The Girl with Curves

Ryu is a really talented photographer, who makes you feel completely at ease.

I'm new to modeling, but he made me feel comfortable and we worked on ideas we both had. He's easy to talk to during a shoot and I have loved the images we have come up with on all occasions.

Looking forward to the next one!

Had a great shoot with meaningoflife. Pre shoot communications were great. Things seemed to be conspiring against us on the day when he had problems with both his main and back up camera! (Here's me just impressed he had a back up camera!) However after taking some time to figure things out, we still managed to shoot and we still got some great images even though he was using an unfamiliar camera! He had some great ideas, even if he did ask me to get into some positions I swear my body isn't supposed to haha! Good images are worth it though right? We had good fun shooting and chatting away. He's very friendly and polite and very much a perfectionist with his studio set ups. He didn't even judge me for the faces I pulled trying to bend my limbs in unhuman ways though I wasn't quite as forgiving with his pose demonstrations. Definitely recommended!

This was my first ever photoshoot, so of course I was nervous and didn't know how to approach it at first but the meaningoflife was such a help! Not only did he listen to my initial idea and help add to it, but he also made my vision come true and was the perfect director along the way as he was fully prepared with image ideas and knew the perfect poses and angles along the way.

He is an amazing guy and even bought props, as well as let me use his back garden for the shoot itself and then gave me a lift home! Overall he is a genuine person and without his help, none of this would have been possible! The shots we got were amazing thanks to his skills and I 10000% recommend him! He has given my portfolio such a nice addition, and I truly cannot thank him enough for his hospitality and willingness to help me out with an amazing photoshoot. I hope I get the honour to shoot with him again in future!

The Powder Rooms Studio

Was more than happy to welcome 'Meaningoflife' into the Studio again when I heard he was looking to do some work with gels. A really great guy with such a calm manner and some fabulous ideas. Can't wait to see some more of the results

I worked with meaningoflife photography for the first time last week at the asylum event in Liverpool.

He is such a nice guy and easy to get along with. He was very good with communication, discussion and listening to my ideas. He loved some of my ideas so we used it in the shoot. The images so far have come out great he helped with my transport and even gave me a lift to the station and asked if I got home safe. I would 100% recommend him.

The Powder Rooms Studio

Met Ryan when he came down to a shoot at The Powder Rooms Studio yesterday afternoon.

Really nice, friendly guy and knows exactly what he wants to achieve with his lighting set ups. Would recommend him as photographer and look forward to seeing him at the Studio again.

We met at the Woolton Hall shoot. Absolutely loved working with him. Understood what direction I'm hoping to go in and also gave me some great advice and tips. Has a lot of knowledge to share, made me feel relaxed and at ease during the shoot. Really looking forward to seeing our shots! Thanks again!

I had my first ever group shoot with this lovely guy and let's just say it was fantastic not only was he 100% professional while on site but a really great guy to have a conversation with and shoot with! The day was more than enjoyable and I am extremely happy with the results from the day I cannot wait to see more of the other images edited but let's just say the ones that we have already are phenomenal !!! I would definitely recommend and would love to work with him again myself in the near future !!

So I had a photoshoot with Ryan two times last week. He's an amazing, friendly and polite guy, also really fun to work with.

He knows how to make a model feel comfortable and get the best images even in the freezing weather conditions.

Ryan isn't just a great natural photographer, he has an impressive personality as well.

I would highly recommend him to everyone who wants to achieve great results and have fun while shooting. Thank you again and hopefully will work with you in the future.

Whilst I was on tour in Liverpool we shot together! Despite the FREEZING TEMPERATURES MY GOD IT WAS SO FING COLD. He is lovely person who is really passionate about his craft, we shot a mixture of the hotel room, around Liverpool and some beautiful touristy snaps of me and the Beatles or was it Oasis?

Cannot wait to see some of these beauties! Recommend

Great shoot yesterday, arrived on time with ideas we had played with over messages. Absolutely love the images and they aren't even edited yet! Excited to see what we can achieve together with these images and hopefully in future shoots. Reccomend highly

Ryan turned up at my house on time armed with reflectors, ladders, and a couple of lights (for when it went dark).

The communications was good before hand, so I knew which outfits/accessories were needed. He found some interesting spots of our garden to use, and found some good natural light. I am very pleased with the pictures he's produced, and I would love to work with him again when it's a bit warmer!

Had a quick shoot on Tuesday evening, It was very relaxed and a fun shooting experience. Respectful throughout . Thank you Amelia x
