I had a great time with Ceri in our shoot today!

The communication before the shoot was prompt and clear and, once we met, we felt we were both very happy to find what worked and try different things.

We both like creative and unconventional images and I feel we captured lots of really good ones.

Ceri is very friendly and fun, I look forward to our next shoot and I would definitely recommend working with him!

I have worked with Ceri twice now and can honestly say he is my favourite photographer to shoot with. (He understands my eccentricities).We both know what we want from our shoots and what looks good. No matter how silly I may look sometimes. Can’t wait for another shoot...

I had the full Vale treatment at our second shoot yesterday!

Ceri took me to one of his locations to create my first taste of urbex shooting. Totally overwhelmed but excited as there was a lot to work with. As it was my first one Ceri looked after me well, going over health and safety and making sure I was comfortable and happy.

We both work well together because our minds work in sync with creative ideas! The day went too quick, and we managed to capture loads of sets!

I really enjoyed yesterday, you helped me explore and adapt as a model and is just amazing company, and I can't thank you enough for that

Will always shoot with you

Ceri contacted me to shoot couple of months ago which I was super chuffed about. He also went the extra and booked a studio

We focussed a lot on my projects and ideas for shooting. Started off on boudoir which isn't his "go to" shots, but judging by the looks of excitement after taking shots, they came out extremely well! And they did! We then went onto more dark and black and white images. We covered 4 different sets, and finished earlier than planned!

Ceri is super easy to get along with, lovely person and we had good conversations. Ceri knows what he wants out of an image and how he wants it to look. Ceri is very dedicated professional. Together we make some great work and I cannot wait to get to do the "nitty gritty" side with him.

Highly recommend and can't wait to work with you again

Welcome back to PP!!!

I had two brilliant shoots with Ceri, last year and also ten month ago. Ceri is dramatically friendly, enthusiastic, talented and I thoroughly enjoyed working with him. He knows the area and perfect spots for the shoots which results the shoot really successful!!! The images were all gorgeous from our shoots and I really cannot work with him in the near future.

Highly recommended!!!

This was my second shoot with ceri. First one back in March and the weather was gorgeous. However this time was totally different as it has been raining for days. I was panicking a little as I thought i wouldn't be able to do the waterfall shoot. But we went for it and I'm so glad we did. Ceri capture Stunning images in different angles which I saw on back of camera and was very pleased with what he captured. Ceri and SparkeyB worked hard and got on so well together. I absolutely adored every second of our shoot ceri and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am now able to tick of my waterfall shoot wish. Until next time ;)

Highly recommended

Thank you so much.

Ceri and I did our 3rd shoot together. He is a dear friend to me now.

He is very honest and direct with model and get the best out of each model by communicating with them about style, location and pose.

And his each images speak for themselves.

I am very honoured to have the opportunity to work with Ceri and I hope I will do many more. And he is super calm even when everything fall a part and make the mode feel comfortable.

He is a true legend

A highly recommended photographer and his extensive experience of shooting make him the best of best.

Thanks sir for working with me

I recently had a fantastic shoot with Ceri at a very picturesque and tranquil waterfall location. I've lost count how many times I've shot with Ceri but he's been a very important part of my modelling journey and each time we shoot I feel that I learn more about myself and my capabilities as a model.

He always choses stunning locations and ensures such variety in the shoot. As you can see from my portfolio, his images feature very highly on my main page and in all my albums.

Shooting with Ceri is spending the day with a like-minded creative, it's always fun as he's great company, and I'm guaranteed awesome images. In fact several of his images have literally taken my breath away!

I'm shooting with him again next month and we already have a really cool plan for the shoot. He has a fantastic eye for an image and is superb at tweaking the shot and directing posing to get things extra special!

Welcome back to PP and highly recommended :)

I actually shot with Ceri back in February Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th. As he has rejoined PP I need to leave this man a reference.

Oh my goodness where do I start. I spotted Ceri work on Instagram and I was just blown away. I messaged him and I asked if he wanted to work with me and when he replied back and said yes I was super excited. Ceri pre comms were excellent leading upto our shoot. Ceri was very kind in looking at where I could stay in the location where we would be shooting. I found a gorgeous cabin where we shot in the Saturday. The cabin was abit on the small side but boy there was no stopping Ceri. The weather was absolutely fantastic and with the sun coming through it was giving us the most beautiful light through the windows. Ceri angles for capturing images are breathtaking which at one point it brought a tear to my eye,you know which one Ceri ;)

On the second day we went out on location. Again the weather was amazing and we were able to capture more stunning images. We went from me posing in a tree where I got caught by a gentleman walking pass and I nearly feel off with fright lol to shooting in a derilict building and an old burnt down church. Ceri has an amazing eye for capturing that shot. I came away what was a truly memorable shoot.

And now for round two where myself,Ceri and SparkeyB will be shooting together in Wales. This will be a shoot for my 50th that I won't ever forget. I really can not wait. Until then I'll be counting down the days.

So it won't come as a surprise when I say Ceri comes very highly recommended

Welcome back on PP :)

Ceri is such pleasure to work with - professional, creative and lovely person.

Look forward to work with you again.

Highly recommended!

I've had the joy of 2 shoots with Ceri so far! And both epic locations!

We first shot in a prison which was amazing and Ceri captured the mood extremely well. The second was beautiful Welsh waterfalls and it was stunning!

Ceri's pre comms for both shoots were spot on, Organisation was perfect and the shoots were very enjoyable. Ceri is a great guy, down to earth and made sure I was safe and comfortable at all times.

Can't wait for our next shoot!

I very highly recommend him!

This was my 2nd shoot with Mr Vale.

This time he had scouted out a handful of really good, quiet locations.

What I really like about working with him, is that he sees the possibility in what others would overlook and he can make the derelict and the barren look beautiful.

Each image tells a powerful story that means the viewer cant help but stare.

A visual magician!

Another fabulous shoot with Mr Vale and most of all – so much fun!

I had a superb time shooting with Ceri and can’t really wait to see him again. We get on brilliantly which helps, but overall, Ceri is just so easy to work with and shooting with him is always a pleasure. He knows exactly how to keep the professionalism up all throughout the shoot while also being absolutely laid back.

Respectful and great to talk to with the perfect amount of silliness – Ceri will make you feel 110% comfortable. He is always eager to go over ideas and provides constant feedback which helps models perform to their best ability.

If you get a chance to work with Ceri, do not hesitate! A true creative with an eye for beautiful shots. Massive inspiration and good fun to spend the day with. Highly recommended, thank you Ceri!

This was my third shoot with Ceri and we had a very sunny day - not a problem for Ceri at all and we shot the first sequence out in the bright sunshine, capturing some awesome art nude images on a tree that had been struck by lightning.

Ceri then took me to two more equally stunning locations and we selected items I’d brought along to use - Ceri was very open to my ideas and we worked really well together. Ceri has a superb eye for a shot and the technical abilities to gain the best capture, which is very rewarding when you are hanging from a tree or doing a back breaking pose. Our last sequence was in a cave - totally the opposite conditions from the start of the day, and very dark but we got some superb images.

All in all we had a very productive and enjoyable shoot. We were both really excited to see what we had on the back of the camera, so many amazing shots. Ceri is great company and always gives really helpful and spot on direction to get the pose perfect for the shot.

Many thanks Ceri for a lovely day and I can’t wait to see the images :)

FAB shoot with Ceri! Shoot number three.... :) We went to a fantastic waterfall location, and worked around whatever the light was doing. Then on to a derelict barn and a river. It was great fun - Ceri is very easy to talk to, he has a great sense of humour, and he is passionate and enthusiastic about what he does. You know it when he's excited about the images he's taking - I love feedback and encouragement, and Ceri always expresses this.

Ceri works with pretty much whatever you throw at him. Strong sunshine, dark shadows, mucky places - he takes it all in his stride. I like how I feel free to be spontaneous with him - it is liberating. Ceri has the creative vision to work magic with any situation, and such a varied repertoire of skills that he will bring it all to life with such ease.

I just love working with other creative souls - it is always so refreshing! If only we could have continued - my shoots with Ceri fly by - they are way too short!

Looking forward to the next adventure! Thank you Ceri X

I was lucky enough to be invited on a wonderful shoot with this brilliant photographer Ceri and another model not on PP for an awesome magical/mysterious shoot. Brilliant pre communications as always! There was a rough outline for the shoot but boy when we got there that’s when we got creative :D

There was the perfect setting, great outfits, amazing make up artistry and brilliant humans that like to create! I was so happy :D

Literally uber excited to see the final images when they are finished!! Ceri is a really great photographer with great vision and execution that produces some fabulous results.

I will absolutely recommend working witn Ceri and I know it won’t be my last!

Thank you again for such a brilliant shoot that exceeded expectations 😁

Till the next time!

Ceri is pretty awesome, in person and behind the camera. Like myself, Ceri is a creative so it only made sense to collaborate together. From beginning to end our shoot was based in the name of art and we gave it our all to get the shots we wanted. Ceri has an eye for light and his work really flows with it naturally.

I 100% reccomend anyone to work with Ceri. Kind accomodating and will make sure you are home safe.

Thanks for a great day, see you next time

I have wanted to work with Ceri since my modelling career started and his imagery caught my eye then.

Several long years later and we managed to get together for a shoot on my tour in South Wales.

I am so, so glad I did.

Ceri is a delight, an amazing photographer undoubtedly but also the nicest person, great sense of humour, friendly and caring.

I froze my toes off on today's urbex shoot but I know that we created image magic.

I wouldn't lay among broken glass for just anyone!

Ceri - you are awesome, let's make sure the next shoot isn't too far away! :)
