Ah, what can I say… I had a fantastic shoot with Ritchie after 5 long years of a break from modelling. I instantly felt comfortable and incredibly welcomed and it was the brilliant experience that I remembered our shoots being all those times before.

As with my historic references for Ritchie, I would without any hesitation recommend him to any model who wishes to work with him, he is a total professional and an absolute gentleman and I always thoroughly enjoy our shoots together.

Ritchie, thanks again for working with me after such a long time, I felt as though only 1 month had passed and not 5 years, absolute magic as always!

It was such a pleasure to work with Ritchie. He was easy to communicate with both before and during the shoot. My partner and I went to his studio in paisley for a nude couple shoot. He was very respectful throughout the shoot. He gave great direction, also letting us free pose. He told us wonderful stories about himself and his photography, very friendly and personable. I would definitely recommend him to both new and experienced models. Thanks for a great shoot 😊

I’ve been shooting with Ritchie for a few years now and we always have such an awesome time together. Recently, I had the most amazing shoot with the wonderful Ritchie at his lovely studio in Paisley during my recent tour to Scotland. As always Richie was friendly and welcoming and we had a good catch up and a chat and a laugh before shooting.

Ritchie has such a equipped studio with a lovely changing area, backdrops, props clothes, lighting and just about everything you might need. Richie did some wonderful lighting arrangements and we used some of his cool backdrops along with doing some nice natural shots on the sofa.

I love shooting with Ritchie it’s just class! 110% recommended from me. Until next time ;)

It was a pleasure to work alongside Ritchie again in his wonderful space, Studio 12 Photography Paisley, our fourth session together and we had an awesome shoot once again. ✌️

He booked myself and the amazing Irongem together for a duo shoot doing some artistic, sensual and erotic nude styles. It's always a joy to shoot with Ritchie. He is a truely talented and skilled photographer and the images he captures are always absolutely stunning.

A complete profressional, welcoming and so helpful. Our train was cancelled from Glasgow Central to Paisley but Ritchie was kind enough to pick us up and drop us off again back in Glasgow which was so nice of him.

A man with a plan, Ritchie always has lots of ideas and makes excellent use of the time he has booked you for. Once we arrived back at the studio we had a chat and he explained what he was looking to acheive. We already had a general idea as communications leading up to our shoot were excellent as usual.

Ritchie is a complete profressional, respectful of his models and he always creates a nice relaxed shooting environment. A friendly, cheery guy and and you will always have some great conversations.

A fun and productive duo shoot with an exceptional photographer and really lovely person. 😁

Highly recommended to all.

Thank you once again Ritchie and I look forward to our next shoot in the New year. 😊

Another stop in the see Ritchie, who is beyond professional talented, polite and a true pleasure to work with. Despite having a bit of a rubbish tour this time round, it was a breath of fresh air to spend the time I did with Ritchie, creating exceptional images in such a professional yet laid back and productive setting !

It’s a wonder we take any images with how much we chat, but the quality is there and we smash it every time! If you get the chance, take it - well worth working with you won’t regret!

KourtneyM

Highly recommend working with Ritchie! Excellent studio and great photographer, thank you for an awesome Photoshoot :)

Had an awesome second shoot with the lovely Richie Photos at his lovely Studio in Paisley during my recent modelling Tour to Glasgow.

Prior to shooting pre-communication was excellent and Ritchie even helped me organize my travel route to the Studio.

As I’m a bit over organized sometimes I was a bit early ahh but Ritchie let me into the Studio and was just so accommodating and helpful towards me. I felt right at home and had my own lovely charging room and the Studio had such a lovely atmosphere. We had such a good chat and a shoot and Ritchie had the most beautiful dresses and the coolest outfits for me to wear with lovely shoes too.

Ritchie has the most exceptional lighting skills and really knows what he’s doing. He’s so experienced in photography and is just so talented at what he does.

110% recommended from me. It’s a pitty I live miles away but I’d love to shoot with him again during my next trip to Scotland when I’m next up.

I had the pleasure of working with Ritchie at his studio leading to another booking on my next trip up! Awesome man, true professional with clear experience and knowledge - I look forward to working together again in your great studio space! Highly recommended:D

I had another fantastic shoot with Ritchie! All went to plan and we got through many sets & I loved what I seen from the camera! Can’t wait to work together again soon, and I can highly recommend to any model 😊

I had a really awesome shoot with Ritchie at his studio in paisley! Pre comms were great and we got started right away after a chat about what we’d be doing, after having a little break due to personal reasons this also helped me get straight back into things and it was like I had never been away so thank you for that opportunity! I highly recommend this photographer to any model who gets the chance to work together. Thanks again Ritchie!:-)

I’d missed the chance to shoot with Ritchie on my previous tour of Scotland (just after things had first properly opened up again). But then things came together and we made things happen when I ventured back up for my winter tour... Yay! 😁

It’s so nice to be touring properly again - visiting once valued studios (Studio12 in Paisley) and catching up with photographers that I’ve had previously great experiences with. 🙂 When Ritchie came back to confirm his availability; I was already confident we’d rock a productive session, and get some killer looks in the bag... Even in a relatively short shoot! It’s amazing what you can achieve when all the minds involved are in-tune and you’ve got some great brief/ideas at the ready. And Ritchie always has. 😃 We’ve shoot lots of different looks actually when we’ve worked together; Ritchie is extremely versatile in how he can work, and when he’s got a project in mind - he is fully confident in how he’s going to go about achieving it with lighting and the whole look. Everything from knowing outfits that are going to hit the spot, to being a capable eye for direction. He’s a highly competent photographer no matter who he’s working with, and whilst he shoots with pro models - his approach and know-how is very reassuring for the inexperienced/new model too.

Loved the shots we got! All the glam/sophistication and cuteness, combined with shapes and lines - SMASHED IT! But not only was it a creatively productive shoot for the images we got - it was also a terrific couple of hours chatting/making up for having not caught up for a while and just rolling off a quality social vibe. 😄 Ritchie is totally a people-person... He obviously runs his studio very well (people come back time and time again) but the respect and demeanour that he bears puts reassurance in the mind of a model; who is obviously always wanting a shoot to turn out good results (don’t we all!) but it’s also nice if you can actually enjoy your time at work too - including having a laugh. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This has always been the case when we’ve shot anyway. 👍😃

Alas: nothing but great things to say about Ritchie! His comms are always brill, his etiquette professional as can be, and pictures - fandabidosy!

Another epic recommendation from me of course!

Thank you Ritchie. ☺️

Had a really great shoot with Ritchie on the first day of my Scottish Tour at Studio 12 in Paisley.

On the day of shooting Ritchie kindly collected me from the airport and brought me to the Studio he also kindly dropped me of the my air b&b after the shoot which I really appreciated.

Ritchie has such a fantastic Studio in Paisley it is very equipped and has just about everything you need from clothing to a variety of fantastic backdrops.

Me and Ritchie had such a relaxed and low pressure shoot. Ritchie is also very chatty which really made me feel comfortable and really put me at ease. He had some really interesting stories to tell. Ritchie is just fun to be around and such a delight to work with. Richie knows what he wants and definitely focuses and quality of quantity.

More than recommended. A lovely person and Tog just fantastic!

Had a fantastic morning working with Ritchie at Studio 12 in Paisley.He is very friendly and professional. Made me feel comfortable and we had great chat during the shoot.I can highly recommend this photographer to anyone ! Hopefully get to work together again soon! Thanks very much xx

I was delighted when Ritchie confirmed us being able to shoot together once more on my latest tour of Scotland... By the time I’d made it down to the Glasgow and Paisley area, I’d worked around most of the country already - but Ritchie never fails to come up with superb looks/lighting and ideas that just roll out of his head effortlessly. A totally enjoyable creative blast yet again, plus another great whopping recommendation from me. :)

Ritchie has his own studio (Studio 12) which is not only a fabulously well-kitted out (plus warm and comfortable) place to work) but it’s also massively convenient for travelling models who may be doing a studio shoots there, or working with Ritchie himself. Even so, Ritchie kindly came to meet and help me from the station - seeing as I’m that trouble maker who insists on bringing her entire life hoards with her in the biggest/heaviest cases any poor unsuspecting photographer was ever met with. He’s the most hospitable studio owner and photographer possible who will always make anyone visiting feel totally at ease and do whatever he can to help/ensure that their experience is the best it can be. :) So, after cuppas and catch-ups: we began nattering about some ideas, and the creative shenanigans got underway!

I’ve certainly rambled on about Ritchies positive drive and evident skill in photography previously; and I’m sure a quick scroll will show many other models saying the same thing. But nevertheless, I’ll say it again! This chap is epic behind the camera. Period. He’s exceedingly versatile in making the light do what he’s visualising for the picture... And this could be with natural light or numerous different flash setups. He gets the killer shots in the bag very quickly as a result and the levels of productivity are sky high. :D The way he works is like he barely even needs to think about the technicalities or anything. And one should never underestimate just how many different aspects there are for the photographer to be aware of in bagging that belter of an image. Ritchie just has a mind that gets to it with no “powering-up” required at all haha! Alas: he’s one helluva photographer. :D Despite what I’ve just mentioned about Ritchie approaching shoots with a visual range on concepts that he will confidently execute, he greatly values the input of the model and the teamwork that surfaces during a shoot. So there is creative bounce happening too which yields awesome collaborative vibes in the session.

And of course; he’s just a lovely person through and through. Totally chirpy and high-spirited, a *people-person* to the core and just a total laugh in all honesty. :) We got the pictures done yes... Amid a massive degree of chattering throughout a very easy-going and non-rushed shoot session. It’s probably the most laid back shoot you’ll ever have in fact!

Finally, it goes WITHOUT SAYING that Ritchie is a professional and good mannered gentleman who shows respect and courtesy to those that he is working with.

I do hope we get to work together again in the future, because no doubt it will be as terrific as always! :D

Thanks Ritchie!

Had another short but sweet shoot with Ritchie. As usual with Ritichie he had a few sets planned out, relaxed but productive shoot. Always a great person to work with who even let me have my quick porridge and tea break :)
