Rich is an utter beauty. This was our first shoot together, which by all accounts, started with me having a minor (soggy) breakdown on the M4 because I managed to misplace some cash - but Rich, my knight in shining red VW, came striding forth and saved the day! He was a darling. Once I had calmed down, I felt so relaxed with lovely Rich, we had a few rough ideas planned for his rather epic project and found the perfect locations for the sets - the first time I played dead for the camera, and I've never felt so alive :D

So Rich is a wonderful soul, genuine, awesome, artistic, brilliantly honest and just a fucking incredible dude. With an eye for creating meaningful art, images that speak volumes. One of the most bloody beautiful souls I have had the pleasure of working with. Highly recommended to all models, especially the extremely artistic and wacky ones!

Rich is without a doubt one of my favourite ever people to work with, and quite possibly is my very favourite photographer ever!!

He is such a laugh and just so lovely, creative and talented. He is professional but laid back and so friendly and great to be around... Rich has fantastic ideas and we are able to bounce ideas off eachother to create awesome stuff.

I really love working with Rich and can't wait for our next shoot :) who knows what we will produce next time, i know it will be brilliant!

Thanks for everything once again Rich and i will without a doubt see you very soon :)

I worked with the lovely Rich again recently on a half day shoot at a gorgeous outdoor ruin I know near me! It was so lovely to catch up again with Rich after a year or mores gap from our last shoot - and we started from where we left off, with the shoot full of fun, banter and lots of laughter!

The weather was lovely on the day and we had such a blast working in and around the church grounds, working through a wide range of fashion to art nude. Rich always comes to the shoot full of enthusiasm with original ideas and is such a lovely positive, upbeat and creative spirit to be around.

He lets the model be free and expressive as they wish, which I love and was just fantastic company! I really enjoyed our chatter after the shoot and would love to work together again soon! Thankyou for such a lovely day, highly recommended and looking forward to the uploads! :) Helen x

As everyone has already said.... Rich makes the most out of a shoot and has great fun at the same time. All though... he mentioned he likes storm chasing... we were on top of a hill over looking everything (amazing views) and through all the sunshine we see dark clouds and lots of rain in the distance. I think he secretly planned it and wanted to storm chase as well as shoot! :P But it was epic moody sky for the photos and it was such a beautiful location to watch all the weather pass you by! I love the outdoors so I was loving jumping around in bare feet in a dress on a windy hill!

His van was so handy for changing in! What a great idea! We ventured to a few different locations to try different ideas.

Rich even offered me lunch before I left which was rather nice.... in fact I even had breakfast at his before the shoot!

Can't wait to see the photos. And I really hope to be travelling that way again as Rich is a pleasure to work with.

Firstly I must say this is completely overdue and I'm so sorry!!

My shoot with Rich was absolutely awesome!

Despite the wind, rain and hail, I couldn't help but be happy in Rich's presence! He is such a gentlemen, and ensured I was kept warm with regular breaks and lots of yummy snacks!

I didn't feel like I was at a shoot, more of a sea-side explore with a mate :)

Rich is a great guy, who I could chat with hours for, and his words of wisdom made me leave the shoot on a massive high, despite being in a pretty bad patch - he made me feel awesome and I left feeling inspired and exhilarated for life, and also for writing my forthcoming album and sound installion!

He was also clear and concise with his idea's and concepts before and during the shoot which made it easy for me to translate this for him, and the results were wonderful.

I would recommend shooting with Rich 100%, you will have an awesome day guaranteed :)

Hope to see you soon !

I had a brilliant shoot with Rich last week at my home. Rich was such a lovely person to work with and I felt at ease with him from the off. I found Rich to be easy going, down to earth, professional and great company.

I love that Rich has really creative idea's/ clear visions of what he wants to portray and he is very good at communicating this with the model. Rich gives great directions throughout and also lets you add your own spin, which makes for a great creative team work.

I would happily work with Rich again and I can only highly recommend him to other models.

Thanks for a great shoot

Rich messaged me out of the blue to arrange a last minute shoot and I was really glad to hear from him, Our last shoot went brilliantly so I knew we had another great shoot on the cards. His communication was spot on, sending over pre-thought ideas.

Rich picked me up from the train station and we went to his home to shoot. From the start, Rich was extremely accommodating and friendly. We chatted to begin with, drank tea and shared ideas for Rich's project, I really appreciated the involvement and enjoyed thinking & adapting concepts with him!

When it came to shooting, Rich was great at direction and our ideas flowed, trying our ideas and seeing what works best. I've enjoyed working with Rich on his project and am looking forward to doing some more with him, he is great company too!

Rich is hilarious and has a great sense of humour which makes working with him a joy.

Looking forward to seeing the results when they are ready ;)

Please don't forget to send over any lyrics, I enjoy thinking of concepts :)

Very highly recommended!!

I've just finished a shoot with Rich and it was a joy!

We actually spent most of the shoot discussing art, politics, music and fashion. It was lovely to hear how Rich approaches his work and the meaning behind what he is aiming to achieve, it was more like having an old friend round for a cuppa.

The shoot itself was fun and relaxed and from looking at the back of the camera I can tell we got some great shots. I enjoyed being able to do something a bit more creative and we managed to fit two very different sets of images in a short time. Rich is a pleasure to work with, such a fun and interesting person and a highly creative photographer. I look forward to working with him again and highly recommend that any model who gets the chance to should work with him also!

Fantastic man.

I had a super duper time shooting with Rich last month! His pre-shoot communications were excellent, he had some very creative and truly unique ideas for the shoot and he informed me fully what he wanted to do and explained everything very well.

On the day Rich turned up on time and was from the off-set was a really friendly, fun and intellectual person to be around! I found I could talk about everything from photography, to pop and music culture to science and politics with him! He is so interesting and fun to be around and it really helps to create a great re pore during a shoot that in turn makes for great shots!

Rich comes very planned and organised to his shoots, he has key concepts he wants to achieve in his head and works very efficiently to get them. He is very good with his lighting and can explore, adapt and experiment with a range of set ups till he gets the results he is looking for! Although Rich comes to a shoot with key ideas he is also able to let them adapt and be creative, it means the shoot is a very engaging and fun process to be involved in!

Rich is very good with his post production as well as shooting, he uses his great imagination and creativity to create shots which are unique, beautiful and carry deep meaning. It is lovely to see the finished images and see the messages behind them!

I had a fabulous day working with Rich, lovely man, great photographer and joy to be around!!

I had an absolute pleasure working with Rich on one of his photography projects. The shoot took a place in my flat and it was totally different from anything I've done before. When Rich explained his idea to me few weeks before the shoot, I found it quite unusual, a bit crazy and very interesting :D I was definitely up for giving it a go! His communication before the shoot was brilliant, he explained his idea in details, so I was fully aware of what is expected from me. The shoot itself was a great fun! Rich is a lovely and a friendly guy. Really interesting to talk to an easy to work with. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would be more than happy to work with Rich again! :)

I worked with Rich for the first time today at my home,, all I can say is this guy is pretty damn funny!!

A great person to work with, he had a brilliant project idea and I was very excited to be involved in it! (as wacky as it was)

We got the shots pretty quickly, so the majority of the shoot was chatting and joking with Tea and coffee!

In some shots I had to smile and in other shots I had to have a serious face, but I found it harder to keep a serious face than to smile, Because he made everything so funny!!!

He gave me lots of tips and advice which I found most helpful

110 percent recommended :)

I love this man! We had an amazing shoot yesterday and it was a total pleasure spending time with him at his lovely house and meeting his gorgeous family.

I had a very specific shoot brief and he made it easy for me to do. He was brilliant in every way and has an awesome personality, we got on too well! Rich I would love for us to work together again, so say the word and i'll be there!

I would recommend Rich to any and every model for sure.

Thanks again mate xxx

I shot with Rich for the 1st time the week before last, at his lovely home set up, for a couple of hours which flew by....

He is a creative & wonderful photographer with equally wonderful ideas, with perfect lighting skills, the amazing ability of setting scenes up beautifully and a delightfully wicked sense of humour, which had me giggling throughout the shoot!

I do hope to shoot with Rich again, he's amazing to work with! Cannot recommend him enough :)

I worked with Rich at my home in Bristol. What to say? He is an absolute nutter, fantastic to work with, friendly, down to earth, creative and mad, just like me! We spent 2 hours shooting as planned and perhaps another 2 hours before and after the shoot chatting?! Really hope to work with again and highly recommended, a lovely guy! Helen x
