MODEL Nicole Meyer is used to making waves in front of the camera — but has recently tried giving things a shot behind the lens.
The 31-year-old South African is pictured posing in a bikini on a tropical beach — a world away from the streets of West London, where she snapped images of revellers enjoying Notting Hill Carnival.
She posted some of her shots on Instagram, telling her 111,000 followers: “I love people, cultures & unity so much.
“These faces just warm my heart.
“Carnival gave me a chance to capture some moments on film for the first time that I found interesting and got given beautiful smiles … everywhere.”
The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model is a regular in front of the camera starring in ads for top brands like Guess.


She recently visited Chelsea‘s football stadium to watch at match late last season, commenting: “There’s always a first time for everything.”
Nicole has also shared pictures from the Nou Camp watching Barcelona.
The globetrotting model regularly posts stunning pictures from all over the world on her Instagram feed, as well as her glamorous modelling shots.
And sometimes, she even combines the two, posing in scenic locations, like a remote beach or even in front of France‘s Eiffel Tower.
