I had the opportunity to assist Richard on a shoot today in Hampstead Heath. Pre-shoot comms were excellent and Richard arrived on time and provided me with a run-down of his plans for the shoot. He also took time to run through his equipment and, throughout the shoot, offered advice and tips on every aspect, including lighting, posing the model, composing the shot and altering settings to work with the conditions.

I had a really enjoyable day and cannot thank Richard enough for all his input. Highly recommended.

Had a group shoot with Richard over the weekend and really loved the results. Richard is very fun and professional photographer, who clearly has a passion and skills for beautiful portraits. He definitely knows how to create a gorgeous image and would definitely recommend working with him :)

I had a shoot with Richard yesterday for 'Fauna Woodland creatures'. Despite the heavy rain and cold he kept shooting with me and was fantastic in choosing lovely spots in the forest that matched my character as a fox and helped me bring out more emotions in our shoot. It was a an absoloute pleasure to work with him and I highly recommend.

Worked with Richard on a PortraitX project. I have to say that I am very happy with the results and even though the weather was not on our side, we still managed to get amazing photos. Richard is very professional and super easy to work with. I look forward to working with Richard again

I have worked with this really talented man a few times now and am looking forward to our upcoming shoots that I look to set up soon. He attended one of our PortraitX events that due to weather really let us down a little. Honestly this man got some of the best shots of the team! Even just with doing only a few shots throughout the day he still came up on top. Great work. I look forward to more shoots with Richard. He's in my top 3 list of people to work with X

There's too many incredible things to say about Richard. First impression of him was he's a genuinely sweet guy with so much passion for his art. Secondly I love his enthusiastic approach to every shot. At the start waiting on his arrival i admit I was slightly ore struck due to following his work since start of this year and anticipating the 29th of Nov to come around to work together as I adore his images. His attention to detail is superb and every shot I saw was beyond creative and right up my street. Richard understands the dramatic side to fashion which is everything that I love and do. My portfolio is going to have a new beauty with Richards images in it. I wish to thank him for coming and although we only had a couple of hours together it was worth the traveling around London, the extreme wind like a hurricane, snowy cold rain and the awful journey home because I will never forget this shoot. It was one of my best to date.

I had a brilliant shoot with Richard! From the onset, he made me feel so comfortable in his presence. We had a general outline for the shoot but together we were able to experiment even more and he definitely had the experience and knowledge to do this. I can't wait to work with him again. He's an incredible photographer!

Worked with Richard yesterday for the first time after talking about ideas for a while!

So glad I came across to his profile as I was totally amazed by his photography skills.

He's such a down to earth and nice person also.

It was a great shoot, the locations were FANTASTIC and so was the styling/makeup.

I dont need to go on about how amazing his work, as you can see for yourself.... so impressive.. eye catching.

We have lots of ideas that we want to work on in the future so here's to future shoots! Cant wait :)

Thanks so much Richard for making the journey!!!! X

I had such a great shoot today with Richard. He's a lovely guy and great photographer, knowing how things behind the camera works best and giving direction when he knew the exact shot he wanted to get.

Very friendly and reliable (turned up at the shoot on time and didn't mind I was running slightly late!)

I can't wait to see our images and would definitely like to work with Richard again.

Highly recommended!!

Yesterday's studio shoot with Richard went perfectly. I found his directing very helpful and he was easy to talk to and get along with. Richard was also really organised and efficient.

I have already received the images and I am over the moon with the results! All of his pictures are of a very high quaity and every one of them is composed well and edited carefully.

Richard's communication was also very good, he kept in touch prior to the shoot and after. I would definitely like to work with Richard again and would strongly recommend him to anyone looking to add some really strong pictures to their portfolio.

Sophie Roach

I just got back from shooting with Richard an hour ago. What a great morning!

He was so well prepared and location scouted the day before to ensure we had a well paced plan. Communication was on point and is the nicest guy in person, full of enthusiasm, is really chatty and easy to get on with.

I'm really happy with how the back of the camera shots look and I can't wait to see the final result!

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Richard a few weeks ago. He is enthusiastic, hard working and his compositions are creative and beautiful. We had a great day and produced some wonderful images and I hope to work with him again soon.

Layla Claridge (Miss Oxfordshire 2015/16)

Working with Richard was an absolute joy and his talent with photography is fantastic. He was full of ideas and not afraid to show what he wanted in order to get the right results. Friendly, talented and a great guy I would work with Richard again anytime and always look forward to seeing his latest photographic projects. I would highly recommend.

Richard was without a doubt one of the best photographers I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He was so hugely considerate and enthusiastic! He even let me pick my favourite images for him to edit! Of course the images turned out amazingly which I knew they would due to his wicked directing and ideas. Not only is he a fantastic photographer to work with but such a lovely genuine all round person. Extremely talented and knowledgeable with an amazing 'let's go' attitude. Remember me when you're shooting famous people for vogue please Richard! Hehe!

Richard is one of the most talented videographer we had the luck to meet in our path. More than that, Richard is a great guy that is easy to relate with, open and honest.

We would not hesitate to recommend him for every kind of image and video related project, as he is worth your brand and your image!
