Yet another fabulous photoshoot with Ray. This time I had a Fitness photoshoot and Ray had some really good ideas and brought along some props that I could use. As usual, he produced some amazing images.

Had my second photoshoot with Ray. The photoshoot was both indoors and outdoors. This was the first time I did a photoshoot with Ray outside and as usual he was very good in providing me with guidance on posing. He knew exactly what to do to make the images look amazing taking into account the colour of my outfit and then choosing the best place to take the photos.

I highly recommend Ray to any model. He is a very professional and friendly person and easy to work with.

Ray was helpful from day one. He communicated with me on a regular basis and I was able to tell him exactly what I wanted from the photoshoot. I made Ray aware that this was the second time I had done any modelling and he took this on board and guided me throughout the photoshoot. My confidence grew as time went on as Ray made me feel really comfortable and I could understand and follow his instructions easily. I really enjoyed the photoshoot and I have got some amazing photos. Ray is a very friendly, helpful, patient and approachable person I would definitely recommend him.

Ray is very professional photographer with lots of experience I shot with Ray many times including going to a group of shoot in Dorking and Felbridge with Lawrence Homewood , yesterday we had beautiful day at Dorking farm house with lovely swimming pool and lots of lovely little locations we had lots of generous food and drinks and we we went for swim as it was a very hot beautiful summer day . I really enjoyed the shoot and the company with lots of models and photographers and some of Rays family whom were very lovely and chatty. I would like to recommend Ray and his group of shoot to any model or photographers and also we are going to arrange a Halloween shoot in October at Churstons in Felbridge.

I attended a small group fashion shoot organised by Ray recently. It was well organised, pre-shoot communications were good and the event was enjoyed by all the models and photographers. Well done Ray.

Lawrence Homewood

Ray and myself organised a small group photoshoot at studio churstons. We had a great selection of models and photographers on the day and all the models went away with some amazing photos. we only organise a few of these photoshoots a year and spaces are limited on a first come first basis. the aim is for models and togs to work on a one to one basis or in very small group. I have to say this photoshoot was the best and we all got some amazing images.

Had a great time at my first group shoot organised by Ray. It was a really fun day and I thoroughly enjoyed the theme. I’m very happy with the images Ray has done and I won’t hesitate to add myself to his solo shoot waiting list.

I have worked with Ray many times both solo and at several of the group shoots he has organised. We recently shot in Ashdown forest on a group shoot with other photographers and models. I really enjoyed shooting together after such a long time and and I am looking forward to another shoot in the near future. Thanks for a wonderful day Ray.

Ray Organised a super group shoot for other photographers like me to have an opportunity to shoot with a large group of models in a private outdoor space which also had an indoor studio on site with two separate main areas and side areas too. Pre shoot communications was excellent and both he and the host Lawrence were amazingly friendly and helpful. Basically myself and a friend of mine had an excellent day shooting a wide variety of models and styles. All the models he chose were friendly and helpful and each had their own unique special look - an amazing day where I shot far more photos than I expected and met some super passionate people.

I have been attending Rays group shoots for some time now and get more out of them each time I go. Ray is a bubbly soul and his knowledge is just priceless and I am truly honoured to have the chance to work with him. I have developed incredibly as a model thank you to Ray. Ray has an amazing collection of props and costumes that models can use for shoots. He is a laugh, incredible person and just talented beyond words. Thank Ray for everything you do. Cant recommend you enough!
