I had the pleasure of working with Richard during my studio days at Basford Hurst Cottage. He is an incredibly talented photographer with a keen eye for detail. I was blown away by the photos I saw on the back of his camera and I can't wait to see the final edits. We're already planning our next shoot together, and I'm excited to see what we create. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking for a talented and passionate photographer.

Richard came back to Basford Hurst Cottage this weekend to shoot for the afternoon with Sophia Gray. We haven't seen Richard in about a year so it was lovely to welcome him back to Basford.

Richard arrived on time with everything he needed for the shoot, including plenty of edible goodies as well (which we are still working our way through now haha!).. Not to mention a little Star Wars gift for Simon.. Bonus brownie points right there!!!

During his time here Richard worked well with Sophia and was once again respectful of our location. He took many wonderful images and we are very much looking forward to seeing the final edits!!

We would have no trouble recommending Richard and look forward to seeing him at Basford again soon! Thank you Richard.

I had the absolute delight of working with Richard at Aura studios on my brief recent UK visit. Richard and I had talked online for a while and I was glad we were able to line up a shoot together at last!

Richard is very kind and funny, creating an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere to collaborate within. Richard was also considerate in bringing snacks and picking me up for the shoot which was a huge help to me and very much appreciated.

Finally, from the back of the camera the photos look fantastic. I would happily work with Richard again any time!

I worked with Richard again on a group event in Latvia this year. We have previously worked together in a number of different settings albeit many years ago! I am very happy to recommend him, the photos that he took are beautiful - I really like his arty vision and easygoing manner, he’s so easy to shoot with and makes you feel confident and comfortable when you are modelling for him. Richard is really friendly, sensitive and of a gentle nature - a kind soul who really goes the extra mile to make the shoot nice. And of course we are yorkshire kinsmen so we had a lot of fun and banter which I appreciated hugely 😃😄 hope it’s not too long til next time.

This was my second shoot with Richard, and just as brilliant as the first (despite the British weather which was particularly wet and chilly on that day). We shot at Wortley Top Forge, which Richard booked for the entire day and it was such a productive, awesome shoot. Richard is a wonderful photographer, so creative and has such great eye for detail. He is amazing at using natural light and his images speak for themselves. As well as being awesome at photography, Richard is lovely to be around, he is friendly, chatty and easy to get along with. I can highly recommend him to other models and studios, thank you Richard

This was my first shoot with Richard at Basford Hurst Cottage (what an amazing place to shoot!)The original date of the shoot had to be rescheduled at short notice because of train strikes to which Richard was very understanding and accommodating. Pre communication was spot on, Richard is very easy to get along with, friendly but also professional. The shoot itself was amazing, we got so many fantastic images that I am proud of. I can highly recommend Richard to other models and studios.

Richard came to shoot with Infinity Valerie at her re scheduled studio day. Richard has been absolutely brilliant throughout the booking process and really flexible when unfortunately the shoot had to be postponed due to train strikes.

Richard arrived at the studio fully prepared and ready to shoot with Val. It was so nice to talk to him throughout the shoot, he's a wonderful person with an amazing personality!! He also happens to be an incredible photographer (have you seen his images?!?!) - and the shoot with Val was no exception!! The back of the camera looked amazing!!

Richard comes highly recommended from us at Basford Hurst Cottage and I really hope to see him again soon!!! Thanks so much Richard!!

It was amazing to shoot with Richard ! He is a very kind,funny person,a great photographer with interesting ideas!

Crossroads Studio

Today was Richard’s first time at Crossroads Studio. He had booked in to LEnza’s studio day.

Richard arrived with ideas of what he wanted to shoot and he and LEnza appeared to be on the same page when they started shooting.

Richard is a very professional photographer and his knowledge of lighting was very good. He had his set ups sorted and he and LEnza were soon shooting away.

Richard is very easy to get along with and can be seen from his portfolio is a very experienced photographer.

I can definitely recommend Richard to all models, new or experienced

First time shooting with Richard during my model day at Crossroad studio at the weekend and hopefully not the last one!

The 2 hours went so fast! Richard arrived full of ideas and energy! We started with some art nude and ended with some fashion nude. Using oil and water.

Working with him was easy and fun. He was giving me useful directions and together we created amazing images. Impressed from the back of the camera, I can’t wait to see the final results!

Great photographer, lovely person. Friendly and fun. Shooting with him you’ll have a great time and amazing pictures. 100% recommended

Looking forward to working with him again!

Thank you so much Richard for the amazing shoot! :)

Worked with Richard at least 5 times now, over the years, but never wrote a reference. His work has continued to improve, he knows his lighting and natural light, great at direction. Is a joy to shoot with, very inspired & creative.

Richard and I worked together for the first time during my recent visit to Two Wei Location House and was lovely to work with. His pre shoot communications were excellent, well thought out and properly planned.

During the shoot itself he was easy to get along with and the shoot flowed nicely.

Thanks for a great shoot.

Richard was one of the photographers attending the photography workshop ran by Thomas Holm at AURAphotographic last Sunday!

Richard was so easy to work with and all the photos on the back of the camera looked fantastic!

I’m happy to recommend to other models and hope we’ll work together again in the future!!!

Thank you for coming

This is probably the 4th time I’ve shot with Richard and it was a really lovely experience - for a start he came armed with snacks! He’s very sweet, very talented, complimentary and kind and I loved what I saw on back of camera - I can’t wait to see edits! Thankyou for such a lovely and easy couple of hours Richard ☺️

My first shoot with Richard, would I recommend? Damn right.

We got along straight away and had a great laugh and chat whilst we shot; we created some amazing images and Richard is full of ideas! He also brought me wine gums, which is a winner in my books!

Had a smashing time, hope to shoot again sometime soon!

Shooting with Richard is a pleasure!

He is full of energy and love to have a discussion before and in between the shoot, it helped a lot to get to know how we both work!

He is talented and really creative, he doesn’t hesitate to give advices for the poses to look perfect !

I’m really excited to see the final result!

Recommend him 100%!
