Yet another fab shoot with Ramees. This time at his home which has a lovely bright loft area to shoot in. As usual, Ramees was lovely, full of ideas, encouraged my own, and was great to work with.

Ramees was very accommodating, ensuring I was comfortable and he even cooked me lunch. The loft space is awesome, has tons of light, a bed to shoot on, a set of stairs and a window to shoot in.

Always a pleasure, highly recommended

I worked with Ramees for the first time a few days ago while I was in Wales.

Ramees booked me for the day and we spent it working our way through quite a few ideas- from portraits, to nudes and some vintage thrown in for good measure- mostly on film too.

We had a productive shoot- in-between all our chatting and my show and tell session of all Ramees' guitars-!

I also found Ramees' vintage magazine collection very interesting and I felt very inspired looking at the images in them.

Ramees had a good shooting space upstairs in the newly finished attic extension.

I am sure myself an Ramees will be shooting again- it would be cool to re-visit the vintage themes. :)

Thank you, Ramees.

I shot with Ramees again today and what a lovely soul he is.. such a sweet and caring person our shoots seem to fly by and we always manage to create something very different and unique

I love his quirky style and that he shoots on films

We're hitting off my photo bucket list pretty quickly but also inspiring lots of new ideas at the same time

Ramees is a legend. Can't wait to work with him again

I spent such a wonderful day with Ramees on my last trip south.

He shot me at a home studio in Chippenham where I was based and brought the most incredibly impressive wardrobe you have ever seen, with the most stunning vintage items :)

We worked our way through several different sets and themes (after I managed to de tangle his necklace collection hhaha!!) and the whole day was so relaxed and a true pleasure.

I would love to work with him again and can happily recommend him to others :D

Ramees is just amazing! We have been talking for over a year about shooting and yesterday we finally got round to doing so!

From meeting Ramees at the station it was like greeting an old friend. Ramees is such a gentleman, funny and completely respectful of models.

Not only did he bring his lovely self he also brought the biggest suitcase of vintage clothing I've ever seen. It was such a treat to dress up in some really beautiful garments and Ramees has put so much thought into creating the aesthetic that makes his work stand out so much!

We shot through a series of looks and themes and unusually used exclusively film, even though it was a full days shoot it just flew in!

I would absolutely recommend Ramees to any model, not only does he treat models well and is such lovely company a days shoot is also a really creative experience.

Thank you so much Ramees, it was a fantastic shoot and I very much look forward to working with you again soon!

100% Highly recommended.

My 3rd shoot with Ramees. loved it!

We have such a good time, Ramees shoots on film and I love it, 100% recommended. Ramees now has his own studio space, its perfect and the natural light is just gorgeous. cant wait to go back :)

I worked with Ramees recently for the second time, he is always a pleasure to work with!

As always, he came very well prepared with a large selection of vintage clothing which I love, so much that we ran out of time to shoot most of it! Even though we booked 8 hours it went so fast, mostly due to his frienly personality as we chatted away.

Ramees came to my home to shoot, where I do many shoots, and made use of the natural light inside and outdoors.

Will work together again, and recommended from me :)

I had a great shoot with Ramees in early May. The shoot went like a dream and the space he uses has wonderful light flooding in from all angles.

Ramees had lots of ideas and was fully prepared with inspiring images to help us get going. We had good fun playing with his collection of vintage clothing, mixing and matching alongside some bits I brought along.

It was nice to work with someone who still uses film, being a photographer myself the knowledge he had to give was fab!

He is a true gem to work with, lots of tea, great food and an awesome tog!

Highly recommended!

Thanks for an awesome shoot, hopefully work with you again in the near future :)

Ramees is such a lovely person to work with.

He was kind enough to get me a lift from the station to his home studio which has amazing natural lighting that I found very flattering.

8 hours flew by and we were never stuck for ideas with all the clothes and jewellery he provides.

Great sense of humour, endless cups of tea and to top off the perfect shoot I was fed dinner at the end before my train.

Highly recommend and I hope to shoot with Ramees again soon.

I absolutely LOVE working with Ramees! We have worked together a handful of times over the years and this was another lovely day- this time at Ramees' beautiful home in Newport.

Ramees and his family have put a great deal of effort, thought and work into the construction and renovation of the attic room which is now such a lovely space to shoot- very airy, with windows either side for ventilation, lovely carpeting and great white walls to shoot against.

It was my first time shooting here and I was really impressed with the workmanship and attention to detail, it such a lovely space to be proud of and perfect for photography!

Ramees as always had a wide selection of gorgeous vintage gowns, dresses, skirts, shoes and jewellery for the model to wear from various friends of his and antique shops he has purchased from. These are so unique and lovely to wear- and I always go away feeling super inspired to invest in some 1970s clothing!! :)

I had a full day with Ramees and he made me feel so welcome- the house is lovely and spacious and the garden was fantastic to shoot in too. We were very lucky with the weather and had a gorgeous day. Ramees loves to shoot on film aswell as digital which is also such a lovely change to the norm.

He is very hospitable and kind, lunch was provided and I really enjoy his company. The day flew by with lots of laughter and great results. I also SO loved listening to the old records from years gone by (which reminds me that I must get a record player!!) and Ramees is so knowledgeable and interesting to talk to about music. He also is a great guitarist!

Ramees has become a dear friend of mine and always makes me smile- thankyou Ramees and until the next time! Helen x

Ramees is definitely one of my favorite people to work with we have worked together about 4 times now I think? Yesterday it was at his home in his fabulous attic space which is so cool! We did some sets in there and some in his garden which worked out so so well.

I always feel so welcome by Ramees and I even got treated to an amazing curry which tasted so so good! Also green tea ;)

We always have so much fun and a laugh on our shoots and a great chat

Ramees is so creative and I love how he uses film and his amazing clothes I get to wear :)

I would say he's a great friend now and I look forward to our next shoot so much!

Highly Recommended to everyone such a lovely person! xx

Another wonderful shoot with the lovely Ramees! This time I had the honor of shooting at his home, I felt very welcome and very looked after, lots of tea and even a home made curry! Ramees house is a dream to shoot a huge attic and garden along side the most incredible wardobe of vintage clothes and cameras! I felt like I was in biba heaven !!

Ramees has quickly become one of my favourite people to shoot with always a true gentleman and very interesting to talk with so much so we have on a few occasions forgot we were surposed to be shooting!

Already excited for our next shoot and wondering what incredible clothes he will bring next.

Highly recommend this top guy !!

Thanks again Ramees x

What can I say other than I loved shooting with Ramees.

The shoot was creative and so much fun. He is very professional and great fun to be around, we had loads to talk about and there was never a dull moment.

Ramees had hundreds of outfits to choose from and let me pick out what I liked which was great. We used natural light and a lot of the shoot was taken on film which I totally loved, it's nice to see the old cameras and he even showed me how they worked etc. I felt so welcome in Ramees' home studio and his mother is literally the loveliest woman, constantly offering cups of tea and food, what more can you ask for!

I came away from a great shoot with a new friend, I cannot recommend working with him enough!

Can't wait to shoot again soon, thank you for hospitality Ramees 😊😊

I had a very relaxed creative shoot with the lovely Ramees - he was respectful, professional and friendly throughout, and we had lots to chat about! Ramees brought huge suitcases full of outfits, and kindly let me pick my favourite; as well as ensuring the pace was not too fast and offering plenty of breaks! We made the best of very limited natural light (essential for this type of shoot), and I hope we get to work together again some day! All the best!

Helen Diaz

I worked with the lovely Ramees again on a full day shoot at home and had such a great day! Some parts of it were in absolute hysterics, but that is usually how out shoots go!!! Ramees is such a relaxed and laid back photographer- it always feels like you are shooting with an old friend (well, Ramees is now definately a friend!) and so the photos produced are very natural which is really refreshing to see. I also love the film cameras Ramees brings along with him to each shoot- it takes more patience to sit still, but so worth it!

Ramees also brings along a digital camera so we can see what the light is like as we go along, which is very helpful. I absolutely love Ramees' vintage clothes collection too! If he ever has a clear out I am first in line!

He has some stunning 60s dresses which I love wearing on shoots. Its so nice and refreshing for a photographer to bring their own wardrobe. Ramees is such a colourful, eccentric and endearing character, I always go away from the shoot in high spirits. Thankyou Ramees and I really look forward to seeing your finished photographic space in May!

Highly recocommended to all models and creatives, a lovely person wth a heart of gold, Helen x

I worked with the lovely Ramees again, just before Christmas and had an absolute blast! We have worked together a few times now and I consider him a friend. I always find his company very energetic, endearing and full of fun! Every single shoot he makes me smile and laugh my head off!!

He is very passionate and ethusiastic about photography and always arrives to the shoot with suitcases full to the brim of vintage clothing and accessories- honestly every girls dream! Ramees is such a lovely person, very considerate, kind, sweet and instantly likeable. I also love the fact that he incorporates film into the shoot, aswell as digital.

He had never been to a photography social before and decided on a whim to go along with me to the Bristol Social after our shoot that day (just before Christmas)- I thought he would be shy but everyone absolutely loved him and he was a complete social butterfly!! Every shoot is a joy and so much fun- looking forward to our next shoot which is very soon! Highly recommended, Thankyou Ramees :) Helen x
