Myself and another Photographer shot with Rachelle in and around the beach and dunes of Wittering. She was a fantastic model who posed beautifly in the natural surroundings.

She coped well with the sometimes adverse weather (wind blowing sand etc) and the spiky grass and stones.

I really enjoyed the shoot and got some great pictures, thanks to Rachelle's skill as a model and willingness to have a go at all of the things requested.

Highly recommended

Just had another great shoot with Rachelle. She is very versatile, poses superbly, can act out any role she is asked for and is always ready to contribute her ideas. A really top model, highly recommended.

Rachelle is a pleasure to work with; excellent communications and pre shoot preparation, beautiful posing, perfect skin, good makeup skills and great sense of humour, its easy to see why she is so successful, there is simply nothing not to like about her and I highly recommend her.

Thanks for an excellent shoot Rachelle, please keep me posted whenever you're touring this way.

What can you say about Rachelle that hasn't been said before - she is a truly professional model but very friendly and can strike marvellous poses.

Her beauty and fantastic figure and willingness to suffer for her craft will provide you with wonderful images - all you have to do is press the button and leave the rest to Rachelle.

Shot Rachelle twice in the past week, both times got great pictures as always. As well as being one of the UK's best art nude models she is also very easy to get alone with and work with, a good sense of humour is a bonus. First shoot was at 3.30am in very cold sea water and second shoot was in an apartment, so I got very different but top quality shots.

Had an amazing second shoot with Rachelle on Saturday, in a studio this time rather than a hotel. Once again, she was brilliant. Would highly recommend to anyone. Can't wait to upload some images.

Had a great shoot with Rachelle during her trip to Scotland last week. She was great to work with, creating great poses with her hair and make up done to a very high standard. She had an extensive wardrobe with her, and we shot in the apartment which she was staying at - very handy!

Thanks again to Rachelle for a fab shoot, I'd definitely recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future.

Had my second shoot with Rachelle the other day and despite a few problems on my end with lighting, once again she was a delight to work with :) In one hour we got plenty of great images and I can't wait to get some online!

We took a chance on a mid week shoot at Loch Lomond, the weather was not good but as usual Rachelle made the most of dealing with what we had to work with, rain, wind, overcast sky and a £250k motor cruiser that Rachelle made her own. (Now reduced to £215k if anyone is interested)

After a very productive three hours or so we headed off to one of the nearby islands only to be met by every midge that ever was all wanting a piece of Miss Summers. We were about to abort and head back when a bit of wind came up and a slight drizzle sent all the midges heading for cover. This gave us a 10-15 min window to get some shots with Rachelle happy to splash around in the cold water and mud without getting bitten by midges.

I never cease to be amazed at how quickly Rachelle can transform from the height of sophistication to a feral wet and muddy thing, producing poses that are perfect for each setting.

A great model that just keeps getting better with age. (Whoops! Probably should not of said that)

Miss Rachelle Summers, a professional that is worth every penny.

At last! Managed to shoot with the outstanding Rachelle and what a great model who lived up to all hopes and expectations. The weather was not great at first and there were other discomforts, notably pollen, but she is a real professional and still turned out the most amazing and most beautiful poses imaginable. She is a real star who comes alive with the camera on her. Stunning figure, great attitude, hard-working, amazingly beautiful and a real pleasure to work with. I hope this will be the first of many. Highly recommended; Thanks Rachelle :)

Fortunately we had the great pleasure of working with Rachelle on her recent trip to Aberdeen who was superb in every aspect, not only is Rachelle a highly skilled model she is just a lovely person to be with, I don’t think I can add anything that other photographers have already said about her but the ultimate compliment I can offer is she is WELCOME to work with us again and again!!!

Just had my second shoot with Rachelle, it was to be an outdoor shoot and it started off ok until the weather changed its mind and offloaded a rain on us. We ended up with a short studio session back in Aberdeen. The final result of the day was some really good shots with most of it down to Rachelle.

Rachelle is an excellent model and very nice and pleasant young lady who works extremely hard to make sure you achieve the shots you are looking for. Definitely a model to be recommended and if you can't get decent shots working with Rachelle maybe try painting.

I've worked with Rachelle many times before and yet she still comes back. :-D

In the past she has put up with all manner of extremes to get the shot for me or the delegates on my workshops and today was no exception.

We had a 3am start for my "Nude on the Rocks" workshop. The early start alone would be enough to put many people off (indeed one of the photographers booked on the workshop slept in and missed it!) but Rachelle was up and ready to go, despite the fact that she only arrived in Aberdeen at 11.30pm last night!

The cold breeze meant us photographers were wrapped up in fleeces and jackets but Rachelle worked like a naked trooper on several rocky locations along the coast, giving my delegates some spectacular photo-opportunities. It would have been so easy for the photographers to become despondent when the cloud prevented a good sunrise backdrop but the quality and variety in Rachelle's posing, her understanding of how to work with the landscape and the light and her incredible work rate more than made up for this.

We saved the worst for last, finishing the workshop with Rachelle immersed in the freezing North Sea up to her neck and then some amazing poses at the shore, whilst she was assaulted by waves, before Batwoman dashed over to wrap her in a towel as we ended the shoot on a high.

Rachelle is quite simply one of the best of her generation of art-nude models and her tenacity and willingness to "suffer for her art" make her my first choice model for workshops or physically challenging shoots. Her bubbly personality also makes every shoot fun.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachelle to anyone wanting to book a top class art-nude model.

As usual another very successful shoot with Rachelle. The weather was dry but cloudy and we were shooting at 3.30 am in Aberdeen so it was cold. Yet you wouldn't know it looking at the images, Rachelle has this amazing knack of making every shot look like she's in the most comfortable surroundings ever and she is just enjoying lying around, which is often far from the truth up here in the North East Coast of Scotland. Its cold, she is sitting on jaggy wet rocks and sea weed, but looking beautiful.

We left the worst bit till last, when Rachelle went up to her neck in the north sea, warm it was not. The oil industry up here insist everyone takes a survival course and wears a survival suit when being helicoptered to the rigs as the sea is so cold. Yet there she was posing in nothing more than a flimsy dress which she took off half way through.

Rachelle is a very talented professional art nude model and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone.

Just remember, if you do book a model for a cold shoot like this, firstly warn them in advance, not all models will be comfortable posing in the cold. Have plenty of hot drinks, soup and warm jackets and towels with you. Then let the model have as many breaks as is necessary, we usually get them to pose the shot with cloths on, that way they are not sitting around while you mess around with your camera, and she gets dressed again between shots.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rachelle on several occasions. She always gives 100% & with her wealth of experience always has little extra ideas to help the shoot along. Work with this girl you will not be disappointed.

I had my first shoot with Rachelle last weekend. Rachelle was committed from the outset to collaborating to produce stunning images that I was thrilled with. Rachelle was easy to get on with, and was very patient with me. She flowed from pose to pose, and was happy to hold the position, as some of the shutter speeds were on the long side to achieve front to back focus on the landscapes. She was more than happy to go back to the pose and reshoot the ones that I got wrong. Rachelle showed amazing attention to detail, getting her hair perfect before each and every shot, like each image carried her signature. The result...I get home & put the images up and wow! Thanks Rachelle.

Worked again with Rachelle a couple of weeks ago, what a lovely girl she is and a great figure model. Her temperament too proved to be very good, it was a difficult day what with me getting lost trying to find the venue, not to mention the rain. She soldiered on despite all this giving me what has turned out to be some successful images. Will recommend Rachelle to anyone.

After a long wait, I have finally worked with Rachelle. Like some others, she is more than a model, but an "artist" in her own right. When she feels the concept, the results are magical.

She turned up on time to the studio, had excellent communication, and demonstrated well trained techniques within all aspects of her field.

If willing and available, I would have no problem collaborating with Rachelle again.

I had the great pleasure of working with Rachelle at the Guys Cliffe event organised so brilliantly by Nicole Raynor. This involved four models in total.

I have worked with Rachelle before but due to other commitments not for some time - it was great to have the opportunity to shoot with her again.

Rachelle works extremely hard moving from pose to pose with ease and determination to create fantastic images. She has an excellent sense of humour and her enthusiasm is second to none.

Rachelle works brilliantly on her own and with other models, the opportunity to shoot with her was great and I look forward to working with her again very soon.

Thanks again Rachelle - very highly recommended.
