References for Rachelle Summers

Rachelle was my first ever model shoot and we've worked together a few times since but never 1-2-1, the calendar gods conspiring against us. So when we finally had the chance to get together at mine we just went for it. Then came Storm Caira wiping out nearly any chance of the planned location work.

Rachelle's skill not just as a posing machine but understanding of lighting came to the fore as I pressed a new set of lights into service, giving a gorgeous range of low key shots featuring nude, lingerie and dresses. Feeling brave we ventured down the back yard for a quick set in the burial cairn, giving Rachelle a chance to hang and climb. Back to the house and her shower to remove the mud turned into a fun filled, steam filled set.

Hopefully that's a taste of what you get from Rachelle packed into a few short hours, not even mentioning the perfect communication, wardrobe, makeup and wicked sense of humour.So don't wait as long as we did book her while she's available in the UK, definitely recommended.

Had yet another fab shoot with Rachelle, she is just the best model. I counted myself lucky to be able to get the chance to work with her as she is just so popular, so when I saw that she was going to be back up in Scotland I just made it possible (took a day off work) so that I could work with her.

She was more than happy to pop along to my home studio space where we have shot before and worked on a few sets of my thoughts.

we chatted away like auld friends and a good laugh and cups of tea all the while getting lots of great images.

You can never go wrong with a shoot with Rachelle she makes sure you get the images you are wanting and doesn't stop until you get them.

Thank you so much, Rachelle, for working with me again!!

I had the pleasure of Rachell's creative presence over a whole day of foul sleety weather, which even I was loathe to venture out in. So the whole day was spent in my cramped studio, trying to force the lighting to imitate the great outdoors. In all that time, she was constantly active and full of enthusiasm, new ideas and emotive input. It got to one point where I was sure she was reading my mind, at which point I failed to give enough idea of what I was looking for; in her concern to get the right images for the story line and concepts, she immediately began asking all the right questions to get back on track. She is an absolute artistic professional, enormously good company, as was her man, Mark. A lovely couple of days passed with their easy-going approach and intelligent company. I have worked with Rachelle a few times now, and she simply gets better and better. I would always recommend her to anyone, and I certainly hope to work again with her soon. Add to that, she and Mark make ideal guests; they even thought my cooking was fine.

I have booked onto a Summers Abroad holiday this year and so wanted to do a meet and work with Rachelle before then.

The opportunity arose during her recent tour in Birmingham and I'm so glad I did it.

Rachelle is a consummate professional, a great model who was happy help and advise me on matters such as lighting and the best poses for venue of the shoot (an apartment).

Both Rachelle and her husband were warm, welcoming, good fun and very helpful and this ensure that I came away with some great images.

This shoot was supposed to be mainly so I could get to know Rachelle before the holiday (and vice versa), but I enjoyed it so much I have booked onto another two shoots before we go away.

I would most certainly recommend working with this lovely lady.

Thanks Rachelle - see you soon x

What is there left to say about Rachelle?

Totally professional, totally focussed (more than I managed :)), totally organised.

If you want to get great photos, then you need to shoot with Rachelle. Everything just becomes so much easier when you work with a model of Rachelle's calibre.

And fun. It is always fun.

As always I had a great shoot with Rachelle, even though we were both getting over nasty colds at the time. She's very good technically - great poses, flawless makeup, great wardrobe. Also very chilled and easy-going off camera and it made for a very relaxed shoot even though we had a lot to get through it didn't feel like work. Always a pleasure, you should book her!

Gary Stuart

Had a wonderful shoot with Rachelle in an lovely high quality apartment.

Pre coms where excellent so we both we had an a good understanding of ideas for the shoot.

I first worked with Rachelle at Nicole's guys clife event so couldn't wait to work on a one to one. And what a great desision that was.

Rachelle is very friendly, professional and we just had a good old natter all through the shoot.

Everything already said about Rachelle is true.she is an awesome model.ideas where just bouncing between us and the 4 Hours just flew by.- always a good indicator of how good the shoot is.

Loved every minute of this shoot and cannot wait to work with Rachelle again.

John Chapman

I've worked with Rachelle a few times in the last couple of years, every shoot is a fun event, relaxed and we spend as much time chatting as we do shooting, but I always come away with a card full of great shots. The problem I then have is choosing which to edit.

One look at the number of good references and great shots Rachelle has on PP will tell you all you need to know about how good she really is in front of a camera. I would recommend her very highly to anyone, but book early, she's a very busy lady.

The Mad Hatter

The umpteenth time I have shot with Rachelle and I really hope it won’t be the last. Where do I start? Quality communications, immaculate preparation, great styling, fabulous posing, a great contributor to your day and a terrific personality. Rachelle is surely among the very top models on this site and one not to miss on her trips to my area. Thank you Rachelle for a great morning and some fabulous images. Thoroughly recommended and I hope to see you again soon. 😊

This was my first shoot with Rachelle who is an amazing experienced awesome model and a genuinely beautiful warm person. Having so many references there is little more to add other than to say the shoot was an amazing experience and I look forward to more.

I had communicated with Rachelle prior to the arrangements for this shoot and when coming to arranging the shoot all was made so easy by her professional approach and ease of communication.

The shoot was at a modern apartment in Birmingham that had plenty of natural light in its rooms and when natural light was too low later in the afternoon we used studio lights that Rachelle had supplied.

In the four hour shoot I had we managed several sets including lingerie and artistic nude and created amazing images, we chatted throughout and the time passed so quickly.

Rachelle is very professional model who obviously needs no direction, fun to work with and a truly great person to shoot with who I highly recommend.

I look forward to more shoots and also Rachelles's tours abroad are of great interest.

Rachelle and I have shot together many time both in this country and abroad and so when she told me she was coming to Brum and using a lovely apartment,I signed up for four hours.

The joy of shooting with a hyper-skilled and lovely model such as Rachelle, is that she will make something of even the most crappy ideas.....of which I am a leading exponent.

I am into very contrasty window light at the moment and it is fleeting.

Rachelle flowed into the very moods and feelings I was hoping for in moments and of course, before we lost that particular light.

She also panders to my silly ideas...a coat rack and umbrella and minimal light.

The pleasure of shooting with Rachelle is why I still come to shoots with undimmed enthusiasm and how she stimulates ideas when I think I probably have none.

Many thanks Rachelle...I am looking forward to the next two shoots which we have already planned.

I should of course add that Rachelle is totally organised , a lovely person and a brilliant model.

If you haven't shot with her, then arrange it now.

Me bad: it takes a lockdown to get around to writing my reference for the Princess of Purpleport. We have so far managed four front page images from the shoot and there’s many more shots to upload. As luck would have it the ever busy princess was available for a shoot in a castle. She arrived with all the enthusiasm, wit and verve I could have hoped for and throughout the shoot she couldn’t have been more willing, despite the very cold conditions inside. Armed with a hot water bottle during regular breaks she never let the cold stop her from working through each set as if her life depended on the quality of the outcome.

I had really wanted the very best model I could find for telling the kind of stories I had in mind. Despite being more often than not asked to do art nude and glamour by others, Rachelle perfectly inhabited my more narrative ideas. She has an extraordinary depth and range of expression to call on alongside her years of posing in just about any situation anyone has ever thought up. Even still, I was staggered that with every shape she pulled and with every move she made, another part of the story I wanted to tell was conjured up before my appreciative eyes. Her levels of concentration never flagged and her beauty just kept on filling my lens. She was gracious, charming, and delightful to be with Throughout the entire four hours.

Another bonus of working with her on this occasion was that she was accompanied by her husband Mark. Not only was he able to help with some of the apparatus of the shoot - swords, a medieval helmet and coif - but he also supported Rachelle in overcoming the cold conditions and feel at ease in what to anyone else would have been alien surroundings. For most of the shoot he was happy working at his laptop in our backstage rooms but he was there for us when we needed him on set. Not that Rachelle couldn’t have worked without Mark’s support - she is an incredible dedicated, unflappable and richly gifted model - it’s just that he was willing to be part of a team that was bent on extracting as much as possible from this fabulously opportune location.

I would not only work with Rachelle again but I find myself working my ideas and fantastical notions in her direction. She has all the attributes I require: the ability to act; an incredibly expressive and beautiful face; an aura of mystery and exoticism; complete dedication and love of her craft; an outrageous sense of fun; silky movement and deft posing. What more could a poor boy want, save to play in a rock n’ roll band. Well with Rachelle you feel decidedly rich and that you’re playing in the best band in the world.

As a first shoot for 2020, there wasn't a better way to start than with Rachelle. Now it's going to be rare, at least for this year, that she will be down this end of the country for a while it was a no brainer to book at shoot with her. It was a great shoot and we got through several different looks and styles. The location she had a lot of cool little areas to shoot as sets and we go creative how we used said location to maximum effect. We chatted, had lots of cups of tea and caught up on projects that involved Rachelle's input and put a lot of those projects into their final phases.

Looking forward to shooting with Rachelle and the Summers Abroad team again in April in Japan on their trip there. Highly recommended as always.

I managed to catch Rachelle on her last tour of Scotland, it turns out this is our 14th shoot together, and yet it never gets old or samey. I think as we shoot a lot we start to gel together even more and the rapport between us means we get exceptional images quickly and easily.

We always have a fun time and she always laughs at my outrageous modelling 'skills', such a good time working together that time flies by so quickly.

Highly recommended to everyone who has or has not had the Rachelle Summers experience. It's always a real pleasure.

I got to work with Rachelle on her recent London tour, we shot at a beautiful apartment she had booked, when I arrived her hair and make up were done to a very high standard she also had a great selection of clothing with her.

Rachelles very easy to work with she poses freely and is just as happy taking direction and gives it 100%, the shoot just flew by and I got some great shots, highly recommended and I look forward to our next shoot

I have worked with Rachelle multiple times and this shoot was in London. As always she was well prepared and we had a very relaxed shoot where I captured images spanning a variety of styles making best use of the space within the apartment. I would certainly recommend her to other photographers.
