We had to change our original idea due to weather but the idea worked well and the shots were amazing.

Some impromptu posing and using the outside area to obtain some realistic shots of army life on patrol and caught on camera shots

Would highly recommend Ray makes models feel at ease and adds in his own twist to the shoot which come out well

I had the pleasure of working with Ray and it was definitely the best shoot I’ve had so far. Ray has a natural eye for stunning angles and poses, I felt so comfortable the whole process. He gave me amazing guidance and as a new model, learning poses can be very daunting. It was so lovely to work with a photographer with a sense of humour as we were able to get some comedy/ funny shots to help loosen up. He was very welcoming with my ideas and has a very unique touch to his photos.

I have had àn amazing, fun & informative few hours with this lovely man.

Perfect clear & concise direction complete with a side of teaching me how best to use my lighting & lots of laughter.

A true professional & a real gentleman too plus a great sense of humour and a love for all things silly.

I was completely at ease within a very short space of time.

I am soooo excited to do more shoots of the most weird and wonderful themes...

I highly recommend that you shoot with this fantastic photographer

Ray was an absolute pleasure to work with! I also had the pleasure of working with his wife Jenny, along with my second duo shoot with crimson_vixen666. We've been planning to work together for some time and I'm so pleased we finally made it happen was well worth it despite the cold weather we faced. Ray had so many fun props and outfits to pose with. Was definitely fun to get creative in his studio. Ray was very laid back with a humours nature which made the shoot fun, all whilst keeping it professional throughout the shoot. Ray was great with suggesting poses and ideas. I very much look forward to shooting with him again soon as we were already discussing future ideas :)

Had the pleasure of working with Ray for a 2nd time yesterday after I contacted him with regards to an idea me and my partner had. Ray as always did no disappoint. We turned up, everything was set up and he had lots of perfect ideas!! Ray is so professional but at the same time it's such a laugh!! Met his wonderful wife Jenny too who provided food and was so welcoming and friendly, felt so comfortable round them both! The shoot was an absolute success, Ray has already sent me back edited images which are looking amazing!!! Thanks again Ray and Jenny, looking forward to working with you both soon!!! X

I worked with Raymond at a shoot myself and two others had organised. Raymond is lovely to work with. He has a relaxed style which makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable. He thinks up great ideas and is willing to pause to put them into effect. I would happily collaborate and work with Raymond again. We worked at a farm where Raymond and his partner Jenny store multiple outfits and it was lovely thinking of ideas with the clothing and props they had available. I would happily work with Raymond again.

So this was my 3rd shoot with the lovely ray. Ray had asked me if I would like to join him on a shoot with a tornado fighter jet, and I bit his arm off at the chance! The shoot was a 6hr drive but ray took it all in stride and was a joy to be with. Jenny his wife also came with us and made sure we had plenty of snacks for the journey. The time flew by with plenty of singing and laughs on the way. The shoot was amazing and we managed to get some great shots in a short space of time.

Ray is a true gent and I would 100% recommend him to any model.

Thank you ray and Jenny for a great day and look forward to working with you both again soon x

Raymond and his partner Jenny shoot on a farm, the barn of which they rent from the owner and use as part wardrobe/prop store, and part studio space. This works very well. There is parking available and the upper level, where models can get ready, is suprisingly private, though spacious, and there is a big mirror. Shooting on the farm means Ray also has access to a garden filled with apple and pear trees and a crumbling wall which gives the appearance of ruins. It is a versatile setting, which they use effectively.

Ray confessed to being nervous about the shoot due to the quality of my existing portfolio, which was very flattering. He need not have worried. We worked very well as a team and spent a wonderful day playing with props and smoke bombs to create three distinct "looks". The images are reminiscent of starkly lit, brightly coloured 80s fantasy films, which I adore.

Ray and Jenny were very pleasant and easy to talk to, giving direction and taking suggestions in equal measure. I would happily work with them again on another concept.

So yesterday was my first time shooting with Ray and I honestly had the best time! He made me feel at ease as I'm new to modelling and he helped me out so much! He has a lot of props, clothes, costumes, backdrops and creative ideas. He was polite, helpful, kind, friendly and very professional! I can tell he loves what he does and he's good at it! I absolutely can not recommend Ray enough, especially to new models as he gave me so much advice on how the lighting works and what poses looked good. I had a great time and can not wait to shoot again!! Thank you Ray 🖤

I had an incredible shoot with Ray, he & his wife were so kind, helpful & friendly. There is a MASSIVE amount to chose from at the barn, & Ray had lots of ideas for props/themes. He is good at giving direction when needed also. I got loads of images back & Im really chuffed with the results. I can't wait to work with Ray again - such a fun shoot!

Did a duet shoot with a fellow model not on purpleport with view to getting tattoos more visable and play with some ideas and lighting scenery etc.

I have worked with Ray before and as always had fun and felt at ease with some amazing shots.

A second shoot with Ray and another brilliant day. I was lucky enough to work again with both Ray and Jenny who are such fun and creative people. They had so many great ideas and the 4+ hours I was with them just flew by! We got some great images and hopefully we can get together again soon. Thank you!

I absolutley enjoyed working with Ray, He is very profesional, always on time.

He has Loads of costume/outfits to choose from and good choice of back grounds. I met his wife Jenny who is also a photograther. They are both really great people to work with. And I look forward to arranging another shoot soon.

Had a fun and creative shoot with Ray today. I immediatley felt at ease with Ray, as he showed be around the studio set up, which is located at his friend's farm. We did three different sets and Ray provided bubbles and balloons along with other props. I had a fun time and Ray helped me pose and achvieve some specific looks. The shoot flew by and afterwards we reviewed the shots on Ray's laptop,before he downloaded the images to a memory stick for me. Ray and I fed off each other with ideas, and shared laughs. I would recommend Ray to any model of any level of experience. I am looking forward to our next shoot together. Thanks for a great day.

Really love working with Raymond as he was kind and friendly. He was very professional and attentive to our shoot in every single minute. No matter how much time he spent, he had to capture unmistakably images against creative portrait backgrounds.

He had good communication as well, all my messages to him responded promptly.

Well done Raymond, keep up your great work. Wish you continued success!
