Had a great first shoot with Richard who was kind enough to also shoot my first nude shoot.

He was very patient with me on this and really helped my confidence with it. The fashion sets we did were also amazing and he captured the ideas I had perfectly.

Really hope to work with him again soon and hopefully have a bit longer!

Highly recommended

I had a fantastic shoot with Richard yesterday, as always he is amazing to work with. Richard is very courteous, making sure I'm warm, comfortable, happy to let me have breaks, and boy he can make a cracking cup of tea (this is very important). There's very rarely any planning with Richard, he always let's me just go crazy and pack my odd ideas, I always feel comfortable working with him, and I can always push my boundaries and do something completely different. His new studio is wonderful, complete with dressing gowns, clothes, make up, make up and nail polish remover, heaters, white walls and corners to work in, back drops, and an assortment of different lights (which created the most groovy effects yesterday).

Besides being a fabulous photographer, Richard has a heart of gold, and helped me save a baby rabbit, which meant taking me to the vet after our shoot and then graciously back to Doncaster. I can't recommend Richard highly enough! I'm sure we work together very soon.

Thank you for a unusual day,

I had a really enjoyable shoot with Richard at his new home set up studio, it really is incredible, he has converted one of the out buildings into a studio.

It had all you needed, back drops, large white area, props, a lovely changing area for the model.

I felt Richard and his wife, looked after me very kindly on my shoot there as if I got cold we could go into the house and have a warm through by the fire, they provided a lovely lunch for me too which was very kind.

We had the whole day to shoot, however the time seemed to fly by.....as it can do sometimes!

I thoroughly enjoyed the day and we got some gorgeous images from it.

All in all, certainly would recommend Richard to other models, he treats the model very well, is respectful, friendly, professional and very easy to be in his company.

Thanks again Richard, I am sorry the reference has taken me soooo long.

Shot with the lovely Riccardo yesterday

He is the ultimate gentleman! he made me feel at ease instantly - his studio space was very warm, comfortable and interesting lol! Our pre communication was great - Riccardo also doesnt 'micro manage' but at the same time he knows what he wanted from the shoot which makes my job a lot easier!!

I would 100 percent recommend any model to shoot with Riccardo - as well as doing a photoshoot - i had a lovely day!

Had a brilliant shoot with Riccardo. Pre- communications was great, he was professional, easy going, funny and generally a nice to be around. Whilst shooting he gave directions if needed but also allowed me to have as much input into the shoot as I wanted. After each set we was able to go through images which I found to be very helpful. From what I saw the images are excellent. Thank you for an enjoyable day. Hope we can shoot again in the future. Recommended to all.

Struggled to get to the studio but Riccardo found me and picked me up, he's ridiculously easy to get along with whilst remaining professional. I love the way he works the shoot out, definitely a number 1 photographer to work with,

I had a wonderful day down at Maunsel house with Riccardo yesterday. We clicked straight away and got the ideas flowing easily. He is very easy to work with and the shoot was fun throughout. His pre comms were excellent and it was easy to get an idea of what he wanted to achieve through his emails.

Amazing location to shoot in with an amazing photographer. What more could you ask for?

I can't wait to see the results and I hope to shoot with him again in the future. Most defiantly highly recommended!

I had the unexpected pleasure of working with Riccardo last week at Maunsel house, I only got an hour with him but thoroughly enjoyed it and wished we could have had longer!

Riccardo is an absolute pleasure to work with, he has a relaxed attitude and allowed me pose away as I pleased giving direction where needed. I love his style of work, as you can see from his portfolio he produces classy and tasteful images using mostly natural light.

True professional and talented photographer I only wish I had had longer to work with him

Highly recommend!!!

Thanx

I had a fabulous shoot with Riccardo, after many months of umming and ahhing about asking to work with him :P

He's lovely, the shoot was relaxed, we reviewed images after each set and went back to improve poses if we needed to. Riccardo is helpful when it comes to creative ideas, he is polite, makes gooooood cwaffee and knows how to flatter a woman with his camera and lighting :)

I certainly hope to work with Riccardo again and create even more awesome images - I highly recommend you work with him if you have the chance - don't be afraid to ask!

Thanks for a fab day, Riccardo!

Well... I don't really know where to start to be honest.

After months and months of chatting to and planning and talking about shoots with this extremely talented man we finally settled a date, and I have to say, looking at the amazing quality of his photos and his undeniable talent with a camera I was really nervous. I'm not Riccardo's usual style of model and was worried this was going to be a problem. But in our communication Riccardo was amazingly helpful and calm and so easy to talk to and have a laugh with.

I drove from Norwich to Derbyshire to go and shoot with him and could not be gladder (is that even a word?!) that I did. From the second I arrived in my Giraffe onesie (oh yes I went there!) he was nothing but lovely, this man has epic epic talent not only for photos, but his tea making (it is legendary for a reason!) the shoot was not rushed, and was so relaxing and we stopped after each set to review the photos so far and tag ones we liked.

I could not have felt more comfortable and I hope he will have me back in the future for some more shooty fun.

If you have not shot with this man yet... GET ON IT!! x

It was so lovely to shoot with Riccardo again. It has been 3 years since we last shot and it was absolutely fantastic! Riccardo (richard) picked me up from the train station and we went to our usual studio spot. We tried some interesting outfits and styles for our shoot and I am really pleased with what I saw from the previews. Riccardo is friendly, polite and is excellent at angles and making things look awfully flattering! I am very grateful and cant wait to shoot again.. hopefully not another 3 years next time! :D I can happily recommend him anyone, new or professional, for fashion, high fashion and beautiful art nude/lingerie work. Thank you Riccardo! :)

Had the pleasure of working with the one and only Riccardo. Amazing photographer, gives useful, constructive feedback, as well as being a genuinely lovely guy. Would definitely recommend. Also, the tea was rather excellent!

This was the second time I've had the pleasure of working with Riccardo and even though it was a lights test kinda day it was still great fun and I came out of it having learned some lighting techniques to boot! And as always, the tea was cracking.

Rachelle Summers

Well what can I say about Richard!

I absolutely loved working with him. He was kind enough to put me up the night before and looked after me extremely well.

He is uber relaxed with his shooting style which means you can really focus on getting the best images you can possibly get, going through each set afterwards and making sure you've nailed an image before moving on to the next set.

Working with him was a total pleasure and I hope to work with him again in the future :)

I was asked by Alexa to be a MUA for a shoot she was doing with Riccardo.

It was the first time i'd met both of them and I sincerely hope it wont be the last.

I had an absolute blast, I was allowed as much time as I needed and made to feel extremely welcome.

Great guy and fun to work with.

Well what can i say! I missed this man so much! After a few years of not shooting we FINALLY hooked up again and produced some cracking images,,, I love working with Richard and he is a great photographer. He knows exactly how to bring out the best in every image. He is friendly, fun and makes a cracking cup of coffee and tea (from the teapot) always makes me feel welcome. I have had a look at pre edited images and i am very excited to see them in all their glory. We have vowed not to leave it so long to shoot and meet up again. This guy is a gem, Be sure to snap up a shoot with him. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Richard for having me :) xx

Another one of many shoots with Richard today (following a two year gap). I've always enjoyed every shoot - I love working with photographers who are receptive to my ideas (or sometimes merely my vague concepts!). I've always found shooting with Richard to be very productive, whilst also enjoyable and relaxed. More than anything, I'm always thrilled with the results, and find it hard to choose my favourite images - always the sign of a good shoot. Thanks again, Richard.

Today I had the pleasure of working with Richard. Whom might I add was a perfect gentleman, and made a wicked cup of tea! As for the pictures well I knew he was a fantastic tog but I was blown away when he showed me the images we had just shot. He was happy to let me move freely, but was also able to step in with any direction he saw fit for it. I would certainly recommend Richard!

Thank you for a wonderful shoot darling.
