Had yet another great shoot with Ray. Excellent precomms with a really detailed plan of the aims for the day. We were able to get through a number of themes but still have plenty of ideas left for our future shoots.

Ray also has a huge wardrobe selection available for a range of sizes which is another bonus!

Looking forward to seeing the final product and excited for our next shoot!

I attended a group shoot last month that Ray organised and it was fantastic. Lots of photographers and models turned up on the day and it was very well organised. He is very professional and a lovely guy. Would recommend him to anyone. Thanks for a great day :)

I met Ray earlier in the month during a group shoot event which he organised. We were only able to work together for a short time on that occasion but we quickly found we made a good team and were able to produce some good images and it wasn't long before we arranged a second shoot.

Over the past 2 days I have been lucky enough to have a 2nd and 3rd shoot with Ray and we have been able to build on that magic that we created during the first shoot and produce some GREAT images.

Not only is Ray a creative and excellent photographer but he is a good mentor too and has really helped to increase my range of expressions and poses.

I thoroughly enjoy working with Ray and look forward to future shoots. I would highly recommend working with him.

Thank you Ray :)

I had the great pleasure of working with Ray during an amazing group shoot he organised. Pre comms were excellent and everything was highly organised. Ray is very creative and full of great ideas, he is also highly professional and a joy to work with. Thank you for a great day, I hope to work with you again soon.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ray last weekend at a big outdoor group photo shoot event he had created. It was the 10th event of this kind that Ray had created and after attending I can see why it has been so successful.

During the event I had not been lucky enough to be automatically allocated a shoot with Ray but made sure to find him during a free session.

I was very privileged to be offered some of Ray's time and had the opportunity to do my first lingerie shoot which I am so pleased about.

Ray was very professional, kind and helped me to relax into the shoot. He used his wide range of knowledge to assist me with posing and expressions.

I am very pleased with the images I have seen so far and look forward to sharing them as he literally made me look and feel like a million dollars. I am very much looking forward to working with him again in future and would definitely recommend him.

Thanks again Ray :)

I had the privilege to attend one of Ray's group shoots last month and must say that it was a great experience! Ray is incredibly professional and organised everything brilliantly. This group shoot was the opportunity to meet fantastic photographers and create great content! Ray and I have scheduled a solo shoot in the near future and I am really looking forward to it! I highly recommend Ray! Thanks again!

I attended Ray's group shoot and thoroughly enjoyed the day. The communication before hand was excellent so I knew what the plan for the day was, what was expected of me, what to bring, very good location details and who would be attending.

The day was well organised and was a great experience to work with a range of photographers. Everyone was very friendly and there was a fantastic lunch.

I did a shoot with Ray who was fantastic. He knows exactly what he wants from you, he gave me specific direction which really helped and plenty of encouragement and reassurance.

I'm really pleased with the images Ray sent over to me in the time frame given. He's a really great photographer and very understanding of the model as a person in themselves. Thank you very much Ray for all your time, understanding and effort.

I attended another group shoot hosted by Ray at a fantastic location in Dorking. Ray is an excellent host and this was another great opportunity to meet other models and photographers. Food and drink were provided and the afternoon finished with the models in the heated pool while the photographers also got wet in the rain. Ray is also an excellent photographer and I can thoroughly recommend this bi-annual event as one not to be missed. Thank you Ray :D

It was a pleasure to meet Ray! He ran an amazing event in Dorking last month with several other photographers and models. The venue and organisation was very well done and he made all of the girls feel comfortable. I haven't had the opportunity to work with him personally, but hope to in the near future. He was very professional and had a positive energy and would recommend his services!

Thank you!

I attended Ray's big group shoot day in Dorking yesterday and it was a really great day. Lots of lovely people all enjoying a full day of shooting at an amazing location. Ray's efforts in putting these events together is huge and his energy and enthusiasm on the day is inspirational. I cannot reccomend Rays events enough. They really are a very special day out. I am already looking forward to the next one. Thank you Ray.

I also attended Ray's big shoot in Dorking and loved every minute!

A great group of models and photographers, at a fantastic location. Ray is an easy going and relaxed host who made this a very enjoyable and fun event.

Thanks Ray for a brilliant day, see you at the next one :D

Ray is a very creative photographer. I did a great shoot with him earlier this year, and the pictures came out amazing. He's very warm and welcoming and is articulate in his direction.

Highly recommended, and I look forward to working with him in the near future.

I attended Ray's famous Big Group Shoot in Dorking (9th I believe) with a great group of fellow creatives and it was a truly fun and stimulating experience.

Ray had put a huge amount of organisation into the event, and it showed in its quality and smooth running.

As a pro photographer himself, Ray was always happy to advise all who were there, and it was a pleasure watching him work one to one with the models - I learned some useful tricks just doing that.

Ray is a true gentleman, friendly, kind, thoughtful and generous with his time and resources. He is obviously well respected and liked by photographers and the models he works with.

Ray also does one to one Masterclasses, and I am currently arranging a pro workflow specific one with him now

I have been invited to a group shoot hosted by ray and his team in his fabulous location which is also full of little locations each more interesting to shoot in. Despite having some problem with transports, Ray has been reachable all the time which was a relieve when going somewhere for the 1st time. Swimming pool, forest, secluded and derelict areas, a James Bond car, loads of photographers and models, even the sun shown off!!!! We have been fed, we had drinks all the time, somewhere to get change... photos are still getting emailed to us not too long afterward which is a good point. I really enjoyed this day and highly recommend Ray.

I would highly recommend him to anyone. And guarantee you will be really impressed with his style of work.

Am looking forward to working with Ray in the very best future.
