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,

Jasmine

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.

I have a wonderful shoot with Ray. We are local to each other and he offered to pick me up for our location shoot which was much appreciated.

Pre shoot comms we’re great, he sent me a mood board and we talked about what clothing suits best.

Ray has a nice relaxed approach to shooting which put me at ease. He’s a really nice which made the shoot a pleasure and time flew by.

I would definitely recommend him and I can’t wait to shoot again.

What a lucky lady getting to write Rays first reference. I got to work with Ray at a workshop where I was the model. Ray was enthusiastic, very keen to learn and a total gent.

I liked the way Ray was consistent in showing me the shots from the back of the camera and making sure I was comfortable.

I would recommend working with Ray as he gets more used to working with models.
