What a fokin great shoot today! Ceri's the king of locations, third shoot together and he's still pulling locations out the bag.

I enjoyed every min of our shoot today from the chats in the car to me laughing at the loud sounds he made to let me know he had taken the shot as we couldn't hear each other over the waterfall.

Ceri is such a lovely genuine guy and I just adore working with him.

I can't wait to see what we created today as the back of camera shots are epic!!

As i've said before I very highly recommend him!

Ceri and I have been friends on social media for a while now, but we've never had the chance to meet up until today's shoot, he suggested an amazing abandoned factory that worked so well for our shoot today with Jodie.

Ceri's a nice chap, chatty and easy-going, we bounced several ideas off each other throughout the shoot and hoping to plan another fairly soon.

A highly recommended photographer with some great ideas

Wow!! Where do I begin!..... well we shot yesterday and I’m still smiling from ear to ear today!!

This was my first shoot with Ceri and I certainly hope it’s not the last. Ceri is amazing! His eye for photography is fantastic. He know exactly how to shoot me to accentuate my best bits, I was wow’d all day!!

Pre comms were spot on. Ceri gave me clear details of where we’d meet. He also put a plan together for the day to make the best of the time we had. He shared images of the location giving me an insight to enable me to pack outfits accordingly.

We met in our own cars, and I followed Ceri as we went on an adventure around Wales. It was so much fun! Ceri is great company, the day literally flew by. We planned a couple of locations and found a bonus one on the way. It was amazing!

Ceri is such a great photographer, he let me free flow my poses, but is great at giving direction to get “that shot” looking super.

I would 100% recommended Ceri without a doubt

Thank you for such a great shoot. I hope we get to shoot again soon and create more magic

Great day shooting. Very relaxed atmosphere but some amazing shots taken. Very quick turnover and the images received were highly polished and professional!

Would Highly Recommend Ceri to work with as a highly professional Photographer and tutor to myself.

I owe most of my gain skills and understanding of photoshoots from working with Ceri while doing shoots with Starlight_abyss (Shannon) and urbexing.

Ceri You are a true gentleman and a magician the manner in which you shoot is un-doubtably professional and relaxed while your work is outstanding.

Its been a pleasure to work and learn from you and hope our friendship continues. Twm

What is there more to say about Ceri... Well after yet another awesome shoot I think things just keep getting better! His images are amazing, he’s thoughtful, kind and understanding (I was actually late for the shoot 😅) I always have so much fun on our shoots no matter what the theme is.. This time we listened and danced to metal in a derelict building which was fab!

He is creative and considered which shows in the images he creates! Im so happy with our last shoot it really has boosted my confidence to no end. Thank you so so much, words do not explain my appreciation 🖤

Highly recommended by me :)

I had the pleasure of working with Ceri again recently, and even though it was a short shoot I think between us we absolutely nailed it! Already gaining 3 FPI’s from his port I now name it the shoot that just keeps on giving ;)

Ceri, is a great guy and a superb photographer! Working alongside him is easy, fun and relaxing. I initially felt a bit anxious as I had shot for some time but he made them melt away as soon as he opened his mouth. Can’t wait to work with him again 🙏🏻

Many thanks for everything

THIS, was one of the photographer/model combos we've been waiting for since following valeimages work on here and on social media! Its a true thrill to see a photographer making the most of very area, lighting, and static props we had to offer. Knowing from his previous work we knew this would be something special.

Really looking forward to future projects and seeing what direction the creative flow takes this studio.

2021!!!

First shoot with Ceri was fab , I was so excited when he approached me on Instagram to work together couldn’t quite believe it. We originally went to look at a new waterfall location however seemed very busy and not suitable for me to do the nude shots I wanted to get, so retreated to his trusty quiet spot. We didn’t shoot for long but got some great images in that time Ceri was very understanding when I became to cold and slightly overwhelmed. I’m definitely looking forward to working together again and keeping eyes peeled for some new locations for us to try !

This shoot has been a long time coming, wanted to work with Ceri for years, well he definitely didn’t disappoint! He organised somewhere lovely to stay for me as I had a fair bit to travel, he was an absolute gem, very polite, chatty and respectful, Ceri had lots of ideas but was also totally open to mine and we worked together as a team, wherever / whenever I needed a bit of direction he did a great job directing me.. Ceri made me feel completely at ease and I truly enjoyed spending the day creating awesomeness with him, I’m really looking forward working with Ceri again in the future and I 100% recommend working with him!

My Ohh my, the day has come! after a year of communication we finally got a shoot together.

It was everything I thought it would but MORE.

Where do I begin!

The communication was top notch, making me feel so at ease before hand! (great banter throughout)

Ceri's comments during this shoot just made me feel fantastic, he's just this bubbly personality that so lovely and sweet!

We also talked about our shared love for Olympus (the freaking best)

I chose a selection of outfits that complemented the surrounding environment.

I shown Ceri this beautiful location _side note_ this is a fantastic location for that art nude stuff (I give my blessing)

Also, on the same day! I received some edited images! They are marvellous and I honestly can't wait to see more! (outstanding)

Finally, I think it's needless to say that this photographer comes strongly recommended, the references alone say this! but here is one more! (strongly recommend)

I would gladly work with Ceri again, this shoot was just a joy! 🦄

What can a say, third time I have worked with Ceri and we smash it every time, being approached for a shoot with no makeup as a preference was a scary notion but it worked so well. Don’t think this man is capable of a bad image. Lots more ideas for the future.

Another fabulous shoot with Ceri at my favourite kind of location.... waterfalls!

Ceri is always a joy to work with, with a great sense of humour and a love for his craft. The images are lovely and I’m super happy to recommend him without hesitation!

I have worked with Ceri several times now. He was actually one of the first photographers I arranged a shoot with and we have grown such a great model/photographer relationship over the last 2 years.

Not only is Ceri extremely professional and amazingly talented, he offered me great advice and support as I took baby steps into the this world.

My main worry when beginning my modeling career was who to trust as a young girl in the industry and I am honestly so grateful to have had such great experiences with photographers such as Ceri.

Highly recommend, I have loved every image we have created and look forward to working together again in the future!

Thank you Ceri.

First time working with this amazing soul, Ceri - we've spoken for years about creating art together but only managed to get something sorted this year. Finally!! What an awesome shoot it was - C was so lovely, booked me in to a wonderful Airbnb place near Cardiff, so we began with shooting the house, using the natural light, a spare bedroom (the images are fucking beautiful - published in Femme Rebelle). Then we ventured out into the slightly damp Cardiff, shooting some androgynous portraits, complete with cigar and suits, then wandered into the city centre to create some shapes and dance about a couple of tunnel areas. All of the pictures are utterly magnificent.

Ceri is a sweet soul, with a bloody brilliant eye for creating art, and an epic taste in music - got on like a house on fire immediately! He's fucking awesome. Thank you man!

Until next time my dear

I had a wonderful opportunity to shoot with Ceri for the first time in Bath at beautiful Georgian styled apartment run by Alicia Black..

Ceri's pre comms were absolutely amazing, full of creative and beautiful ideas and so pleasant to shoot with!

I enjoyed Ceri's positive energy throughout the day and much appreciate how kind he was and made me so comfortable!

It's always so nice to work with such creative people and I couldn't be happier with what we have achieved! Ceri is not only a talented photographer but also such a lovely person and our shoot just went by so fast which speaks for itself! I truly enjoyed the whole experience and

definitely recommend this one of a kind Photographer 100% to all! ♥

Thank you once again and much looking forward to our future collaborations :) You're amazing!

All the best

Oh my goodness where do I start with my weekend shoot with Ceri. He made his way through storm Dennis to Barry Island where I was staying in a gorgeous apartment.

As usual Ceri's communations were excellent leading up to our shoot. We were going to shoot on location but knew that Storm Dennis may cause problems so we had a back up plan of the apartment. So pleased now we shot in the apartment because the images we captured in the 3 hours we shot are absolutely stunning. His use of natural light is faultless & his eye for capturing an image where you think was impossible is just staggering. So that was day one then onto our second shoot this morning where hubby knew someone in the area with a workshop and a stunning car. Unfortunately because of the weather we couldn't shoot with that car so had another that the owner was kind to let me shoot with which was also stunning. I got to shoot in my What Katie Did lingerie and we all came away really thrilled in what was captured. All in all despiting Storm Dennis he didn't stop us having an awesome shoot. Thank you so much Ceri for yet another amazing shoot. Until next time ;)

Another great shoot yesterday with MR Vale.

I always enjoy working with Ceri, hes professional and dedicated to his work and so friendly.

Ceri is great at using natural daylight in his images and creating shadows and figures.

Ceri had a full idea of what we were going to cover in our shoot, we shot 3 hours and it had flown! - but it wasnt so bad as we had already had epics shots to work with!

Working together, our images get better and better, we get on so well.

I always feel good when shooting with Ceri, he will always give me praise when I doubt myself, and his images make me feel better about myself.

I will always have time to work with Ceri, he always brings out the best in me in his images and hes just lovely to work with.

Thank you for another great day.

See you real soon!

Worked with vale imagines a little while ago but he didn’t have purple port at the time.

Ceri collected both myself & the other model up from the train station, took the time to talk to us about what we required from the shoot in order to make the decision about the appropriate location. He was professional but friendly. He offered good advice on settings, poses & outfit choices but was not pressuring.

The edits were as amazing as expected. I would recommend Ceri as his images speak for them self for now talented he is!
