I had my first shoot with Richard, and what a wonderful, productive and exciting day we had. Pre-communication was spot on, sharing ideas of what to expect and details of styles, looks and outfits.

Richard has a great vision for photography, and a vast knowledge of lighting, which is clearly portrayed in the results of his work.

He is friendly, chatty, respectful and makes you feel comfortable throughout.

I really hope we can work together again in the future,

Thank you xx

I had another fantastic shoot with Richard over the weekend. as always Richards Pre communication was excellent and I knew the style we was going to shoot.

I really enjoyed the shoot as we worked through some experimental concepts and we got some great photos. Richard is very accommodation and made sure I was comfortable at all times with breaks and nibbles, the heating also stayed on for the whole day which i really appreciated.

Highly Recommended!

Richard was a pleasure to work with, his pre shoot communications were perfect and detailed.

Richard was very helpful when planning my tour to Leeds and gave me some great advice!

Richard was very considerate, he made sure I had enough to eat and drink throughout the day and kept the heaters on all day too! All together the shoot was a success, the images just kept on getting better and better and I do hope to work with Richard again on my next tour to Leeds.

Thanks Richard!

I had a fun and unusual shoot with Richard last week where myself and Elle Peril modelled together as a duo. We worked on a few fairly diverse sets, which were all fun and sometimes quite experimental. Richard was well prepared for the shoot, bringing with him the props that we needed and had explained what he wanted to achieve before the shoot. Richard was accommodating, respectful, hospitable and knew what he was doing, always paying close attention to the details of pose and lighting. It was an enjoyable shoot and I'm very glad that Richard booked us. I'd highly recommend him to other models.

Amazing! Fantastic! Brilliant, creative, with no interest in glamour or objectification. Richard had so many good ideas and we made the absolute most of a half day shooting at his lovely studio! Great natural light & he had lots of interesting props and backgrounds. Very organised, very professional - thoroughly enjoyable days work; very highly recommended.

Richard shot myself and Faith last week, at the Pit in Nottingham. Richard is very professional, easy going and great to work with. Richard has a great eye for capturing images and I highly recommend him to anyone. I look forward to working with him again.

Had the pleasure of working with Richard on location. Pre-shoot comms was excellent, Richard was very professional, respectful, and amazing to work with. We shot at two fabulous locations, covering different genres and I must say I absolutely enjoyed working with him and will gladly recommend him to all.

Very highly recommended!

I had a really good studio shoot with Richard today! He was very professional and seamed to know exactly what he was doing, he was a pleasure to work with and from the pictures I have had a bit of a look at they are brilliant and I can't wait to see the finished pictures! Would define toy recommend working with him :)

I had such a wonderful woodland shoot with Richard! Full of ideas, props and accessories, we managed to achieve a whole variety of concepts, from portraiture to beautiful location nudes.

Richard is a great guy to work with - fun, friendly and very professional. The shoot went by far too quickly!!

Highly recommended!!

I had a fantastic shoot with Richard at Hallam Mill on 17th December; Richard is focused and driven, and a pleasure to work with...especially when his seating breaks making the perfect "you've been framed" moment! (Sorry Richard, but it was hilarious!)

Had a really fun, dynamic, and challenging shoot with Richard last month in Adrian Pini Studio. Richard not only gives great direction but also gives models plenty of leeway to pose on their own initiative; which in my opinion makes for the best kind of teamwork in order to get the best photos. A sweet man with a professional attitude. Highly recommended!

The night before working with Richard I'd just come back from a full week of shooting and so I was actually slightly worried I might be a little tired, but instead I found the shoot energising and inspiring, and we had great fun experimenting with props and a range of ideas which we came up with together. It was a pleasure to shoot with him and I'd very happily do so again. Richard picked me up from my house and was fully courteous and friendly. The shots on the back of the camera looked great!

I worked with Richard again last month, and again it was a fantastic shoot. He has a great energy to his work while being laid back and easy going, had brought lots of ideas to try, and his enthusiasm is infectious. He didn't mind trying out my crazy ideas (I may have put a tutu on my head...) and the shots we made looked great! Highly recommended.

Update: Another shoot... There aren't that many photographers I'd so happily pose nude in the pouring rain for. :-) Richard was great to work with over this two-day shoot in soaking wet Wales, and I seriously can't wait to see the final images, as there were some brilliant ones, in a huge range of styles and locations. I really enjoyed it!
