References for Rachelle Summers

I have no idea what to write here any more!!!

Rachelle has modelled for me so many times and every time she takes the germ of an idea and turns it into something wonderful. She brings talent, professionalism, beauty and a bubbly miniature fireball of Smurftastic energy to every shoot. She makes my job incredibly easy with her instant understanding of what works and what doesn't for every conceivable shoot idea. Give her a location and she will find a way to interact that makes the scene magical and give her a studio and she'll make you wish you'd booked more time. On workshops she is patient and helpful with less experienced photographers and offers great creative ideas for more experienced photographers. She is quite simply the best model I have ever worked with.

I have known Rachelle for years now and worked with her so many times, she has become more than a model, she is a muse. She is not simply a work colleague who is also a good friend, Rachelle is a great friend who I sometimes work with and I am so honoured to have been invited to her wedding (who says I'll cry like a little girl?).

Truly awesome in every way, the soon to be Mrs Limpy is a "must book" model for anyone serious about creative model photography.

Rachelle added so much to Sunday's Film Noir shoot with Photo Classic. A terrific pocket dynamo of a model brimming with energy on such a long day. A consumate professional Rachelle is terrific to work with and brings an astounding level of energy to a shoot.

Recipe:take a freezing cold, wild, stormy North Sea, an exposed windswept beach, a liberal dose of constant rain, add one Rachelle, sift out her clothes, add a camera and you get a short but very fulfilling shoot.

A pure pro, battling conditions that nearly had her off her feet to produce some beautiful and dramatic images.

Always a joy to work with. Thank you.

Rachelle was the model in a workshop I attended today. She was an absolute trooper, in freezing temperatures. Even though the weather was against us, I came away with some cracking images.

Rachelle is friendly, professional and absolutely stunning. I'll be looking to book her for a studio shoot the next time she's in the area.

Just completed another shoot with Rachelle in the studio in Edinburgh. Well absolutely super as always. Everything correct and professional pre-shoot and on the day an excellent experience. Have downloaded the photographs and they are all excellent due to Rachelle's beautiful appearance and superb ability in posing.

Most highly recommended.

What to say hmmmm ..... I have worked with Rachelle many many times now and am extremely please and honoured to call her my friend. So looking forward to her wedding next week :-). But putting our friendship aside, I have to say, if you want to work with the most fantastic model you will ever meet, book Rachelle NOW. Rachelle is so adaptable, professional, friendly, this little smurf will always bring her "A" game and never let you down. I have never taken a bad picture of Rachelle and believe me that's down to her skills, not mine. Highly recommended :-)

Yet another super shoot with Rachelle when she was up here in Edinburgh. Exceptionally professional, with all you could ask in a model. She brings everything to the shot with her beautiful skin, shapes and posing.

Thank you again and as always most highly recommended.

Rachelle and I met up on her home turf, having previously shot a number of times in London.

As always coms were to perfection.

Having met me at the station, we drove to a beech location and managed to shoot various sets, despite the world and their mother being out on a glorious day.

We then retired to Rachelle's beautiful house, where we were able to cary on shooting uninterrupted.

As always being in the company of this fabulous lady is a true delight, the Arch Professional in all that she does!

As her big day arrives I am sure we all wish her and Mark the very best for their future together, so very deserved.

With over 800 references to her name, I'm unlikely to add anything that hasn't been said already, all I can say is I can see exactly why people leave such positive references.

Rachelle, truly deserves all the praise she gets. This was my first shoot with Rachelle and I certainly hope there will be more in the future. She has an amazing array of poses and she knew exactly what I was looking for even though my descriptions are not always the best.

Great model, great shoot and some great images to come

Rachelle and I shot together at Pauls Studio Manor House event and then had a 4 hour hour solo the next day at her studio day. Rachelle's been on my list of models to work with and I'm so, so glad we got to hook up. Even after weekend of shooting her I feel I'be barley scratched the surface of Rachelle's abilities. I hope we can work together again before long and perhaps even as due with the wonderful Tillie Model. Thanks Rachelle!

Lovely to have Rachelle back in the studio for our third shoot this year. And we had the amazing MUA Helen Andrew on set as well. Rachelle brought some superb lingerie with her which we used for the first part of the shoot. She is more tanned now than on our previous shoots and I really like her skin tone. If it was possible to improve an already perfect figure she has done it, with a her boobs looking even more firm and rounded and that outstanding booty at it's best. We had the Brazilian Samba on the soundtrack and Rachelle would not look out of place in the Rio carnivals. Went for more edgy stuff later on in the shoot then tried out some new colour combinations. A great day as always, bring on the next one.

It's a bit difficult to know what to say about Rachelle, without repeating what has already been said countless times.

We had the shoot all arranged ages ago and we were confident we knew what we wanted to shoot, with Rachelle turning up with the required outfit. Alas, circumstances dictated we were not able to go through with that concept.

Fortunately Rachelle was due to attend another shoot later, so had turned up with a vast suitcase of outfits. When I say "vast" I mean vast: the suitcase was nearly as big as her. This however is not difficult: see her Stats.

I gave her a couple of ideas and each time she disappeared for a while to her changing room and reappeared looking exactly as specified.

Rachelle is pretty, has a superb figure and is an absolute professional, along with being pleasantly chatty.

Thank you for a very productive shoot, Rachelle.

PS Rachelle likes her tea strong.

Had the pleasure of working with Rachelle for a couple of hours at the end of her studio day yesterday.

Not really sure if I can add anything to the many references below. Even though it was the end of a long day it didn't show, bright and breezy when I arrived and ready to shoot before we changed the lights. Poses with confidence and ease, style changes were quick and efficient - and we managed to create some worthy shots when quickly reviewed on the laptop.

Open to try one of my suggestions - sorry the props were cold!

Would most definitely work with Rachelle again - recommended (Y)

Be warned, she likes to chat and she's pretty much convinced me to travel North for another shoot, logistics permitting.

Rachelle is an amazing model, I'm not at all surprised that the reference count is above 900 - just wish I'd been organised enough to arrange a shoot earlier. I can't really add anything new to what has already been said, but can confirm that the results are excellent and I'll be looking forward to another shoot with her as soon as I can arrange it.

I took a last moment slot with Rachelle at Shoreditch Home Studio. The studio is excellent, but it pales into insignificance against Rachelle's posing, look and style. She is so easy to work with, relaxed, chatty, and needing little direction. In our two hours we achieved a whole raft of great images, and I am now left with the task of selecting and editing the best of those. Believe me, it's going to be no easy job as so many came out perfect.

I'd highly recommend Rachelle, and if you get the chance to shoot with her, jump at it!

I just love working with Rachelle! ......one of the best models around. Always helps when a model knows what she's doing. Got some fantastic images and poses that only she can produce.

Looking forward to the next shoot. Very highly recommended!

At short notice I was lucky enough to enjoy one of the most instructive shoots I've ever had. Two of the best teachers. The incredible, beautiful and talented Rachelle Summers and the Master of lighting and coffee making Max Operandi at his studio. Thanks Guys I will be back asap! Tomorrow?!!!

If you get the chance book them.

Max Operandi

What more can be said about the dynamic and talented Miss Summers? Rachelle held a mini modelling day at my studios and after she had worked very hard all day with a couple of other photographers, I managed to grab and hour or so at the end of the day.... and I must say she is a fantastic professional model. She is both beautiful and has a fantastic personality... I will definitely work with Rachelle again soon... hopefully for much longer next time! Highly recommended.

Wow! Second shoot with Rachelle and I'm sure she gets more gorgeous each time. It really is nice to work with a model as talented and accomplished as Rachelle. Before I could ask Rachelle to do a particular pose or change direction she'd already thought of it and was coming up with just the best poses and interpretations of what I was looking for. A complete joy to photograph.

Rachelle did a couple of makeup looks as well as retouches throughout the day long shoot and always looked fantastic. She had a great selection of clothes and accessories. Rachelle has a great eye for detail and I welcomed her input on the shoot. We had such a productive day and got along splendidly. All in all a really good shoot.

Rachelle is highly recommended!

They say that the best things come in small packages, well with Rachelle, that is true. Her modelling talent certainly isn't diminutive though. If you prefer a more fluid shoot, without too many set poses or are new to the idea of shooting models, then Rachelle is very good at posing with minimal direction. She is also able to show emotion in her face, with her acting skills. as well as taking up some dance poses if you fancy something with some dynamism..She will also take direction when necessary. She has an easygoing personality and is happy to talk, without feeling the need to fill gaps in a conversation.

As with most good models, she als has an eye for the lighting and she is instinctively aware of the way the light falls and how it will affect the final image.

This means that while you can get on with developing or practising your skille, you can be confident that she will use her skills to the advantage to get the best results possible.

All in all, I had a relaxing and enjoyable shoot with Rachelle and would be happy to recommend her or work with her again. It was also nice to be able to do a location shoot and attempt to bore her with my knowledge of the local area.
