I had my first shoot with Raf last week and the whole shooting process from the fist communications to the end result was pretty smooth and successful.

He is easy going, creative and collaborative and his use of nudity in a form of art is quite tasteful. He takes time during the shoot to show me the images on a big screen which demonstrates his cares about my input into the shoot. I truly appreciate that.

Overall, highly recommended and I look forward to shoot with him again in the future.

It was my pleasure to work with Raf. He is very professional - from pre-communication to the way the entire photoshoot was organized. Our time together was productive and creative. I truly hope we will work together again and create more art in the future.

Professional, highly skilled, fun to work with - a truly great energy.

Seriously looking forward to seeing the magic that was created, and also for our next shoot!

Highly recommended

Many thanks

Shooting with Raf was a pleasure. His studio was comfortable with a spare changing room, snacks and drinks and a parking space to leave my car. During the shoot, we did some ideas we had previously agreed on doing as well as other projects we developed on the spot. I felt super comfortable and had a genuine good time. Looking forward to shooting again!

I had a shoot with Raf during my Belgium tour 🇧🇪

He is friendly, kind, punctual, professional, respectful, creative and artistic :)

He collected me from the station near his photography studio. We shot many ideas in the time we had and we made a great team :D

I really enjoyed working with Raf to create various styles and sets of beautiful photos. He is very good with his knowledge of studio lighting and camera settings etc.

He also made me some very nice coffee using his coffee machine, which I enjoyed very much.

Not only did we make a great selection of photos, but we also had nice conversations about photography, art and such.

I look forward to seeing our results and I would love to work with him again.

Highly recommended, professional and artistic photographer 🌟

Raf and I worked together for three times in one year and all of those shoots I had a lot of fun! It’s important to feel inspired during the shoot or by someone’s way of photographing you and I definitely have this with Raf every time.

While we are working we take small breaks and evaluate the images together which helps to be on the same page during the shoot and work together in what can be improved.

The communication with him prior to and during the shoot is always good.

I had a pleasant shoot with Raf. Smooth communication in advance and also the shoot went smoothly. As a model, Raf gives you the freedom to flow pose and also gives his own suggestions and ideas. This is how we came up with powerful images. Raf is a professional in what he is doing. He understands and plays with light, contour and compositions. I strongly recommend working with Raf. Looking forward to our future work.

Ralf had great communication and was very very organised. He had one of the best kept studios I have ever seen, There where all the amenities' you would require and it was big airy and warm with snacks and drinks provided. Communication was excellent and we got to view the images as we worked along for each set which was very helpful to see how things are progressing, he even made me a little reel. Ralf is calm and quiet and is helpful with feed back and interaction. He provided a very helpful mood board and description of what he wanted to shoot. Highly recommended and would be very happy to work with Raf again....Carnt wait to see the edited images !!!

Raf is an artist.

He created a mood board to give me an idea of what to bring with me which was much appreciated. The shot went smoothly as we both got super excited about what we were creating and puting 100% in and collaborating on ideas.

The photos looked great on screen and I really can't wait to receive some of them.

The studio itself is really nice and Raf made sure I am warm enough and searved me tea, juice and chocolates.He also gave me a lift to the studio and back to the train station which I'm grateful for.

I recommend shooting with him and would myself love to create some other cracking photos in the future.

Had a great shoot with Raf yesterday, communication went smoothly and Raf picked me up and dropped me off at the nearby train station. It was very clear what was expected of me and Raf prepared a great moodboard for our shoot. The atmosphere was pleasant and not rushed, but with great attention to detail and to achieving the best possible images. I already received a link to all images and they look great! Very recommended!

When you go to Raf for a shoot, quantity doesn't count, but quality does.

Shoot for a few hours and wait a few more weeks, and you will be amazed by the results.

Raf's style stands for elegance and simplicity.

The different ways in which he presents this make him stand out from others.

I would definitely like to do a shoot with him again in the future!

I had the pleasure to collaborate with Raf on two occasions. He is professional, polite, easy going, caring and friendly. I felt so comfortable from the moment we started communicating. Raf has a unique creative way of working. He is open for any input of ideas. He is a photographer who knows his lighting and really creative and fun to work with. From our first collaboration i received beautiful high quality prints. I am very happy with these prints. I highly recommend working or collaborating with him.

Second time working with Raf and I couldn't have been happier to work with him again!

This time, I was both the model and stylist and everything was very smooth, as if we saw each other yesterday.

I appreciate the trust and value Raf gave me throughout our communication and shoot which allowed me to effectively collaborate and contribute for the best results possible.

As always, he is prepared, relaxed and professional. I definitively recommend him and look forward to next time :)

Raf knew exactly what he wanted to achieve. He well ducomented his moodboard with images from my portfolio, personal inspirations and recent work he had been exploring.

The shoot went smoothly. The picking up and driving me back to my place in Antwerp was much appreciated. The same day I received some preview images of the shoot. They were lovely.

Till next time!
