I have wanted to work with Roj for so long! And I’m so happy I finally did. Wow what a great shoot. I love it when a shoot is so productive and just flows. The 4 hours just flew by for me and I could have quite happily done another 4 and I don’t think we would have ran out of ideas between the two of us. Roj is just a lovely guy, really easygoing and also great at directing and being patient whilst your trying to do what is asked. The image I got back are hands down my favourite of this year. So yes! I recommend. And really hope we work together again in the new year.

I’ve been lucky enough to work with Roj twice now! Both times at fabulous Pathways studio. I love working with Roj. He’s always a joy to be around and makes my job super easy! He never fails to get great shots of me and this time around was no exception! We did some awesome reportage styled images this time too! I’m absolutely loving the edits I’ve seen appearing and I’m sure I’ll love anything else that may appear! A true gentleman through and through and an excellent photographer to work with! I highly recommend Roj! X

I absolutely love shooting with Roj and was overjoyed to have the whole day working with him! I am a great fan both as a person and a photographer. He has such a quirky, fun and edgy style which is a great addition to anyone’s portfolio. We shot a lot of different styles and I absolutely loved what I saw of the pics and the edits so far! Roj is a lovely, respectful man who produces awesome pictures. What’s not to like! Highly recommended.

I love working with Roj Smith!

I was a little worried an 8hr shoot in a hotel room would drag a little but it didn't at all!! He had some really awesome, creative ideas again and his work is such amazing quality that I get really excited about all his pictures everytime!

We even tried out a Polaroid camera which I was nervous about for some reason ha ha but they came out really well and it was a lot of fun giving it a go :)

I very highly recommend working with him if you get the chance, his work is mega and he's great company :)

That was my second full day shoot with Roj while touring in Liverpool and wow , he’s definitely one of the most talented and most friendly photographers I have ever worked with!

Roj as before was really easy to communicate with and very clear about ideas and concepts. He arrived with a lovely positive attitude, we had a nice long chat to catch up with life stories and issues and eventually .. decided to shoot!

The main reason I love working with Roj is the fact that every single set we work on looks like a complete different shoot! Roj is so incredibly creative that he can make every single set looking amazing and he is seriously not bothered about “tiny space” or “bad lighting” ( sometimes I feel like those two are just excuses for some people.. )He can always make most out of it without any complaints ! He’s so positive, full of ideas, with such great techniques and skills.

Moreover he’s such a lovely and nice person. Always respectful, caring, polite and relaxed. He doesn’t rush, he takes his time to make sure we get the quality instead of quantity. He made me feel even more creative, inspired and simply happy. Thank you Roj.

Definitely recommended, thank you and looking forward to working with you again! :)

Had a great shoot with Roj Smith recently, we shot together with fellow model Honour May and we all had a lot of fun. Roj had plenty of creative ideas and, as is apparent by his stunning portfolio, is a very talented photographer. He is also friendly and fun so time flew by and we created some amazing shots! I hope we will shoot again in future and I highly recommend him to other models!

Had an awesome first shoot with Roj Smith last week. Organising the shoot was a breeze with great communication. During the shoot he gave great direction, had some really fun ideas and the shoot flew by. On top of that the pics were awesome!

He is a very friendly, fun and genuine person I would recommend to anyone and hope I get the opportunity to work with him again :)

I thoroughly enjoyed my first shoot with Roj on my tour at pathways! I’ve always seen his work around and thought very highly of it. So glad I finally got the chance to work with him and create awesome pictures! He is chilled, great to talk to and has the artistic eye for photos. I also had the most in depth chat about soya milk which is a rarity 😂👌🏼 Great guy and very talented photographer, I loved our photos and hope to work with him again one day! Highly recommended.

I worked with the amazing Roj was the first time! I had wante to work with Roj for so so long so I was so pleased when he attended a workshop by Sally Sparrow.

Roj is great to shoot with, laid back, gets the shot quickly and is lovely to be around and model for.

I very much hope we get to shoot again on a 1-2-1 basis where we have more time to explore concepts and ideas.

Highly recommend!

Another lovely shoot with Roj on Monday :)

We did a half day in a nearby hotel and then the rest of the shoot at Pathways studio. We got through tonnes of different styles and from what I saw on the back of the camera (and the polaroids) we got some seriously nice images :D

Roj is really great company, friendly and very respectful!

Happily recommended and hopefully see him next time!

Is this reference number 6? I think it is, although, I do think that technically we have done 7 shoots. :)

I don't want to waffle on too much as I do believe the fact that I have left Roj several references now, says it all really. He is super creative, kind hearted, knows his camera and he comes up with the wonderful ideas to do every time we work together. It is always fun and different every time I work with Roj.

I most highly recommend that if you get the chance to work with Roj then you should take it!

Thank you so much, Roj! :)

Myself and Roj have been mutual followers of each other's work for some five years now. I finally got a chance to work with him today at Pathways and I'm super happy with the amount of stunning content we shot today! Roj has such a fabulous artistic flare and can jump in and out of complete different genres with evident ease.

I hope to be seeing Roj again soon. Such a wonderful shoot today and time just flew by! X

Had a wonderful shoot with this talented photographer.

We worked well together, ideas flowed and we had a laugh too.

Professional, excellent with, light, direction and technique.

We created some super images, I recommend Roj 100% and look forward to our next shoot.

Thanks so much Roj x

Well…..Roj is indeed one of my favourite photographers to work with! He is a models dream! ]]

Firstly, the shoot was super easy and quick to arrange! No messing about and all the details clearly stated! Rob had found a great hotel which we were able to use during the day!

Secondly, Roj really looks after he models! He picked me up, and dropped me off from where I was staying - something that is always really appreciated. he often asked if I was comfortable and happy! He suffered the hot room so I would stay warm! We had a lovely coffee break and stopped for a lovely lunch too!

I have to stop myself talking when with Roj! he makes me feel very comfortable and is great company so if I don’t stop myself we’d just be chatting all day and not shooting!! He is just great company!

Okay, thats just Roj the man, now Roj the photographer, well….he has a great attitude to photography and shoots. He’s super creative and has some really great ideas! He is more than capable! He has a great knowledge of photography and a really great eye which is obvious when looking at his portfolio and when shooting with him! I adored the stuff that rob came up with! And his execution of the ideas were just fantastic!!! I really really love the shots we created together! He has already edited and published some and boy are they good! One in particular got so much attention wen it was posted on social media!

I was super impressed that Roj nailed the shot as I did not tell him what I was going to do, I think I said, ‘get ready to catch on’ soon after I launched myself into the air above the bed. But Roj is very skilled and quick and he got it first time!!

Our day was so fun and relaxed! We began doing some outdoor fashion - Roj was very patient as my eye was watering due to the weather! We then did a range of fashion, implied and nude in teh hotel room and ended on a bubble bath shoot!

Roj really worked hard to adapt to the surroundings and really make the most of them! He was moving around just as much as me! Its always nice to see a photographer that is happy to work for the shot too!

I am so so proud of the image and I’m excited to see what the images come from the day!!

Really hope I get to work with Roj again soon! He really is a top guy and a top photographer!! He comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by me!

I had my first ever shoot with Roj while touring in Liverpool and hopefully we will have much more to come ! :)

Roj initially wanted to book me for 4 hours, however after a little chat he decided to book a full day with me. I was so so pleased and happy about it as he's been on my ''want to work with' list since I probably joined purple port! I was really excited about our shoot.

Roj arrived on time, with a smile on his face and a positive attitude. We had a nice chat before and discussed our ideas as well as life problems ha !

Roj was so amazing to work with !! He is so talented and creative, I was amazed with amount of themes we managed to cover and different looks we achieved. I enjoyed every single one as each concept was slightly different. Images are stunning and I am definitely wanting to work with Roj again :)!

Apart from that, Roj is one of the most easy going and friendly people ever ! He is really chatty, with a great sense of humour, totally relaxed and down to earth. He will make a model feel comfortable and good, and surely he will make her look good too!

I would definitely like to recommend Roj to every model and I am really looking forward to working with him again. Thank you :)!

I have admired Roj's work for ages so was super happy that he was interested in shooting me while I was in his area!

Roj booked me for 4 hours today and time seemed to fly by! He turned up with some specific ideas and then we winged it as well!!

Omg - I loved EVERY SET! Roj is an awesome photographer! Technically he is great! Fab lighting setups - great compositions! I really loved his angles and crops! He had some really cool ideas and I think we worked really well together!

We managed to get lots of sets in as Roj works quickly! No messing about :)

Roj was respectful and professional throughout! I felt very comfortable and at ease with him! I really enjoyed his company! The shoot was nice and relaxed e! Lots of chatting lots of laughs! Didn't feel like work at all!

Roj had already been home and processed some images before I had even finished the rest of my studio day and I bloody LOVE THEM!!

Loved working with Roj! Fabulous Photographer- Great person! Highly recommended!!

Had the pleasure of working with Roj at my recent studio day. He knew exactly what he wanted to shoot and made me feel right at home shooting with him. He's a great guy, I hope to work with him again soon. 100% recommended.

Thanks for an awesome shoot Roj!
