Just finishing up a shoot with this amazing talented photographer. Professional and kind, he's exceptionally easy to work with. Felt very comfortable working up to nude levels with him and another model.

Finally arranged a shoot with Richard after following his work for a while and pleased I did. He is lovely to talk to and certainly knows what he is doing with lighting and has a great eye for an image. It was also very useful to review the images after each set shot so the best could be picked out and we could see what was and was not working! Loved the images from today and looking forward to working together in the future, highly recommended :D

Woohoo I've just come back from a fantastic shoot with Richard. I was so excited to work with him and I really wasn't disappointed. His comms were excellent and organised. He was so friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived and I felt totally at ease.

We only had a very loose plan, and after some quick lighting setup we were soon on our way shooting. Richard has an wonderfully calm manner while shooting - easy going and relaxed, he allowed me to pose freely giving bits of direction where helpful. We chatted and laughed our way through the shoot, so the time simply flew by. I felt able to get really creative and share ideas with him. I felt like it was a real team effort and I can't wait to see the final edits.

If you get the chance to work with Richard then simply don't miss out! You won't regret it. Highly recommended.

Thanks so much Richard for a fabulous day. Can't wait until the next shoot!

Second time shooting with Richard after many month waiting whilst I popped out my baby!

Lovely to work with him again and hopefully it won't be over a year and a half until the next encounter!

Oh Jeez! I haven't a ruddy clue how many times I've worked with Richard now, must be two dozen!

Yesterday I shot between Ian (Iwfoto) and Richard, everyone was well behaved, there wasn't any squabbling over who shot first or what would be shot, Richard is such a perfect host offering advice, setting up lights, sorting teas and coffees whilst I was shooting with Ian, so brilliant.

Richard is one of the best photographers I've had the pleasure of knowing let alone being shot by, he's taught me all the tricks of the trade and still manages to teach me a new thing or two when I come by the studio which is why I try to shoot with Richard as much as I can, as well as shooting awesomeness!

Come on, what ya waiting for? Get yourself over to The Riccardo!

See you soon, thanks again,

Finally had the opportunity to shoot with Riccardo after some time out to have my daughter. He is the greatest! So easy to work with, great pre-comms, friendly, easy going and there is plenty of tea & cawfffeeeee :D

Had a very enjoyable shoot and played around with various different ideas.I am so pleased with the results from our shoot; Riccardo never disappoints.

Highly recommend working with him.

Had my second shoot with Richard and what an awesome shoot it was! Fun, relaxed and very productive, Richard has got a great eye for a great shot and I think we have got some awesome images. Great guy, genius photographer, good taste in music what more could a model ask for? Well a fully equipped home studio, gorgeous surroundings.... I could go on and on.

We flew through different sets and we had so many ideas there enough for another shoot already ;) I was really looking forward to this shoot and it exceeded expectations I can't thank you enough.

Totally worth every second the crazy mammoth journey (5 hour drive...) from my little corner in west Wales. Also thank you for the great advice the journey back was much better.

To all models this guy is one of the best, highly highly recommended by me, thanks again!

Had a great time shooting with Riccardo at his home studio today. He was absolutely brilliant to work with and I think we have created some great images.

His pace is lovely, breaking between sets to check the images so far so we can see what is working and planning what we would like to try next.

Very highly recommended and would love to work with this very talented photographer again!

Scarlett Fox

Well I've also lost count of how many times I've shot with dear ole Richard now, but before I say anything else, if it wasn't for Richards kindness and patience I wouldn't have gotten to the level of modelling I'm at today! And we both keep going up a notch at every shoot, we got hundreds of amazing shots in our day together, but we've both gotten to the point of being picky and saying "Nah we can do better!"

It's really never work when I shoot with Richard, it's having a good gossip, laughing, swapping knowledge, having a whole lot of fun, great music, and of course awesome shots.

We've got a rather different couple of shoots coming up in the pipe line, so I know we'll have beat this weeks shoot all over again, so God knows what we'll be up to by next year eeek!

Always highly, highly, recommended by me, and I'm so excited for later this month with our next shoot :)

See you soon,

Oh, this fellow is just lovely! We shot last week for the day at his beautiful little studio next to his equally stunning house, and I immediately felt comfortable with him - he was warm, friendly, and chatty, offered me coffee straight off the bat (which I was gagging for after the journey!) and we spent a little while discussing ideas, listening to music and just generally having a lovely time.

Then the shooting started! Riccardo is an amazing photographer too, aside from being extra sweet, and we shot so many awesome sets, got some beautiful images. Just an awesome fellow to work with, and I would work with him again in a heart beat - highly recommended.

I have worked with Richard twice now and could not recommended him highly enough! I had the pleasure of having my first taste of modelling at his studio which is a great workspace complete with fluffy dressing gowns and biscuits!

Richard made me feel so at ease and his way of work whereby he sits with the model to go through the images and the end of each set is excellent. We were able to tether images that we both liked ready for a final selection.

I have the feeling that I will work with Richard much more and I look forward to it, as he always produces fantastic images!

Richard was one of two photographers that joined me on my Cyprus photography trip. Richard and the other photographer Huw got on really well which made the week so much more wonderful. Richard, as ever, was a joy to work with and seemed to enjoy his time away. We got some fab images in some wonderful locations.

Very highly recommended.

Nicole Rayner

Well....I loved Richards work from the moment I saw it, so I was very excited when we were orginising a shoot together, however due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel, so you can imagine my excitement when Scarlett Fox got in touch and invited me to a shoot with herself Pheobe Walker, and Richard!! It was fate that Richard and I should work together! And I'm so glad we did!

Richard kindly allowed us three ladies to take control (we didn't really give him a choice haha) the poor man had to listen to girl talk for the entire shoot! Whilst trying to keep us focused haha! He was fabulous! So easy to work with!

Such a lovely, warm hearted, genuine man! (with such a lovely, welcoming wife I might add). He is so welcoming! He also has a great way of working! - He is quick and precise. And gets results! He kindly tethers the images and discusses his images with his models, which can only help get the best results!

I love the images Richard has produced already and I am so looking forward to seeing more! I am also looking forward to working with Richard again - he was an absolute pleasure! A very talented photogropher and I highly reccomend him!

:D Thanks Richard - see you for: Riccardo, Jaime-Nicole, and the three-legged sitting contraption! (Will work on the shoot title )

Spent another wonderful day with Richard at the beginning of my tour :)

It is always a pleasure working with him, and as usual I am really chuffed with the images we created together :D

The day is always nice and relaxed and he makes time to show you all the images on the computer and pick favourites together too :)

Highly recommended by me!!

Silk

I had my first shoot with Richard on Sunday, what a highly fun and creative day it was. It exceeded expectations in every way!

He is a kind, funny and intelligent man with a great eye for a awesome shot and great taste in music!

Time flew and I only wished I could've stayed longer! But was totally worth the drive. Can't recommend working with Richard enough, a true creative. Absolutely love the images, totally think we made some magic!

Look forward to organising another shoot and working with you again 😄 x

I had my first shoot with Richard on Sunday and it was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon!

The studio is lovely and well equipped to create different sets.

Richard is an absolute pleasure to work with, laid back with a great sense of humour. The shoot flew by and we managed to get lots of different sets done, reviewing as we went, which i found really useful to enable us to get the best shot in that set.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending Richard to anyone, he is a great chap to work with and got my images back to me really fast within 48 hours!

I love the images we created together and am looking forward to another shoot in the very near future :)

Rachelle Summers

I had another superb shoot with Richard on my recent trip to his neck of the woods!

He is so much fun to work with, laid back and chatty and a great sense of humour. He also cares a great deal about the images he creates, his passion for photography is very clear. He makes sure the lighting and styling are exactly what he is after, and instead of taking millions of photos he does short sets before reviewing on the computer to see if we are both happy with that set of whether we want to take a couple more. It's a great way of working as it really gets you involved in the creative process and in turn I feel improves my modelling and I get some seriously good images working with him :)

As before it was just a hoot and a real pleasure spending the day in his company.

Highly, highly recommended by me :D

Finally had the chance to work with Richard in September of 2015 (after many years of portfolio stalking);

We had a great shoot, really relaxed and fun; the studio itself is lovely and light, and set in a really peaceful location that would also work well for outdoor shoots- I even got to play with cats and chickens :D

I was a little concerned(having had a something of a break from modelling) that I'd be a bit out of practice, but due to the calm and relaxed atmosphere we quickly found our momentum and got some lovely results.

Would definitely recommend working with Richard :)

Elle Beth

I had an amazing shoot with Richard yesterday at his home studio. I was really well looked after and Sue his wife is a really wonderful person and bakes tasty scones!

I really enjoyed the process of the shoot and how Richard develops each set by properly looking through everything on the computer to make sure we have got the shots and discuss further ideas, which made the day really relaxed.

I couldn't recommend Richard highly enough he is a great photographer, person and professional in everything he does.

I hope to get another chance to shoot again soon!

Rosslin

Very nice session with amazing effects. Richard is involved in his work as a photographer. Improves when to change something and enhance.

For me the most important was that he let me sit like this and thus feel we have a great effect. In the future, I am interested subsequent photo shoots.

Highly recommended :)

Thank you, Richard. I would recommend to any interested model's :)
