Had an amazing shoot at Wortley Top Forge! We always get some fantastic images! Rich shoots at a steady pace, but it still creative with lights and knows exactly how to get the best angle.

I am very excited to see what we've created because the back of the camera looked fantastic!!!!!

Rich is always polite, respectful, friendly, funny, chatty, caring and completely professional at all times!!!!

100%, Highly Recommended To All!!!!!!xX

I got the opportunity to shoot with Rich recently at the stunning wortley forge and had a great shoot. Pre comms and organisation were faultless. Rich is easy going, respectful and friendly. We worked through various areas of the forge and from what I’ve seen we created some fab images. Look forward to working with Rich again in the future. Highly recommended by me.

Thanks Bonnie

Awww it’s about time Rich and I had the chance to catch up!!! :D And what better place to do so than the spectacular location that is Wortley Top Forge - fair play to Rich for securing this booking with them on what was potentially the nicest day of the year! 🌞😎

Rich was his usual awesome self in the planning process - no fuss or anything, just a few messages to get us booked in, then discussions on ideas/outfits nearer the time. It was all about looking forward to the day and all the creativity that was to unfold. :) Rich is completely easy-going too - so whilst we nattered about specific shots he wanted to try and get, he was also completely happy for me to give input and for us to become inspired on the day too when you’re there and see the light on all that awesome machinery and so-forth. :D I’m fact, our shoot was very much driven with us chasing the light opportunities with different ones appearing at different times of the day. Upon arrival/first few minutes of a recce Rich had spotted epic shafts of sunshine and highlighted areas of interest. The whole day was basically one big creative vibe with this excitable photographer and model running around after the suns rays haha! It was great! :P

Rich is a mega enthusiastic photographer; he’ll put his hand to any style/is passionately driven to try anything if it has the possibility of giving us a nice picture. With the weather being as good as it was, we milked it for all we could! Rich was ready with his trusty reflector and we literally marched around the place illuminating areas that would otherwise look pitch dark compared to the outside being blasted with sun. WE MADE IT WORK! Rich was adjusting his settings literal with every single set - just the choice of outfit sometimes meant he has to fiddle with the exposure sometimes... Reflector got more than it bargained for getting wedged in all manner of places to do it’s job haha! Even towards the end when we broke the habit of the day and Rich set up controlled lighting (I know right, on a sunny day? Suchhhhhhh a good idea though - read on! 😃) as we tackled the beastly machine in the main room, and just needed that extra edge. Rich wasn’t doing it by half! We were hoisting that bad boy light between us up onto the beam where I was perched! 😆 Seriously; this shoot was all about taking the time to get QUALITY results - absolutely stupendous! Rich’s camera was just exploding with insane images by the end of the day... He kindly let me do some “back of camera” snaps, and I just had no words!

Not only was the productivity of our shoot completely on-pointe, Rich is generally really great company and great to get along with. :) As Northerners we literally didn’t shut up obviously! 😂 His hearts 100% in the right place and he’s as respectful and courteous as you would ever hope for a photographer to be. He brings with him to shoots total professionalism and conducts his etiquette perfectly. I have nothing but very good things to say about rich as a creative and a person. I recommend him VERY highly, and the next time we get the chance to shoot is always something to look forward to! ☺️

Thank you for such a cracking day Rich!

Had another super shoot with Rich, this time at York photo studio :)

Rich is so much fun to work with, we get on like a house on fire and I find him so easy to talk to. Really friendly and a great sense of humour.

Always enjoy working with him and it was great to work in a new studio for me too :)

Thanks for arranging and hope to work together again soon!

Happily recommended :D

Wow it had been some time since we last shot together. I was visiting the north and so got chance to model for Rich again. Rich is always so much fun to model for. He is always so chatty and happy. We shot together in York this time and Rich remembered that I like my legs looking lovely and long so he took many shots from the floor hehe.

Rich had some ideas he wanted to try out lighting wise with a new chaise in the studio and we got so many stunning images. Rich also is very happy to listen to ideas and concepts that you have too. I was so happy with the images we produced and I hope we do not leave it too long again between our next shoot :)

Well holy crap here we are upping our game again and this time Richard took me out to the most epic location all of 15 minutes from his home in Hull :D

I was busy arranging my Northern tour and thought to myself I’ve got to see if Rich is about because he is one of my all time favourite people to work with, and luckily he had a day available so we got it all booked in and organise within a couple of messages and then I just had to wait :P

Whoop the day finally arrived, Rich had been telling me about this incredible set of old industry buildings for what must have been a couple of years so I was so excited, I had my car over packed with anything i thought might work for the location.

We started the day off with rich showing me around the buildings so we could figure out a plan of action before setting up camp. To say its such a well named place and tagged throughout by teens we managed to go basically the whole day without any issues of people suddenly showing up, just the odd dog walker or kid on a bike.

The location was amazing, awesome natural light throughout but rich certainly came prepared with lights, there were just so many options to shoot you could honestly shoot there for weeks on end and still find cool little hidden spots to try out! :)

And just as I suspected it was was a super fun and relaxed day with Rich, we got some epic nd unusual shots even found places Rich hadn’t been and shot yet, and we had a bloody laugh doing it too! Next year when the weather comes back we’ll have to go back and see what else we can get to there for sure!

Thank you so much for a great day, you always lift my sprits, and I can’t wait to see you again soon!

Oh God I wonder if poor Rich has recovered from our last shoot yet?! :P

Rich stupidly.. I mean kindly.. booked a duo shoot with myself and Illy at Wortley Top Forge in Sheffield for a whole day. And it was one of the best laughs I’ve ever had, it’s always a riot shooting with Rich or just being in his company to be honest, but having him and Illy together it’s just manic, having shot with both of them previously I knew what I was in for :D

Throughout the day we shot a mixture of fashion, ball gowns none the less, and art nudes, we were super lucky with the weather on the day with only a slight bit of spitting every now and then and later the complete down pour when we were packing up, so having that nice even light really worked in our favour but Rich was very well prepared with bringing lights on the day anyway for a bit of lift. We got some incredible shots all around the location, which I can’t wait to see the end results, but I have to say there’s some epic bloopers in there too :P

We stopped half way through the day for some lunch and Rich was a star for the picnic bringing sandwiches, biscuits, drinks, lots of fruit, it’s such a lovely touch Thor him to go out of his way for the models comfort.

Working with Rich is always a relaxed and easy going atmosphere, and with us all having worked at Wortley in the past we could all come up with what to shoot and where we could try it, Rich always has awesome and off the wall ideas.

Such a fun, and productive day out together, and gosh I have no idea how many times we’ve shot together now but of course Rich is still highly recommended after all these years and despite my latest move to the South I do hope to shoot with him again soon! :D

Thanks for an epic day,

Rich and I had our second shoot together last month at The Boardroom studio, Derby, shared with a second photographer relatively new to shooting models. Rich's comms were excellent, we had a list of ideas put together with no problem and on the day we had plenty of ideas and options to shoot in the beautiful studio, using natural light! I had a great time shooting with Rich and his photographer friend (not currently on PP), lots of fun and lots of awesome images taken! Very happy to recommend them both! Thanks Rich, hopefully shoot again soon! :)

How fabulous is this guy! He brings an air of enthusiasm and energy to everything he does.

It’s a couple of years since I saw him, but we didn’t let that dampen our shoot! I had the pleasure of shooting with RichsImages again at a group shoot at a local studio on a dreary Tuesday evening and he certainly brightened it up!

He smiled all the way through the shoot as we flowed through poses and costumes with plenty of laughs.

Thank you for a wonderful evening and I hope to see you again soon!

I had a lovely studio shoot with Rich today! A very relaxed, friendly and skilled photographer. I had a great time, and recommend him to any other model!

Can't wait for the next shoot,

God knows how many shoots we've had together now. It's always good to catch up with and make some amazing images.

You arrived at my house on time and before I knew it you were leaving again. Time flew. You're friendly, professional, chatty and talented.

I had two epic opportunities to work with Rich in 2018... The first was as part of a group event organised for the lake Bala area of North Wales which turned out to be a very fabulously sunny day indeed with fruitful productivity amid the entire group. I actually got chance to mingle with Rich personally as we were in a shared car up to some of the locations. By the end of this event - we were already planning to work together ourselves at a later date one-to-one since we both had Yorkshire in common! :D Though, they are a funny bunch over in the East Riding area. The West is CLEARLY the best! ;) But it goes without saying that it was nice to have this as a little introductory shoot to a very fantabulous half-day to ourselves that would occur just before it started to get mega cold.

We then worked together early October. It was a crazy time of year for me but Rich was utterly brilliant with communications... Funnily enough, it can be harder to catch me on home ground than anywhere else during a hectic period so good communications are essential to get shoots firmed-up with the limited local-to-home availability that I have and I couldn't have praised Rich's more! So we had our shoot planned, locations at the ready, emailed the weather gods asking them to be kind and all that shenanigans... We just had the day itself to contend with! Rich Kindly picked me up from my place so that we didn't have to take multiple cars, we went off to the first location (waterfall) and nailed various angles and sites around the place leaving no stone unturned. Rich worked quick and creatively to capture so many corking shots and was literally a star at all times: we were a team doing everything from scrambling down to different areas to suggesting shots/angles. Rich was encouraging of warm-up breaks in-between sets and the whole pace was generally very relaxed and non-pressured yet we got so many terrific photos in the bag. :D

Next on the location list was a farmhouse a fair trek up from the waterfall - we talked everything through in pre-shoot communications and everything so Rich came brilliantly prepared as location shooting does pose a dozen more challenges than studio work. As usual: I was all over the building making crazy shapes at mad heights: Rich showed no end of concern for my well-being but always entrusted me to concentrate on getting safely to the posing sites and once the shots had been bagged, it was pretty routine to have a whole bunch of laughs in-between as well. :P Rich had so much to think about as the photographer in these situations... I'm curled up in my crevasse or sprawled on a wall but Rich has to frame the whole thing up, make quick decisions on things like cropping/orientation/how much to include in the picture etc. and not to mention the good ole' Yorkshire sunshine doing it's standard thing of mostly grey with the occasional bright spell just to confuse the camera! But honestly... I don't even know what to say. The results were truly out of this world! Y'all didn't see the back of the camera - I did! And it was most certainly one of those buzzing moments when you know a shoot has come together like magic! Rich really is a fantastic photographer, it goes without saying. He is also so very keen to involve models as part of the creative process and allow them to interpret the shoot ideas in their way as well.

And is a shoot even a shoot if you don't manage to natter about literally all things random and relevant? He's a really fun person o work with as well as awesome at the picture-taking side of things. It's nice to be able to have a fun and enjoyable time as you work because the whole session just flows better for everyone. A genuinely nice guy with a good heart, extremely professional in his approach and towards the people he works with. I honestly cannot recommend Rich enough and only hope we get to work together again at some point in the future. :)

Thank you Rich!

Had another fab shoot with Rich at Worksop studio!

He is such a funny guy, really chatty and friendly and the shoot honestly just flies by.

We got some lovely images together yet again and I really love working with him!

He gave me a lift to the station when we finished again too and we had a good old natter :)

Highly recommended by me and hope to work with him again soon!

YAAAAAASSSSSS! Haven’t shot with this mental bloke in ages!

Iwfoto arranged a location shoot with Rich and Yorkphoto Studio for a day out in Flamborough on the beach, and what a day it was! Perfect weather, incredible company, and an okay model :P Rich wonderfully travelled out to the location ahead of time to make sure it was suitable for our shoot! And he had the great sense to bring a towel for me, thank you!

Throughout the day we shot a mixture of fashion, topless, sheer, art nude, fashion nude and even one of my own creations for some funky fashion!

Not only can this bloke take that awesome shot from each set, he’ll also have you in stitches for most of the day, he truly keeps me highly entertained, I haven’t laughed that much on a shoot in ages! There was a ton of team work as well throughout the day from keeping an eye out for ramblers to reflector holders, and Rich kindly stole my shoes whilst I was cliff climbing :)

One of my favourite shoots to date I think, I’m so excited to see the images, and even more excited for our next big adventure as it always gets more and more crazy!

Thanks for such a great day out, and should hopefully see you soon!

Every time we shoot it's cracking shot after cracking shot. Successful shoot followed by an even better one. I just your judgement, your ideas and you as a person.

The only thing I don't like about you is that you laugh when bugs attack me....rather than save me HAHA.

I can't say anything about you I haven't already said. I highly recommend! Here's to the next god knows how many shoots xX

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rich for the 2nd time on a group shoot day held at the amazing Wortley Forge!!

I was modeling alongside Marie Jean Taylor and Rich was 1 of 4 photographers present.

Just as previously- he was chatty, funny polite and respectful with myself and Marie as well as confident at giving directions and understanding working with natural light out on location!

I greatly enjoyed the days shoot and cannot thank RichsImages enough for being a big part of it!

THANK YOU!!😊😊😊

I would highly recommend them and hope to work with them again in the future.

I worked with Rich for the first time recently, when he came along to share a shoot with iwfoto and I while I was in Sheffield. We shot a little bit of ballet and a lot of art nude and the two photographers took turns shooting through the half day very equitably :) Rich is a lovely guy, they both are in fact and we had a good laugh as well as shooting some lovely images! I'd be very glad to work with Rich again, whether as a duo with iwfoto again or on his own, and I'm very glad to recommend Rich to other models. Thanks Rich!

Belle Noire aka Black Beauty

Had god only knows how many shoots with this one now.

You turned up at my house on time with all the equipment needed.

I love that you always have ideas and give me something to work with. Very talented photographer and never a disappointing shoot.

We speak as if we've known each other years and I would work with you time and time again.

I had a super shoot with Rich on my tour last week!

He applied to a casting I put up relatively last minute and I'm really glad he applied. The 2 hours flew by! He was so much fun to work with, chatty and had a great sense of humour.

We was also kind enough to Doncaster station after the shoot so that my onward journey was easier, and we had a good old natter on the journey there :)

I felt totally at ease in his company, he's genuinely a lovely person to be around and hope to work with him again in the future. Happily recommended by me!

I've just jumped on the train home from a fantastic shared shoot with Rich and Ian and I've had a fabulous day! Rich shot a variety of my mad looks and was fun and charming from beginning to end. A truely lovely gentleman with an eye for a fantastic image. I'm looking forward to future shoots.

Thankyou for today Rich.
