I worked with the lovely Rich at my home again the other day and had such a great shoot! It was short but sweet as Rich was called into work- but as always so productive, creative and full of fun! Rich has a great passion for photography and its truly infectious on a shoot- I always feel inspired when I work with him. I love his creativity and joy in capturing spontaneous shots-.We had great fun with using a selection of materials trying to capture movement and expressions for his photography series.

Rich is a lovely friend and someone all models should shoot with, I always look forward to working with him and its been very inspiring seeing his work progress over the years. He is a lovely, trustworthy and kind person to work with also, I recommend him highly. Thankyou for a lovely shoot and see you soon :) Helen x

I had another shoot with Richard on Tuesday, our 2 hours was part of a whopping 12 hours of shoots that day, and our shoot definitely stood out as my favourite of the day!

It was so much fun and I really enjoyed the creative process!

Richard is a lovely guy to be around and a total gentleman!

I really couldn't recommend him higher if I tried!

Hope to see him again next time I visit :)

I had another brilliant shoot with lovely Richard at Upper Mills last Saturday. Richard again was a delight to work with, he comes with enthusiasm, ideas and he clearly shows passion for his art and it is great to be apart of Richard's work.

I can only highly recommend Richard and will look forward to our next shoot :)

Thanks

I had another fantastic shoot with Richard last week. :) Pre-shoot communication was great, I knew what to bring and where to meet and the pictures look amazing! Richard is one of the most creative photographers I work with and brought yet more new ways of working to this shoot, producing some really beautiful results. Thankyou for the ice cream and I look forward to working together again! :D

I had my first shoot with Rlux during my Cheltenham Tour. Richard pick me up from the station in Cheltenham and drive to an old farm. The location was really nice and the light was perfect. He is a professional person and apart from being a great photographer he is also a very good company, polite and genuine. Looking forward to work with him again.

Thank you it was a pleasure to work with you. Highly recommended

I had a fantastically adventurous day out with Richard a week ago during my Wales tour. He booked me for the entire day and we shot a HUGE mixture of things from crazy nudes to Fantasy esque horned devil lady vibes!! ;)

We first headed off to an large abandoned church I had explored a few years before- I had no idea if it would still be accessible, but it was and WOW did we get some great stuff there. We climbed through windows, up spiral stair cases and got some amazing images.

We then teamed up with Laura and headed off to the woods and a graveyard to shoot the fantasy styled stuff I had been so excited about.

All in all it was a great day. Richard (as he was the first time- all those years ago) was great to work with- focused with plenty of ideas of his own but also laid back and really good fun. The day flew by.

I am loving the results from the day so far and can't wait to see more! Thank you Richard :)

I had my 3rd shoot with Rich a few weeks ago and we where joined by the very talented Helen Diaz. The day was well prepared with straight forward plan of what Rich wanted to achieve.

Rich as always is very easy to work with, creative and professional. He also treated myself and Helen to a tasty lunch and the day really just flew by!

The results so far are outstanding and I'm really happy with what was achieved that day.

Highly Recommended!

I had yet another brilliant shoot with Richard, this time experimenting with fabrics and natural light to create emotive portrait images.

Richard always strikes me with his vision as to how all elements he incorporates in the image eventually come together to portray a certain mood. It is not only his creativity and technical skills that define him as a photographer but also his kindness and ability to inspire. This is also an opportunity to thank Richard for being so considerate - our lovely assistant Jo and I really enjoyed our ice cream at the end of the shoot!

Every time I have worked with Richard I've left feeling privileged to have become part of his creative world. I really couldn't praise him highly enough and I hope to work with him again soon.

I had another fantastic shoot with Rich today on location working some gorgeous fabrics and incorporating jumps and movement into the shoot. It was windy but a lovely day- perfect for swaying fabrics about and capturing some amazing movement shots! Rich kindly bought me to and from my home and even remember the water I had forgotten!

Working with Rich is always very enjoyable and inspiring- I have loved seeing his photography progress over the years and we captured some stunning shots. Rich is a very kind, considerate photographer to work with,every models dream. The photos look stunning and I am really looking forward to seeing the results! Hihgly recomended, until the next time! :) Helen x

Richard has a unique vision and style as well as being great company to work with. I'm looking forward to our next shoot already!

I can't count the number of times I have worked with Rich! Everytime we shoot together his work just keeps gets better and better- his organisation, approach, method of shooting and his post processing is just beautiful. Richard is such a lovely person to know and work with- he has a gorgeous personality, is a complete gentleman and lovely company. He is also super kind to share photographs after the shoot and super creative! I absolutely love the new shots we did together, he certainly thinks outside of the box! :) Super highly recommended and I hope we always work together, Helen x

I worked with Richard during my recent visit to his area and cannot wait to do so agan. He's creative, with a wealth of ideas and local knowledge, interesting to talk to and the two hours flew by. We shot a variety of outfits in several locations across central Bristol and there are some lovely pictures online already!

Pre-shoot communications were excellent and I where where I needed to be and when, eliminating any stress and panic searching for each other in the station! :)

I had a fantastic morning and look forward to wrking together when I next visit,

I met Richard for the first time at one of Alistair Cowins masterclasses. Really lovely to work with came up with loads of ideas and tested my wacky facial expressions! From the edited pictures I've seen so far I'm very pleased and I'm looking forward to working with Richard again soon :)

I'm very pleased with the shoot I had with Richard at Ashton Studios today. Great communication before/ during the shoot, in his general input & creative skills... He had all the props we needed and was friendly, welcoming, patient, open minded to my suggestions and considerate. With very interesting ideas, passionate and professional at all times. I can't wait to see the final results. I definitely hope we can shoot again. Highly recommended. Thanks a million x

What an absolutely fantastic shoot. I shot with Richard for the second time yesterday and yet again I've been blown away by the images. He has such a brilliant eye for what will work on camera and was happy for me to show my own creative side too. He was professional, reliable, very easy to chat with and bounce ideas off of and came well prepared with different coloured veils. He really has an artists eye. I can't recommend him highly enough and would absolutely love to work with him again.

I had a fantastic shoot with Richard today. He really has a eye for what works on camera and takes the models comfort into consideration. Today was absolutely freezing but he made sure I was warm enough by keeping my coat on and going for a nice hot coffee. He's got an eye for lighting and composition, and some great ideas. He's easy to talk to, a lovely guy, and I had a fab time shooting with him today. We're planning to work together again soon so I would highly recommend working with him.

I worked with Rich again at my home studio in Bristol with model Emma Willis who had come down for the couple of days. We all worked together on a joint shoot and the time absolutely flew by!

Unfortunately Rich had to leave a little earlier than planned as he was called into work, so we only had the 1.5 hours or so together, instead of the 2 hours, but Richard kindly gave us our full fee (I will make up the time on our next shoot! :) ) Despite this, we had SUCH a productive time, creating some absolutely beautiful images together with myself and Emma Willis as a duo! I really think we achieved some wonderful images, especialley portraits and headshots and am really looking forward to seeing them :)

On top of this, Rich is THE nicest photographer to work with! After a few bad experiences for me recently, he really made me smile, thankyou!

I had my second shoot with Richard yesterday - an urban chic-themed one with some experimentation with the backgrounds of the city and different focus points.

Richard brought some fantastic ideas which I instantly liked and I totally enjoyed every moment of our shoot. His attitude always puts me at ease and time flew by. I'm very pleased to have already seen some images that once again prove his creativity and great vision. It would be a pleasure to work with Richard again in the future, he is a great photographer and I would highly recommend him.
