Hey, Glen here – back in the studio for another smooth ecomm session with the premium European swim label Sommer Swim and the beautiful South African model Rachelle Van Waardhuizen.
Sommer Swim, founded by Anna-Maria Sommer, is known for its sleek, luxury swimwear with a modern European edge. Think sculptural bikinis, flattering one-pieces, shiny Italian fabrics, and minimal designs that celebrate confidence and effortless sensuality. It’s high-end swimwear that feels both bold and refined.
Rachelle Van Waardhuizen brought exactly the right energy to the shoot. Tall, poised, with warm brown eyes and that natural South African glow, she has a graceful yet strong presence that makes every piece look elevated. Repped by Castaway Model Management in Bali (and Boss Models in Cape Town), she’s become a favourite for campaigns that need confidence and elegance.
We kept the studio setup simple and focused: seamless white backdrop, soft even lighting to highlight fabric texture and shine, and clean lines so the swimwear stays the hero. We captured all the essential ecomm angles — front and back views, close-ups on straps and hardware, and subtle movement to show how the suits fit and flatter.
The images turned out crisp, premium, and true to Sommer Swim’s sophisticated aesthetic — ready for their online store and lookbooks.
Thanks to Rachelle for her professionalism and great energy, and to the Sommer Swim team for the continued trust. These studio days are always satisfying when the brand, model, and light all align so well.
