My shoot with Gyokko was exceptional. That time I did not have any experience and he was happy to explain and guide me. He is creative photographer always focused to achieve best results . He knows how to

bring out the best of the model’s beauty.

Thank you Master Gyokko. 🙂

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.

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 :)

Had a lovely shoot with Raphael. He really puts his heart and mind into the shoot, captures what is meant to be captured and makes you feel relaxed throughout the shoot. Loved how we collaborated and co created together. I’d definitely recommend him!

Had my first shoot with Raphael this weekend and what an absolute pleasure it was! Super down to earth and genuine guy! Our shoot flew by, but we still managed to cover a lot in the time we had.

As a photographer he is very professional and empowering, making me feel at ease from the start. He is an absolute master at getting fabulous photos and at all your best angles, he captures you in your best light in every single photo (without needing to edit)

I would 1000% shoot with Raphael again and recommend him to shoot with to any model, he's an amazing photographer and has a lovely, kind soul.

Hope to shoot with him again soon,

Had my first shoot with Raphael yesterday and all I can say is WOW. Raphael has such a passion for his work, and really wants to get you the best photos. He’s incredible with natural light and has such an eye for detail. He makes you feel so empowered as a model and ontop of the world - it really shows in the shots! He understood me perfectly and what I wanted from the shoot and I’m blown away by just the UNEDITED photos. Absolute 11/10, such a professional and an extremely highly skilled photographer, hands down one of the best I’ve worked with. He seriously knows his sh*t! Such a down to earth guy, who will make you feel and look a million dollars. Girls if you get the chance to, work with this guy he’s absolutely brilliant I’d recommend him to anyone. Can’t wait to see the photos and hopefully we get the chance to work again very soon!

Raph responded to my casting for a shoot with myself and my partner and have to say - It was such a pleasure to work with him. He is clearly very experienced with a good eye for capturing some beautiful shots. Raph also gives great direction, making me and my partner feel comfortable in many intimate moments. Not to mention he gives priceless posing tips! Feel lucky to have worked with this pro and would definitely shoot with Raph again.

Rafael has become a great friend and photographer that I trust.

They call him the "model whisperer" and I totally understand why.

He's just someone you can totally count on for anything.

We were in touch for a long time before I even made it out to London.

He's always there for his friends.

We have done a few shoots together already and look forward to many more! Highly recommended!

I had my first enjoyable shoot with Raphael yesterday.

The hours flew by as we achieved a wide range of shots over a 5 hours shoot.

Raphael is a lovely with whom to work: very enthusiastic, a great sense of humour as well as being professional with good ideas.

Definitely recommended and looking forward to our next shoot! Thanks Raph 😊

Raphael has approached me months ago. Unfortunately, because of the timing issues we couldn’t book our shoot. He has messaged me again later on and this time we have decided to book our shoot way in advance. Finally, one Friday night, I have arrived in London.

He picked me up from the train station and later on, I have been introduced to his friends. We all had a lovely time together, with a nice food and I felt very welcome. The next day I had enough time to get ready for our shoot and I’ve been very curious what we are going to achieve. The apartment wasn’t massive but definitely had the potential. Raphael new exactly what is planning to do, but was also open to my own ideas. A bit crazy, a bit unusual, but he took the challenge :)

I’m a very picky model. I’m very careful who I work with. No matter what style I’m going to shoot, it’s all about quality,

and beautiful art. Raphael has ticked all the boxes. His every picture is absolutely stunning, full of passion, with the attention to details, lighting, angles. Women seem to glow on every shoot. When I’ve seen our images on the back of the camera, I knew he was an artist. I knew that before I met him. He has the natural talent, and he simply knows how to capture women beauty. He can see it, he can feel it. Maybe because he is also a very warm, friendly man with a big heart.

Raphael, it was a pleasure to meet you and your lovely friends. Thank you for having me and I can’t wait for the beautiful edits. How do I know if they are going to be beautiful? Because you are the photographer who never fail.

Highest recommendation
