Had my first shoot with Raphael yesterday. Really easy to organise the shoot with clear ideas in mind, and good direction when it was needed. Great communication before and during the shoot, plus easy, friendly conversation. Also offered lots of tea and food which is always nice!

Very polite and respectful with boundaries in modelling etc. Would definitely shoot with you again!

Had another shoot with Raphael back in August :) Unfortunately my reference is a bit late as I went off gallivanting for my wedding and honeymoon and so I'm only just catching up on references for the work I did on the lead up to it - slaps own hand!

Not only was this shoot just as cool as the last, he was also kind enough to put me up AND buy me my favourite Indian curry after the shoot. Winner right haha! No in all seriousness he's a great guy to be around and has a really cool style. I love working with him and would happily recommend him to others! Hope to work with him again in the future :)

Raphael is a attitude photographer with great feel of humor. Really enjoy the process of shooting with him and like the photos a lot. I will always look forward to work with him again and always believe the works with him will be amazing.

Well first of all, I must apologise that I have taken SO long to write this!!!

Raphael truly is a wonderful human being with one of the most beautiful auras I have ever encountered! He is also a fecking brilliant photographer and a great friend.

Raph has the kind of personality that models always wish for before a shoot- he is kind, incredibly easy going, his relaxed demeanour is contagious and makes for a highly productive shoot; add to this his excellent ability to communicate his ideas and concepts for the images he is aiming to get, and you have the recipe for a flawless shoot! (Providing the staff at his day job don't have a meltdown that he isn't there for a day! ;) )

I thoroughly enjoyed working with this fantastic creative! I particularly love the way he uses light to create truly stunning images! Honestly, this guy could photograph a butt plug in a dustbin and still make it look pretty! :)

I plan to shoot with Raphael again and again and again, and would certainly recommend other models do the same. He is easily one of my favourite people to work with, or just generally have a natter with over a coffee.

Truly a gem in the photography world and just an awesome person to have the pleasure of knowing.

Thank you for such a fabulous shoot Raph! Looking forward to working together again soon!

Well, what can I say! Raphael is way too amazing. He is kind, easy-going and absolutely a talented photographer. We shot for four times in total and I really enjoyed the process and I love all the photos that we created together. He always can catch the best moment of you:) Highly recommend him to everyone who wants to work with him. I'm sure no one wants to miss such a great photographer:))

Had an absolutely awesome second shoot with Raph at his, and also stayed a while to work in London. Not only is he a very talented photographer, but he's one of those people you just feel comfortable with and you know is genuine. He was a conscientious and chilled host, and made sure I was comfortable, well fed, and relaxed. This kind of environment always brings out the best in my ability to express myself as a model, and as before I feel he captured some shots up there with my favourite images. Looking forward to next time! Thanks Raph x

I had the chance to work with Raph (on stills this time) on two occasions, yeaterday and the week before that and I must say HE'S MY FAVORITE! He takes very artful photos but the same time he's very respectful of his models. I really love how he sets the mood everytime without it being awkward making it very easy for me as a model to just go with the flow. I'd definitely say if going for bold shoots, he's the guy to look out for 😊😊😊 Will definitely work with him again!!

Had my first shoot with Raphael today and what can I say? Proper gent, polite and friendly, made me feel so at ease as I've been out of modelling for a while, funny guy too so lots of giggling!!

We shot a variety of nude and lingerie as well as some very tame "erotica". Can't wait to see the outcome of the photos, had an absolute blast and a second shoot will definitely happen in the future :)

Thanks again Raphael!!

Had a great shoot with Raph today! He was more than willing to travel to me, which is great considering how long we ended up shooting for! We shot for around half the day to get all we needed for Cosplay Deviants and The Chateau! He was polite and helpful when instructing me with posing and made me extremely comfortable. Seeing just the off the back of the camera shots, I know we got some amazing ones! Can't wait to work with again and definitely recommend :)

I had my 4th shoot with Raph on the weekend. I always enjoy my shoots with Raph, They are relaxed, fun and very creative.

Ralph is very professional, always treats models with the highest respect and is great to have a chat with. We got seriously beautiful photos during our shoot and I'm really looking forward to seeing the results.

As always Highly Recommended!

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
