Can't wait to work with Nicole again in the future - Highly recommended!

Andrew Smith

I attended a studio event organised by Rachelle Summers. Nicole was one of the models. Right from the start she was friendly and full of energy, even though this was the afternoon of the second day at this shoot. She had loads of ideas, and worked with mine. Always positive and ready to go. It was brilliant, thanks for a great shoot.

Derrick Thompson

My first time working with Nicole, at Rachelle Summers' Miles Aldridge inspired 'Stepford Wives' concept shoot at The Hacienda with Rachelle and Scarlett Fox. All three girls were well into the concept having great fun with the 'broken robot' poses and expressions. It was a fabulous session, with nothing too much trouble or too outrageous for Nicole to try, I really hope I get the chance to work with her again, very highly recommended,

Stunning, versatile and great fun to work with. Nothing was too much trouble or too outrageous at Rachelle Summers 'Stepford Wives' organised shoot at Hacienda, London.

Scarlett Fox

I had the lovely pleasure of working alongside Nicole for Rachelle Summer’s Stepford Wives event at The Hacienda in London for four days :)

Having already worked with Nicole I knew it would be a fun weekend as she’s simply mad anyway so this event was pretty much made for her to do her weird and wonderful poses and expressive looks! Nicole looked stunning in every set she has such a great sense of styling which was definitely put to the test for a full four days of fashion where there were basically no rules haha

Nicole is so easy to work with, I could always hear her making the photographers laugh or coming up with new and unique things to shoot each day, she’s so lovely and fun, and really keeps the atmosphere up regardless of them being long days!

So looking forward t joining her and Rachelle again next year but this time for a Summers Abroad trip to Spain, its gonna be epic!

Thanks again for a great weekend, and for all your help and advice throughout. :)

Nicole was one of a trio of models at Rachelle's Stepford wives Hacienda event.

Full of enthusiasm for the shoot theme, vibrant (in colour and personality), encouraging and a great model to work with. No need to direct - just let her do her thing, and she delivers.

I think this was my third shoot with Nicole in as many months, all completely different locations and scenarios. Nicole delivered quality time and time again.

As ever highly recommended, and looking forward to our next shoot opportunity.

Nicole is a really charismatic, friendly and polite person along with true professional through and through. A delightful personality, really easy to get along with and work with. I booked her for my fantasy shoot with a designer and she really proved to me that her skills in modeling were superb. Effortlessly posing, loads of great ideas and she seemed to be on the same wave length as me artistically so I really felt so much passion emitting off of her for this shoot. Our shots that we managed to get were fantastic, the results coming out so far I would not of been able to get from a model not as experienced as herself. I would not hesitate to work with Nicole again based on my pleasant and very wonderful experience. Plus, may i just say that Nicole is worth waiting to hear back from so do give her patience and she will not let you down!
