Was great when I finely got to arrange a shoot with Richard.. We have been friends for a long time but just never managed to sort till recently.. Really loved the couple of hours shooting .. It was very relaxed and there was posh biscuits :-D Would definitely recommend working with Richard if you get the chance you won't be disappoint :-) x

I like this Olpin chap...

He feeds me cake and we make awesome pictures.

I'm not sure why it took so long for us to work together again but I hope we will work together more often (as long as cake is still in the deal) and would recommend that other ladies ask him to take pictures..

Well, well, well; mr Olpin!

We had spent some time together at some social's so I got to know Richard a bit before our shoot. Richard is a great, fun, down to earth guy. He is a pleasure to work with. We shot intimate/ boudoir and I felt very comfortable working with him.

He has great, creative ideas and we got some really cool images!! I'll just let them speak for themselves! :)

I would definitely recommend Richard and I can't wait to work with him again!

P.s. He brings delicious biscuits!! :P

I had a shoot with Richard few months ago at the model's house and I would highly recommend Richard as a photographer. He is really approachable and very skilled.

Hope to work with him again sometimes.

I've been wanting to work with Richard for a long time and I'm soooo glad that we finally got to shoot together. We've done two shoots so far. One at my flat's hallway - which he amazingly turned into the world's smallest studio and during the Eyebox studio Halloween event. I love working with this guy, as he's very professional but makes me laugh all the time. Very knowledgable and talented. Made me feel very comfortable. We've already been planing another shoot! Can't wait :D

I finally got to shoot with this epic photographer last week, after much discussion and extensive pre-comms, with some fab and wild ideas being thrown around....

Richard is above all a wonderful guy who really looks after the models he shoots with and is a wonderfully creative individual - he shows professionalism (with a fab sense of humour!), directs beautifully and has a fantastic knack for spotting nooks & crannies that blew my mind!

This fabulous photographer has a stunning way with camera and uses the best angles a girl could wish for - I cannot recommend Richard enough....can't wait to shooooot again :)

I shot with Richard for the first time last week on location in Leigh Woods. We were doing a creative shoot using levitation photography and smoke. He's brilliant to work with, easy to talk to, and knows exactly what he wants from a shot. He knows what will work in front of the camera and I think we really got some great photos. I can't wait to see the finished results. We're already talking about doing another shoot there. I'd absolutely 100% recommend working with him. Superstar :-)

It was a real pleasure to work with Richard - he's a brilliant photographer and lovely guy. Great pre-shoot communications, thoughtful throughout the shoot and images which were more than worth waiting for.

I'd love to work with Richard again soon and can't recommend him highly enough :D

So I got the chance to work with Richard at one of Jack Russell's work shops an working with him was so much fun, he's really easy to get on with, really chilled and had a top sense of humour. I'm glad I got the chance to work with him at the workshop coz he's actually miles away which is such a shame but I did an we got some amazing images, really pleased with what I've seen so far, but then again from what I've seen of his work it is awesome and I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Richard,

Well where do I start, previously I have left a reference for when I first met Rich, and since then we have had a meet up and arranged a shoot with just him I and a make up artist, the out come is amazing. Richard has an eye who see's past the model and looks around for what lighting needs to be done, what angle the camera needs to shoot from, where the eyes of the model should be looking. I have been doing modelling for over a year but only a few shoots, I think this is my fourth time maybe, well with the amount of direction and advice Richard gave me you really wouldnt think so. Hes just fabulous behind a camera, althought i would love to see him infront of the camera for a change ahaha.

KEEP ON BEING YOU RICHARD, YOU ARE TALENTED. ITS BEEN SUCH A GREAT TIME SHOOTING WITH YOU AND DRINKING TEAA AND EATING CAKE BUT UNTIL THEN, TAKE CARE MY FRIEND.

If any future models reading this needs reassurance that Rich is a lovely genuine TALENTED chap, then message me and im more than happy to do so.

All the best x

I have worked with Richard on a few occasions now.. he is just BRILLIANT

Quite clearly his skills are up there!! When we first had a shoot, it was literally a five minute shoot and the images he sent me were bloody fantastic...amazing, and eye catching. That is when I realised Richard's skills were better than most I have previously worked with. Since then, we have arranged other shoots and have spent time to get to know each other. Which is brilliant, because when we shoot, it's more like shooting with a friend. Richard has NEVER disappointed me with the results, in fact, amazes me everytime! exceeding my hopes! :)

Anyway, enough about his skills as you can clearly see how great he is at what he does...

Richard is a really great guy, very funny also! Makes me laugh on a shoot for sure, and that i what you need on a shoot!! I would shoot with Rich all the time if I could, that's why YOU shouldn't miss an opportunity to work with him!!

Thanks Rich, you're a very special photographer and deserve a special reference.. :)

Until next time....... X

This was my first time meeting Richard on the 5th of August and not only is he a genuinely lovely chap he's an awesome photographer. He see's opportunity in areas/angles that most people would just oer look and I'm really excited to see the outcome of our shoot. I highly recommend Richard and can't wait to ~hopefully~ work with him again as we have a cool idea going on!

Me and Richard had been talking about shooting together since last year, so when I came to him with a game of thrones inspired shoot he immediately said yes. Pre communications were brilliant and after telling him that I sometimes get anxious meeting new people he phoned me and it made things so much better. The day of the shoot came and still Richard kept me updated with goings on. The shoot went absolutely brilliantly, Rich is a absolute legend to work with! Funny as hell not one moment passed where we we're not having a laugh. Richard also brought a friend to help with holding the lighting and so on who was also a great laugh andtop guy. But other than the fact that we had a great time and a laugh Richard is a top class photographer and knows exactly what he is doing with a camera and any equipment he had on his person. I would highly and I mean HIGHLY!!! recommend him and really look forward to our next encounter. Thanks again sweetie... I mean Richard :)

Met Richard on several occasions and was very happy to hear that he would be attending a group studio shoot I was modelling in.

I already knew how good he was as I'm a fan of his images and love his work but seeing him at work is equally impressive!

Direction is spot on! His vision is beautiful! Images speak for themselves!

Ready and willing to work with this maestro in the future.

Top bloke :-D

I met Richard during an Eyebox event, after the photoshoot ended I was looking at some of his work, I can tell he's a great photographer and has real passion for it not only because he's good but the passion just shines through the pictures. Him and I got talking online and now we have arranged another project for the both of us and i have a feeling the result is going to be AMAZING. Looking forward to meeting up with you soon Richard. So Excited. 

Richard helped me out on a shoot for some promo and advertisement images for an upcoming major event and i was blown away by the images, as well as being an awesome photographer he is a lovely guy and very easy to work with and chat to. He has given me some of my favorite images to date and cant wait to work with him again :D

I have wanted to work with Rich for a very long time, and I'm so glad I finally got the chance!

an absolutely amazingly talented photographer and also an amazing person all round, rich is chatty and friendly and I had so much fun working with him and hope to do so again!

We planned to go shooting outside but English weather got in the way! nevertheless we managed to have a really good indoors boudoir style shoot! With the help of Rich's great photography and lighting skills, as well as the assistant we had present (Mischief the cat).

See you soon Rich!! :)

Quite simply had an amazing shoot with Rich. Nothing was too much trouble and he took the time to understand me and what I wanted to get out of the day as well. I felt very comfortable with him... he even bought me an ice cream!!

Richard was one of the first photographers I met when I start doing photoshots in England, a few years ago already!! He is a fantastic photographer and a great fun to work with!

Richard makes you feel relax and comfortable and from a normal day, only going for a coffe and a walk you can get amazing pictures that were not even planned!!

Highly recommended!!!!!:))))
