RS Photographics

I initially used Rowan for our family photo shoot having been recommended to us from others locally. We were really impressed with the results but also how well he organised the shoot (not easy with ages ranging from 1yrs old to 80yrs old!). I have now asked Rowan to work with me professionally in the real estate industry and he continues to impress. Thoroughly recommend

Rowan Smith Photographics. Rowan is a great guy and highly professional photographer with a long history in almost all photographic genres and an artistic background that gives him a distinct edge.

We hired Rowan to take sales photography for a helicopter based in Cannes Mandelieu airport, and the results exceeded expectations. The images were incredibly professional, with perfect lighting, angles, and attention to detail that really highlighted the aircraft’s design and luxury appeal. He understood exactly how to present the helicopter for a high-end sales audience and delivered photos that looked both elegant and technically precise. The shoot was organised, efficient, and enjoyable from start to finish. If you need premium aviation photography in Cannes, especially for sales or marketing purposes, I highly recommend Rowan and his team!

Rowan Smith is, without question, one of the most exceptional photographers I have ever encountered. What separates Rowan from the endless sea of technically competent photographers is not simply skill — it is perception. He sees people. Not the surface version they perform for the world, but something deeper, quieter, more truthful. The images he creates possess an extraordinary emotional intelligence and cinematic depth that is incredibly rare. From the very first interaction, the experience felt calm, elegant, intuitive, and utterly professional. Rowan has that elusive quality shared by truly gifted artists: the ability to make complex things appear effortless. There is no ego, no unnecessary theatre, no insecurity masquerading as “creative temperament” — only complete focus, generosity of spirit, and an uncompromising commitment to excellence. The final photographs genuinely stunned me. They were not merely flattering or beautiful; they felt alive. Layered. Atmospheric. Timeless. Every frame carried intention, sensitivity, composition, and soul. The lighting, colour, texture, and emotional nuance were on a level I associate more with fine art cinema or major editorial work than standard portrait photography. In an era where so much imagery feels disposable, Rowan creates photographs that people will keep for decades. An extraordinary talent and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highest possible recommendation.
