It's not only Ray's ability to swim in wide open slabs but his command of light, variety and pure passion for chasing that 'perfect image' that will propel him for many years to come.

A profound depth to the quality of his photofgraphy for only shooting such a short time. Nothing gimmicky, no smoke and mirrors, just a beautiful show of waves and surfing.

Ray either displays a fierce dedication to his craft, or he is a complete lunatic...

If only more photographers were like Ray Collins, life would be a breeze. He's so easy to work with and one talented chap too. When Riptide receives a package of images from him, we're excited as we know there's going to be plenty of gold inside...

Being keen is one thing, but when you're keen and have the skills to nail any job required - that's when I know I have great photographer on staff. Ray's work has been printed upon the pages of le BOOGIE since day one and with each nearing deadline he continues to blow our minds.
Give him a boarding pass and a camera bag and he is sure to bring his own unique style to any brief - every time.

Ray's well and truly got the eye. Thoughtful, creative, and always looking for a different way to display what he sees in front of him...
