It was an absolute joy from start to finish working with Rodney! Such a kind & calm compassionate nature. He made me feel super comfortable & at ease by bringing a fun, uplifting & inspiring energy to the shoot. His creative expression & direction gave me a lot of freedom to explore movement and shapes, to be curious and learn about how to achieve a strong image. To open up, be light and be relaxed. He has a keen eye for detail, knowledge and passion for getting the best out of you! Loved this shoot and would definitely recommend him highly. Mega talented. Thanks Rodney for the positive experience.

The photo session with Rodney was an amazing experience. When this positive, smiling, kind man opened the door to the studio, I knew it would be a great shooting! Rodney is a very creative person who is exceptionally communicative when taking photos, which makes everything extremely easy. If you don't know how to pose, don't worry - he will guide you perfectly through the entire process and you will leave his studio with a big smile on your face. He brings out the best in a woman and in the photos you will see yourself beautiful, strong and sensual. Highly recommended!

I couldn’t be more pleased and grateful for the elegant yet joyful experience of photo-shooting with Rodney! He is a super professional photographer that directs models with delicacy and politeness, provides a very precise guidance, and is very clear about postures and expression. He cares about models’ comfort and safety but also ensures the session is done on time with dynamism and energy, so the creative drive keeps flowing! Rodney is a very passionate creator and a very bubbly, kind, good-humoured personality that constantly inspires models he works with, and smiling is inevitable when working with him! The experience was very informal, and what is important, it started with a brief conversation — Rodney is keenly interested in knowing his model’s character by asking a few questions to break the ice and build trust.

I had the pleasure of working with Rodney at his home studio in North London. He was happy with me bringing a chaperone and made both of us feel very welcome. During pre-comms he provided a detailed plan for the day, making it easier for me to bring outfits that matched the style. He provided very specific directions for posing, ensuring he got exactly what he wanted out of the shoot. The environment was very relaxed and Rodney is really easy to chat to.

Rodney is an absolute delight! From the first encounter, he was welcoming and warm. With Rodney's guidance, I felt comfortable and at ease, knowing exactly what he wants from the shoot but open to ideas too. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and was totally amazed and wowed by photos of myself! 100% recommend a shoot with Rodney. You won't be disappointed!

I had a lovely, creative photoshoot with Rodney at his studio. He was communicative and professional. He was helping and giving directions but he was also open to my ideas and the different poses I'd suggest. I'd definitely work with him again! :)

An absolute delight! I'm very new to modelling so I am still finding my feet, but Rodney was so kind and immediately put me at ease. His direction style was very easy for me to follow, using himself as a mirror for poses, and giving me little notes and direction as we went. I felt so confident during the shoot and I think it's because it was just such a fun time, and Rodney's excited reaction to every single shot was just amazing, and made me feel so beautiful. I just had a look at all the photos from the session and I am absolutely in love. I highly recommend him, and cannot wait to get my final edited shots!! Thank you!!

I had the best time shooting with Rodney. Communication was great, he was very welcoming, I felt comfortable, and we had a laugh.

He is very creative, talented, gave clear and simple instructions, paid attention to every detail which created magic.

I definitely recommend Rodney and would love to shoot again with him soon :) x

Rodney was amazing… he was also the first photographer I worked with on Purpleport. Once we agreed a time and a date, he shared all location details, how the shoot would work in an email so it was super clear for me.

On the day of the shoot, I was really nervous but Rodney helped calm me with a cup of tea and a chat. We planned out the clothes and he helped style my poses really well. I would really recommend Rodney to models of any experience as he was very professional and friendly. Thanks so much Rodney, 🙏🏻 Zii

Photoshoot with Rodney absolutely exceeded my expectations, even though I was well aware of his great reputation as a photographer!

He made the shoot the most fun, inspiring, comfortable and educational experience for me. He implemented several creative ideas that turned out absolutely gorgeous.

I wholeheartedly recommend his services! He is truly one of a kind personality and an amazing photographer.

What an amazing man and photographer! Wanted to share my honest view and experience for everyone else and also as a recommendation for Rodney. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect going into the shoot but somehow it was literally better than what I could imagine. His view for what and how to capture an image is inspiring. I’m a confident person but he really brought me out my shell in ways I didn’t know I needed e.g. The thought of smiling for photos was never an option I’ve never really loved my smile and so Rodney making me smile and taking photos made me so nervous. I did not expect that when looking at the end results, pretty much all of my photo choices would be of me smiling😁The way he’s captured that moment just feels so authentic and like it’s really me. So grateful for the experience and feeling like it’s okay to smile now. Couldn’t wish for a better photographer😇📸

I cannot recommend Rodney enough!

Working with Rodney was so smooth and easy, he made me feel so comfortable in his home studio for our shoot together.

The communication before the shoot was very detailed and precise, and his response time was quick.

When I arrived to the studio, Rodney did everything to make me feel comfortable like offering me water, coffee, fruit- and we chatted before we began our session. He helped choose which outfits would work best from what I brought and then gave me some time to get dressed and ready.

The shoot was so fun and free! Rodney gives incredible direction, and I love that he has his own sort of vocabulary to direct with so it’s easy to remember what he wants you to do, and he can make you laugh while doing it all! He helps unlock your inner self and makes you shine- the pictures from our session are just out of this world! As a model, I don’t love my smile and he could pick up on that energy- and he helped me through the session smile and laugh and there are photos from our time together where I’m smiling and I love them!

I had a lovely time shooting with Rodney and I would absolutely work with him again in the future. I definitely recommend him!

Highly recommended - the pre-shoot communication was perfect, the shoot was perfect, and the post shoot communication was perfect! Rodney ensured my comfort throughout our time and was very clear with direction - which is great for me being a new model. Not only is Rodney's standard of work very high, he is great fun and good humoured too. I am so happy with the pictures I've received - they were delivered promptly and are beautiful. I would work with Rodney again in a heartbeat!

I really enjoyed shooting with Rodney Pedroza. He made me feel very comfortable and looked after the smallest detail of the shoot, guiding me and working hard with the resources he’s got (a lot btw) He made my eyes look so beautiful!

Our communication has been and is great, he’s very accessible.

I can strongly recommend Rodney Pedroza.

Thank you

I feel very grateful to have had a photoshoot with Rodney. He made me feel very welcomed, comfortable, beautiful and uplifted. It was an amazing experience, he was very professional and great with giving directions. Time just flied with him! He had a big smile throughout, great sense of humor, such a beautiful soul! I could not recommend him enough.

Working with Rodney was a great experience.

His energy, his being super friendly and professional made me feel at ease right away even though it was my first shooting.

Society and the beauty standards imposed by it has made it difficult for us women to feel beautiful and sexy every day, without makeup and without a nice dress. What Rodney made possible that day was to make me feel perfect the way I am, just myself.

I love my photos, I love the poses, I never thought I would look beautiful. He has perfectly managed to enhance what for me a few years ago were defects that I would have had to modify to be accepted and considered a beautiful woman; now I look at myself in those photos and I can say "Yes it's me and I am so beautiful". I hope to have the opportunity to work with Rodney again, he has just a unique energy, taste and creativity. 1000% recommended
