I teamed up with fashion designer, entrepreneur and mega babe Kirsty from Lime Blonde for a tropical shoot on the beautiful beaches on Hoi An in Central Vietnam. Kirsty runs a incredible swimwear company based in Scotland. Her designs are the definition of summer and have been seen on IT girls across the globe.
High quality material and flattering cuts make Lime Blonde high on my list of fave swimwear brands... So much that I kept the red flamingo swimsuit and the two piece. I wear them ALL the time and the bikini top doubles up as a sports bra.
I recruited my two beautiful models, Daria and Veronika (who are also working and travelling around the world) on Facebook and headed for the beach. We shot the poolside shots at the Atlas Hotel in Hoi An. I especially love the fun and playful vibe of these photos and can't wait to shoot with Lime Blonde again!
I received this amazing testimonial from Kirsty (thanks Kirsty for the kind words!) -
'Nicki was a dream to work, she's not only a very talented photographer but is also very intuitive to a brands needs. It can be difficult for swimwear designers in the UK to get the type of product imagery that we want to represent our brand so when Nicki proposed a shoot in Vietnam, I jumped at the opportunity.
had seen Nicki's work on my feed because she worked with Burnt Soul clothing and her eye for this type of work is incredible. I had never worked with a photographer on a different continent before but she kept me in the loop at every possible moment and made my dreams come true.
The final images are just stunning and I can't recommend her highly enough. I already know we will be shooting again. Thanks so much Nicki!'
