About me

Young woman sitting cross-legged on wooden chair by sheer curtained window in moody indoor light.

Hi, my name is Ruby Goddard-Watts

Originally from Somerset, England, I have spent much of my life living in different corners of Europe before finally settling in Paris, France, where I founded RGWPhotos. Over the years, I have explored different areas of photography, from fashion and sport to journalism, before finding my place documenting families, couples and individuals. My background in photo retouching, enables me to produce high quality edits that convey an atmospheric warmth while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.

Contagious smiles

I have fallen in love with the process of capturing people. Guiding my clients so they feel genuinely confident and beautiful in their skin. I sit at my computer all afternoon editing photos with an uncontrollable smile because the photos are just beaming with light, positivity, and contagious joy.

My work is about creating a space for people to fully become themselves.

Every person I meet brings something completely unique, and it’s a privilege to step into those moments and document them as they unfold. In a world that can often feel overly critical and fast-paced, there is something refreshing about slowing down and enjoying the laughter, rather than worrying about the double chin it might cause.
