“I consider myself privileged to have mastered organic disciplines - getting it right in camera, before embracing digital photography and Photoshop as a complement rather than a remedy. You don’t capture a photograph, you make it!"
Working from a well equipped studio in Camden, London, Ray specialises in still life, liquids, drinks, SFX, portraits and physical artistry.
“I enjoy working with UK and international clients and appreciate how crossing cultural boundaries enriches knowledge and style of photography. In this age of information and communication revolution, language is being devalued as images become increasingly important to communicate across boundaries.”

showcase magazine May 2016 london issue 600
Ray Massey still life photographers
"Having emerged from technical and creative backgrounds, 'Visual Engineering' best describes what I do.
I consider myself fortunate to have mastered an understanding of organic photography, "getting it right in camera" before embracing the digital medium.
I believe that photography and retouching are inextricably part of the same process of image creation and like to merge both disciplines early in the process, often encouraging the re-toucher to be involved in the shoot as Digi-Op.
Wherever possible I like to oversee the job to the end to ensure that creative and client achieve the result they imagined."

showcase magazine Sep 2015 london issue 545
Ray Massey still life photographers
"Based in a converted church hall in Camden, my passion for photography emerges from creative and engineering backgrounds. Having gained much experience before the advent of Photoshop, I consider myself priviliged to be one of few photographers able to merge an understanding of 'organic' photography whilst embracing everything digital.
"Photography and retouching are inextricably part of the same process of image creation. Photography and retouching often happen simultaneously. I often involve my retouchers in the capacity of digital operator at the shooting stage as I believe it is imperative that photography and retouching retain a common thread."

spotlight magazine May 2015 cars, transportation & landscape photography + motion
London: Ray Massey
"In an effort to find new styles and approaches, Chromedia, the in-house Porsche marketing studio, recently approached a number of photographers who were not noted for car work and ask that they provide proposals and themes for a series of images of the new Porsche Macan for a “coffee table" book.
I was lucky enough to be furnished with one of the few existing prototypes which I spent a few enjoyable days shooting in a car studio in London, and then on location in Cornwall. Bright sunshine, sunsets and photoshopped blurry roads were not on my agenda, so I went for a very 'organic' wet and wild, black-on-black with lots of water thrown in!
Porsche loved the shots and came back and asked me to shoot the latest GT2 Cayenne for an advertising brief celebrating 50 years' racing, on a road trip from Stuttgart to the Porsche Design studio in Zel Am See, through the Austrian Tyrol and down to the historic Targa Florio race circuit in the Sicilian mountains where Porsche first cut its teeth as a successful racing marque 50 years ago."
