Rapture Pro

Let’s be honest, some shoots are just work. This wasn’t one of them.

Working with him felt easy. Natural. The kind of energy you don’t have to force. He’s calm in a way that settles the room, but still fun enough that you forget you’re technically “working.” And me? I showed up exactly as I am, fully unapologetically, and he met me there. No friction, no awkwardness. Just two people creating something that felt real.

What stood out to me the most wasn’t even the camera, it was the human behind it. He’s been through a lot, you can feel it in him. But instead of shutting down, he showed up. He chose to be present. And somewhere between the laughter, the chaos of “wait, do you mean this pose?” and us going back and forth trying to figure out his directions, which are honestly hilarious sometimes, something shifted. We got there. Every time.

And the results? Clean. Intentional. The lighting, the angles, he knows what he’s doing. There’s a quiet confidence in his work. You don’t question it.

But beyond all of that, we made a kind of unspoken agreement. I wanted him to be okay, genuinely okay. And while he didn’t give me some dramatic promise, he gave me something better.
“I’ll book you again, so you can check my progress.”

That told me everything. He’s trying. He’s moving. He hasn’t given up.

And that matters.

I’ll work with him again, no hesitation. Not just because he’s a good photographer, which he is, but because he’s someone worth showing up for. Someone you want to see win.

So yes, absolutely, I recommend him.

An excellent and productive shoot. Huw is incredibly personable and easy to get along with. Communication was clear and I knew exactly what to expect going in. He was respectful of boundaries and levels, including while helping me with some of the fiddlier costume elements. When I had my own suggestions for additional shot options, he was very receptive to them. He was also kind enough to pick me up and drop me back off near my house. Would recommend and hope to shoot with him again sometime :)

I had a brilliant, last minute first shoot with Rapture at my home. What a lovely surprise it was, I’m so glad we shot together! From the initial message Rapture was very easy to correspond with. He’s been into model photography for a long time, so he’s well versed in how everything works.
He’s very good with natural light and also had his own lighting equipment which he brought along. He was professional throughout, very friendly and easy to chat to, an all-round pleasure to work with. Rapture has a unique way of working which is very relaxed, not at all rushed, and really gets the best out of the model. Rather than trying to rush through various sets, he really ‘settles’ into the situation - trying various different takes on the lighting, encouraging you to pose freely and naturally, embracing movement in the images and experimenting until we achieve the very best image. I really enjoyed that way of working and was able to learn a lot from him. He is comfortable giving direction, and is also very open to my suggestions and embracing little opportunities as they arise, be that due to the lighting, the way my outfit moved, or a particular setting in my home. It felt like a very natural flow of creativity. He took some really breathtaking images, my jaw dropped looking at the back of the camera several times! I can definitely recommend him to other models. Thank you for the chance to work together and I very much hope we repeat again soon! Anna

I had my first shoot with Rapture yesterday, and I couldn't have asked for a better photographer to shoot with! Working with passionate and enthusiastic people is what I enjoy most about modelling.

He is down to earth, easy to get along with and an all round professional photographer and a wonderful gentleman too! He has a great eye for composition and details, and he isn't afraid to direct and correct poses as and when needed for a better shot, which I truly appreciate. Additionally, he most definitely is not afraid to try new things and step out of his comfort zone.

The pre-comms before shooting were great, about themes and ideas. We shot a range of styles in different locations including outdoors in an old church ruins for a moody theme and artistic nude and the time flew by and I could have shot all day with him :)

The images I have seen at the back of the camera have turned out absolutely amazing.. I cannot wait to see the end result! I would highly recommend working with Rapture if you have not already! :)

Thanks for an amazing shoot.

I have no words to describe the fabulous person Huw is! Our first photoshoot was really exciting, we went to different spots around Huw area in a field to catch that natural lovely light and we did some photos at his house/studio that I love the results and I always love the high key in photography is one of my favs and with this talented photographer of course it was an absolutely beautiful result!! I never meet someone who is so professional and talented but also such an amazing human being it is very hard to find, he is just 10/10 for me!! I am so happy with the results and already thinking ? about a 2nd photoshoot and I know for sure we will rock it! Huw is just one of those person you will want to work many times and be so happy about the images but also about meeting someone who is

a truly gentleman, fun, relax, and everything that is right!! I recommend him 110%!! Thank you for everything Huw!! Loveeee our pics!!!

I'm so late with this review I'm so sorry been having a break from modelling but couldn't not leave Huw anything short of a a glowing reference. Not only was every single image shot amazing but he's a true gentleman and I was truly impressed with his creative skill, patience and preservation as we shot in a studio setting and on location all in one day. He was fantastic company and I had an unforgettable and enjoyable time. I recommend Huw to any model, he's a total joy to work with and his photos left me with newfound confidence in modelling. Anyone would be lucky to work with him. Thank you Huw!

Huw responded to my last minute availability casting and I'm sooo glad he did! He picked me up from the train station, so we had a little chat in the car and I was already happy with our communication as Huw was extremely friendly and chatty. We were shooting in his house, in several outfits (Huw has a large luggage of colourful clothes!). I can't believe how creative he is and how good are the pictures! I am sooo happy with working with this talented photographer and hopefully I will have opportunity to shoot with him again! Highly recommended!
