REMOTE SHOOTING WITH NICOLE RAYNER

CREATE ART WITH ME FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD AND FROM THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME

I am personally LOVING remote shooting! The quality is fantastic and so is the experience. I’m kicking myself I didn’t get started much sooner, but now that I have the ball rolling I have already had so many wonderful shoots resulting in awesome images!! (Even if I do say so myself), plus I have made lots of new friends.

Remote shooting is a slower way of working, with more focus on quality over quantity. But that just means that there is lots of time for laughs and fun! I am personally finding that remote shooting is forcing me to get creative and think of new and interesting concepts, and I’m really enjoying the challenge.

All YOU need in order to remote shoot with me is -

A laptop/computer with Internet connection, Watsapp/Facetime and a screen sharing software - my preference is Teamviewer which can be downloaded for free.

Yes that’s really it!

Please read through this page and contact me if you’d like to know more or book a remote shoot.

So How does it work?

Before the day of our shoot we will discuss what you would like to capture with me. I will then create our shoot set up specific to your needs/wants in my home. (I am really enjoying this aspect of Remote shooting, and I love to challenge photographers and be challenged by photographers, so any whacky ideas - you know where to bring them!)

On the day of our shoot I will first call you via Watsapp or Facetime. This feed will give you another view of the shoot and will also allow us to chat freely. I will then give you a code for Teamviewer which will enable you to connect to, and control my Macbook Pro. The camera will be connected to the laptop via a tethering cable and the Canon Utility software. Through this software you are able to control shutter speed, iso, f.stop, focal point and of course, the capture! We will be shooting in Live View Mode so you will see everything as the camera sees it. (As well as the extra view from our video call). You will have the pleasure of bossing and directing me around as much as you would like. You tell me where you would like the camera and lights positioned. the height of tripod, the angle. What you want in frame, how you want me to pose, and so on.

All images are shot in RAW and Jpeg. The raws are written to the memory card and the Jpegs to my laptop. I will send all raws, (jpegs also upon request) via dropbox after our shoot. You will have 100% copyright of the images.

My Shooting Space

My flat is a wonderful open space, which super high ceilings and some wonderful features to shoot. I have huge 3m high windows that let in STUNNING natural light! (Best natural light is currently 10am-4pm GMT UK time.) I have a lovely wooden floor as well as beautiful concrete feature walls.

Everything in my flat can be moved around which is fantastic as I can really get creative with the space. It also means I can create studio like sets or create a homelike vibe.

I have a large range of materials in different colours and textures which can be used as backdrops or for decoration. I have a large range of styling also available.

I have really enjoyed building sets for remote shoots. I would really love to create as many unique images as possible so any ideas you would like to try, please do get in touch!

Here are some images of my space and some examples of some sets/backdrops that I have used in remote shoots.

CAN YOU CATCH EDGAR?

 My wonderful little bunny will be around as we shoot, so one of your challenges, should you choose to accept it, is to try and catch him in a photograph with me. The current best capture will feature HERE >>>>

Current winner is this awesome capture by Darren Phillips, Australia.

Think you can get better?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

- I take full payment in advance to confirm a booking.

- Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice are non refundable. I am happy to hold payment and reschedule a shoot if I am given more than 24 hours notice.

- I am available for 2,3 and 4 hour bookings. Anytime, any day of the week, so I am more than happy to work around timezones.

- I work to artistic nude and soft erotic levels. Examples of what I consider ‘soft erotic’ and what I am happy to shoot, can be seen HERE. Though to be clear, Frank doesn’t mind his hair being on show, but not his lips.

- I reserve the right to remove any shots that may be accidentally too revealing before sending the files via Dropbox.

- I do not consent to video or screen recordings of our remote session, if you wish to take a 'screen shot' or ‘phone snap’ during our session please ask first.

- If you require a signed model release please make me aware of this upon booking.

- I do have some scarring which I normally ask to be edited out of images. If this is an issue please get in touch to discuss.

And that is a wrap. Thank you so much for reading. I will continue to update my remote pages with new backdrops/sets and results.

If there’s anything you would still like to know – please don’t hesitate to ask.

I look forward to connecting with you!
