Raki : this guy practically defines male style!! I had wanted to shoot with Raki for some time, after admiring his male fashion work. But nothing can quite prepare you for actually meeting Raki - and his wardrobe :-)

A total joy to work with - lovely guy, effortless posing, full of great ideas, patient whilst I messed around, great pre-shoot communications, and that dress sense that puts me to shame!

Would I recommend Raki? You bet! I'd jump at another change to shoot :-) Many thanks.

Had a shoot with Raki on a sunny Saturday, He sorted out some of his may outfits and went through his amazing collection of shoes!

He's very creative and takes direction well, he also had lots of ideas of his own and is willing to do all he can to help create the perfect image.

After the shoot Raki made us the most delicious nibbles! will be shooting again :)

I was very lucky to work as a shadow photographer with Black Olive to shoot this amazingly talented, creative model. Such a natural, stunning wardrobe, constant creative ideas. I stayed back and only grabbed shots, even so was an absolute pleasure to spend the day shooting with.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to witness such a professional.

I had the absolute privilege and honour to work with mighty Raki recently - the focus was fashion - this is Raki's thing! .... and it is a thing that he does oh so very well!

I found Raki to be an absolute joy to work with - overflowing with enthusiasm, ideas and no nonsense poses. We spent the best part of a day together, first part was in a nature reserve and the second was around Stony Stratford. Raki is not shy and he proved this when he pounced (not literally) on two dogs, asking their owners very politely whether he could borrow them for our shoot for a few minutes - we got some seriously awesome stuff!

he's possibly he most considerate and polite person I've met too!

I wholeheartedly, and with no reservations, recommend Raki! until next time! :)

Had the pleasure to work with Raki in Birmingham on a shoot we had planned for a while :). Raki has a great sense of fashion and poses effortlessly for the camera assuring that you get great images. He had also brilliant ideas :). Highly recommended and looking forward to do more work with him.

I just love Raki. This was my third shoot with him and several other models, another tog and a Cadillac in the middle of freezing cold Birmingham.

As usual Raki throw himself into the shoot with excellent pre-comms and loads of ideas and themes for the shoot. His outfits are always striking and different and he is just such a lovely guy to be around.

Raki is one of the most creative and enthusiastic male models I've worked with and will work over and over again. He is a great laugh but also very professional when it comes to modelling. He is very considered when working with others and always offering to help no matter what.

An absolute 'Must' to work with, great looks, great character and an absolute gem. Thanks for a great shoot and for being so awesome! :) x

I've loaned my car out to Raki on a couple of occasions. Raki always comes armed with plenty of outfits, energy and ideas. Great stuff, would recommend.

Rakibul is one of the nicest person you would meet. He drove a long way to work with me and Isabelle for whom he bought little bunny chocolates (easiest way to bribe a child). He was very professional and tried his hardest to get the best shot from the endless amounts of ideas he has. It was an absolute pleasure to meet and shoot with him. He has such a great sense of style and fashion that he should double as a fashion stylist I think he would be awesome at that too. Hope to work with him again in the future.

I had my second shoot with Raki last weekend, and I'm pleased to say we had an even better shoot this time round.

Raki is always fully prepared and full of awesome ideas and gives his all regardless of what you're shooting.

I don't think I've ever met such a polite and considerate person in Raki... always a pleasure to work with.

Highly Recommended

Had my second shoot with Raki over a week ago. He came all the way from Birmingham and even brought his own MUA with him to a joint shoot with Tony Brown and myself.

Raki is just great fun to work with, lots of ideas which he will share prior to the shoot and discuss with anybody involved. He always brings tonnes of outfits and lots of enthusiasm. Full of energy, hard working, bubbly and pure fun. Raki is an absolute lovable guy and great model. Absolutely enjoyed the shoot and very pleased with the images. Mega highly recommended. Thanks for an awesome shoot :) xx

What an awesome guy!

I had a wonderful shoot with Raki over the weekend. I was blown away by just how creative he is. Bouncing ideas around was a pure joy.

Not only does Raki nail every pose, he has also got an amazing eye for detail and works extremely hard to make sure you're getting the image you want.

Loved working with this guy, and hope to do it again. Highly recommend

I had the pleasure of working with Raki back in Sept.

Communication with Raki was excellent, with regular updates leading up to the shoot.

Ive NEVER worked with such an enthusiastic male model before, with plenty of outfits and incredibly fast changes, working with Raki was a breath of fresh air.

He's polite, intelligent and fun to be around. Thanks dude !

Looking forward to shooting again next year.

Had a fantastic shoot with Raki two weeks ago. He came all the way down to Weston and was still full of enthusiasm after train delays and extended journey.

Raki is full of energy and an absolute pleasure to work with. He had more outfits in his suitcase then I could fit in my car :). Raki's pre-communication was excellent, he came with lots of ideas and I just had to hit the shutter button. Raki is extremely versatile, hard working and a good laugh. Time just flew by and we almost missed his train back.

Top model to work with and very highly recommended. One of the best models I have worked with so far. Thanks for a great shot and some awesome images. :)

I shot Raki at the UK Bodypaint League Twisted Fairytale meeting. It was a very short shoot (as I had to leave early) but Raki seemed very professional and didn't need any direction. Recommended!

Well..... What can I say?? Raki is one of the most genuine, fun, professional, zany and down right fantastic people to work with...

We had so much fun on our shoot, full of laughter and fun! Full to the brim with ideas and concepts.. and has the most amazing wardrobe! If you have a chance to shoot with guy DO IT!!! He is an absolute pleasure to work with and you are guaranteed to have a smile filled day with amazing images at the end of it!! Seriously... 10/10 for this guy!!

Raki is one of the most hardworking, dedicated, talented and polite models I have worked with. He put so much into our shoot, both in preparation beforehand and during the shoot. The results really show it!

He brought along some superb outfits with him in various styles which meant there was a good variety of themes. Raki certainly knows how to dress in style and really looks the part !

Raki travelled from Birmingham to shoot with me in Bristol and we shot from 11 AM to 6 PM with only a short break for food midway. I am impressed with Raki in all aspects of his modelling and he deserves great success. I hope I get the chance to shoot with him again.

I would certainly recommend Raki. Photographers: If Raki contacts you about shooting then you should grab the chance to photograph this superb model.

Thanks Raki !
