I’ve been to Riccardos FOUR times in less than six months now and I feel truely honoured! I’d go every week if I could! Richard is a dream to shoot with and shares my love for fashion nude and indulges my whacky styling ideas! What’s not to love?! Thankyou for yet another wonderful shoot my lovely 😊💖

Well.. Long overdue visit to see Mr lund since last year..... Can't believe it's been so long. We had a shoot last week but for the first time as a duo! The lovely Cariad joined myself and Mr Lund for the day and what a epic day of shootiness it was! Great fun, brilliant images what more could you ask for?

Richard is a brilliant photographer and the images speak for themselves. I cant wait to share the results! He is also professional, funny and has great taste in music ;)

Highly recommended!

I had my first shoot with Richard yesterday and we literally spent the whole day shooting! It was a very comfortable and relaxed atmosphere and we shot a total of 11 different looks.

I was a big fan of Richards work before I had the chance to arrange a shoot and after seeing yesterdays picks I am over the moon.

Richard creates a fun and relaxed time where you shoot as much as your body can create poses then we sit and look through our images. He has no issues with you getting as creative as you wish.

I brought a full case full of items and we almost shot everything I brought a first for me.

Richard kept me supplied with tea and snacks so I was looked after the whole day. Its safe to say I loved my day at your studio and will definitely be coming back!

Very highly reccomend to any model Richard lets you loose and you will get incredible images. Thank you for having me over and for a truly amazing, awesome day :D

In the space of two short months I’ve had the pleasure of working with Richard not once but THREE times already! I love coming to his studio. He creates such a relaxed and fun atmosphere and takes great care of me all day. We have literally shot everything from full clothed fashion right up to today’s wet look, oiled up coffee scrub nude set! It was messy and fun and Richard was happy to indulge my mad little creative idea. I’ve already seen incredible images being produced from what we shot only a few short hours ago and I’m so chuffed with the results, he’s made me look amazing! Thankyou for yet another amazing day Richard! You’re always highly recommend by me 😊

Ricardo rescued my cancelled shoot today, I'm so glad he did! We shot some incredible work today and we even shot a few wonderful duo sets with Mia Resa who I've wanted to meet for a while! So overall what originally was a failed day blossomed into a huge success! Thankyou for having me again! Xx

First me shooting with Riccardo today and I've had a wonderful time! We got through so so many different sets all very different from the last and I'm super impressed with everything! I'm so happy with how much we got shot today and we even had plenty of time for many a chin wag in between which is always nice! Super fun to work with and very respectful of levels ect. Pre coms were spot on. It's nice to come across other like minded creatives with excellent organisation skills! I'm excited to be coming back again soon and can be certain we will produce yet more stunning images. Thankyou for a fab day!

Highly recommended by me! X

Shooting with Riccardo can ever possibly get boring. One of the nicest most genuine and down to earth people I've had the pleasure of working with several times now. Super easy to get along with, his light set up is always spot on, and we always make a great team! I bring along the outfits, pose away and riccardo will always light it right and from the best possible angles. The creative ideas and energy continuously bounces between us, and the results are always spot on. Super talented, enthusiastic, respectful, trustworthy, a good laugh, and time sure does fly by!

Thanks again for such an amazing shoot/day

I had another fantastic shoot with Riccardo back in February (so sorry I got so behind on the references!) It was (if possible) even better than the first shoot- we created a variety of different looks, had lots of music, lots of tea and lots of laughter! I loved the images I saw in the back of the camera and would recommend Riccardo 100%

I had wanted to work with Riccardo for a long while and decided to contact him and see if he was interested in shooting!... And thankfully he said yes and we decided to go from there with planning a shoot. Riccardo's comms were brilliant all details and arrangements were easy and straight to the point. Absolutely perfect!

I absolutely loved our shoot! Riccardo was wonderful to work with, friendly, chatty, very polite and gentlemanly. The shoot space was nice and warm with plenty of facilities. The shoot itself absolutely flew by I can't believe how quick it went, but we managed to go through a large variety of ideas and themes at a relaxed pace concentrating on quality over quantity.

Riccardo is a fabulous photographer with great technical knowledge and took some beautiful images, playing around with lighting, angles and composition.

I was well looked after and even given a place to stay which was perfect, warm and comfortable.

So aside from the chatting, giggling and amazing images I would say that Riccardo is a very genuine and lovely person with a real talent for photography. Therefore I would absolutely recommend him to all models!

Thank you Riccardo for a wonderful shoot!.... Hopefully we will get the chance to do it again in the future!...

Ive worked with Riccardo quite a few times now so we know each other well and get along really well. I love going down to the studio because we always create something great together. We usually shoot a set and look ever the images together. Plenty coffee breaks or cig breaks in my case. Always enjoyable, would certainly recommend.

What a fantastic person and shoot! I had a truly fantastic time working with Riccardo on a recent tour in the North. Pre-shoot communication was excellent so I knew exactly what to bring and what kind of images we were after, he picked me up from the station and made sure I felt at home right away. Throughout the shoot, we reviewed the images on the computer and were able to make changes easily if needed- shooting a variety of images and accessories while having great chat with lots of music too. Highly recommended and looking forward to working together again.

Whose an awesome blast to shoot with and an extremely fantastic photographer?? Richards an awesome blast to shoot with and an extremely fantastic photographer!! :D

Wow, what a shoot! You would have never have suspected that it has been a good number of years since our last shoot before this one because we got into that flow instantly/no warming up - the crazy make-shift outfits came out first and Richard lit it like a boss leaving no stone unturned for photographic awesomeness. :) You know a shoot has epic success destined when the model feels totally confident rocking up with a chunk of memory foam for an idea and sticks a bra on her head mid-shoot... Richard's style has always been right up my street because the random moments just work: simplicity transforms to dramatic and silliness transforms into serious red-carpet material! He's without a hint of doubt a truly artistically and visually skilled man and his open arms for teamwork and sharing ideas/bouncing off each other generates a really grand shoot vibe that is totally priceless when doing a photoshoot as far as I'm concerned. When you get a feel for the shot and everyone on board is in the zone; the magic just happens and Richard has, since day one, valued the input of his models phenomenally.

So yes, Richard is one of those photographers who could photograph a model in a bin bag (idea for next time Richard?) and technically sculpt the shot with such perfection to make it look like that is obviously something you would wear on the Milan Catwalk. Crazy-stylish is an official new genre and it can be extremely challenging to get right, but take the time and care and work an idea like this gent does and it rocks! Very highly recommended to all models new and experienced, I cannot shout it from the rooftops load enough. :)

And of course, as always: it was a real laugh and giggle! We had a lot of nattering to do (a good few years worth after all) so we became champion multitaskers and chatted non-stop whilst working! Richard is the friendlies and most easy going person any model could hope to work with, we got through so much variety at a good pace and had a barrel of laughs simultaneously which really made the clock speed up. Richard has thee best etiquette every because there's no much good to come from a shoot that's fun but then you can dive into productive mode just as quick so you have the best of both worlds. A wonderful, professional chap with a heart of gold and I will sing praises for till the cows go home... Yummy herbal tea at the ready before a shot was taken and as a model I can think of any other way to make a model feel more comfortable than to have Richards lovely temperament. He knows his stuff whilst being the most courteous and team-orientated person on the planet. Always having had good communications from him, I cannot pass enough credit forth.

Thank you so much Richard! It was 1000 shades of spectacular working together again! :D

Fourth shoot with this absolutely awesome guy! His images speak for themselves, pure class.

We had a very successful first day but then unfortunately we had to cut it short and not shoot on the second day.. Richard and Sue are the most lovely hosts and made me feel very comfortable and welcome. They also made sure I was safe and left in good time the next day.

I can't thank you enough for your consideration and patience!

Highly recommended to all models, Richard is an absolute dream to work with, great sense of humour and a genius with a camera ;)

Had my second shoot with Richard today, wow it was fab as the first time.

We had a good natter followed by plenty of caffeine intake. (Makes a smashing cuppa)

Richard is so easy to get along with so down to earth, funny friendly and most of all very accommodating, he knows what he wants in order to achieve the best results!

We had fun playing along with lighting and picking out outfits, 5-6 sets and 4 hours later we were rewarded with fabulous images and it was great to receive positive feedback, I'm going to have a hard time choosing the best ones because they're all so fantastic.

If I could have it my way I'd welcome shooting with Richard everyday.

Amazing day, fun and full of laughs, thank you so much for having me, it's always a pleasure.

Definitely recommended to other models who need to work Richard.

Best wishes

My shoots with Richard are always great fun :D

The day runs at such a nice pace, with plenty of breaks and looking at the images on the computer in between sets. I do feel this is the best way to work as it truly gets the best images, the model feels nice and relaxed and due to not feeling rushed can then spend time putting outfits together and accessories to match. Seeing the images in between sets also really helps see what you are achieving and pushes you that bit harder :)

As always we got some mindblowingly epic images together and look forward to next time :D

Highly recommend by me :)

I got to work with Riccardo again when he came out to Cyprus on my photographic trip again. This is his second year!

I love having him along to these as he is so laid back and easy going. He remains one of my favourite people to work with, not only because of his easy going nature but also the fact he produces some really lovely work. Location work isn't something Riccardo usually does but he really comes into his own when he s=comes on these trips. I have to say I'm blown away by the images we created this time and they now rank as some of my favourite images of me.

Riccarda is a gem and somebody I hope to continue working with.

Highly recommended.

Rhianna Grey

I had yet again another super enjoyable and productive shoot with Richard at his studio. What amazes me is that every set we put together based on a few pre-discussed ideas always ends up completely different to our last combining some last minute ideas thrown in. I find the creative energy constantly bounces between us and so I could quite easily work with Richard all week long and we would never tire creating some amazing images.

Richard always love to experiment with various light set ups to suit easy style, and works at every angle while using various ways of framing to make the image really pop.... Very talented, and always a joy work with. He and Mrs L were very kind and accommodating and kindly had me stay the night. Also ( and I must add) Richard is a damn good cook and made the best fish pie I've ever had!

Thanks again for a fantastic day, and I look forward to our shoot again along with Thamiel.
