Another fantastic studio day with Ritchie, we had so much fun creating his ideas and I always enjoy working with him in his studio. Will be introducing my model friends to him and shooting again very soon, thanks again :)

Ritchie was fantastic with me on my first shoot, encouraging, friendly, and full of advice and knowledge. I was made to feel completely comfortable in his lovely studio and I learned a lot from my session with him. I’m so so pleased with the results, Ritchie’s work is truly stunning. Definitely a pleasure to work with!

I had a pleasure working with Ritchie at his studio in Paisley during my recent Scotland tour. Ritchie is an absolute pleasure to work with. He is very professional and had clear ideas what he wanted to achieve from the shoot . We got on really well and the time flew by. Thank you so much for the amazing shoot and I hope we will get to work together again soon!

I had a pleasure to work with fantastic and very creative photographer Richie yesterday at his studio in Paisley. We've done a commercial lingerie shoots finished before time which is great cuz we made also some other own ideas. Very very talented, I've heard such a nice travel stories of his life as well, smiled, positive and organised person! Everything in studio, lights, background has been super prepared before I came. I'd like to say massive thank you for our collaboration and I hope to see you soon again !!!

Another awesome shoot with Ritchie! I absolutely love shooting together- we get on so well and our shoots are always full of catching up and swapping hilarious stories as well as creating great images with quality over quantity in mind. He's always mindful of my comfort and makes sure I'm happy as well as showing me the pictures in the back of the camera so I can perfect and improve my own work too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and look forward to our next shoot! :)

Richie was absolutely amazing to work with especially as a new model. This was my first professional shoot and he made me feel completely at ease and gave me a lot of useful advice. He's very passionate about his work and model safety so highly recommend to work with him as he is extremely professional and fun to chat to.

After a last minute cancellation, Ritchie responded to a casting call I put up andoing we arranged a very last minute shoot together.

For a first shoot, I was very happy working with Ritchie - I was at ease pretty quickly. He has wonderful ideas and is a pleasure to have a laugh with whilst working to try achieve what ideas he has in mind.

I hope there was a few good ones in there from our time together -which had next to no planning with it being so last minute!

Look forward to hopefully working together again in the future 😊

I had a lovely time with Ritchie on our shoot yesterday. I said this to him at the time, but I don't think I've ever met anyone so concerned with model safety as him. I arrived quite early which gave him lots of time to show me how the studio worked and all the ways in which the model had control over the shoot.

I felt completely at ease working with him and loved what photos I got to see from the back of the camera. I had a lot of fun chatting about Scottish music and hope to shoot again soon! :)

Such an amazing shoot I had with Richie. He is such an easy going progressional photographer with a relaxed approach. I felt extremely relaxed throughout the shoot. 😊. will defiantly be returning back to Scotland next summer. Thanks for an amazing time with also the help of the other photographers I met at your studio. can’t wait to visit again 😊. Highly recommended !!

Third shoot with Ritchie, this time he suprised me and drove us up to the Highlands and Glen Coew to shoot on location, which was cold but the scenery made it so worthwhile and is something different from my normal every day work!

Ritchie is a landscape photographer so knows the locations really well and how to capture a model within the scenery, in the middle of the day we stopped for lunch at a pub, I was fed, watered and well looked after :)

A really fun shoot! Thank you :D

I bumped into Ritchie first of all on my latest Scotland tour because I was working at his studio (Studio12 in Paisley) on a couple of other occasions. :) He was a really lovely and helpful studio host always being on-hand for anything that we needed and making sure I was comfortable and had all the essential amenities. At that immediate time in Glasgow, I was pretty chocka which appeared to be a bitter-sweet situation because Ritchie and I had got talking by this point and a shoot together whilst I was up seemed like an awesome idea... Then, as it happened; after I had left Glasgow, continued my tour all the way up North and then came back down again, there was a single afternoon which I could just drop by and we managed to squeeze an impromptu shoot in! So all worked out beautifully in the end and we got our shoot after all! :D

So back at the lovely Studio12 for a third time! And totally fresh ideas/creativity filling the room. :) Ritchie is utterly commendable as photographer: an idea that he wants to achieve comes to the forefront of his mind, he'll express the concept well and can offer brilliant direction - a quick fiddle with the lights, shoot and he's got what he was after! I thoroughly enjoyed working with Ritchie because he has a genuinely imaginative photographic mind so thinks outside the box as well having the know-how to capture traditional beauty. We did some sets in the main studio area and also around the corner by the window to create dynamic atmospheric natural light images. Ritchie was always aware of where the light was going and the effect it was having. An photographer who appreciates artistic quality in photography for certain. :) Richie was so really easy going and allowed me to do my routine "back-of-camera" thing and then even kindly sent me some gorgeous edits after whilst I was still on tour! :) It's so lifting when this happens because you do get passionate and interested in the work you create and when you have a good shoot, it brings it all back again seeing the results.

I would recommend Ritchie to any model that may be discussing to work with him. He's a genuine professional in his etiquette and approach to shooting models and really goes to great lengths to ensure models are well looked after and happy either during a shoot with himself or modelling at his studio for another photographer. He communicates perfectly and gets the arrangements in place in no time at all which is an utter godsend for we touring models who may have a million and one emails to chase up! I was collected from (and returned to) the station with ease and Ritchie helped me with my ridiculous amount on luggage where I believe I had more than on my first visit earlier in the week when I had left some at my accommodation! He's such a lovely gent who is a good laugh, and very social too. We had a corking shoot for sure and the results said it all as well. A very skilled photographer across the board of genres. :D

Thank you dearly Ritchie, I really hope to work together again real soon!

Had a quick shoot with Ritchie during my tour to Scotland , unfortunately on the day the conditions in the studio were unbearable and we cut the shoot short . However from the moment I walked in the studio I was made to feel welcomed and comfortable . In the short time we had we still got through a few different sets and Ritichies company is just great with all the stories that he has .. Hopefully next time will be better . Thank you Jessica x

I love working with Ritchie. He is one of those people that has a passion for life, makes you feel relaxed and comfortable instantly and is full of interesting stories.

We had an awesome shoot, travelling to Loch Lomand and achieved some absolutely fantastic results. He has such an eye for photogrpahy, composting me perfectly amongst the stunning scenery. They are some of my favourite photos I've had taken of me.

Not only is he talented but so much fun to work with and shares my disgusting sense of humour :) :)

Highly recommended by me and already excited to work together again in the future.

A Very Late References, But better late then never.

Booking a Duo shoot between Myself and Aurora Violet, Richie had so many truly amazing ideas and it was so wonderful to make them a reality.

As always friendly and welcoming, He made sure both himself and the studio where ready upon arrival.

From what i'v seen the end result has been beautiful, a true professional and i hope to work with him again.

A very professional, friendly and skilled photographer. Do not miss a shoot with Ritchie.

I loved my third shoot with this wonderful photographer at his studio in Paisley, Studio 12 Photography Paisley doing a duo shoot with the beautiful JAZZebell. Ritchie booked us whilst JAZZebell was in the area and we had a very productive and fun shoot.

Ritchie was at the studio ready to start when we turned up and even though he is just back from a long trip so was tired and jet lagged he was very welcoming, full of beans and had lots of artistic ideas for us to go through. Ritchie is a lovely person and he takes such beautiful images. He always works so hard to achieve the results he is after and our conversation always flows.

He works just as well with two models and is not afraid to give direction to get the image he is looking for always making sure the models are happy and safe.

I highly recommend Ritchie to all creatives, a highly motivated, respectful photographer with so much experience and knowledge.

I cannot wait till our next shoot together.

Thanks again Ritchie.

Aurora :)

I worked with Ritchie on my MAMMOTH Scottish Tour recently and had an absolute blast! We had worked together before but it had been a few years since our last shoot, so it was really lovely to catch up!!

I love Ritchies studio- its such a lovely, pleasant space to use with all of the facilities you could wish to comfortably use on a shoot! Ritchie is FULL of creative ideas and always moving, creating and producing beautiful photos! I loved how he experienced with lighting and blinds/shadows, which created some stunning effects on the body and have re-inspired me for future shoots.

Ritchie also gave great direction but is equally happy for the model to lead and express him/herself which I really appreciated. We both decided we were very hungry into the shoot and ate for part of it which was quite entertaining but just what I needed! I found Ritchie very kind, respectful and always had the models comfort at heart.

I had a really lovely shoot and could honestly have shot all day- great company and a real pleasure to shoot with on tour. Thanks so much Ritchie-until the next time! :) Highly recommended, Helen x

I have been privileged enough to work with Ritchie on a number of occasions and any time I do I always have a wonderful shoot!

Richie is a true gentleman and looks after his models extremely well, except for their waistlines, had to fit in a work out to get rid of that iced bun! (lol).

Richie is professional in every sense of the word, he is extremely creative and very talented in his work and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to any model or other creative!

Thank you again for a brilliant shoot! C :)

Worked with Ritchie at a last minute request in his studio located in Paisley. As a newcomer I can say Ritchie was very informative and welcoming and also patient. He is very professional, has an amazing studio space plus a great selection of drops, props and outfits. Looking forward to working with this charming gentleman in the foreseeable future.

Had a great shoot with Ritchie!

He was friendly and nice and picked me up to drive me to the location. We had great talks and clicked - I really enjoyed shooting with him! :-)

100% recommended!
