References for Rachelle Summers

PhotoClassic

Oh blimey - it's time to leave Smurfette a reference again. What can I say that I haven't already said?

We have been working together several times a year for five years now and Rachelle has become one of my best friends as well as someone I always look forward to working with. She brings with her not only a highly professional approach in terms of preparation, communication and dedication but a bubbly character that makes shoots fun, whilst her incredible artistic intelligence goes into overdrive.

The kind of shoot we had planned, in deep snow and well below freezing, is normally well outside anyone's, even Rachelle's, comfort zone, so I was feeling very privileged that she had said she would go for it. I think it was the promise of Chicken & Leak soup on hand and a warm hotel instead of a tent that swung it ;-)

Despite the location being determined to scupper things, with rain for most of the weekend and the other problem particular to Glen Coe; hundreds of landscape photographers swarming about, we did manage to get some work done, even if it wasn't the snow shots we had hoped for. Throughout the long periods of searching and hoping (with the teasing sight of snow on Saturday night and a forecast for cold but clear on Sunday that came to nothing), Rachelle remained cheerful and up-beat throughout the weekend (except when she was sleeping in the car lol).

When the opportunity to get some shots in the bag arose, she got stuck in, even perching on a snow-dusted rock by a half-frozen river half way up Ben Lawers on the way home! (The only place we could find some snow).

Seriously folks, nobody can touch Rachelle's dedication to her art, professionalism and enthusiasm so if you haven't booked her you have missed out on something special. She has an amazing ability to know where and how she can interact with scenery, props and other models to best effect. You will not find a better model.

Thanks again Smurfette - Awesome as always :-)

Saracen House Studio

Had a fabulous couple of studio days with Rachelle Summers here at Saracen House Studio back in January, both totally sold out of course and naturally Rachelle is a complete professional in every aspect and I know every photographer that attended went away with awesome shots.

Always highly recommenced, welcome back any time of course.

Another great shoot with Rachelle, this time at my home studio, and what a superb model she is. Everything about her is totally professional. Great communications and organisation, wonderful awareness of the light and her body shape, full of ideas and really friendly and easy to work with.

We concentrated almost exclusively on mono art nude and semi-nude work and produced some fantastic images.

Very highly recommended to all serious photographers.

I've had one or two shoots recently with Rachelle (and at least two more planned. She continues to be one of my favourite models to work with. Not only is it her reliability and professionalism, but also her ability to deliver the shots intended with minimum fuss and maximum quality. Her presentation and preparation is second to none which makes life so easy when it comes to editing. She's just a little dynamo with a huge personality. Shoots with Rachelle are guaranteed to be fun with guaranteed results.

Rachelle, I can only reiterate what all others have said. She is an amazing model, totally professional, fun and without doubt someone I would recommend to others. Perfect figure for nude work with a body all women would die for! Highly recommended. Look forward to working with you again in May! :)

I had my third shoot today with Rachelle and they just get better each time. Rachelle is a picture of professionalism in all she does, communication, planning, preparation and her personal styling. We dis a range of styles including fashion, lingerie and sheer. We shot at the Saracen House studio using a superb gel set up as well ordinary lighting, and Rachelle has wonderful natural way to adapt to set and lighting.

I look forward to many more shoots with Rachelle as I know there are so many more things we can create for great images. I thoroughly recommend working with Rachelle to all levels of photographer and if you don't you will have missed out on working a wonderful model and lady. Rachelle will add quality to all profiles and guarantee to bring attention to all marketing and promotional material that you may wish to include her images on.

Simply thank you for a great shoot, your professionalism and your friendship.

Shot Rachelle recently at the natural light studio in Northampton.

She is a wonderful model and just a pleasure to shoot, has grace and poise, works with ideas however vague they may be. Rachelle is comfortable in such a range of styles you always get such great images

Already looking forward to the next opportunity when she gets her butt down to the east again :-)

Second shoot with Rachelle recently - what a lovely model to work with. Fantastically professional, focused on helping achieve the shots and amazingly patient with my early attempts at off camera flash! If you've not worked with Rachelle before, I suggest you book with her soon. I'll definite be working with her again when she's down my way!

Great group shoot with Rachelle what can be said that already has not? Polite, professional, easy going and knows how to pose. If you haven't shot with Rachelle my question would be why not? Get her booked you will not be disappointed.

The sort of model all photographers want: enthusiastic, flexible, a sparkling personality and imaginative, couple this with stunning looks and you have got Rachelle! Great to work with and makes it all seem so easy.

Highly recommended.

The fact that I've shot Rachelle so much is testament to her beauty, versatility, and enthusiasm as a model and as a person. Always a fun day with way too many pictures to process. Rachelle takes whatever is thrown at her (in this case, literally a bucket and mop), runs with it and makes it her own. Never a dull moment, never any issues and never any bad shots - I'd shoot Rachelle every week if I could. Impossible to fault.

Just back from a fantastic shoot with Rachelle. Absolutely brilliant. Loved every minute of it and got some great images.

Great pre-comms, posed flawlessly and took direction well, running with every idea I threw at her. Not enjoyed a shoot so much in a long time.

Highly recommended. Thanks Rachelle.

Rachelle is just such a pleasure to be around.

I've followed Rachelle's work for quite a while and friends had recommend her, she live up to her great reputation and more. Such a talented, creative and funny person.

Shot with Rachelle on a studio day at Millwood photography studio which is a great place for a dance shoot beautiful wooden floor and lots of space.

Rachelle's professional and contacted me both when I'd booked a slot and a though days before the shoot.

I took along a large piece of fabric and had no problem with coming with new ideas to add to mine, the shoot very much flowed smootherly.

Really happy with the images, look forward to shooting again with and highly recommend.

Had my second shoot with Rachelle today, and my first shoot in about 2 years. Rachelle was great. She understood what I wanted to achieve and put everything into helping me get the images I wanted, including showing a lot of patience when I came up with daft ideas. Rachelle's experience and photogenic looks shone through and I'm happy to say I got some lovely shots as a result.

Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful shoot with Rachelle today.

Fantastic personality, easy going, extremely fun to shoot with, bags of confidence, great posing abilities, lovely figure, attractive features.

Rachelle is a lovely person to work with.

Already planning my ideas for the next shoot with Rachelle.

Can without hesitation recommend Rachelle to any level of photographer.

I had the privilege of working with Rachelle again last weekend on a great shoot at Rainbow Studio in Manchester.

Working with Rachelle is always a fantastic experience; she’s a complete joy to work with, professional, friendly, enthusiastic and energetic, and laidback all at the same time which makes for a wonderfully relaxed and enjoyable time which inevitably slips by too quickly. Great images always result, though, and this was no exception!

I can’t recommend Rachelle highly enough, and am looking forward to our next shoot.

Thanks, Rachelle.

You don't do well over a 1000 paid shoots if you are average, you don't even do that many if you are good, you do that many if you are exceptional - this lady is. If you have shot with Rachelle you don't need telling, if you have WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!!!!

Great pre comms, arrived on time full of beans and enthusiasm. Not deterred by cold or a long tour, listened to suggestions and knocked every idea out of the park. Patient during tech issues and posed to perfection in every set. I have worked with her once before and was amazed, was just blown away this time as well. Great lady, great model, loads of fun. Definitely recommend!!!

This was my 3rd shoot with Rachelle. A super model. She is also a great dancer - so we got many lovely images. Highly recommended. Hope to arrange another shoot soon.

What can I say about Rachelle that hasn't already been said. Well quite simply she is the best model I have had the pleasure of working with & I'm very lucky to have worked with some good ones. I worked with her 3 times last year and already have 2 lined up for this year. This one at Hallam Mill, well she just gets better & better. She instinctively gets the best out of the surroundings helping you to get the best possible shots. I always look forward to our meetings, long may they continue.

Obviously Highly Recommended.

I have been booking Rachelle regularly since 2013 and today we completed our 4th shoot this year. This was the first in all the shoots that we have done together where Rachelle did her own hair and make-up. I was very pleased with the results. Our regular make-up artist is one of the very best but today Rachelle produced some different looks with her own very accomplished skills. She is an amazing model and now I know to be highly skilled at make-up and I am very much looking forward to the projects we have planned for 2017.
