Another fab shoot with Raphael, I always enjoy working with him and we always seem to create lovely images that I feel compliment me and show his creative eye. He's very laid back and shoots with him always go quickly, once again very professional making me feel comfortable throughout and so easy to get along with.

Highly recommend him to anyone!!

I shot with Raphael for the first time back in April (so so sorry I didn't leave a reference before!!)

He's a very talented photographer, capable to make any space into a nice setting for a photo and knows very well how to capture beautiful dreamy light!

He was also very nice to work with, very precise and very educational! He enjoys explaining aspects of photography as he works, so I would recommend him (to any model!) but specially if you're interested in photography!

It was a real pleasure, I hope this was the first of many to come :)

Raph was the one of the cameramen in a series I've been in and I must say he's really really good at what he does! Whether its stills or videos his imagery is so on point! Will definitely recommend him! 😊

My first shoot with Raphael and I sincerely hope it won't be the last!!

This guy is SO much fun to work with. Uber relaxed and I felt like I had known him so much longer from the moment he stepped foot in the door. He has a really fun infectious personality and brings a great atmosphere along to the shoot :)

Was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish and only wish it had been longer!

Without a shadow of a doubt recommend him and really hope to see him again in the future :D

I worked with Raphael twice in two days while I was in London! He's an aaaaabsolute gem! Lovely guy with a very obvious talent; he worked exceptionally well in a very small home studio set up. We tried all kinds of lighting techniques and I found him especially easy to collaborate with regarding styling and and lighting and themes. He listened very well and gave brilliant direction, allowing us to review the sets frequently. An excellent shoot I can't wait to see the images. We even tried some Polaroid shots which was fun. The whole experience was great, very highly recommended, professional and friendly and I'd definitely work with him again. Thanks Rapha

I had a great shoot with Raphael, he applied to a casting of mine and we shot at his for just over a couple of hours. He has a really great eye and is a true creative using and experimenting with different lighting and angles, he has some awesome ideas.

He is really easy to get along with and conversation flowed, he made me feel comfortable throughout the shoot. The images looked so fab on the back of the camera and I can't wait to see them!

Recommend from me :)

Raphael is a top notch guy to work with - I love his photography and his shooting style, and my shoot with him was an immensely positive and fun experience. I felt very comfortable both professionally and personally, enjoyed our exchange, was super impressed with how he casually transformed his living room into a photographic studio, and definitely hope to work with Raphael again regularly in future. Highly recommended to other models. :-)

Luna Forrest

Raphael was good fun to shoot with. He was very respectful and had lots of amazing ideas. I would love to shoot with him again very soon. Xxx

Had a really lovely shoot with Raph yesterday at his. He's very welcoming, a lovely host, and got along with him straight away. Really puts the model's comfort first, which, as we all know, models - makes for the best result in an image. :) You could tell straight away he is very passionate about photography, and that really charged our shoot with energy. We got some absolutely gorgeous shots, based on a careful collection of ideas he'd put into a mood board, but also as a result of his versatility when it came to expanding on an off the cuff idea when we had one. Would highly recommend working with him

I have thoroughly enjoyed my two shoots with Raph whilst visiting London this autumn.

Raph is incredibly talented behind the camera and his post processing skills are equally as pleasing and a pleasure to pose for.

All round fabulous host and brilliant company and I hope to have the fine opportunity of working together again.

Raphael is nothing but a pure gentleman. I felt completely at ease in his company and we got on so well, which made the experience even more delightful.

I felt right at home, cup of tea in hand and flowing conversation. The atmosphere was extremely relaxed and casual, and went by so quickly as we kept chatting. I would recommend Raph to any model, he's such a useful individual to know and has a smart head on his shoulders and lots of advice for any model on how to keep safe.

Thanks angel!

I can just say - Raphael is an amazing photographer, and his personality is hugely positive...Really kind person, with wonderful sense for a photography...he can catch the detail, which made from almost ordinary photo something unexpected and beautiful...His photography can say and also catch a story, from fairytales to drama, and in his own art can everybody find itself.

I appreciate of this great time and really looking forward to our next photoshoot... Thank you so much again, Raphael! See you soon! :)
