I had my first shoot with Roo over the weekend, and let me tell you, he's an absolute gem to work with! Roo knew exactly what he wanted to capture and how to nail it, while also being very receptive and welcoming to my input and ideas. Not only is he super creative and talented behind the camera, but he's also just great company. He's got a lovely personality and an awesome sense of humor and always made sure I was feeling comfortable throughout the shoot. Overall a very fun, enjoyable and successful shoot and I can’t wait to see the final results. 100% recommended and I keep my fingers crossed to team up with Roo again very soon!

My first shoot of 2024 was with Roo and I couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off the year! He was an absolute gem, a total professional and super fun to collaborate with. If you want to work with someone who has a great eye for light and shadow, look no further than Roo. We experimented with poses, natural light and mirrors, plus a straight jacket I brought along and finished off with some bodyscapes... I honestly don't think I can pick a favourite set. He also made sure I had snacks and tea and was well fed. By the end of the shoot it felt like I had been hanging out with friend which just shows how much fun it was. He also has a lovely dog you can make friends with too!

I can highly recommend him and would love to work together again sometime.

I had a great first shoot with Roo. :) He was professional and respectful, and very easy to work with. All communication before the shoot was very clear, so I knew what to expect on the day.

He had lots of great ideas for photos, and the pictures looked amazing on the back of the camera.

I'd happily work together again. Highly recommended. :)

I had such a fun shoot with Roo last evening, everything worked out so well. I was really glad Roo suggested to meet briefly for a coffee some time before shoot, I believe it just improved the atmosphere during the actual shoot and it shows on the photos! He had a vision of a story line which was thoroughly researched and laid out on multiple mood boards, which made it extremely easy for me to follow on the day. Roo always wanted to make sure that we were on the same page, explained everything very well and asked for my approval to go ahead. We spoke about what we could use for the shoot and chose some sets in advance.

On the day he offered some refreshments and again recapped on what we will do and how we can start with shooting. Roo has a great sense of humor and gives off professional and laid back vibes, as you can imagine there was a fair amount of banter going on :D He was very kind and respectful of my boundaries and always checking with me if I was okay to go ahead with poses throughout the shoot. He also gives the model space for improvisation, which is always a plus as it allowed me to pose and express myself freely along with replicating poses from mood boards (which I was able to double check at all times via big PC screen or tablet). Afterwards we sat down and briefly looked though images as Roo wanted to make sure I was okay with everything that was captured, if anything needed deleting, etc.

Over all, I’ve had such a great shooting experience. Communication was excellent as well as execution, I would definitely do it again. I will highly recommend Roo to models at any stage of modelling experience.

Of course we had to shoot again with Roo, it has been just too good and is only getting better!

He is a delight to work with, creative, funny and skillful. He is open for ideas and always executes them beautifully. Not to mention he is trustworthy and professional, which makes him a perfect photographer for some more risky ideas!

I don't know what you are waiting for, book yourself a shoot!

Had awesome shoot with Roo today!

He had a clear idea for the shoot and very useful moodboards, which allowed for everything to go smoothly. The location was gorgeous, music taste of the photographer spot on, and the idea allowed me to be spoiled with snacks, what else can you ask for!

Not to mention the execution was beautiful and I absolutely can't wait to see the images after edit!

I had some good laugh, lots of fun, felt welcomed, safe and relaxed throughout. Roo is a not only a creative mind and great photographer but also a lovely company to have. Can't recommend him enough!

Thank you once again and I hope we shoot again some time.
