Raymond is our gentleman Ambassador. He has a charm and friendliness, which draws people to him, so much so that he gives up most of his weekends with casual groups of photographers showing them his techniques and favourite locations.

“I love the the North West coast, the light changes so much and makes every day unique. It can be a challenge, getting to know the the tides and seas, which has a personality of its own, to get the right mood and of course for safety.”

A self taught photographer, Ray was once a semi-pro goal keeper and played at Wembley Stadium. From Wallasey on the Wirral near Liverpool, Ray has become well known for his stunning images of marooned boats on Meols beach at low tide. He knows every single one of them by name. A huge advocate of NiSi filters, Ray discovered NiSi after using Lee for many years, and he is always willing to help and advise others.

Ray has over the last two years built up a reputation and following for his style of photography and his enthusiasm.
