I worked with the lovely Rhys for the first time a couple days ago and what a wonderful shoot it was! Fantastic pre and during comms, creative ideas, great locations - couldn’t have gone better! His work speaks for itself and as a person he’s a joy to be around, the perfect balance of banter and being productive. We already have our second shoot booked which I’m looking forward to, many thanks for a great shoot Rhys ☺️

My first shoot with Rhys was an amazing experience. Rhys is such a friendly, easygoing, and thoughtful person, which made me feel warm, cozy, and completely comfortable throughout the shoot. We communicated easily, and he brought a lot of outfit ideas and creative concepts, making it easy to prepare and know what to expect. He was also very accommodating with timing, adjusting to make sure I felt comfortable. On the shoot day, he planned an itinerary to capture beautiful locations for varied shots, each perfectly suited to his great taste in clothing. We created stylish, memorable images around Wales, with each location adding something special. Afterward, he kindly sent me photos, and I'm so happy with how they turned out. We had a lot of fun chatting, and the time passed so quickly. Thank you for this amazing experience, Rhys! I look forward to working together again.

Had a fab shoot with Rhys on my recent visit to Wales. He selected some beautiful locations and was really accommodating working around ground conditions and people. The shoot was very relaxed, we had a great chat throughout and time just flew by. I love the images he's already posted and am looking forward to seeing more. Really hope we get to work together again soon and have no hesitation recommending him to any model, he's a lovely person and great photographer.

Well, Rhys keeps on surprising me!

Being willing and even exited to work with my neon hair! (I adore that)

Again being willing to take me to an interesting location, as we walked on this beach (the rain came down) Now It would be silly to make our way to a location and not shoot. I held my coat tightly as rain poured down and as it eased I swung it off and posed in the rain. With that, the rain eased, and we continued to venture.

On our adventure, there was a swing, and it was a simple MUST to pose on the swing. The second location was lovely too! (all I will say is fairy door)

Rhys was kind enough to send copies as he knows I like to do editing (I'm really grateful

Thank you for your time and company!

Recently been in communication with Rhys about a photo shoot. Been a while since we've worked together and I've been out of the scene myself to pursue different things and now I'm back modeling.

While in discussion of our shoot, I proceeded to ask Rhys if he was okay with changing my hair. To my complete and utter shock and disbelief he said yes!

At first, I was a bit worried because my hair became bright pink! So before the photo shoot I took some photos just to let him know and he said it looked lovely which again I was shocked at!

Rhys Jones letting me have pink hair? (Who knew)

At first it was originally arranged for 3 outfits but then moved on to four. I prepaid for the shoot! I had my outfits ready shoes ready and dyed my hair Before Time.

Rhys was kind enough to come to my home and pick me up even though I offered to drive to the location and meet him there so I'm really thankful about that.

I'm a bit frail due to my back problems, Rhys was kind enough to offer me his hand and help me, so again appreciated!

I was in awe of the last location but I do love a good urbex! It was lush!

Rhys even made sure I had all my things by the time we had parted ways so again I very much appreciate that!

Strongly recommend (go check out my pink hair)

Excellent first shoot today!

100% recommend Rhys, very professional and knows exactly how to get the most out of every location.

Next shoot booked!

I'm going to run out of ways to describe how wonderful it is not only to shoot with, but just to send time with Rhys!!

A gentleman doesn't cover it. A more genuine, generous, caring and brilliant person to be around you will struggle to find!!

A damn good photographer too I might add!! He always brings his wicked sense of humour, his warm and huge personality and his pastries with him... and then we crack on taking some beautiful images!!

You honestly won't find many better experiences than spending the day shooting with Rhys!! We have such a giggle and I am genuinely honoured to count him among my close friends!!

Truly a fantastic man, great creative and a wonderful friend!!

Couldn't be happier with the relationship we have built up over the past year and will always be grateful for the advice, support and encouragement he has given me!!

Thank you so much Rhys!!

Can't wait for next time!!

Your bestie,

Daniella x

Even though my train broke down and the shoot didn't exactly go to plan (no one's fault), I still had a really nice shoot with Rhys. He was respectful and considerate of me and I would definitely shoot with Rhys again.

Thank you Rhys

I just adore working with Rhys,

Always a gent, always making me laugh and a very talented tog to boot!! I especially enjoyed this shoot, as it was a special occasion, and I think our early celebration was a complete success even though the lovely welsh weather tried its best to ruin it!!

Always goes far too quickly, but never too far away from the next shoot so there is always something for me to look forward too!!

Thank you so much for a wonderful day and a wonderful shoot!!

Rhys and I finally managed to book a shoot after wanting to work together for a while now!

Pre comms were great, Rhys was at the station when I got there and we got straight to work on location in Camarthen.

Really enjoyed the shoot, lots of amazing locations (even if they were hard to walk on in heels!!) and lovely coffee and chat afterwards while looking through the photos.

We already have another shoot booked in which I'm really looking forward to!

Thank you Rhys :)

I recently had my 4th shoot with Rhys and I must say that I absolutely love working with him!! We always have the best time!! He really is the most wonderful person! He is so easy to work with, has a brilliant sense of humour and I feel so safe in his company! We did some fashion shots out on location, followed by some lingerie shots at my home and I really can't wait to see the photos! Even though it was an all day shoot, the time goes so quickly when working with him!! The next shoot can't come soon enough!! Thank you so much Rhys!! :)

Ella Ru

3rd shoot with Rhys and they get better with each one!! A true talent, and great laugh and a lovely gentleman to go with it!! Very much looking forward to seeing the results of this shoot and with so many ideas in the pipeline, I’m beyond excited for our future shoots!! 😊

Thank you so much again Rhys,

An absolute pleasure 😊

Second shoot and so many more I hope to have with Rhys. A gentleman, start to finish, just a real sweetheart. Takes a beautiful photo too it has to be said!! So full of ideas for shoots in the future and I could not recommend him highly enough!! An absolute pleasure to shoot with Rhys!! Thank you again so much 😘 a beautiful day out!!

Ella Ru

What a wonderful shoot I had with Rhys. A true gent but also extremely talented. Was great to get out of the house and exploring. I really loved our shoot, Rhys has such a good understanding of angles and poses and also how to conduct himself to put a model at total ease!! I firstly cannot wait to see the results and secondly cannot wait to either have Rhys back to the Midlands or head down to Wales to get some more magic outdoor shots!!

Highly recommended. Don’t miss out on any opportunity to work with Rhys.

Daniella 😊

I had my first ever photo shoot with Rhys last Wednesday. He was recommended to me through a friend of mine who has had many photo shoots with him. He was very well organised and punctual, we had great communication before the photo shoot and he had suggested to me prior to bring/choose what ever outfits I wanted to work with before matching different locations to my outfits which were beautiful. He really has a talent for photography as this is something which he enjoys. He was a lovely friendly guy who puts you at ease and makes you feel the most comfortable. I can't wait to work with him again.

It was very easy to get along with Rhys and shooting with him was very laid back. He helped me to decide on the best outfits for different locations and we had a great time despite getting caught in a rain shower. The final images were lovely and I received them quickly after the shoot. I can’t wait to shoot with Rhys again :)

Had my first shoot with Rhys this week.

Communication prior to shooting was great he detailed everything he wanted me to bring footwear wise and what sort of locations we would be shooting at so that I had an idea of what outfits to bring.

After the shoot we sat and had coffee and cake and Rhys let me look through the images and pick some I liked. There were so many great ones and I’ve already posted a couple.

We are planning a couple more shoots already. Rhys is very down to earth, chatty, and if you get the chance to work with him you definitely should. I would recommend it. The locations he knows are great and you’ll have fab images.

I had a fantastic shoot with Rhys today in Carmarthen. The shoot was outdoors on several locations it was a great day. Rhys always shoots on location which is a great change from studios. I highly recommend any model to shoot with him as you will get great images and have fun along the way. Models makesure you bring flat shoes for all the walking etc as well as your high heels. Thanks for the coffee and cake Rhys I’ll catch up with you the next time I’m in the area x
