Couldn't have had a better experience!!

Pre-communication was amazing knew exactly what was expected of me and had lots of room to have my own input and sugguestions before and during the shoot!

There was no limitations he expressed himself well when given direction and made the shoot extremely enjoyable with laughter smiles and screams (screams for expression to capture the idea)

Very helpful and respectful between outfit changes, often made sure I was happy with images as we went along and encouraged my input in ideas. Was on time and pre-ready to shoot. Made sure we had the best of the studios to work in

Highly Recommend and can't wait for our future arrangements

Had my first shoot with Ceri today and it was amazing !

From start to finish we made amazing images together and instantly connected and bounced off eachorher.

Ceri was full of ideas and made full use of my place.

Can't wait to see the end result!

Until our next adventure !

Highly recommended !

I’ve lost count of how many shoots me and Ceri have done together, but with every shoot our trust with each other has grown and grown.

Ceri is the first photographer in a year and a half that I have happily upped my levels with. This speaks volumes for him, not only as a photographer but as a person too.

The shoot was amazing, the photos look amazing, and I can’t wait to shoot together again.

Another great shoot.

Ceri is just awesome, fun to work with, professional and we always get great result.

Thank you so much for yesterdays shoot, cant wait for next one :)

Highly recommend.

Ceri knew this was my first shoot in a long time and first art nude ever and he did his best in making me feel comfortable and at ease. Ceri made the effort to come meet me before shooting to discuss what we both wanted and everything I would need to bring, we also had cake, and this is always a bonus.

Shoot day Ceri was organised and efficient, he gave me the direction I needed as a new model and produced some amazing shots. I can’t wait to work with him again on some of the ideas we discussed :).

Had the pleasure of assisting and working alongside Ceri yesterday on a shoot with my partner, LittleOwl.

Though I was a bit nervous initially (comes with the territory of being the boyfriend of a top model) and hadn't intended to take any images myself as I was supposed to be acting as a look-out until the weather turned, Ceri put my fears to bed instantly.

Friendly, easygoing and professional, Ceri was kind enough to not only let me take a few of my own shots during the shoot but show me a few tips and tricks as well. He's fantastic at what he does and I couldn't have hoped for the day to go better if I tried.

Top bloke, it was great to meet you Ceri and thanks again for such a fun day.

Highly recommended.

So today I got to finally shoot with the powerhouse that is Ceri Vale, alongside Angel Illustrations

on a variety levels in what I can only describe as the largest and most epic urbex I've ever seen! Man, what a brilliant shoot!

It's always a little nerve wracking going to work with some of the big names in the scene but Ceri couldn't have been more friendly and easygoing from the get-go. Communications with him prior to and during the shoot were fab, especially as he has a great sense of humour (not to mention taste in music - every shoot should start with Saxon!) and is full of enthusiasm, creative ideas and perspectives. He gives good direction if needed to really enhance a shot and has a great eye for atmospheric imagery, particularly where it gave me the chance to do some expressive works and scare the locals!

An absolutely lovely guy, Ceri was very open to ideas and suggestions and allowed me a lot of creative freedom with my posing, taking short notice fire breathing photography (not easy!) in his stride alongside everything else and totally nailing it in the process! Professional, organised, funny and very generous with his photographic knowledge, we got some absolutely beautiful, badass and quirky images from the shoot and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. As did my partner, whom I'm pretty sure is now raising the bar on his photography techniques thanks to Ceri.

I'd happily recommend working with this fun, talented gentleman to anyone and I'm so psyched to see the final images!

Thanks for such an awesome shoot Ceri, hopefully we won't wait quite as long as we did initially til the next one! ;)

Had the pleasure of shooting with this awesome being for the second time today! It felt like everything was against us... I was late and google maps decided to take me on a detour, then the weather was crap... So thanks to Ceri we had an alternative plan B :D

When we finally met up, it was a great relief to see his face and then the excitement kicked in. It was an absolutely amazing location and somewhere dry to shelter from all the rain.. I don’t know why we would expect anything else in Wales haha!

Ceri is great with a camera and has great ideas for composition and finding little pockets of lovely natural light.

We then dared to do a bit of art nude outside which was great fun if a little risky ;) I really really enjoyed shooting today and can only thank you for putting up with me. So excited to see the edits.... Eeeekkk!

Highly recommended to all models,

A million thanks

I have been a long time admirer of the awesome Ceri Vale and I finally got the chance to shoot with him recently, he did not disappoint!

We initially met in Cardiff and did some fashion street style photography with a touch of candid portraits and then moved onto an epic location that Ceri had found. This is when we really just let loose! From the first shot to the last, Ceri just mastered the light and the location.

The day just flew by! It’s great when you work with someone who is incredibly easy to get along with, polite, friendly and professional and an awesome photographer!

Highly recommended!

Thank you for our shoot and hope to work with you again soon 😊

What a great way to end the year! As a new model and considering we met on the day we shot, Ceri made me feel incredibly comfortable! He is such a gem. Gave great advice and motivation. He knew exactly what was needed to create a superb shoot. By having such a welcoming, warming, friendly personality it helped create a great bond between us and with that we achieved a lot more than expected with remarkable pictures. Ceri is very talented at what he does and I highly recommend working with him.

Bobby Lee Bradley

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, what an awesome photographer!

Ceri creates an idea in his head and is able to portray that idea perfectly with his camera.

There’s never a dull moment with Ceri, he’s so chatty and fun to be around.

We have so many shoots to come this year and I can’t wait for them.

Work with Ceri..you will NOT be disappointed x

Well, what to say... Ceri and I have messaged a couple of times over the last year with a shoot happening in mind.. We finally arranged a date and then boom! First thing that made me relax was his laugh as he pulled up beside my car in his and saw me with my rollers still in... Great guy, with a great sense of humour and a brilliant way with a camera. He took me to a beautiful location in the heart of South Wales where we had the place to yourselves with no hooomans to disturb.. Shot after shot was epic! I would happily reccomend working with Ceri to all models, new and experienced.

Thanks again for such a great shoot, I shall look forward to the next.

Many thanks

I love working with Ceri. He just gets it. He knows his light, knows his composition, knows how to have a huge giggle and produce amazing images.

Today I met with him and Melany and we shot in a pretty tricky location. It was doubly hard on Ceri to have two of us to capture in tough lighting conditions and from what I saw today he did an amazing job. Incredibly happy with what we did today and excited to see the edits.

Ceri as a person is friendly, intelligent and so much fun to be around. He's just an all-around fab guy and incredibly talented photographer and it's a pleasure to work with him. If you get the chance to shoot with him you should definitely take it.

Thank youuuu Ceri - next one soooon! x

Today was my second working with Ceri and I was very much looking forward to it following the success of our first shoot. As always his pre-shoot comms were spot on and he'd sorted out a super cool derelict location for myself and the awesomely talented Raine-Cera.

I love the way Ceri works, he puts a lot of effort into getting it right whilst allowing you to put forward ideas and try things out. His direction is great and he's full of suggestions of how to take poses to the next level. We were working in a very tricky space with limited light and yet Ceri captured some superb images and I was very impressed with the quality and variety of shots.

Ceri is so easy to work with, lots of fun and super friendly. 100% highly recommended and I look forward to the next shoot! :)

3rd shoot with Ceri.

In few words - Ceri is awesome, great photographer with amazing personality.

If you ever have a chance to work with him, you won't regret it.

Thank you so much for today, look forward to our next shoot :)

Highly recommended.

Bobby Lee Bradley

I feel so lucky to have met Ceri, and even luckier that we live so close to eachother. If I could shoot with Ceri every day I would, because the outcome is always phenomenal.

Ridiculously talented photographer, with the most friendly personality.

Obviously highly recommended!

Got to model with the lovely Ceri again for the millionth time the other day. Ceri always has so many cool locations to go and shoot at and is such a joy to model for. So we got to shoot at a beautiful abandoned church which gave me lots of ideas. Of course Ceri brought all the equipment he needed for the shoot and even played with a few lights outside which is not usually like him at all.

We got so many fabulous photos together and I have already seen a few edited. Of course we will be working with each other again in the future. I urge other models to model for Ceri. He is really easy going.

Ana-Ray

Ceri is just awesome! He always arrives on time and images are truely amazing. He's a top guy to work with so i can't wait till next month when we shoot again.

Ceri is one of the best creatives so of course i recommend him 😎

Miss Versatile

Had my 2nd shoot with Ceri, it was all planned and booked in within about a fortnight of our first shoot!

I had such a good time. Ceri made sure that the lighting was perfect and he got the result he wanted. I love the images, they're really different to anything else I've done!

Already planning our 3rd and 4th shoot together.

Work with Ceri guys, you will not be disappointed. Amazing images and such an amazing personality xo
