I joined Richard for a full day of shooting at the wonderful Carlton Towers. We have worked together many times and each time it is a real pleasure.

Rich provided transport for me which was very much appreciated.

We had a very productive day as always, and produced some really lovely images!

I'd highly recommend working with Rich, he is so easy to get along with and has always been friendly and very accomodating each and every time we have worked together. He's great at what he does!

A top photographer!

Had another great shoot with Rich recently. We tend to shoot at his home which is beautiful and has plenty of great spaces to shoot, not to mention his home studio which is well equipt and just generally awesome to shoot in! He's very accomodating and we always get some awesome shots when we work together. Thanks Rich for another great shoot, I look forward to working with you again!

I met Richard on Saturday when he kindly let me come to his home to shoot for a clothing brand.

He has a beautiful spacious house and his studio is amazing and so well equipped. I also got some gorgeous location shots from the surrounding areas.

Richard is a lovely guy, he's so easy to work with and so professional. I would highly recommend him to any model. We have already spoken about working together again so I'll look forward to creating some more amazing images :)

(Sorry for the late referencing) Had my first shoot with Rich last week, I’ve always admired Rich’s work so when he put a casting call I knew I had to get a wriggle on.

I arrived on time with a brew just right waiting for me (Rich makes awesome cuppas) we’d had a good natter first discussing which sets we were going to shoot. Honestly it felt like I’d known Rich for years it was such a brilliant day a fabulous guy with a wicked sense of humour all the while being uber professional, I gotta say his house/studio is to die for so stunning, spacious and super warm.

Rich is definitely one of those guys who will accommodate you and he did just that, kept me recafinated in between small breaks.

6/7 sets later and after reviewing the images we both agreed it was an epic day, that 3 year wait to work with Rich has certainly made it worth my while.

I can’t thank him enough for an incredible day, I can’t stop looking at the work we did. Yaaay well done us!

I’m looking forward to our next epic shoot, absolutely without a shadow of doubt recommend Rich 100% top photographer.

I was delighted to finally get the chance to shoot with Richard yesterday after admiring his work for some time.

Richard has a fantastic home/studio to shoot from, which is well-equipped and could keep any model/photographer happy for hours I'm sure. The natural lighting is also beautiful to work with.

I am delighted with the images we shot, and they reflect just what a talented photographer Richard is. Not to mention a genuinely lovely person who is so easy to get along with and instantly makes you feel at home.

I definitely hope to have the chance to work with Richard again and would highly recommend him :)

Ive lost count on how many times we have worked together! I havent left an updated reference for 3 years so here it is.

Rich is great! As the rest of the references state, his house/studio is immaculate and great for shooting, along with nice locations nearby to his house.

He has a new addition to the house in the form of a gorgeous doggy - even if you are scared of dogs you have nothing to worry about with this one, shes very calm and quite shy.

The day was nice and relaxed, great brew, good music and funny jokes as always.

I got photos back within the week from our shoot.

Will definitely be working with Rich again. :D

I have worked with Richard multiple times shooting all sorts of styles from fashion up to erotic/art nudity.

Richard is an excellent and really talented photographer full of ideas and concepts. :) he is really professional and knowledgeable about photography and working with models. His pictures are always up to a high standard and I can be always sure everything will look just great !

Besides that, Richard is a wonderful person ! So friendly, incredibly funny, always chatty and easy going! We always like to catch up with things at the beginning of each shoot which is great and that makes me feel so comfortable and in ease.

Richard always makes sure I feel good and comfortable and he is always open to any suggestions or new ideas I have. We always have so much laugh and fun and that makes our shoot go absolutely smoothly and it feels like literally chatting over a coffee :)

Hopefully I will work with Richie soon. I highly recommend him to every model :)

Thank you !

We live only 30mins apart from each other yet our schedules for the last 3 years have always been so busy we have never had time to shoot! - but last night our schedules didn't clash and we had our first shoot!

I arrived to Rich's beautiful home -( wow its impressive!) and was greeted at the door - he made me a lovely brew and we got chatting before we started to shoot - which I always find nice to discuss ideas first and break the ice.

Rich's home studio is amazing, he has all the kit and gadgets any one would need and a custom home made ring light - i'm a sucker for ring lights so this was a big win for me!

We shot some head shots, some fashion and some different stuff with lazers and a smoke machine!

Loved working with rich - its great when you can find someone so creative and even better when your personalties work well together too!

look forward to the next one

Who knew 4 years had passed since our first ever shoot? Crazy! Well after 'some' time and responding to Richard's recent casting we managed to arrange our second shoot which was just yesterday again at Rich's out of this world stunning bungalow home and studio space.

We discussed prior to the shoot, ideas and mood boards so we both knew what we needed to prepare for the day.

On arrival Rich was ready and as friendly as ever waiting for me as I pulled up. We chatted over a brew and seemed we had a lot to catch up on (as ever) :D before we started with the shoot.

Once in full flow there was no stopping us! We shot natural light window images which were utterly stunning, moody contrasty lingerie/erotic nudes which were mind-blowingly good, some edgy fashion with punchy lighting (very cool) and then some creative space lingerie and nudes using natural light and just a lamp light....again these were exceptional.

Rich is a very talented photographer and its clear we have both come a long way since we both were first starting out 4 years or so ago. I really enjoy his company, great fun, very relaxed, talks as much as I do but then we were shooting it's 'bang bang and we've nailed the shots'. Crazy!

100% recommended and will certainly be up for working with Rich again :D

Can't wait to look through the images now,

I travelled over to hull today to work with Richard at his *amazing* home and studio!! It was absolutely immaculate, with all the pro kit you could imagine. The space was a delight to work in, clean, warm & welcoming with fantastic natural light. I enjoyed working with Richard; who despite being in a wheelchair conducted an absolutely flawless shoot. Nothing stops him from shooting like any other photographer. The shoot was organised in a matter of minutes, lunch and lifts to and from the station were provided. He allowed lots of breaks and let me do my job without over-directing. He was also very receptive to all of my suggestions, always being respectful of my levels. Great sense of humour & amazing images. What more could you want? Can't wait to go back: extremely highly recommended.

I had the most wonderful pleasure of shooting with Richard yesterday at his lovely home studio. Pre comms were quick and the shoot was easily arranged, he picked me up at Hull station and dropped me off with time to spare at the end of the day (thank you!)

So Richard wanted to try something new and different for him, fashion nude, which is my favourite genre to shoot, so I was very much at home. His home studio is amazing by the way, so many differently coloured walls, great height, and gorgeous floors. We had a coffee before we started our shoot to discuss what to shoot first and what we wanted to achieve throughout the day.

Despite us chatting nearly the whole shoot away, I think we must have gotten about 6 sets done in our four hours together! And each set was better than the last!

Richard is a great photographer, which can be seen in his portfolio, but he's also a great person, the shoot was so chilled and I knew in the pre comms that I was going to get on with him, such a chatty, bubbly, fun guy to work with, I can't recommend him highly enough! The shoot was gone before I knew it, I can't wait to work with Richard again, so easy to work with, and as a major bonus he has great taste in music!

Easily and highly recommended by me, and looking forward to the next time!

I had a first shoot with Richard and I can't wait to shoot again !

Richard is really professional and friendly person. Made me feel really welcome in his house ( which was absolutely amazing 😀) and I am sure we did some great work together. We definitely built up a rapport that is necessary while shooting 😊. I would recommend Richie to anyone who would like images and a photographer who exactly knows what he is doing.

Richard is a very easy photographer to work with. we shot from portraits to nude and i felt at ease throughout the whole session. it was my first nude shoot and I would definitely recommend Richard. his studio is very professional and he has all of the equipment needed to get some great results.
