Today I had my first shoot with the lovely Ricardo who was on time and had some great ideas. He gave good direction when needed and let me free pose too, we shot about 3 sets in the 2 hours and it was a really fun and relaxed shoot.

Ricardo is a talented photographer and great company too! Highly recommended!

Thank you! X

Shooting with Ricardo again, at a stunning London location, was fun - he is a very respectful and thoughtful individual, who has a simply wonderful way with the camera, using the scenes and surrounding tones to their full potential!

I cannot recommend this fantastic photographer enough to everyone, he's such a joy to work with and his ideas are awesome :)

I shot with Ricardo a few days ago, it was a great experience! Even though we didn't have time to plan the shoot we had very good results!

He's nice and polite and let me do my thing and he also brought some specific ideas to the shoot.

And having someone to speak my home tongue with is always a plus!

Gracias :)

I would definitely recommend working with Ricardo - he has a clear vision of what he wants to achieve on a shoot (even if it took us a number of emails to understand each other) but is still open to ideas too. It was a great collaborative shoot and I'm very happy with the results. Thank you :)

I had another wonderful shoot with Ricardo at his home! Once again, it was an absolute pleasure. He was polite, friendly and creative as usual!

The shots we managed to achieve were wonderful and once again the time just seemed to fly by!

I'd highly recommend Ricardo, he's a talented photographer :)

I had a wonderful shoot with Ricardo at his home!

Great pre-shoot comms, I brought a varied selection of things with me and tried several different looks and ideas. Great host, we had a great time chatting about travel, and even managed to take some beautiful images. Happy to let me pose, but also made suggestions and even mentioned studios to me, so lots of planning!

Huge thanks!! :D

Ricardo applied to my casting call to shoot at my family home, an old school house. Pre communication was great and he was easy going when plans had to chance slightly. He showed up on time and found the place with little problem. Our shoot went well and he used lots of rooms in the short amount of time we had together. Thanks for a great shoot!

I had he absolute pleasure of working with Ricardo at wins cottage a few months back (yes I'm just catching up)

Ricardo was an absolute joy to work with!

He turned up on time and came with an idea of what he wanted to shoot!

I absolutely loved the results which speaks for the shoot itself!

Would happily recommend and happily work with again!

Had the absolute pleasure of working with Ricardo for the first time yesterday, a total gent and so easy to work with. It was quite a trek to the location but had a great shoot and hopefully produced some fabulous results. I look forward to having the opportunity of working with Ricardo again. Highly recommended.

My 2nd time working with Ricardo. During our first shoot, Ricardo had expressed an interest in venturing into a fetish shoot, so we arranged our 2nd shoot with this in mind.

We had the whole day to work together at the Little Chelsea Studio in Eastbourne, and had initially planned 5 different sets. In the end we managed 3 , because one of the ideas didn't quite work out how we wanted it so we had to abandon that one, and then we decided the skip another to give the final set more shooting time.

We started with some softer 'romantic boudoir' shots, and then moved onto more of a dominatrix look for me. This set was really good fun, and Ricardo was happy to experiment with lighting and poses to make the most of the latex outfit I had brought along.

Finally, we did a shibari set with DigitalDave doing the rigging.

It was a long, but great day. Ricardo is extremely friendly and polite, which I very much appreciate during fetish and bondage shoots. He is keen to let the model 'do her thing', which gives a lot of creative freedom when thinking up poses. I look forward to seeing the results of our collaboration.

I shot with Ricardo after he contacted me here on PP with the idea of doing an arty fetish themed shoot. His pre-shoot coms were polite and detailed. As he didn't have any experience shooting fetish he asked my opinion throughout (including asking advice on where we might be able to shoot this type of theme - I suggested Fine and Dandee in Wokingham as I had shot there previously and knew they had a good set-up), but also came up with lots of ideas of his own.

Ricardo is a lovely gentleman and I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot with him. He was professional and respectful but warm throughout - a great combination.

Definitely recommended and I hope to shoot with him again soon.

I shot with Ricardo for the second time, at Studio180, with discussed ideas for a fetish/ bondage themed shoot and had a wonderful couple of hrs, that passed by too quick!

He is a very professional photographer who knows exactly what he wants to capture, getting the light and scenes set up beautifully...definitely has a fantastic way with the camera, angling & framing to a tee!

I wholeheartedly recommend this fabulous photographer, he will not disappoint :)

I shot with Ricardo for the 1st time on the weekend whilst on my recent London tour, with great pre-comms and discussion....

He is a thoughtful and lovely individual who has a wonderful way with the camera, using the available light for fantastic results - he is professional and only works with best angles, to capture some beautiful images!

I can't recommend Ricardo enough, youd be mad not to work with him :)

Me and Ricardo got to work together at The Little Chelsea Gallery on one of my studio days whilst I was on tour. He was an absolute delight to model for and was very easy to talk to :) We managed to do a lot in the time we had and pretty much used every space in the studio to create awesome photos :)

Ricardo arrived nice and early for our shoot and we got so many stunning photos. I just can not wait to see more of them. His pre shoot communications were excellent and of course he came fully prepared for the shoot. I do hope to work with him again in the future and I do recommend him to other models too :)

I recently had a studio day at The Cottage Studio in which Ricardo booked to shoot with me on for 2 hours, very pleasant photographer, easy to shoot with and the images produced are rather lovely too.

Recommended by me, hope to work with you again sometime :)
