Summers Abroad

We have had the pleasure of hosting Ravi on 2 of our abroad events now - Nevada in October and most recently Italy in June.

Ravi is an absolute dream to have on the events - he is so approachable and friendly, and really the life and soul of any party haha!! Which makes the downtimes super fun and he brings so much to the group dynamic!

He is also an absolutely incredible photographer!! I mean WOW the photos he has taken on both events have been mind blowing!!

Without a shadow of a doubt recommended by us and look forward to hosting him on his first UK event with us next month :D

When Ravi wanted to work with me, I felt so blessed. I knew for a long time how beautiful his work was, and that I'd be honoured to be photographed by him so when it actually happened it felt a little like a dream. Pre comms were amazing and he established a mood board of ideas. On the day he arrived early, and was friendly and welcoming. We worked through several sets prioritizing fashion, and some lingerie and the photos he took were stunning. Despite the fact I had completely lost my voice, we worked very well together and I cant wait to see the images.

Highly highly recommend.

Ravi attended his second trip with us here at Wanderlust just recently in the beautiful country of Sicily.

Unfortunatley there was an accident on the trip, which left us a model short. However, Ravi is an incredibly passionate, empathetic and understanding person, who gave genourous amounts of patience and assistance throughout.

Ravi is a credible member of any trip and is always a delight to be around and takes fantastic images of the models. All the models enjoyed his presence and i hope to see Ravi again at some point in the future.

all the best,

Wanderlust

Had my very first shoot with Ravi and it's been a wonderful experience from the pre shoot communication through to the post production. Besides being a great photographer and editor, Shooting with him is relaxing and super fun. He is considerate and respectful.

I'm super happy with the images we created and looking forward to see the final results.

would love to shoot with him again. Highly recommended!

I loved working with Ravi again in the studio. He was chill, fun, relaxed & cool to work with again. I’m glad we could fit it in during both our busy schedules. I liked his mood board & ideas. Happy he liked bts being taken & I felt comfortable trying poses I haven’t done much of before like exploring angles or difficult to hold positions. The boudoir & art nude was great. He gave nice comments throughout the shooting & I’d recommend him to others as well as work with him again in future. Thanks so much, kindest regards & all the best.

I had a wonderful short shoot with Ravi during a recent trip to Chamonix, France where our paths crossed. Ravi is such a warm character and has such a fantataic eye for photography, happily throwing himself into the snow to get that perfect shot. During the time I was with him he was always happy to pick up his camera at a models request, often running straight out without thinking to wrap himself up!

Ravi's photography is simply wonderful. He clearly knows what he's doing and has fun doing it, capturing beautiful images along the way. His personality is infectious and he always has a smile on his face.

I love working with Ravi and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to fellow creatives, you won't be disappointed!

Thankyou for another wonderful shoot!

I have just spent an amazing time in the Alps on a photo shoot with. Ravi and I can only say he is an amazing photographer and a true and genuine person. He shared tips and tricks with me and was so helpful in sharing his knowledge. His photography is outstanding and, if I was a model, which I am most definitely NOT, I would work with him. Good to meet you Ravi and I hope our paths cross again..

Ravi attended our first photographic holiday to Chamonix this April. I have met Ravi before and throughly enjoyed the shoot with him, so i felt very lucky to have him on board.

Ravi is so full of life and energy. He was one of the most active photographers on the trip! He has a super likable personailty and everyone enjoyed his company. He was well prepared with lighting equipment and has the speed and tech to shoot in almost any environment. Ravi is excelling at incredible rate, and eh was even kind enough to share some of the things he had learnt with other photographers on the trip .

One photographer in particular was super impressed with what Ravi had taught him and was incrdibly grateful that they had met.

Skiing... oh yeh , he got straight out there and tried it. I have to admit i loved watching him and all the others falling around in the snow. I guess it was nice to give Ravi a challenge also haha!!! It was so fun.

I am so grateful to have met Ravi, and after spending 10 days in his company, i still adore everything about him. He is an absolute credit to those who get to meet him and share in his Art .

Speaking for myself and all the other poeple on the trip, Ravi comes highly recommended !!!!!

I had a lovely time meeting and working with Ravi today. He's a lovely person, really chatty, and friendly, and very kind and considerate towards the Model. Ravi experimented with different lighting to create some fabulous high Fashion looks, Ravi had his laptop so I could get a good look at the Shots throughout the Shoot. I loved the looks we created together so much. I'd have no issue recommending Ravi to other Models, and hope we get to work together again sometime.

Finally got the opportunity to work with the wonderful Ravi during my recent London Tour.

Prior to shooting pre-communication was great and everything was super easy to plan and organise. On the day of shooting Ravi very kindly met me at the train station and we walked to the studio together. Ravi was just so accommodating and kindly provided water and snacks. Very kind of him to think of a models well being.

We had a good chat as I did hair and makeup, then we started shooting. Ravi was shooting Tethered which was super helpful to see all of the results so I knew what to improve upon during the shoot. Ravi ran around setting up all sorts of fabulous backdrops for us and even provided some accessories and props too. There was the perfect balance between my posing and Ravi’s direction and everything just flowed so so well. We had such a blast shooting together.

Ravi has already kindly sent some edits and I am just so so pleased with the results!! Ravi is not only a talented photographer but a very talented and highly skilled retoucher too.

Ravi is kind, professional, friendly and creative. 110% recommended!!

I had my first ever studio shoot with Ravi in Stratford Studios. We shot range of styles from fashion, colour pop, fierce fashion and lingerie.

I always enjoy shooting with Ravi and he is such an excellent photographer, his work is beyong expectations. Shooting with Rai previously really helped, we know how eachother works and how to communicate.

He kindly met me at the station and made sure I was always hydrated, keeping care of the models wellbeing is important. He is enthusiastic about shooting and this is one thing I enjoy about working with Ravi.

He guided me when needed, helping me understanding the importance of capturing those moving shots and showing emotion

I really cannot wait to see the final results and edited images and work with you again in the future!

Had one of my favourite shoots so far with the incredible Ravi.

Contacted him to ask if he would shoot and had a few ideas and he helped me capture everything I wanted and more, communicating was brilliant and on the day Ravi sent over details on travel and how to get to the studio and met me at the station to help with bags and walking back to the studio.

The shoot was so much fun and Ravi gave me amazing guidance and tips that I will definitely carry with me onto future shoots, he let me be myself and encouraged me the whole way through to enjoy every second which I certainly did. He also had brilliant music playing throughout which definitely helped!

Was so happy with the images before edits so can only imagine how they’re all going to look after.

He knows his stuff and helped me achieve all that I wanted to. highly, highly recommend and hope it’s the first of many shoots together.

Thanks Ravi :) x

Ravi, Ravi, Ravi... wow, oh wow! This gentleman is one the finest people you'll ever have the pleasure of coming into contact with and the fact he's an amazing photographer is just the icing on the cake!

Ravi took part in the Kink Event Weekend organised by myself, Caitlyn J & J Black Photographic and from intitial contact through to waving goodbye it was an absolute pleasure. His pre shoot communications are phenomenal, by far some of the very best on PurplePort. Ravi shared a mood board of ideas ahead of time so we could get an understanding of what he wanted to achieve. During the shoot itself, he was prepared to literally do anything for that shot - including getting inside the Dungeons cage and balancing on a step stool on top of a table!

Working with Ravi is always a blast, he's got so much energy and enthusiasm for photography and it's infectious, making it impossible not to feel giddy with excitement as well. He's a very confident photographer and captures stunning images every single time! He adjusts his settings with ease and spoke with John about lighting changes whenever appropriate.

I felt at ease in Ravi's presence from the get go, and honestly couldn't recommend him enough to other creatives - he's polite, professional, respectful and friendly.

The back of camera shots looked amazing and I can't wait to see some of the edits appear!

Thankyou for another wonderful shoot!

Ravi is an absolutely phenomenal photographer and one that will do anything to get that perfect shot. I had the pleasure of meeting and working alongside him during the Kink Event Weekend hosted by Caitlyn, Angel and myself where I was offering lighting support for the event. He arrived on time and raring to go, so we soon jumped into it.

Ravi didn't hesitate to explore all areas of the Dungeon and got up and down to get unique shots, having a real grasp of the genre early on.

He worked well with the models and offering lighting suggestions throughout, trying different colours in different areas of the Dungeon to create a totally different atmosphere.

The back of camera shots looked epic and his edits are truly breathtaking - he really understood the D/s dynamic and has shown it in such a beautiful light.

I'd highly recommend this marvelous man to anyone and look forward to our paths crossing again!

I shot with Ravi yesterday.

He is super positive and relaxed during the shoot, has a great playlist and brings props you can play with which is great. We had a laptop connected to the camera so we can quickly check what we shot - I find this extremely helpful

He's also a total gentleman; he collected me from the station and brought me back to the station after the shoot, helping me with my luggage and making sure I catch the right train.

For me it was a great shoot and I am really looking forward to see the final photos.

Hoping to work together again in the near future.

I had the most incredible time shooting with Ravi yesterday at Stratford workshop studios.

What a dream team! I absolutely love the shots on the back of the camera and I can’t wait to see the final edits. I’m so grateful to have had the chance to work together.

Ravi is not only an incredibly talented photographer he is also such a sweetie. He made me feel comfortable from the moment we met. He helped me carry my suitcase from the station and even went to Starbucks to get me a cappuccino while I was getting ready!

Ravi has loads of creative ideas and knew exactly what he wanted from our shoot which was amazing. He gave clear instructions and showed me the images in between sets. Ravi also has an amazing collection of clothes and accessories to wear.

I had so much fun on shoot with Ravi, Can’t wait for our next shoot together.❤️❤️

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ravindra in London, and I cannot recommend him enough. From the very beginning, our pre-shoot communication was excellent - clear and friendly.

On the day of the shoot, he arrived ahead of time, which allowed me to set up and start on time. It was a nice touch that he brought along extra accessories that we ended up using during the shoot.

One thing that was really great to me was that his camera was connected directly to a laptop, which made it easy for us to immediately correct poses and review the shots. This level of collaboration and efficiency made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable.

Throughout the shoot, the photographer struck the perfect balance between allowing me to pose freely and providing direction for specific details. His guidance was invaluable in capturing the best shots possible.

Also he was really quick at delivering final edits which I loved :)

I am genuinely looking forward to working with him again in the future. If you're a model looking for a talented and friendly photographer in London, I highly recommend him

What a magnificent studio shoot with Ravi!! I'm still not quite over it!!

What a guy and what a shoot!!!

I am sat here looking at a wealth of stunning images that have been kindly sent to me by this incredible creative and I am just in awe of what we created together!!

Firstly, it would be doing Ravi a huge dis-service to not mention how much of an absolute gentleman he is. He met me at my car and helped me park (which was a pretty stressful moment for me) and helped me carry some of my bags, something I was truly grateful for - who said chivalry is dead!!??!!

Then, after immediately putting me at ease we dived straight into one of the most enjoyable and creative shoots I have done!! The results are stunning, exactly what we set out to achieve and a hugely welcome edition to my portfolio and I cannot wait to start posting up our work together!!

A lovely man who was nothing but warm and respectful, kind, caring and an absolute joy to be around!! I could work with Ravi over and over and I am eagerly anticipating our next shoot because honestly you won't find many better photographers to work with!!!

Comes with the biggest seal of approval from me!!

Thank you Ravi for a truly memorable experience,

Daniella xx
