References for Sinopa Rin

Into Darkness

Had the genuine pleasure of working with Rin again at Fareham. I'll detail a reference for Rin as model here, because, well that's what this profile is for.

Rin's earned the 830+ references here easily from being an excellent model, knows exactly what doing, and let's be honest being a downright decent person as well.

Styling is outstanding, skills are at top of game, and because of the photography side as well, you get the back of camera knowledge in front of the camera too - making your life a million times easier.

Rin gets into your head and knows exactly what you're looking for.

Let's not leave it so long for the next time :)

Rin; the consummate professional! My first shoot with Rin and what a joy to work with such an inspiring, creative, friendly and all round lovely person. Rin fabulously ‘brought to life’ a loose concept I had for one of the sets and made a perfect selection of outfits and accessories for the others. Rin’s pre shoot comms were clear, timely and efficient and on the day of the shoot, made sure we got through the chosen sets. It feels a bit redundant to say it after 800 plus references and a fantastic collection of work but Rin is simply stunning and I can’t wait to work on the edits from our shoot. It was an absolute delight to work with Rin and can’t wait to do so again. Thank you Rin.

Just had my second shoot with this talented and beautiful model. My fist shoot was a group shoot on 3rd Nov 2016, at Plymouth Studio Hire. This one was a 1 to 1 home shoot, at Exeter.

Sinope was ready and waiting on my arrival, and communications about the shoot flowed well. The shoot started with several changes of various dresses (one I brought myself) and concluded with lingerie. Our two hr shoot passed by too quickly, but we did manage capture a large amount of lovely images in that time. This shoot was taken all in natural light as the light in the house was very good.

Thank you Sinope for your time, I would like to think we will have another shoot in the future.

Had a two hour shoot with Sinopa and Caitlyn j model at Caitlin’s home on 18th June. Both were very prepared and professional as always. Great to bounce my ideas off and got great results. Sorry it took me so long to shoot in person with Rin.

Definitely recommend both Rin and Caitlyn. 100%

This will be Rin's 834th consecutive positive reference. That and a quick look at her pictures will tell you all you *really* need to know - including how versatile she is. What the pictures and raw number doesn't tell you is just how enjoyable working with her is - I said of another model I'd work with someone horrible to get pictures that good, and put up with crummy pictures to work with someone that nice, and that fits Rin. On top of that, working in her studio her lighting skills mean we get to the setup I want in a fraction of the time it would take me to get there, meaning we can do more ideas. And she takes the bones of an idea and builds on it, brings it to life, adds her own - that could feel like someone taking over, but with her it feels like we've got to the best version of my idea, and I've morphed into a rather better photographer. What more can you ask of a model than to make you a better photographer ?

I was absolutely delighted when Rin responded to my casting for a visit to Portsmouth having had the pleasure of working with her twice before. As with the previous shoots the pre-shoot communications were excellent and we developed a clear plan for what we wanted to shoot but which retained a good deal of flexibility as well.

During the shoot it is fabulous to chat to Rin but this in no way reduces the productivity of the shoot. Rin takes suggestions and direction well but I also value the fact that she makes wonderful suggestions that always add to what we’re capturing.

I have no hesitation in recommending Rin and very much hope to work with her again when I am down south or during one of her tours.

After meeting Sinopa at a group event last year at Basford I just knew we had to organise for her to run a studio day here this year so we got not one, but two days in the diary of course!! :D

All pre comms with Sinopa were great, she kept me up to date and was really helpful when it came to promoting and advertising the event.

Sinopa arrived on time on both days with loads of outfits, props and full of ideas and inspiration!!! Not only is Sinopa an incredible model, she is also very knowledgeable about lighting and styling and made sure every photographer came away with many incredible images!!! Both days flew by and Sinopa was a lot of fun to have around, organised and easy to chat to.

We would of course highly reccomend Sinopa and really look forward to welcoming her back to Basford later this year!!! Thanks Sinopa!!

I shot with Sinopa after seeing one of her studio days advertised at Basford Hurst Cottage, there had been a few studio days advertised here but after hearing positive things about her from other photographers booking with Sinopa was certainly not a hard decision.

Once introductions were out the way comms on the day with Sinopa were very easy going, she's highly professional, knows what she's doing and thrives off feedback and direction, whether that be sharing what's on the back of the camera or verbal direction. Being an established model she will also pose effortlessly with the click of the shutter.

During the shoot, conversation was easy going with no awkward moments, the time flew by which I think stands testament to a good model.

With also being a photographer, she will happily work with you on technicalities in a non condescending and respectful way, and your shoot will absolutely flow if you share your thoughts with her.

I believe that Sinopa will be at Basford Cottage again in September, so I'll very likely be booking again... if you find yourself reading this, hurry up and book :) you won't regret it.

They say be careful meeting your heros.......but they are wrong! Had a short two-hour shoot with Rin but could have worked with her all day. Warm and friendly, open to ideas but also full of her own, knows modelling and photography from both sides of the camera and it showed. She doesn't need me to sell her but I have waited a long time to work with her, I won't wait as long to work with her next time.

As a follow-on from an introductory studio session at Fareham Studio, I booked a 1-2-1 Lightroom tutorial session with Rin. Rin is an excellent teacher; her style is clear and straightforward and obviously backed up with extensive experience on both sides of the camera. Not only did Rin demonstrate the technical functionalities of the editing process but shared invaluable insights into image selections and the range of processing options. Added to which, Rin is an all round lovely person and so easy to get along with. A really valuable and helpful session and I would recommend Rin to any other photographer looking to improve their editing skills. Thank you Rin.

I had the pleasure of working with Sinopa this afternoon and The Boardroom Studio.

She was a delight to work with and we got some great images. Sinopa has been someone that I’ve wanted to work with for some time and she was everything I’d expected her to be. Professional, fun to be with, easy to work with and and all round lovely person.

As I’d not been the studio before and had not worked with Sinopa before I had no pre shoot ideas. I suggested in pre shoot communications that she decide what style and look to go with for a first set. We worked adhoc and just went with the flow without anything pre planned. This allowed us to just run with ideas and let things develop without expectations or pressure.

She is definitely a top model and I’d recommend her to anyone. Hopefully we can work together again at some point in the future.

Thanks for a great shoot.

My oh my - just had the most amazing vintage/retro shoot with Sinopa Rin - it was a four hour shoot with two other photographer friends at the fabulous Fareham Studio.

Rin covered all perfectly - the lights, the sets and of course the modelling.

We did 4 sets of very different vintage styles, types and lighting. Rin excelled at all giving so many fabulous poses and expressions throughout. Of the four sets, the pinup session was my very favourite - Rin’s poses and expressions amazed me totally and were second to none.

Rin’s energy and enthusiasm shone throughout all four beautiful sets and she looked immaculate with every style - the images from all are absolutely wonderful.

It’s always a pleasure and joy to work with Rin and this was no exception. It was a fun shoot that produced so many wonderful and varied images.

Thank you so much Rin - a truly memorable shoot. See you again very soon

Another shoot with the lovely Rin. This time it was a vintage style shoot. Rin had arranged to have her hair styled for this to match the styling she had planned.

We ran through four different sets and styles with clothing selected by Rin who also arranged both the lighting and the sets. Rin's posing and energy is second to none and the time passed very quickly.

Rin is great to work with. Always positive, poses effortlessly, has great makeup and is fun to work with.

I really enjoyed this one so role on the next.

Well recommended by me.

Shoot 3 with Rin. That should tell you all you need to know, but as usual great comms, she's switched on, turned up at the right time, with all the kit we discussed and then did her thing up to her usual very high standard. She let me be a bit bonkers and we had a good day. Lovely to spend time with and super results. Rin does not fail to disappoint and you really ought to shoot with her if you haven't. If you have, why are reading this, you know she's good!

PS if you need some help with your studio set-up she's your girl. Her advice was spot on and my rusty flash skills got a bit of a polish in a very nice way.

Rin was just delightful to work with! I took advantage of the reduced rates that Burford Manor are currently running and jumped at the chance to shoot with her. Her communication was great and she really got my ideas and mood board, right from the start. We went through our ideas and she showed me around the amazing building with so much opportunity and themes. We made a start on an image that I had an idea to shoot and she nailed it immediately. Rin’s extensive knowledge of lighting, composure and just knowing what works really stood out, she is an immensely talented model, one of the best I’ve worked with. Piercing blue eyes, gorgeous red hair and beautiful skin she looks stunning in what ever she has on and in every location. Rin is engaging, intelligent, imaginative and really made the shoot enjoyable, so much so that we over ran without me even realising where the time had gone. Amazing shoot, fabulous images, and all round lovely experience. Thanks so much Rin. KJ

Back in January I had a chat with Rin as I was getting a bit bored with what I was shooting and fancied something different. Rin mentioned that she had a Shibari shoot coming up so would I like to try that. So my shoot with Rin was the result of this conversation.

I certainly found it different but enjoyable. With the help of her friend Ropey Revolver we worked our way through a few different sets with various rope and lighting combinations. I have been shooting with Rin for nearly seven years now and Rin is always a pleasure to work with. Professional, chatty, fun, great with lighting, poses so easily and of course beautiful to photograph.

I have another shoot planned with her and I'm sure there will be many more in the future. Well recommended by me.

I had the pleasure of working with Sinopa Rin during her Shibari studio day at Fareham Studio. I cannot praise her enough, from being patient whilst the rigger, Ropey revolver fashioned some amazing ropework to her effortless and graceful poses.

one look at her portfolio shows how beautiful she is, but she is also very professional and very friendly. She is able to create a wild range of emotions and is a very talented model too. Totally recommended, i look forward to working with Rin Again.

I had the honor of working with Senopa Rin last week and it was great Rin is an accomplished photographer and can create lovely sets at Fareham Studio which she now runs. With her help and advice the success rate of my efforts is very high and when I come to choose images for competitions etc. will be difficult. I'm hoping to work with her again during the year on a couple of other projects I want to try. She gets full marks from me. Thank you, Rin

I don't really know where to start! As a newb to studio shooting, in fact this was my first, I was pretty nervous about it. Never worked with studio lighting, a model in a studio, let alone the owner of the studio.

Rin was amazing, like truly unbelievable. She listened to my ideas, was patient while I fumbled around and was a great teacher on the day. Then She posed, chose the outfits, and made me feel like a superstar behind a camera.

What a great experience, I'm still stoked & buzzing now, a couple weeks later and will be catching up with her again as soon as I can think of some more crazy ideas!

Thank you Rin....🙏📸🙏

I recently had the pleasure of shooting with Rin in Edinburgh's Old Town and public buildings, and can only echo what was said in previous references.

Professional, engaging and encouraging, Rin is a photographer's dream. We shared ideas, and Rin's experience on both sides of the camera, creative soul and eye for light and composition helped bring my images to a level I didn't think I was capable of achieving.

Striking, graceful, with an ethereal quality and a joy to work with, Rin was also incredibly intuitive on making the light and environment work to our advantage.

It was such a positive and creative experience collaborating with Rin, and with the added bonus of having Joe as our assistant:)

Whatever your level, I fully recommend Rin to all photographers.
