Ray is a fabulous photographer to work with for many reasons, one of which is his creativity. His pre shoot communications are always excellent and he explains his vision clearly as well as outfit suggestions which are always super helpful. Pair his amazing communication ability with his creativity and you're onto a winner.

We've worked together many times now and each and every shoot is magical. This most recent shoot was a duo with Antonia Jay and from start to finish he was super accommodating. His first idea was using disco style lights and he provided tonnes of them! He's very open to ideas and listened whenever I had any but was equally happy to make decisions.

We captured some fabulous images and worked seamlessly together to get them. He was, as usual, polite, professional and super easy to chat to.

The images looked epic and I look forward to seeing his edits! 100% recommended.

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

I worked with Ray again during a Summers Abroad event in a manor house and again it was an absolute joy. Having already worked with Ray previously I knew it would be great fun and I certainly wasn't wrong. During the shoot Ray worked hard to get unique shots and really worked with the surroundings. He was polite and professional and we chatted away happily. Definitely recommend from me!

Thanks for an epic shoot!

Ray booked me during my tour to London and his pre shoot communications were great, responding well to my questions and then providing me with some styling options.

He arrived on time and was ready to go - he was ever so accommodating of my late coach and happily stayed longer than planned. After a brief catch up we jumped straight into it. He was polite, professional and friendly and we worked our way around the various set possibilities in the property and worked together to get great shots. Ray was respectful of me at all times and I felt very comfortable working with him.

He's got a great eye for photography which is clear to see in his stunning images and he took time to play with polarioids. He was super easy to work with and he was open to my ideas too.

I'd happily recommend Ray and look forward to shooting with him again. Highly recommend!

Thankyou for an amazing shoot!

This was my second shoot with Ray, and just like the first it went incredibly well with some amazing images coming out of it!

His pre shoot communications were great, he expressed his ideas well and then when he arrived he was well prepared for the shoot. We focused on art nude work most of the time and Ray was incredibly polite and professional and made me feel incredibly comfortable the entire time.

He has great attention to detail and from the start to finish of the shoot conversation didn't stop flowing.

The back of camera shots were fantastic and the edits I've seen so far are outstanding. It is a real pleasure to work with Ray and I absolutely hope to do so in the future.

Thankyou for a great shoot, highly recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Ray during my London Tour, as part of a duo shoot with AshleyAshton222 and it was such a blast!

His pre shoot communications were excellent, he explained himself well over messages and then during the shoot itself he was so fantastic to work with.

Ray has such a relaxed manner and the images on the back of the camera were ace, the edited images I've seen since then are breathtaking, truly gorgeous.

Ray's versatility was obvious to see, he was able to adapt as the shoot went by and we genuinely captured some of tbe very best duo shots I've seen of us.

He was polite and professional throughout the shoot and conversation easily flowed, he is an incredibly talented photographer and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future.

Thankyou for a truly awesome shoot, I definitely hope to see you soon!

1000% recommended!

Ray shot me and Angel as part of a duo weekend in potters bar.

Ray was very down to earth and came with a refreshing approach to the shoot, angel and myself were very tired , as i believe it was one of our last shoots.

Nonetheless , likely one of the best shoots of the whole event and love the image he selected.

smashing guy , definitely recommended by me .

Great second shoot with Ray! We spent a day outdoors during one of the hot recent days here in the UK. Ray’s location was covered in shade though, so perfect planning on his side!

I really enjoyed our shoot together. Being around Ray makes me feel very creative and innovative with my posing. I adore the photos we created, they are very artistic, strong and with a beautiful feel to them.

Thank you so much for this day!

I worked with Ray recently as a response to a casting call I put out. I worked outside with Ray, he chose a really beautiful location for us to work in. Pre comms were perfect, and he was well prepared for our shoot with plenty of clothes and fabric to use. It's rare for me to be comfortable shooting nudes outside, but I felt completely comfortable and thrilled with the results.

Highly recommend to any model!

Tania Aresti

Had a wonderful second shoot with RayRapkerg at a wood location.

The wood location he chose to shoot at was beautiful and it was a pleasure to shoot at. Not only that but he was well prepared and he knew the location very well and took me to some very private spots where we could shoot nudes with ease and without being disturbed.

He was 100% professional, friendly and we had a great chat whilst we shot.

His work is very artistic and the photos that were created look great.

I would highly recommend working with him and I would love to shoot with him again.

Summers Abroad

Ray joined us for the first time for a full weekend on our latest UK event ‘Artistic Licence’. There were multiple sets running across the weekend all based on reinvention of famous artwork, from high fashion to quirky beauty sets and lots of majestic and painterly styling, we created our own modern takes on the classics!

Ray is an absolutely incredible photographer - like wow!! His images I have seen already from the event are mind blowing!! He is also super laid back and friendly which just adds to the relaxed but creative atmosphere.

Ray was honestly a total pleasure to host for the weekend, not only is he a great photographer but he is great company too. He fit into the group really well and was really chatty and sociable in the downtime between shoots. We’d absolutely love to host him again in future (and hopefully abroad at some point too!)

Highly recommended!!

Everything was perfect. I really enjoyed our first shoot. Ray is friendly, professional and has some cool ideas. He knows what he’s looking for and has a concrete idea prior to the shoot. I’m looking forward to working with him again!

Tania Aresti

Had a wonderful shoot with Rayrapkerg at my home studio as part of a duo with Aurora Phoenix.

He came prepared with a specific idea he wanted to shoot and we had a great chat whilst we shot.

He was chilled, friendly and easy to shoot with.

He was 100% professional and i felt comfortable around him at all times.

I would highly recommend & i'd love to shoot with him again.

Aurora Phoenix

Had such an incredible edgy duo shoot with Rayrapkerg and Tania Aresti model at her Home Studio in London.

Ray arrived prompt and ready to shoot with lots of kit and a lovely book of art. The three of us got on really well and Ray is really easy to talk to and work with. He showed us ideas for inspiration and the sort of images that we were looking to create which really helped. We aimed on doing something wacky, unusual and different which I loved.

We explored a variety of different themes and concepts some of the themes were sort of Renaissance style and others were abstract. I love how willing to accept ideas ray was and how he was willing to try out new things as well. He’s also really good at directing and letting models know the sort of theme, atmosphere and mood he’s looking for in photos.

I saw some images on his page and me and Tania are really pleased with the results.

110% recommended!! Can’t thank him enough for such a lovely shoot!

I had my first shoot with Ray and I was really pleased. Precomms were great, and he gave directions well. We worked in small space, which wasn’t ideal but we both managed to work around it and get the best shots we could! Ray is artistic and has some interesting ideas. I look forward to working with him again in the future! Definitely recommend:)

Today I had a lovely shoot with Ray during my studio day at Cottage Studio. Ray was on time with great pre comms and some really creatuve ideas. We shot a mixture of digital and polaroid and Ray gave great direction for each set.

A talented and creative photographer who is very easy to work with

Highly recommended from me! X

It had been 6 years since I last worked with Ray, so I was chuffed when he emailed me to book me on my most recent tour!

You wouldn't of thought it had been as long as it had, I instantly felt comfortable with him from the moment he arrived and we were chatting like old friends! Ray is so much fun to work with :) He is super friendly and really chatty, and he has a great sense of humour too, all things that make for an awesome atmosphere and ultimately a great creative atmosphere with better results too :D

On top of that Ray is such an EPIC photographer. I love working with people who truly collaborate with their models and are get really creative with the sets, and that is exactly what it's like working with Ray! I love his style and really enjoy working with him :)

I really can't recommend him highly enough, and hope we don't leave it as long next time! Hopefully catch him on my next visit to the area if not before, and maybe even on a Summer Abroad trip in future :D!

I have quite a few shoots through the years with Ray, and once again I repeat it was a wonderful afternoon!

Ray is great to work with as he focuses on a true artistic direction, so often each shoot is unique with wonderful results!

Ray is very easy to work with, great to chat to and an all round professional.

Worked with Ray for the first time at the Hacienda last week and well Ray opened my eyes to another side of photography .

My shoot with ray was very different to my usual everyday shoot . Ray bought along some old camera as well as Polaroid camera . Ray is a real delight to work with , I really enjoyed doing something different and found it interesting . We focused on simple poses but the camera brough them to life .

Ray is just wonderful and a really interesting person to work with . He is so cretative and just brings something different to the shoot .

Thanks Jess x

I worked with Ray for a short time at The Hacienda in preparation for a project we are doing.

I've previously worked with Ray on a Wales weekend where he took some fantastic shots of me jumping.

Ray is really lovely, easy going, chatty and a talented photographer. I really enjoy the fact that ray has a love for film and polaroids!

Highly recommended
