Working with Richard today for the first time was an absolute joy!

I had admired his work for a while and was honoured when he contacted me for a shoot. I knew our creative preferences for the obscure and ethereal were aligned, and this really came to fruition and flourished throughout the shoot.

Richard kindly picked me up from home and we headed to our destination. He was ever so patient with me leading him up steep uphill climbs in the rain and had a wonderfully upbeat and friendly attitude that never wavered! I found him a real delight to shoot with, conversation flowed easily and creative input bounced back and forth. He was happy leaving me to pose freely but also gave helpful direction and let me know whenever angles/crops were changing so I could adjust accordingly.

We got some really gorgeous imagery and I was blown away by the back of the camera shots. Richard has a keen artistic eye, utilising the mist and generally difficult conditions to our advantage, alongside his range of interesting lenses meant each image was captured with a truly beautiful otherworldly aesthetic.

Even with the challenging conditions today in the mist and rain we had an awesome afternoon. I am truly invigorated by how lovely our first shoot was and I'm so pleased we're already planning our second.

I wholeheartedly recommend Richard to all models, thanks again and I can't wait til the next time! 😊

I had a fabulous and highly productive shoot with Richard at Heavenly Bodies Studio.

We covered a wide range of looks from classic art nude to lingerie and fashion - all with a vintage or retro feel.

I love that Richard gets me as a model and knows how to interpret my style of modelling and the looks I’m putting together for him. It’s very satisfying to see all my prep being put to good use and to create sensational images.

As always Richard brought his artistic lenses so we were able to get different effects in terms of light, colours and textures. He also worked really hard to change up the angles and perspectives.

I know I’ve said it before but the time really did fly by!! Also we always seems to develop our creativity in a way that we come up with something new and different to what we have previously done.

I can’t thank Richard enough for a very enjoyable shoot. Until next time!

Very highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had the pleasure of working with Richard again recently during the Kink Event Weekend organised by myself, Caitlyn J & J Black Photographic and from the initial contact through to the shoot itself, Richard was a pleasure to communicate with. He's clear and concise in his messages, giving a brief idea of what he was hoping to achieve but mostly happy to go with the flow.

Richard was very accommodating with a last minute venue change and adapted to it well. His attention to detail was exquisite and he really made full use of the Dungeon we were shooting in.

Throughout the shoot i felt comfortable around him and conversation easily flowed. Richard was polite and professional, and was very happy to run around the Dungeon wherever our ideas took us. He made good styling suggestions and was very easy to work with.

We captured some truly stunning images and I can't wait to see his final edits.

Thankyou for a wonderful shoot!

Richard took part in the Kink Event Weekend hosted by Caitlyn, Angel and myself and was lovely to work with. I was providing lighting support throughout the weekend and Richard was more than happy for me to light the set, offering his own suggestions as well so he got a good variety of images.

He was polite and professional with the models and conversation easily flowed between us all. Richard was also great with a last minute venue change and took it in his stride.

The back of camera shots looked great and the edits I've seen since look amazing. It was great to work alongside you Richard!

Wow what a fabulously creative shoot! We where working at my photographer friends house but we created images that look like they were taken in a dream! These are some of my absolute favourites of all time. I really enjoyed shooting with Richard and can’t wait to work with him again. I would definitely recommend him.

I’ve had the pleasure to shoot with Richard so many times, but we always manage to find new inspiration and yet unexplored locations.

This time we explored some urban graffiti spots near where I live, which proved quite exciting as we found some great gems in terms of location. We had a an extremely productive and enjoyable shoot and Richard captured some beautiful and atmospheric images.

I was impressed with how much we achieved in the 2 hours and as usual, time flew by in Richard’s company.

It’s also great to see how successful Richard has been in getting his works recognised in exhibitions internationally, working together is a privilege.

I highly recommend Richard to any creatives and look forward to the next time we get to work together.

Richard was my first slot on the first of one of my studio days at inspire studios, I really enjoyed working with him!

Precomms were perfect, he arrived and finished on time.

We shot different kinds of art nude and beautiful images with coloured fabrics provided by him, using different lightning set ups, natural light and manual lenses. I really liked the creative way he works and appreciated very much that he gave me breaks since it was very cold at the beginning of the day.

Hope we can work again in the future next year, thanks again!

I was delighted to work with Richard ! His communications where professional both before and during our shoot. He is very calm and ordered when working, taking time to check images as we moved along and giving me chance to give feed back so we could agree to get the best of images. His is style was perfect for me and I adored what he created with his array of interesting lenses. I felt we where on the same page with styling and content and found the whole experience very comfortable. I carnt wait to see the rest of the images with his painterly approach. Very happy to work again anytime Richard !

I had a wonderful shoot with Richard at a Tabitha Boydell Event. As always he is polite and gets along very well in group settings. He is easy to work with and can communicate what he wants efficiently; whilst also allowing the models to flow through their own ideas. BOC looked sensational and from the images uploaded that I have seen, JUST WOW!

I have no hesitation in recommending him and I hope to work with him again soon :)

Had such an awesome shoot with the wonderful RLux during a recent modelling tour to Gloucester. While I was hosted by Dave on a recent modelling tour.

We started with some fabulous shots in the garden and the natural light was just beautiful. I loved the shots with the flowers. Richard is so good at framing as has the most awesome camera lenses that create such cool effects. He really knows his stuff with natural light shots too. We also smashed the indoor shots as well. We had a good chat and a shoot as time fly by far too quickly.

110% recommended!! Would love to shoot with Richard again in the future.

I was so excited to get the chance to spend some time with him working with a photographer like this the time flies by as you really feel like you are you are creating artwork from what I have seen so far the pictures are truly excellent and I really hope that I get the chance to work with Richard again as he is so incredibly talented. He comes highly recommended by me and I look forward to working with him again.

Had the most magical shoot with Richard in the Mendips on a drizzly and unpredictable summer’s day. As always we made maximum use of the location and conditions - working extremely well together as a team.

I really enjoy working with Richard and he is one of a few people who I’m now focusing on shooting with as I really enjoy his company and am always blown away by the images.

Richard is a real creative and also has an excellent technical understanding of photography - experimenting with creative lenses and different ideas and concepts.

Shooting with Richard is a very rewarding experience and one that I am happy to highly recommend!

I very much look forward to next time 😊

I had a really lovey springtime shoot with Richard today, and like all of our previous shoots together, it was a photographic adventure!

I’m very privileged to live nearby to Richard so we’ve had the opportunity to build an enjoyable and productive photographic partnership. I love his creative and experimental approach to shoots, and it’s a pleasure to put together looks that I think will compliment his style.

We shot around a stunning Forest of Dean heathland and captured some beautiful springtime colours and textures. We worked through a range of looks in a variety of settings and as always the time whizzed by!

As always I can’t wait to see the images and have no doubt that we will have some more competition wins and exhibition entries!

Many thanks Richard for a brilliant day and I can’t wait until next time!

Richard attended my Dance Duo Day at PGD Leicester. Richard is a treat to work with, he has such a lovely mannerism about him and is clearly very talented at what he does. He is a joy to have in a group setting as well as 1-2-1. I would highly recommend working with him and I hope to do so again soon :)

Today was my first shoot with Richard. We duo’d with the fantastic Mr NPR at Aura Photographic Studio, Weeden Bec.

I have admired Richard’s work for a while and was thrilled when he said yes to shooting with us.

The shoot was so much fun. Lots of laughs between the three of us and the chance to really explore something different for our portfolios. I can’t wait to see how Richard edits these stunning images.

If you want to shoot with a fun, exciting and professional photographer, Richard is your guy.

Thanks for a great shoot. 100% recommended.

I’ve had the pleasure of shooting with Richard many times now. We always create something different each time, all of our shoots so far have been so inspired and this one was no exception.

This time, we shot at an outdoor location near where I live. Despite the temperamental weather, we had a very productive shoot and Richard captured some very beautiful and atmospheric images.

I was impressed with how much we achieved in the 2 hours and as usual, time flew by in Richard’s company.

I highly recommend Richard to any creatives and look forward to the next time we get to work together.

It was lovely to see Richard back a the studio again. He always brings a few different lenses to capture some creative shots and works well with the models to get the look he is after. He's a really nice guy and always so respectful of both the model and the studio and it's a pleasure having him at the studio.

Georgia Brown

I had the pleasure of working with Richard on a studio weekend at Inspire studios and it was such a wonderful experience.

Richard is full of exceptionally creative ideas and wow did we work these ideas well together, an easy going man who really does have a keen eye for capturing creative beauty and to be a part of this process was very rewarding.

The results already are beautiful, thankyou Richard I’d very much recommended with ease

How lovely to once again have the chance to work with Richard this time at Raw Pics Studio creating pure art in the form of Photography with my modeling partner Melany.

This shoot was a photographic adventure for me not only as a model but also of huge interest to me as begining photographer to see how Richard used his photographic knowledge and lenses to almost sculpture the images to how he wanted them it was not only fascinating to be part of the process but also to have such incredible pieces of work at the end.

I was delighted with what we achieved and once again enjoyed working with this extremely talented photographer again thank you so much Richard I very much hope to have the chance to work with you again soon to create some more magic.
