I worked with Ramees recently and had an amazing time!

Such a lovely personality, we got along so well, and he had so many ideas! He was VERY well prepared with a massive selection of amazing vintage outfits, I would have loved to model them all!

Communications were great too, and we were able to plan the shoot with ease.

I look forward to working with Ramees again, highly recommended from me! :)

I worked with the lovely Ramees again recently at a beautiful location I know in Wales! Ramees is such a joy to work with, so enthusiastic, positive and upbeat, its impossible not to love shooting with him! We have worked together before and I consider him a lovely friend of mine.

I collected Ramees from the station and we started the first part of the full day shoot at my home as the weather was not so great! Ramees was patient, creative and came fully prepared with a range of different cameras to use and lots of beautiful vintage clothings and accessories. For the second part of the day we grabbed lunch and then went up to the ruined chapel location I know in the local area.

The weather was hit and miss but warm and we took lots of beautiful photos on a mixture of digital and film- even some in the rain towards the end of the shoot which was alot of fun! Ramees was also very kind and arrived with a card and present as he had remembered it was my birthday a few days earlier. Ramees is such a gentleman and always makes me laugh, he is such a humble, sweet and kind person. The day went by so fast and we had such a blast! The photos looked beautiful on the back of the camera and I am really looking forward to seeing how the film photos came out.

Thankyou for such a lovely, memorable day! Highly recommended to all models and creatives, a lovely person, Helen x

Where do I start... :)

Me and Ramees had been messaging each other for about 2 years and I was so so pleased we eventually managed to book in a shoot

I knew from all the messages we would instantly get on and we did!

It honestly felt like we were old mates meeting up, we had such a good chat and laugh I could have stayed there talking to him for hours!

Ramees booked an amazing place for us to shoot it was so nice it couldn't have been any better

We got some amazing images inside and outside with some lovely alpacas I loved it! They were so cute :)

He brought along some amazing outfits and accessories

This was one of my best shoots and I hope we can shoot again I would love to wear some of those dresses :D

HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommended what a lovely warm friendly genuine man!

Thank you for such a good shoot x

I had the the pleasure of meeting and working with Ramees at Kas & Lances Place. Before our shoot we shared messages and from these I knew Ramees was very friendly and down to earth before we met. Even from his messages it is clear he wears his heart on his sleeve and is very passionate about his photography and all that goes with it. On the day Ramees was over and above the sweet man I expected. :D He is so warm, friendly and open. He is trustworthy, genuine and you know he is a man you will get no ego or bullshit from.....he is THE most humble person. :D The day flew by and we shot lots of great images on film mostly, which I really enjoyed. Working with Ramees feels like working with a friend :D He is a great photographer and is also happy to listen to any suggestions and asks for your opinion on things, which makes for great team work and is really appreciated :) I love the images I have seen from the shoot :) Ramees did a superb job and the day was a total pleasure :)

Thanks so much for a wonderful shoot :D Highly recommended :D x

My second shoot with rameese

would just like to say firstly a big thankyou for being the most polite and friendly photographer that i have yet to come by.

we had a 8 hour shoot at my home - normally after 2 hours on a home shoot i start to get 'bored' but not with rameese , both shoots few by !

He made the upmost use out of my home, and put his creative imagination to good use, it was a blast, honeslty my most favourite photographer and its all down to his good nature , fynny humor and proffessional attitude

Please models if the opportunity arises to shoot with rameese snap it up - it will be the best thing you ever do !

Thankyou for the best day of my week and i look forward to seeing you soon

I did my first shoot with Ramees and it was a brilliant shoot despite starting later than planned due to a lack of camera.

As soon as I met Ramees, I could see he was such a lovely character.

His pre communications before the shoot were amazing, we both shared a pinterest board full of ideas for the shoot. Ramees came with lots of vintage clothes, which were stunning and I loved trying them on.

It was a dull and grey day, but even still, we managed to get some good pictures.

It was so lovely to have met ramees, I was expecting a really nice person due to his nice manner in communications and I wasn't wrong!

I am really looking forward to working with Ramees again, He has a true passion in improving himself as a photographer, which for me is inspiring!

I highly recommend Ramees! He's just so lovely and great to work with!

Thanks Ramees :)

Had my second shoot with Ramees today at my home & I thoroughly enjoyed it! I thought Ramees was moving in the amount of stuff he'd brought with him! Very prepared and full of ideas :)

Ramees is a genuinely lovely guy who loves photography and who I've always felt totally comfortable working with. He is fun, chatty and full of energy.

Thanks again for a great shoot!

Shot with Ramees this Saturday just gone and it feels like its been ages in the planning!

Above all else the first and most important thing to mention about Ramees is what a lovely person he is. From the moment he turned up he was polite full of energy and even though we had great communication before the shoot - he briefed me well on arrival of what he was looking to achieve image wise.

Full of ideas and always willing to try new techniques to get the shot - we had a great time on the shoot and Ramees was happy to let me interpret his ideas in my way also. The wardrobe he has collected of vintage dresses is admirable and I felt like I was a retro 60's girl in my floral dress and specs!

I've seen Ramees' portfolio grow alot over time and each shoot it goes from strength to strength showing he really does take on board advice and able to fine tune his style. I look forward to watching you grow with your photography and hope this isn't the last time we shoot before I retire!

Many Thanks and highly recommended by me to any model without hesitation.

So the shoot had been booked with Ramees for a while and I had been looking forward to it! Ramees's communication was absolutely brilliant during the lead up to the shoot. He is such a friendly, kind and enthusiastic person! he told me he was bringing a few dresses to the shoot, but what he brought was out of this world! So many beautiful, exquisite dresses in a vintage style. I was spoiled for choice (every girls dream!) - we worked as a team to sort the location and accessories.We had 6 hours booked, and I can honestly say it was so much fun, very relaxing and the images on the back of the camera looked divine. There wasn't a dull moment during the shoot, Ramees was very creative and took a few photos with his film camera. I cannot wait to see the final results. Thanks so much for a great day Ramees, and I look forward to working with you again soon.

Hurray! I had my second shoot with Ramees on Saturday :) Once again he made the journey from Newport via public transport (brave) to my house in Bristol - A good start! He arrived armed with a very large suitcase packed full of absolute vintage gems, safe to say I was pleased.

I was happy to learn that Ramees had brought with him two Mamiya film cameras to play with, as last time it was broken! We spent the day recreating some scenes from our first shoot on film and also coming up with new ideas, listening to music and having a good old chinwag.

It is always a pleasure to shoot with Ramees, I can't wait to see the results :D

Highly recommended, looking forward to our next shoot.

Shot with Ramees for the first time and what a lovely guy!! His pre shoot comms were amazing, he came knowing exactly what he wanted to get out of the shoot, and even had an awesome selection of clothes and shoes to shoot in! He was fun and easy to work with and would definitely love to work with him again! :)

I worked with the lovely Ramees at my home today and had such a lovely shoot! Ramees is truly a character in a million- you instantly warm to him and feel comfortable working together. He has a lovely, charming personality and is so easy to talk to and work with. He is also professional, kind and considerate and the shoot was at a very relaxed pace with plenty of green tea breaks :)

Ramees went to the effort of hopping on a train from Newport and got a taxi to my home for the shoot with a very large suitcase full of the brim of beautiful 1970s and vintage inspired dresses and boots to use for the shoot. I had so much fun trying these beautiful dresses and blouses on and we achieved some stunning photos using the natural light around the house using his three different cameras! He is so passionate about photography and is a truly lovely person to work with.

Highly recommended and I hope we work together again soon :) Thankyou for a lovely day, Helen x

I shot with Ramees for the first time today at my home - What a wonderful day! Ramees made the arduous journey to my house bringing with him some of his eclectic and beautiful vintage wardrobe! We got through a good variation of different styles and really pushed the boat out :) Ramees is a very respectful photographer with a brilliant set of inspirations that really shine through in his work, I have truly enjoyed meeting and working with him. Thanks again, highly recommended!

Ramees is a very quirky, fun photographer.

I personally found shooting with him very fun. We shoot a location shoot in Bristol city centre which was great fun.

His relaxed approach makes you feel very at ease and doesn't make you nervous in the slightest.

He is a lovely man who produces good images. I would deffinatly recomend working with him and would be happy to do so again.

I had the pleasure of working with Ramees last week at my home, We hit it off from the start.

Ramees is very kind and friendly in his nature, very good company.

I really loved shooting Ramees ideas, which were retro, 1960's/60's style of imagery and his camera equipment were really cool too. I look forward to seeing the results.

Ramees is very nice person, who respects his models and is a lot of fun to shoot with.

I can only highly recommend him to other models and creatives out there.

Thank you

Carla :)

I had a really fun, chilled shoot with Ramees on Saturday. He was on time and very professional. We chatted for a while before we started shooting which meant that both him and me felt at ease and comfortable with each other. Ramees was very friendly and had many ideas while we were shooting. Ramees did not act inappropriately in any way and was caring, kind and professional. I like the ideas that he has and the fact that they are completely different from what is considered the norm nowadays. He very much likes using old cameras which I think is brilliant, you do not see much of this kind of work these days and it is refreshing to see such a unique piece of equipment being used to create photographic fashion. Ramees is very passionate about his work and very keen to try new ideas. I can't wait to see the images that we produced. I just know that they will be some very interesting shots. I thoroughly recommend Ramees.

Had a great shoot with Ramees at Stefano's studio, he had great pre communications, was good fun to work with and brought along lots of ideas which was awesome. We also shot on film too which was extra cool :)

Would definitely work with him again! Highly recommended!!
