I had really great first shoot with Rich during my studio weekend at Splash Point Studio in Rhyl. He had so many great ideas which he wanted to try and I can really say he achieved really great results. His communication before and during the shoot was spot on. Also he send me creative mood board before the shoot, so I knew what was expected from me, which is always very nice, as I know what type of outfits should I pack and bring with me.

Also after the shoot he was very kind to give me a lift to Chester so I could get a train, as all the trains from Rhyl were cancelled. I'm really grateful for that.

I can highly recommend Rich to other models and I hope we will be able to work together again when I'll be back to the area.

Thank you so much for really great and creative shoot and the lift too :)

Great comms and Rich provided all the necessary information for our shoot in a fab outdoor location. He met me at the entrance gates so there was no worrying about how to get to the actual shoot location. He had a clear vision and gracefully allowed me to include my ideas too. An easy going and fab shoot. Rich was very patient (a few outfit changes) and with a gentle approach, very respectful and helpful. I can highly recommend Rich's expertise, skill, knowledge and creative output.

My first shoot with Rich and the entire shoot went smoothly. We did a group shoot and everyone was lovely, respectful and had a clear vision of what they wanted to achieve.

Everything was incredibly well organised and the props were abundant!

Rich's communications before the shoot were very clear and was super easy for me to gather the right looks before the shoot.

Thank you again,

Jessica

I worked with Rich for the first time today at Montrose Studio were he’d booked me as a model to attend a vintage themed camera club that he’d organised.

Rich’s communication was excellent from the offset and meeting him in person on the day only emphasised his professionally friendly character.

He had also brought a wide selection of props for the day and even got involved in a particular shot as a poker player who’d I’d shot down by laying on the floor and flailing his shoots in the scene.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable shoot thanks to Rich’s organisational skills, his easy going approach, his keen eye for detail and he is someone who I would whole heartedly recommend.

Was booked by Rich for a camera club shoot, where I met lots of new lovely photographers Including Rich himself. We shot in a kool new location where we got some interesting images. He new exactly what he wanted to shoot and the day just ran very smoothly.

Would recommend working with Rich and hopefully we will work together again in future 😊

Great day organised by Rich. Thoroughly enjoyable, well organised and a lot of fun in a cool location near Mold. I have no hesitation in recommending Rich as a photographer and workshop organiser.

We had the pleasure of working with Rich for the first time on Friday for our Red Riding Hood on location event.

Rich is an friendly and warm character, with bucket loads of inspiration and creativity in his approach to photography. He isn't afraid to push the boundaries and experiment with colours, perspectives and light. It was great to see his take on the event theme at the location.

Rich's pre-shoot comms were on point and it was simple to book him onto the event. He interacted well with fellow attendees and snapped up some awesome shots throughout the afternoon. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rich to other studios, models and event managers out there.

Rich - thanks again for making the journey over to us despite the weather and multiple diversions you had to take. We really appreciate your patience with waiting out the weather to begin and we hope you are pleased with the results you managed to get.

We look forward to seeing you again soon at another event, whether that be on location or at the studio.

Had my first shoot with Rich on Friday and couldn’t recommend him enough!

Comms were good before and after the shoot (especially given it was organised at fairly short notice), he picked me up and dropped me off at the station, covered my travel costs as agreed and provided a generous selection of images in a timely manner. He also provided a stunning location with plenty of scope for interesting shots, clearly had a good eye for lighting and backdrops and had plenty of his own ideas as well as being willing to try any of mine. Throughout the process he was utterly professional, friendly and easy to get along with, his photography and editing is top notch and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Definitely well worth the trip, thank you again :)

What a pleasure it was to collaborate with Rich

Prior to shooting pre-communication was great and everything was so easy to organised

During the shoot he gives such a relaxed atmosphere to shoot in. I loved that I could just flow through poses and get on with the shoot.

Rich is also really good at suggesting ideas and trying new and different things. We got a variety of so many different great looks and themes and produced so many sets during our shoot together.

More than recommended to all Models! Such a creatively interesting, intelligent and lovely photographer and person

Thank you for a fantastic shoot Rich - I hope to collaborate with you again in the very near future!

Best Wishes

Rich is laid-back and friendly and I saw him reveal the hidden beauty of the city's (Birmingham) unique lighting, especially near the main train station. His keen eye for identifying those special places in the city where lighting, graffiti, and other decor plays a unique and distinctive role in creating an atmosphere is nothing like I've seen before, even despite and amongst the variedness of life and city-living. I'm grateful for having met him, as well as shooting with him and it would be cool to see him again in the future.

I had a group shoot for Mold Camera Club today at Splash Point studio organised by Rich. He contacted way ahead the day which leave us plenty of time to organise the day.

All members who attended were lovely and the day flew by super quickly!

Communication with Rich was perfect and he was great to help other photographers who had a bit less experience.

Rich was creative and came with different ideas that I think were all amazing. It was a great shoot!

I highly recommend Rich to everyone!

Thank you and I’m looking forward to work with you soon! Xx

I had a great group shoot today, organised by Rich at Splashpoint Studio Rhyl. The shoot was well organised and executed throughout the shoot.

Rich was also on hand, helping out with the lighting and setups for the other photographers attending, sharing his knowledge with the rest of the group.

It was a fun filled shoot thought the day and I look forward to the next one.

Highly recommended.
