I had the pleasure of working with Rich for the first time a few months ago (I'm so sorry for the lateness of this reference).

Rich is such a welcoming and lovely person. He makes a cracking cup of tea and he has a really chilled out way of shooting. Shooting with Rich is a pleasure and I really enjoyed out time. We focussed on portraits and I even got rich to shoot something a little lighter - eep! We got some fab images.

I can highly recommend Rich and I do hope we will get to work together again some time.

Lost count of what number shoot this is with Rich ... and its definitely not the last! Rich is like a big cuddly santa claus :D haha (no cuddles allowed). But seriously, Rich is great fun to shoot with and you're guarenteed GREAT images too (even though he will disagree). If you get the chance to shoot... take it! You will not be dissapointed! Have some crazy idea that involves you flying in trees, swimming with ducks or in a bath tub in woods with bubbles... Rich is the photographer for you! Always highly recommended :D Can't wait for our next shoot!

I scuttled my way over to Rich's last Wednesday for a last minute fantabulous day out, we had so much fun even with the weather against us!

Instead of freezing our knackers off we decided to start planning our shoot for next month and had a look into next years antics.

We got so much done, we've arranged all the styling for our next two big shoots that are coming up, and discussed some filmography together which I am super excited to announce, and had a play with go pros.

Rich is one of my closest friends and he knows how my crazy mind works, he's one of the very few photographers who doesn't run away screaming when I start suggesting shoot ideas, which is lovely! :)

Rich also has some amazing ideas, one of which will be shot next month, I'm giddy just thinking about it!

There isn't a thing Rich can't shoot, if he can put up with my shenanigans then he can take on anything, whether you are new to modelling or been at it for years, Arvee will always be a diamond in your portfolio!

See you soon!

So I got to shoot again with Rich, and never will I want to stop shooting with him! Always picks up / drops off at the station, best pre coms EVER, and buys you sweeties!!

Shooting with Rich is becoming more like shooting with a friend for fun, he is super chilled out and always a laugh.

Already booked my next shoots with Rich, and I can't wait - a creative mine with lots of weird, wonderful and brilliant ideas!

I would definitely recommend working with Rich :D

I got to work with Rich again a few days ago when he came over to join me for a scary Halloween shoot at my haunted mansion-! ;) ;)

Rich is a good friend now so it's always fab to catch up with him and shoot too! We got loads of cool images and had such a great couple of hours.

Rich was kind enough to supply me the coffin for the Halloween shoot and went to so much effort to make it for me the least I could do was let him shoot me in it first!!

BIG thanks, Rich, AKA- Grim reaper. Hope to see you again soon :)

I met Rich at the Halloween studio event, at Artemis Faunas crib. Rich was a cool fella, easy going and laid back. It's always great when photographers are on the same wavelenght :-)

Highly recommended.

Arvee booked in to shoot me on my model day at the Natural Light Space. He is prompt on comms and we sorted things out extremely efficiently. On the day he arrived well in time, and let me choose my own outfit which was great as I got to wear a dress I have been wanting to wear for aaaages :) The shoot was very relaxed and experimental, we shot fashion and nude with a lot of expressive faces and poses. We also had a good chat and laugh, and we created some awesome images! Blown away by the edits I've seen so far :) Highly recommended and I would be very happy to shoot with Arvee again!

Natural Light Spaces

Arvee came into the studio today for a slot as part of our first official model day witH Em Theresa.

Firstly I should say that Arvee is a big gentle giant of a man with a big heart. So easy to have around, respectful, considerate and just an all round good guy.

He worked so well and with such a relaxed style with Em.

They worked through a number of sets trying out new lighting styles and ideas.

Can speak more highly of this guy and he is welcome back in the studio any time.

Well this was a long time coming,

So I made sure I was free for today and I would walk hot coals for this to happen,infact I was poorly with a infection after having my tooth out and a lovely bruise which added to our images (I call that a result) rich was also feeling poorly but between us we pushed to get what we could :)

Rich is an absolute gentleman,and has been very supportive of my work,we knew we were shooting location and we wanted something different,which it turned out rather a different shoot indeed,scrambling under fences and through benches to get unusual shots,some funny looks were given but that didn't deter us no sir we kept going.

I would recommend Rich 100%

thank you Rich not only for supporting me as a photographer but being there to support me as a friend

Until the next time my friend

I've had a couple of shoots with Arvee and both were fantastic. Lovely guy, makes you feel comfortable from the moment that you show up. We spent as much time giggling as shooting. Inapropriatefriends.com, it will happen one day!

Pictures awesome and prompt, there is nothing not to recommend. Hope to shoot with him again soon.

Another top shoot with Rich last Saturday, poor ole Rich had no idea that he was not only going to be shooting with me but Soria as well!

What an incredible night out, we started off in a few locations around Stevenage, including an industrial estate for some silhouette shots and slightly gritty duo fashion shots.

We then had a drive around to find any more locations, we found some great shop windows, street lamps, and a few other little hidden locations that were perfect for our grit and grunge shoot!

Rich knows the best locations to shoot from, no matter what idea I throw at him! After a few hours Rich was soaked and broken (it was raining and cold!) from Soria and I bullying him all over the place, so he even dropped us off with another photographer for an hour before picking us back up.

He even fed us pizza (thank you!), we stayed over the night at Rich's so he could drop me off at the train station in the morning.

Rich never ceases to amaze me, his photography is outstanding, every shot he takes tells a story, he never brings tons of lights he just works with the environment he has and makes it perfect, he works so quickly when working on a street you just don't have time to but with Rich he automatically knows what's he's doing, and I even have time to get a quick change in!

Such an amazing shoot, Rich has become such a dear friend to me so we will obviously have many, many more shoots to come!

See you soon,

Such a brilliant shoot!! I can't praise enough Rich, he was so well prepared for the shoot, made sure I was happy with everything , watered and fed all the time.

We created some awsome images!!!

Rich is a very good photographer with a sense of humour which makes the shoot enjoyable throughout the day!

Can't wait to shoot together again !

Highly recommended

I had a brilliant shoot with rich on Monday! This was our second shoot and we had lots of ideas to share and discuss! Rich showed me lots of beautiful locations and the pictures are amazing! We are already planning our next shoot! Would highly recommend!

Jay Bee

Well - I got to shoot with Rich for a second time yesterday - this time we had a super cool theme which included bubbles! (Note: he does not like bubbles in his face) Working with Rich is so nice and easy, literally like a friend with a camera who happens to be super talented at what he does! so you don't mind doing the most silly things and having a great laugh on the shoot, which is guaranteed.

I would definitely recommend Rich with out a second thought, to both models and photographers a like and cannot wait for our next shoot!

P.S. He also makes an amazing white chocolate cheesecake - so models, make sure you bargain getting this in with your shoot!

Delta Topaz

Well what can I say about Arvee.. what an awesome gentleman! We'd been communicating for a while before this impromptu shoot, just chatting and it wasn't until I'd mentioned that I'd be down in London with work that we'd arranged to meet. Initially for a chat and a drink, we met, ate, drank and decided to do a couple of shots in and around Kings Cross. Arvee is such a pleasant and easy going guy, however he doesn't give himself enough credit of how great he actually is! He was super prompt in getting images back to me and they are super! I can't wait to work with you again Arvee.. :)

I applied to a last minute casting call as I was available and local to Rich and i'm so glad i did!

We got along straight away because he is a very chilled character.

He had organised a really cool shoot at a great location with a brilliant truck and props, he also got the photos to me the day after and i am over the moon with them!

I'm so happy i met and worked with RIch, he's professional, creative and driven (on 2 wheels :D)

He will tell you he's a shit photographer but don't believe a word of it he is wonderful!

Hope to work with him on a regular basis :)

I got to shoot with Rich today and absolutely LOVED it! He picked me up from the station and because pre communications were so good it felt like I already knew him. I was fed lots of biscuits and kept watered in between locations - the second location was the best location I've ever been to! Rich definitely knows his stuff, showing me the differences on camera as we went a long so I knew what he was up to the other side of the lens. We had such a fun and chilled out shoot, not taking it all too seriously - which are the best kind!

After the shoot we sat down and went through all the photos (which were amazing!) and had a play with editing and uploaded one on purpleport right there and then.

I had such a fun day and would definitely recommend working with Rich - you will definitely have a fun shoot.

Can't wait to shoot with you again Rich :D

Rich and I have been taking about shooting together for a little while now and I am so pleased we managed to get together!

Rich is very kind, sweet, considerate, professional and friendly basically all of the positive adjectives you could want in a photographer!

We shot at L.R.M photography's place and we made use of the setup's and got some lovely images! Rich also bought a gorgeous cheesecake so he's a winner in my books!

I really do hope we get to organise another shoot together at some point and shoot some more epic-ness!

Thank you Rich ♥

Yay! I got to work with the ever so lovely Rich again last week, and boy did he pull out all the stops!

So here's the boring bit, pre comms were great, he arranged the coolest of props and found the most brilliant locations, he arrived on time and dropped me off (totally knackered hehe) at the end of the day.

Fun stuff! So we started our crazy day off by shooting with the most gorgeous Chevy I have ever seen, totally restored under the hood, yet still had its paint peeling off for a really groovy effect. We did a really fun hill billy look for this and I even got an edit back at the end of the day for this, and I thought I'd gone back to the 60's!

We then popped back to his for a spot of lunch and edit play, then we went back out to a corn field so I could play the part of The Grim Reaper, how's that for a change!

By this point in the day it had started raining and was quite miserable and we thought well what can we do now? So we nipped back to his and I said come on I'm putting on a wedding dress, pass me that gas mask, right lets find a pond or a canal, so we ventured back out and found a little spot, so wedding dress on and a gas mask as well, then Rich passes me a base ball bat, yep I looked pretty strange to the locals! Got some more totally awesome shots and went back to his for our final set!

Still raining, windy, and cold, I bullied Rich into a swimming pool for some underwater shots (yep I'm really mean) we managed about an hour before climbing out totally frozen, I was very happy :)

The day disappeared in the blink of an eye, it was a day filled with laughter and moaning about life in general so it was quite similar to a WI meeting. I've now got all the shots back in less than a week and I'm so excited to have an upload session!

More shooty madness to come though in October when we'll be venturing out into the woods, not to mention a massive team shoot we'll be having next year, I'm literally bouncing at the thought!

So I'm biased with Rich being a close friend, but come on look at his portfolio, if you're not tempted to shoot, you're more mad than us.

See you soon!

Best shoot i have had so far, really enjoy the shoot today. Had such a laugh, relaxed atmosphere which is what i love! Talked loads & gave lots of advice & insight into the industry. Lots of different ideas unfortunately couldnt so some due to sunlight on location but still kept the ideas flowing.

Weird but wonderful i would say ;) hahahaa - you know what i mean :D

Hope to shoot again with lots more fun ideas. Definitely 100% from me :)

Ps I LOVE YOUR DOGS :D :D
