Great duo shoot with Ray yesterday and my good photographer friend JS Photos.

I’ve shot with Ray multiple times now and this shoot was long awaited.

Pre comms were great, We had a clear shoot plan and even ran out of time to do everything we wanted to shoot. We also threw on a few crazy ideas there and then.

Ray kindly must of read my mind and brought me my fave dark chocolate florentine as a little treat, Which went down well with a cuppa :) Thank you much appreciated.

I would work with Ray again and it’s a big recommend from me.

Until next time Jade :)

I just came home from an amazing shoot where I worked with Ray and his friend John.

Ray was so lovely to pick me up from the train station; you can only feel comfortable having this gentleman around. Ray has an outstanding personality and we literally got lost in good and fun talks. I think this highly contributed to the images we created. No matter if it came to portraits, nude art or fashion Ray always managed to get those very special shots which really tell a story. He is amazing when it comes to capturing THE right moment. I also liked how great we all worked as a team; he always showed me and John the images on the back of the camera and asked what we think. My opinion: A great photographer with an amazing eye for the situation.

I can only highly recommend this photographer.

Thank you so much for working with me,

Some things are definately worth the wait!

That was my evening working with Ray at a camera club event organized by Fstopper .

Ray and I have been following each other's work now for sometime so to finally meet the man himself and create some photographic magic was a huge bonus.

Ray is an absolute gent to work with and thoroughly nice fella!

He knew exactly what he wanted to capture and with his love all that is gangster he nailed it in his first set.

From what I could see at the back of the camera we captured some pure delights!

If you have not yet worked with Ray make sure you do you will walk away with gold!

Thank you Ray for a brilliant shoot we need to get another date in the calendar! looking forward so seeing the final edits .

Ray was my second shoot of the day. We shot back in January so this was our second shoot. This time was a location bluebell shoot which I was really looking forward too. As previous Ray's pre-comms were faultless and he was specific on what he wanted to achieve. Ray picked me up from my home exactly on time and drove to our location. As we walked through in between fields we were greeted by horses on either side and they all came galloping upto the fence,well we couldn't let an opportunity like this slip by and Ray got his camera out and took some wonderful shots. We then proceeded into the woods where the bluebells were and they were beautiful. We did have to watch out as there were people out walking which made it a little challenging haha but Ray and I handled it very well. After we finished in that location I suggested to Ray another location which he was more than happy to drive too. There we shot a mixture of styles and again it was a bit challenging as there was quite a few people out and about. Ray is a lovely guy, he is very respectful towards his model and this is why I love shooting with him, so needless to say shoot three is on the cards. Thanks again Ray for a fab shoot and I can recommend to new and experienced models 😊

So yesterday after long awated 3 years Ray and I finally shot. We had been exchanging messages on and off since then. Ray managed to give me a date and from there we bounced ideas on what we wanted to achieve. Rays pre-comms were fantastic always replying promptly and clear. So we decided on a 3 hour shoot. So time was of importance before the natural light faded. I had told Ray I bought a beautiful light summer wedding dress and he was up for this. Ray captured some beautiful images in various areas of my home. Then I popped on lingerie and again there was some beautiful images captured. Ray kindly showed me on back of camera what he captured and I was very happy in what I saw.

Throughout the shoot Ray was an absolute gentleman giving me privacy to change and I felt totally comfortable with him. We just chatted away and he mentioned that I was his oldest model he has worked with and how he has admired my work for a long time which was a lovely compliment. So needless to say there's a second shoot on the cards which I'll be looking forward to doing with him. All in all a very productive and enjoyable shoot and I'm very pleased to say I can recommend Ray to experienced and new models.

I shot with Ray for the first time at his home studio.

I had a great shoot with Ray. He was very professional and also very down to earth, with a great sense of humor.

Pre communications were spot on, with full details of the shoot.

We shot a variety of sets, ranging from fashion and portrait with so many outfit changes.

The images we produced looks cool from what I already have seen.

I would highly recommend Ray. I hope to work with him again soon.

Thank you,

I had a great second shoot with Ray. It was an outdoor shoot and although the weather didn’t play ball, it didn’t hamper our spirits.

He had a clear plan in place which is great for planning, and pre shoot comms were great.

He’s professional and our chats make me feel a ease. Lots of boc shots along the way too. Thanks again for a great shoot and I look forward to the next one.
