References for Sinopa Rin

Reference 809, what a pleasure to write it. Shot again with Rin today, after about a 10 year gap - I wish I hadn't left it so long. Lovely day, lovely shots, all good.

All the usual stuff (comms etc) up to her usual high standard, so with all of that done, we just played with the light. Effortless.

I had a wonderful shoot with Rin at F/8 Studio in Gloucester. I have shot with Rin now many times and it is always a pleasure.

She put up with my obsession for portraits and profile images.

Rin is a stunning lady and has a fantastic look. It would be very difficult to take a bad picture of her.

The time with Rin goes by so quick, 4 hours flies by.

Rin is always a joy to work with, and the pictures we created always look wonderful.

A complete joy. Look forward to her next visit.

This is quite possibly the most unnecessary reference I'll leave during my time on PP. 815 Positive references at the time of writing this, not a single negative.. Rather speaks for itself. And yet.. How could I not add my own 2p on how incredible Rin was to work with. During a studio day at F/8 in Gloucester, I turned up to shoot with Rin during a late afternoon session, not a speck of natural daylight left.

And yet, despite my utter ineptitude with studio lighting, Rin being the accomplished and multi-talented person that she is was able to lend a hand to the process, making for a wonderfully positive collaboration, suggesting lighting setups and props to use. All of which culminated in some of my absolute favourite shots of all time.

A delight to work with. A wonderful person to converse with.

She is just.. Yeah. Amazing.

3000% recommended!

Communication before shooting was good and promt. We did a remoteshoot at the Fareham studio. Studio was very good for remoteshooting. It was very easy to work with Sinopa Rin. She posed well and we got a marvelous amount of photos. She is also very good to express different feelings. I am very pleased for the result and will certainly shoot with her again.

A last-minute casting by Sinopa Rin having availability at Fareham Studio. Too good to miss. So, all arranged. Train no problem getting to Fareham on time.

Bus left the stop being at the side of road below the station approach. Found the bus times have been changed from what I understood. Moved to next stop. No.9 never arrived so walked. Got disorientated as no street names so I am going in the wrong direction, no mobile signal. Got on wrong bus (to Bus Station) even though I asked the driver about where I wanted to go. Cue mini meltdown afterwards. I did find my way there eventually (after having to backtrack as impassable as directed).

All the while phoning Sinopa to let her know, cheerfully no problem. When I arrived cheerfully welcomed to Fareham Studio. It was like it wasn’t like over 5 years since I first photographed Sinopa in Bath 10th May 2018. One cold bottle of mineral water later. All set.

Starting at 10:07:17 GMT per camera or 11:07:17 BST. So over 1hr late starting for a 2hr shoot. See never going to plan again.

It did not matter. Shooting upstairs at Fareham Studio is like I suppose one sees the Albert R Broccoli 007 Stage in use at Pinewood Studios.

I was amazed by what it offered. Multiple sets from a backdrop wall with fireplace to a snug living room to a boudoir alcove and a bedroom. Plenty of props. The most amazing natural light from the windows, diffused as needed by curtains.

Sinopa made several lovely outfit changes (so fast at changing) and I think it is nice to have a model that can keep up with how fast you shoot in sets.

A signature style and I note immaculate turnout every time.

Multiple sets of photographs using the upstairs floor and I am amazed at the results particularly as throughout only available light was used which was coming through the windows. No Studio Lighting at all.

5 different looks overall in a shoot ending at 11:13:16 GMT or 12:13:16 BST.

In 1-hour 5mins and 59seconds 437 shots.

Need to get results fast? Book her. Need to get good results? Still book her. Guaranteed!

It makes all the difference to have such a professional! Whether in front of the camera or behind it, as I have said before she is a photographer in her own right and a very fine one.

She doesn’t try to tell you how to photograph or vice versa, every shoot is a collaboration.

She does what she says. Professional, polite, friendly and works to the best of her ability.

Which is into orbit. A most enjoyable time and nerve less, no trouble, no fuss, before, during and after the shoot.

Proof again that one only needs a model, photographer, and a camera to get results.

Anyone who knows her will know all about her many qualities, model, photographer and yes now for myself studio owner.

She knows her subject, knows how to model and photograph.

I have read a long time ago that to be a portrait photographer while you must know how to photograph, you really need to be a people person.

She certainly puts people at ease, talkative, learned something, excellent photos from every shoot.

It is most instructive to see how easy she makes it seem, which of course it isn’t but a sure sign of someone who is a master of their subject.

Fareham Studio is an unassuming but wonderful place to photograph in!

One of the few people I have photographed more than once.

Do intend to do so again? Of course!

Till next time. I naturally recommend this awesome and lovely artist.

A 2nd last minute casting. I will look out for a 3rd one.

I did manage to find my way back easily enough and quicker having found the route. I was going the right way in the first place as it happens but note to self. It may be easier to take a Taxi from the Station.

Out of her many qualities, if I had to pick a couple it would be these. She is what she says and her reputation.

She comes with neither a diva attitude nor a price tag!

Till our next shoot.

Thank you.

Mark

It was a privilege to shoot with Rin during her studio day at Art Asylum. Rin had thought through the clothes to match the mood boards I sent, posed brilliantly with expression, looked amazing and was wonderfully easy to work with making the shoot delightful and productive. Thanks Rin!

Just had another great shoot with Rin, this time at her studio day at Art Asylum Reloaded in Weymouth.

Rin is very experienced and very professional, bringing exactly the type of retro outfits I was looking for for the shoot. She was happy shooting some street fashion and portrait on a rather chilly Weymouth seafront and was a pleasure to work with.

Definitely very highly recommended and I certainly hope to work with her again.

I said on another reference recently that "Would you recommend..." needs a stronger answer than just yes.

Have a look at Rin's pictures, and if you have any aspiration to shoot that kind of work then move heaven and earth to shoot with her. Why? Apart from what you can see in the pictures?

I shot with her this weekend, she had planned to do some aerial focused sessions at Aura studios and bafflingly they hadn't sold but that's what we did. Swinging upside down from a hoop isn't the most comfortable thing, but Rin would have a look at the back of the camera and say 'I can improve on that' and go back and do shots again, and put that little extra into what I thought was already a good shot - her work-ethic is fantastic. Then there's just having that instinct for the right thing to make a shot, whether it's pose, or costume, or how to make use of props (she's previously demonstrated her skill with lighting - getting to the set up I wanted in no time where I would have wasted a big chunk of the shoot getting to it) - that ability to take part of an idea and bring it to life.

And on top of all that, models who have any decent length of career are always nice to work with, and Rin has that in spades.

However one scores models, she gets top marks - one of those models who makes me feel I'm a better photographer when I work with her. What else can I say? Book her already!!

Happy Jack

Rin came to my studio, HappyJack in Birmingham on a dreadfully wet and windy day. She was perfect! brightened the place up and we captured some awesome images. I cant wait to book her again. Thank you Rin

MarkLanigan

What an amazing shoot with Sinopa Rin! We shot on a beach at sunset and got in the water too for some amazing shots, alongside Rogue Wild. I cannot applaud her professionalism enough, she was great! She brings a wonderful personality, an incredible skill set for modelling, but not just modeling, for art, photography and set knowledge, all in one. She knows how to gel with the images you want, and she always understands the assignment. After talking to her and discussing what I had in mind, she absolutely nailed it.

She was not afraid to get wet in the water, brought incredible poses, and a very friendly personality that really helps on set.

I am honoured that I got to shoot with her and I am definitely looking forward to shooting her again. Other togs, make sure you go and shoot with her!

Thanks for having me

Rin was one of the models at a charity shoot I attended. She had a different outfit for every photographer, the attitude of a trouper and went out and smashed it.

If you've looked at her portfolio you will see how she brings pose AND expression AND emotion to her images. To watch her do that in front of the lens was awesome.

If you are considering booking her - stop considering and just do it.

Thanks Rin

I shot with Ron at a charity shoot and really enjoyed my time with her, I had shot with Ron once before so I knew good images were a certainty.

We managed to create some lovely image together in the short time we had with Ron spotting little places that would work well with the outfit she was wearing.

Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Rin came to Basford Hurst Cottage to attend a group charity event hosted by Lottirose.

Having already spoken to Rin about organising a studio day here at Basford, it was a pleasure to meet her and have her for the event. We were so grateful to all the models who gave their time to help with this amazing day.

Rin is fantastic model and worked tirelessly with every photographer throughout her time here to create many amazing images. I heard nothing but glowing reports!! She made sure to respect our location at all times and was happy to ask if she needed something.

Rin stayed over night at Basford after the event and we all had a great evening chatting over a pizza!!

I would highly recommend Rin and I hope to see her again soon!!! Thank you Rin!!

Rin is delightful, she is very professional, has a great range of poses outfits and experience making her an awesome model to work with.

She helped bring out the best in my poses when we worked together and was such a bundle of charisma and laughs!

I met Rin at the group charity shoot for Crohn's disease organised by Lottii Rose at Basford Hurst.

Instantly after meeting Rin, I got a really kind warm vibe from her and she was so nice to be around! She was incredibly helpful in the changing room, always offering to help any model with pretty much ANYTHING! She also introduced me to a whole new world of corsetry and very kindly allowed me to wear one of her corsets for a session with one of the photographers!

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to do any duo shots with Rin however everyone who did work with her spoke very highly of her professionalism and from the few shots I have seen along with sneaks of her posing on the day- she is inspirational and a true professional!

Hopefully we get to work together in the future! I would highly recommend to anyone!

LottiiRose

I emailed a generic email to Rin thinking shell never agree to this, shes far too busy and too good for charity days lottii... ill send it but its pointless and just cheeky at this point.

But would you believe it, she replied AND said yes!! I did a little happy dance and havent looked back!

Rin has been a model ive looked up to for years, shes so beautiful and you can put her literally anywhere and she will make it work. Its mind boggling to be honest.

She turned up on the day with some stunning outfits and worked so hard all day (which was such a long day!) and I couldnt be more thankful for it!

All of the photographers were so happy with their shots of her and a few mentioned how amazing she is!

Thank you SO much for coming along, you were a joy to work with and even better to meet!

Much love, Lottii x

3rd September 2023: Shot with Rin as part of a Crohn's Disease charity shoot organised by LottieRose and hosted by Basford Hurst Cottage Photographic location near Leek. Great shoot, Rin looked every inch a pre-Raphaelite beauty and posed excellently with very little direction from myself and we got some great images, IMO. Shot solo at the bridge in the woodland area and also on the steps to the new patio at Basford, then finished with a group shoot with the other models at the water feature. One of several great shoots during a great day ! Would work with Rin again without hesitation, highly recommended.

Wow! It was great to meet Rin at a charity shoot arranged by Lottii Rose at Basford Hurst Cottage. Due to the schedule we didn't really get to shoot, but I was desperate to shoot with her so we managed to grab a few quick images! Such a fantastic and experienced model, in the 2 minutes we had she helped me find the best spot for light and looked amazing so we got some amazing images that I am delighted with. Hope we can shoot for longer sometime and highly recommended, thank you so much Rin for modelling at this event!
