Had my first shoot with Raphael couple of days ago I and I can just say: AMAZING !!! Lovely, very welcoming and calm, creating great shoot atmosphere. Excellent photographer and so creative. He made me feel very comfortable and safe willing to try new things and poses. Such a fun shoot!! I definitely would like to shoot with Raphael again and will recommend him to any model beginners or experienced looking for a talented photographer with lovely personality 🫶🏻

Raphael is an excellent photographer with a warm and friendly personality. During my second photoshoot at his house, the weather was not in our favor, but Raphael's positive energy and creativity ensured that the shoot was not ruined. He had great music playing in the background, which added to the overall atmosphere of the shoot. He is a very thoughtful and enjoyable person to be around, and I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a talented photographer with a great personality.

Had a great shoot with Raphael on Tuesday.

After a long time of trying to organise a shoot together in the past then me leaving the scene of modelling and returning it was great that he replied to my casting and we got to shoot together.

Raphael had so many awesome ideas and we worked together to make some great shots.

He’s very creative and professional and also lost importantly a very kind soul and it was a pleasure working with him, he give great advise on how to pose my back without hurting myself and is very effective on getting the perfect angles, even if he does need to swap cameras all the time , he is dedicated to getting the perfect shot.

I can definitely recommend Raphael to all models of any experience!!

Thankyou for a great shoot and would love to work together again

FUN AND AMAZING

I would put my shoot with Gyoko as TOP 10 in my life, it was so much fun shooting with him, everything was parfait! I sang high praises about him after the shoot, definitely someone I would love shooting with again. We just vibe I think!

CREATIVE AND PROFESSIONAL

He's also really professional and made me feel comfortable working with him, what amazed me was seemingly hundreds of lenses and cameras he was working with and changed so quickly for each picture. What AMAZED me even more was the ever changing-revolving set design and backdrops he had despite the small studio space that made it look otherwise, that made it feel like a fun theatre show, almost like a dance.

It was a high energy and creative shoot, trying to chase the sunset and good lighting, with many creative ideas together that made beautiful pictures!

Had a great shoot with gyokko yesterday, he had a unbeatable sense of humour and personality aswell as being a amazing photographer.

We tried out lots of new poses and he gave me clear directions, I have learnt a lot!

I can't wait to see the results and would highly recommend him to any model! 😊

I finally had the chance to work with Raphael, after many years exchanging messages and trying to meet up somewhere.

And well, it was better than I could have ever imagined :)

Raphael is fun, a good conversationalist and a pro to work with. He knows exactly what he wants from each set, but he's also open to experiment and try new things.

He wasn't even feeling 100% on the day of our shoot, but he made the effort and didn't cancel, and was enthusiastic and energetic throughout the day. I really appreciated that.

Needless to say I am really looking forward to see the results of our shoot and I can't wait for another chance to shoot with Raphael again.

Thanks my dear! See you soon!

I'm still looking for right words to describe the shoot... EPIC, LEGENDARY, F@#$KING AWESOME? You for the point! ;)

I've been waiting forever to work with Raphael. His work has a specific signature of striking colours and beautiful sexiness. Finally the day did come!

The shoot started little different than planned as I was late for an hour. However, Raphael was really patient and kind and even didn't tell me off for being not very punctual. Once I arrived, he made some tea and patiently waited while I was done with the make up. Unluckily, the day was very dark, miserable and rainy (like you would expect British summer to be). However, this factor didn't stop Raph and he started to create some beautiful pictures with some help of colourful lighting. The shoot was based on the 'cool girl vibes' with lots of experimenting. Whole creativity process was basically build on full of experimental ideas, sets building,lovely chats and shares of stories. It was so natural and fun to work with this lovely photographer - it felt like I'm seeing an old friend.

The day flied like in the blink of the eye and I think it's not fair as I had so much fun & didnt want it to end 😊

I would forever recommend this artist as the most fun and amazing person to work with.

My dear Raphael, thank you so much for such a wonderful day, all the support, your company, skills and compliments. It means a lot! Cannot wait to see final edits as the pictures were bomb! xx P.S. please take care of my "boyfriend" Andrei and don't be too harsh on him. I believe he can change 😄

Lots of love, Rosita

I had my first Gyokko & my goodness.. I was absolutely wowed by the day!

Gyokko has a fantastic, creative eye. Before the shoot he shared with me his ideas & we executed them perfectly on the day. He ensured the ideas I had were all achieved making me feel very valued.

Not only is Gyokko professional, he is fun, funny & a remarkable man. As soon as we were into our first conversation, I felt at home with him. He made me feel super confident, pumped, yet relaxed & at ease.

He gave me complete privacy when changing outfits & made me feel incredibly safe.

Gyokko.. You are a star! I truly loved shooting with you & the advice & support you give me are highly appreciated & valued.

I am so excited for our next shoot with you & moving forwards on a regular basis.

Fantastic photographer & an even greater person 🙏🏽💫

Thank you!

After a few years from our previous shoot, we managed to create together again, this time remotely in my warehouse in France.

I had such a wonderful time with Raphael. He brings out the best in me, always encouraging, enthusiastic and allowing me to express myself in front of the camera while he makes sure everything else is under control.

He comes highly recommended and I am very much looking forward to working again with him :)

I have worked with Gyokko a few years ago and he was the first photographer to ever shoot me. To date he is in the top 3 of my favourite people to work with. His creativity and talent produce beautiful images and he is a pleasure to work with.

Highly recommend, definitely work with him if you can 😊

Raphael is such a lovely person and an extremely talented photographer. We had been talking for ages and finally (last minute) managed to get together.

It was truly a pleasure and definitely one of my favourite shoots to date. Raphael is very welcoming and I felt comfortable and relaxed the whole shoot.

We worked our way through a range of ideas and from what I saw we smashed them all! He takes care getting the camera settings just right which definitely pays off.

He let me flow through poses but also helped direct at times, which was helpful.

Time flew and the shoot was over before we knew it - a sign of a shoot gone well 😊

Highly recommend working with Gyokko to any model and hope to work together again soon.

Raphael was lovely, friendly and accommodating. He had great ideas for how I could interact with his space and clearly loves his work very much! :)

What an absolute star Raphael is! we finally got to shoot and I can say it was worth the wait... very easy to get along with, fluid in convo, full of ideas and concepts, and open to hear others, time flew by and we managed to get most of the ideas done and even had a bite to eat to celebrate after!

I hope we can shoot again in the near future :)
