What a super crazy day, Rich of course had me well fuelled with pizza and coffee before we headed out in to London to meet up with Stephen Hawkins and the gorgeous Jaybee to put the fun in to funky! :D

Rich had the awesome idea of making the whole shoot about neon lights, he was well armed with strings of different coloured lights, and LED rave glasses, and an umbrella for added effects, and just wow the shots are incredible!

The shoot was amazing, filled with creative input, and just as it always has been the day was relaxed, loads of banter and chatting, despite it being cold it was just bloody brilliant and gave us so many ideas for future shoots too :)

Everything went to plan, and everyone left the shoot with huge smiles and fabulous shots, and I’m ecstatic for our next awesome day together!

Thank you so much, and see you soon,

Had my first shoot with Arvee after planning on working together for quite a while.

He arranged for a fantastic location, was kind enough to put me up for the night after I travelled down and was generally just fab to work with. Friendly, chatty and easy going, no stress whatsoever. Definitely my kind of shoot!

I think we got some fab stuff and I'm already looking forward to working together again.

Seriously starting to lose track on how many shoots I’ve had with the mad man that is behind Arvee Photography :)

Rich very kindly picked me up from the airport and kept me very well fed over a couple of days, and we had a bit of a groundbreaking shoot, although we always shoot something different, this was just a crazily simple idea which quickly became epic. Rich arranged a wicked make up artist to come over a draw all over my hands which only took half an hour, and less than hour later we had a handful of perfect shots.

We don’t need to shoot for hours on end to get that wicked shot, it’s always nice to get loads and loads of good shots but it’s sooo much more satisfying to put a little more effort in for just that handful, I’m still so blown away!

And it won’t be long until I’m back shooting with him and the rest of our crazy team :D I’m so excited!

Im very lucky that Rich lives a stones throw away from me! We shot at his house, which is beautifully decorated and full of amazing places to shoot. As always Rich has a fantastic eye for incredible images. The shoot was fun and relaxed, and we created some incredible images together. If you havent shot with Rich yet, you definitely need to!

Jay Bee

This counts for two more references! Already shot twice so far this year and already have three more shoots planned for the coming months!

I cant get enough of shooting with Rich - everything is always super creative and something that will really add to your portfolio.

Very super highly recommended!!

Jay Bee

Well yet another fab shoot with this amazing guy! This time we focused on a ice queen concept that we have had for almost a year and it was so worth the wait!

Everything was super organised and we both knew exactly what we were wanting to achieve and the results once again looked frikin’ awesome!

I would always recommend rich!!!!

Amber Tutton

Shot with rich just yesterday, had an absolute ball (as always) rich has such a great attitude about him, he's very caring and always thinks about the model during shoots, on arrival to his beautiful home he made sure he had got some veggie snacks in for me and topped me up with some hot water to make sure I was nice and cosy & fed throughout.. I've just been overcoming some serious case of illnesss that knocked me for six and this was my first shoot coming back into modelling from a week or so out! He always makes me feel at ease and unpressured! Which is incredible in a person

He has some super ideas, and quirky locations too! He hand made a crown as a prop for me which just looked insane! I loved it!

Creative genius & I really love seeing his work appear

You must work with rich, if not for his incredible talent for his energy and jokes that'll made you cry with tears

Happy ones obviously (unless you're the angel of death, then you might die with real sad ones😂 Hahaha)

Highly recommended ! Thanks rich

Can't wait for our next shoot! Definitely upped the game on this one!!

Scarlett Fox

Since our very first shoot together on the 30th May 2015 Rich has changed so much whether it be his photography or prop collection! I have never known anyone to grow so much over such little time, Rich has always been excellent, but it just gets better and I love seeing the sweat pour when I say I’ve got a challenge for him!

On our last shoot of madness, the weather was against us and to be honest we just fancied a bit of a chill and plan for the next shoot. BUT we did shoot two epic and unusual sets, edit all images together, and thought up some beautifully odd ideas for our future dates and boy am I excited. Every time I see Rich I learn so much, he is an incredible teacher he’ll answer my stupid brain numbing questions, he’s very patient to explain things, and bless him he just puts up with me.

I am absolutely in love with the sets we shot, and he just knows where I want to go with something, and the final results are breath taking.

I must be off now so I can book my next 10 train tickets down for our crazy adventures.

Thank you so much for everything! (P.S I love my present, it’s already hanging up!)

Oh holy shit, Rich has totally gone up yet another level! I arrived early in the morning so we dropped bags over at Rich’s, had a coffee and then we were off on location and an epic location at that, an abandoned hotel and its grounds. And later we went down to the woods…

Shooting high end suit fashion, wigs, pretty dresses, mermaid madness, creepy contortionist, a little bit of medieval stuff, and then finished off with some incredibly gorgeous F1.2 portraits!

I really have no idea how we managed to shoot so much and in about four hours, including driving, getting changed, gossiping, coffee break, it was such a chilled day which is always the case with Rich, time went by so quickly.

On a personal note, dear ole Rich saved my tail by feeding me lots of pizza, making sure I was in bed early, and then dropping me off safely at the airport very early in the morning, and then doing the reverse when I came back a week and a bit later. Just by looking at Rich’s portfolio you can see what a talented soul he is, and how you unique his shots are, but he is still to date one of the kindest people you could ever hope to meet.

I am speechless since seeing the end results of the shots he’s edited, even a composite, and his own spin on a couple of my ideas which has really brought the images together. I have no idea how he puts up with me half the time but I’m so glad he does as I don’t know what I’d do with out him!

Hope you know what you’re in for when I next see you!

I don't know how many references I have to leave recommending rich! But I will never stop!

Rich is such a good friend now and I literally messaged him the day before saying I'm coming to shoot! So with no plans at all we set to work and just had so much fun. There's no stress at all shooting with rich and all of your weird ideas he is more than happy to shoot.

There aren't many photographers who will listen to you when you say ' I want to be a weird alien coming out of the corn' and then go to shoot it with you!

Absolutely love this guy! You're stupid if you don't shoot with him!

Of course I recommend him!!

Amber Tutton

I've worked with Rich multiple times now, and I would happily work with him daily.. he has a great energy about him and it's refreshing! He's a huge amount of fun, you can laugh until you sides hurt, yet also feel comfortable and relaxed! It's just effortless being around him

We worked together recently at a 1940's event arranged by Trevor R in sheringham, on the day we also had the lovely Scarlett fox modelling, before the event Rich was brilliant at pre communication and let me know exact plans, if you're wanting to work with Rich all I have to say is DO IT! Book the guy

His images are beyond incredible! In fact one he took this day is my current profile picture on Facebook and soon to be posted on here too!

There isn't one person I don't think could get on with Rich!

Even if shoes fall from the sky, that's just life! Scarlett was one of Richs model choices to come for the day too and just goes to show his taste!

From myself and the plant pots on bikes, Rich is Professional, kind, and the best recommended :)

TrevorR

Arvee (Rich) and myself have been real World friends for quite a while but apart from using me as a weight to stop Scarlett Fox blowing away in a parachute dress, we had not actually worked together before.

We organised a shoot together a few months ago for this past weekend at Sheringham 1940's event. The models were to be Amber Tutton and Scarlett Fox. Rich kindly picked them up and brought them to the shoot. Rich is a scream and a real good laugh and I think despite it being his first time, he enjoyed it. He has so far posted some fabulous images.

The day was all to short but we have already spoken of doing something similar next year. I should also mention he was there to take the pee when the side of my trousers was actually pee'd on by some old bloke (a Canon user I think) in the overcrowded toilets. :-)

The downside for me was neither Rich nor Amber brought their dogs but we did find the most gorgeous harlequin Great Dane..... till next time.

For models - Rich is a lovely guy to work with and will produce some great images.

Scarlett Fox

Whoop I’m your 110th reference! And why does Rich have 110 references, because hes freaking awesome and lovely of course!

Had this shoot booked in for awhile now and what a cool shoot it was, so I arrived late the night before from my studio day and Rich had a pizza waiting for me (he knows what women want!), we had a good catch up and then had to go to bed as we had an early start the following day.

Very much a team effort as we were going to shoot in Sherringham, but first to pick up the incredible Amber Tutton in Cambridge along the way, and then off we went to meet up with TrevorR for a full day 1940’s event very different to our usual shoots on location which are normally quiet, out of the way, and scary, this was a huge challenge for us as we had to interact with non-model and non-photographer people whilst shooting in this beautifully dressed town and train station!

We were so bloody lucky with the weather being nice, maybe too nice haha, but we got some seriously unique and cinematic shots with the trains and what looked like built in sets. Poor Rich had to get used to me being pretty in a dress, and wearing a wig, and he had a traumatic experience of a shoe falling from the sky (damn those sky shoes!), and Amber seeing plants riding bikes.

It was a mad day, but a great team effort from everybody involved! So looking forward to our next shoot which is already being arranged and I think we’ll go back to our creepy horror stuff yaaaay!

Sorry Amber and I broke you, see you soon!

Well... this man! I am slightly bias now as I love Rich to bits like a brother!

Any model wanting to add something super cool and different to their portfolio Arvee is definitely the way to go! He fills his kitchen with sugar too if you so request it.... lots of energy for the shoots ;)

Rich has such a good eye for shoots, always looking at every detail and goes beyond anyone else I know To set up the shoots and get the coolest props you can imagine. Super super creative, I would say Rich is a true artist.

This time we shot with Scarlett, Tinkerbella and a super cool handmade rat bike. The shoot antics were second to none with us four and we were all laughing together in no time!

Until next time Rich! ;)

Would I recommend him? I would be crazy not to!!

Scarlett Fox

Freaking. Epic. As. Per. Usual!

Rich totally went up and beyond for this shoot, three models, two awesome locations, a wicked bike, props, snacks, pizza, and and excellent shots :) what a day!

Once the team were all together, Jaybee, Tinkerbella, and myself, we hit the first of the locations in huge ball gowns whilst we crawled through a field on all fours (good idea Rich haha), and then dressed Tink up as the grim reaper whilst she chased me through a field!

Then back to Rich's for coffees, outfit changes, props, and a little bit of chill time as Rich never ever rushes which I think is why all of his shoots are a major success :)

Back out on location with big shoes, short shorts, fish nets, lots of attitude, and an awesome bike we got shooting again, solos, duos, and some trios, every shot worked beautifully, even better that the weather was quite grey for some extra mood!

Such a cray day, I can't get over how quickly the day goes when shooting with Rich, he had to be insane to shoot with the three of us, and some how he survived! Once the shoot was finished we got back inside to review the images on the big screen, so many keepers it was so hard to choose the best of each set.

Besides being the coolest photographer with the best locations, one big quality Rich has over many photographers is that he knows how to get the best from his models, always encouraging, fun, and he looks after us whether it's getting our snacks in or saying it's too cold to shoot, there's never any pressure which is probably why we usually end up pushing him out the door to shoot.

I will never tire of shooting with Rich, he really is as unique and creative as they come :)

Unfortunately this will be the last time we'll shoot for a bit as he's disappearing for a month but when he gets back I'm moving in (and I'm bringing my rolling pin!)

See you soon,

Another freaking epic shoot done with Rich yesterday, whilst out on location with our favourite Chevy :)

Just as every time pre comms were quick and simple, pack clothes, turn up, do that model thing, eat pizza, look at images, go haha :)

Only needed a pathetically small bag for thing trip, Rich picked me up from the station and we drove straight to his new fabulous location, an abandoned foundry where I got to play with Hank the Yank again, stretching unnaturally on the bonnet, rolling in the bed, licking the chassis, just a regular shoot really :P

We got through several looks, from a bit of high fashion, 50's, gypsy, and grunge, still can't believe Rich's attention to detail and creativity on every shoot, even after working with the Chevy on several shoots, each shoot has been so different and crazy cool!

So many shoots in the pipeline that will be bigger and better than the last, so of course I can't wait to be back down again soon. As you can see from Rich's portfolio every shoot is special with an awesome location, epic props (some he makes himself!), and a wicked concept. He's one of the few photographers I've worked with that truly comes up with original and well thought out shoots :)

Thanks Rich, be seeing you soon!

So, Rich told me that me visiting Herfordshire to shoot with him in now in double figures. Time flies when youre having fun!

Literally lost count of how many shoots we have done now.

Working with Rich is the best, and from working together so much has resulted in a strong friendship!

This time we did two super cool concepts that were a lot of preperation, and they looked awesome in the edits!

Would recommend Rich over and over again.

Kayleigh Rose MUA

I worked with Arvee and model Jay Bee on a creative shoot. Arvee had several cool concepts he wanted to try and his pre-shoot comms were great, so I knew what make up he envisioned; however he was also open to my input. Arvee was fun to work with and the shoot flew by with lots of giggles. I hope to work with him again soon :)

Tink Kaos

Rich is incredible! Chatty, artistic, funny and extraordinarily respectful, his creative eye is endless and utterly awesome. We did a shoot on a rather beautiful Ducati motorbike and got some bloody excellent shots - between all the nattering and convo of course! Rich is a wonderful soul.

Highly recommended to all models - can't wait to work with this fella again!

Tink xx
