‘Raquel’ is the nom de plume of established photographer Rachel Spivey.

Formally trained in photography at the renowned Cheltenham and Gloucester College, Rachel began her career at the Hulton photographic archive – working with original negatives from the likes of Fox Studios and Picture Post – before starting work as a commercial photographer over 10 years ago.

With a life-long passion for old movies, retro clothes and all things glamorous, creating a boudoir studio with a vintage twist was a natural next step.

Rachel creates a fun and friendly environment and will work with you to devise looks and strike poses that really show you at your best.
