I have known Ray since 2013. I had amazing photo shots from him. You can view them from my profile. I love watching him when he demonstrates how a pose should be. I highly recommend him to have your portfolio looks good.

I had my first shoot with Ray, he came with creative outfits to create ideas for the shoot. He was very professional and given me clear directions how to pose. Easy going and friendly as we both work well creating smashing images

Shot with Ray on a small group shoot on Saturday 27th September at hanging wood farm, godstone. Ray organised this shoot with one other photographer and one other model, from pre shoot all through to shoot and post, he was outstanding, extremely professional and great at communication. He was a delight to work with and so very good at guiding me through something I had not done before, he was able to give clear instruction with his own sense of humour which was a breath of fresh air. Ray also came to the shoot with an array of outfits for me to try and they all worked, overall a brilliant day and really appreciated the effort and time that was put in. He was very considerate and looks after models really well. Great person, great company, great work. Keen to work with Ray again soon! Thank you very much Ray :) Very excited to see the final shots :)

Had a wonderful day at multi tog shoot arranged by Ray, set in the beautiful grounds of his sister in laws home.

I shot twice with Ray, one solo in the forest and another set with an amazing model called Abbye who shoots regularly with Ray.

Ray is a great guy. He is friendly, very professional, great at giving direction, with a great eye for detail I love his abstract ideas. His creativity is inspiring and his passion for photography is clear and you know you will get something amazing shooting with Ray.

I would love to shoot with Ray again and would definitely recommend shooting with him to others

This is a reference for Ray as the host of an group event that he organised. I've attended a lot of Rays events they are always extremely well put together with a great group of photographers and models. This years event in May was fantastic! Ray is also an brilliant photographer and 100% reliable. If you get the chance to attend one of his events, or to work with Ray then go for it!

I recently attended one of Ray's group shoots for the second time and would do it again with pleasure! It is always well organised and everyone feels at home. These great shoots give both models and photographers get to experience multiple techniques and know how! I am really grateful to Ray for organising them! I didn't get to shoot with him this time but I have had the privilege to do so on other occasions and I loved it! Ray is a highly skilled photographer, professional and caring. He really knows how to bring the best out of you. I hope to shoot together again soon and highly recommend Ray as a photographer!

Had another great shoot with Ray today, totally love working with him> He is professional, organised and always has a written plan to work from, explains exactly what he wants and goes the extra mile to capture the perfect shot. I find his shoots fun and he manages to make you feel totally at ease. Thanks for another great day and i look forward to many more shoots with you (hopefully)

Today had my 2nd shoot with Ray and 2 other models . Was a shoot to remember another level higher for myself. Full of fun and laughs and very entertaining . Ray is very proffessional with a lot of imagination. Hes a fantastic teacher and very open and easy to get on with. Great team work all round and highly recommended.

Had my first shoot it Ray at a group event he hosted. Even though it was a short shoot it was very comfortable. Ray held himself well and was very professional.

It was a great experience and hopefully this leads to more shots.

Thank you again

Kayla Adams

Had a group photo shoot in Dorking which was organised by Ray and set in a beautiful picturesque location. I also had the pleasure of grabbing some time with Ray towards the end of the day to get some photos with him and I am so glad I did!

Ray is a friendly and funny guy who can make anyone feel comfortable. He is highly experienced and I felt a learnt a great deal from him. I would highly recommend Ray and am looking forward to hopefully working with him on a solo shoot in the future! Thank you for such a wonderful day!

had my first shoot with Ray on the 14th , a really amazing man who guides you through all aspects of a shoot. A creative genius, easy to talk to, also happy to listen. I would recommend that if you get the opportunity to work with Ray only a fool would turn it down. his pictures are full of expression and depth. Ray communicates fantastically before a shoot so that you know exactly what you are achieving on the day, he provides a model release contract , also a shoot day schedule so everything runs smoothly. A real inspiration and great man. thanks Ray , i hope to work again with him as soon as possible.

I had a really enjoyable first solo shoot with Ray. I had met Ray at a group shoot he organised last year and so had previously discussed the type of shoot that we could do. Ray gives useful pre shoot information and I had completed a questionnaire so that he knew what type of shoot I would like to do and what level I was comfortable working at. Ray is so friendly, professional, extremely well prepared and highly experienced so it was a fun and different photo shoot that I learnt a lot from. His range of costumes and accessories is wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing the results and working with Ray again.

I responded to a last minute cancellation and was lucky to be able to have a duo shoot with another female model during the overlapping period of our two shoots. Ray is not only a good teacher for solo shoots but also for groups.

We also had another short solo shoot using some of the themes we carried over from our last shoot.

Looking forward to seeing all the images!

Thanks again Ray.
