A joy working with Richard for the second time.

He came prepared full of laughter and fun and we had a fantastic shoot, in fact we’ve already got another shoot planned.

His ideas are always super creative and interesting from some chilled out kitchen lifestyle shots to a bubble bath and towel set- I literally had the best day.

Can’t wait to work with you again Richard.

Highly recommend -

Had a fab first shoot with Richard at my studio day at HallamMill.

For a first meet he is such a lovely character. So easy to chat to and spoiled me with lots of goodies :)

Pre shoot comms where good and quick :) he provided inspo pics of his ideas and I think we collaborated together very well.

We focused on my dance to start and developed some good ideas. I believe we got a great mixture and got very experimental with one of Richard's concepts. From the look of the BOC there really are some stunning shots in there. We had a really creative 4 hours which flew by with lots off giggles.

A very talented photographer with great interesting ideas who I am really looking forward to working with again :) and looking through the images now, just watch this space!!

Thank you lots, highly recommend :)

It was a pleasure to host Richard today. He has a wonderful manner and was really easy to get along with and left the studio in excellent shape.

Richard is clearly very talented and we're looking forward to seeing some of his results.

I have been incredibly lucky to have worked with Richard on 2 occasions now - and both shoots have been fantastic!

We recently worked together at York Photo Studio on one of the most enjoyable and fun shoots I've ever done! It consisted of Richard throwing paint at me lol.

We had loads of messy fun and amazing ideas to work through and our 2 hours just flew by!

I would highly recommend Richard to any model who has the opportunity to work with him - you will have loads of fun!

I worked with Richard at Ian webbs charity shoot for cancer research set up by Kevin prime.

I worked with Richard for the first time today at a group shoot in Silkwood Studios and he is very friendly and professional! Loved his back of the camera stuff so I am sure the final result will be wonderful!

Would highly recommend and hope to work together again soon.

I love working with Richard!

Im so happy he attended a recent Helmut Newton event organised my myself and male model Ali Moore.

Richard is so fun to be around, he turned up with snacks, a friendly fun vibe and ready to take some cracking shots!

Richard is a lovely person and so funny, we had some fantastic humorous conversations and I loved how well he worked in the group dynamic.

He took some awesome shots and I really hope we don't leave it so long until our next shoot :D

Highly recommended

Richard attended a Helmet Newton inspired workshop organised by Ayla and myself. Richard is confident and knows what he wants out of an image. He offers helpful creative direction and you will certainly not have any awkward silence with this fella around. I would definitely recommend him. Cheers for bringing the energy pal.

I had a great shoot with Richard last week! It was one that had been in the planning stage for ages but I was glad we finally got to shoot together again! We did a whole variety of styles from aerial sling to art nudes, ballet and lingerie styles. Richard is always chatty and friendly and brought a whole load of sweets to keep us going haha!

Happy to recommend him to others and look forward to shooting together again :)

Had a fantastic shoot with Richard as part of a 1-2-1 session at York Photo Studio!

We spent the majority of our time laughing at each other's bad jokes and then some of our time was focused on the shooting lol!

The time we did spend shooting however, was brilliant! Richard is super creative and had plenty of ideas in mind! I would recommend Richard 100% (And that is not to do with him giving me sweets! - lol)

Thank you again for a fantastic shoot!

I met Richard at an event in West Wales. Where we spend the whole weekend with a small group, visiting beautiful locations to shoot at.

Richard is lovely and kind and quite the joker. He was also a very nice guest in the house and great to get along with. While shooting he's very enthusiastic and creative.

It was very nice having Richard at the event! I'd reccomend him to every model :)

Stephanie Dubois

I met Richard once many years ago, but its taken us until now to sort a shoot out! Richard came along to my West Wales Photography Weekend, and he was a delight! Such great company, chatty, friendly, helpful round the house (though i did have to kick him out of the kitchen a couple of times whilst I was cooking for loitering with intent ;) )

He seemed to enjoyed the locations we had scouted and was a real team player!

I really look forward to seeing the edits and I hope we will get a chance to work together again in the future.

Highly recommended.

First shoot with Richard and it was a fab one. He’s very friendly and funny and we hit it off right away (also he brings sweets ;) )

Although he made me work hard and climb up all sorts of things, we had loads of fun in between and it was totally worth it for the results we got which I think are amazing.

He is so creative, absolutely full of ideas and I am most definitely looking forward to shooting with him again so we can get more done!

Highly highly recommend!!

I shot with Richard on my studio day at YorkPhotoStudio, he is a respectful and very creative, with a very cool way around his camera :)

The images looked fabulous on the back of the camera and it was really fun putting his epic ideas into practice!

Richard is very much recommended by me, he has a great dynamic and is very enthusiastic :)

Had such a fun time shooting with Richard.

He made me feel super comfortable and we had such fun trying different things.

He gave great direction and had some great ideas, we read eavhorners minds a couple of times.

Am so exited to see these images, and exited for our next shoot

Thanks so much Richard! See you next time

This guy is hilarious! Reason enough in its own why every model should work with him! Witty, charming and always striving to get different images from everyone else. He’s easily a great photographer to work with. Richard came to my SFX golden girl group shoot yesterday as a 1-2-1 slot booking. We hit it off straight away. I loved that he had plenty of ideas and the shapes he was looking to create looked amazing on the back of his camera! Thankyou so much my lovely! I’m looking forward to working with you again and seeing what we come up with next. Highly recommended by me! X

Finally got round to shooting with Richard and boy it was worth the wait I enjoyed every second if it ...Richard and I hit it off straight away , he is just so laid back and easy to get along with even if his jokes are we'll something thats for sure .... Richard came prepared with ideas he wanted to shoot and well we smashed through the sets even ending with a rather fun fashion see at the end . Richard gets bonus points too he bought me sweets and chocolates and well thats the way to keep me happy . Thank you for a wonderful few hours Jessica x

I had the lovely pleasure of shooting with Richard on a location share at Carlton Towers in Goole with second shooter Kevin (Yorkphoto Studio). :)

It was great to see Richard again after so long, I could really see the differences in his lighting and composition, but of course he was still just as fun and easy to work with, Richard puts you at ease straight away and just goes with the flow so you can do your thing!

Richard always works beautifully in a team, he was more than happy to help with lighting or be a human reflector stand, he can easily go along with your ideas or throw his ideas around which always makes for a creative day out :)

Throughout our day together we worked on a variety of vintage wear, lingerie, big ball gowns, and some epic dance shots.

I had an absolutely fabulous day and I’m thoroughly pleased with the shots I’ve seen so far and I can not wait to see some more! :D

Thank you for a great day out and for the chocolates (so kind!), and I hope to see you again soon!

Richard is an absolute joy to work with. His pre shoot communications are very good. We had a lovely shoot at Astly hall organised by Donna Rhian Lloyd. Richard can give direction really easily and works well with his models to achieve some wonderful images. I would happily work with Richard again. He is lovely to talk too gives great advice and is a wonderful friend.

Thank you for a great day. See you soon 😄
