Well well well.... What an absolute 'Geezer'! Usually when working with new photographers (or models), I am a little nervous. As soon as Rich came through the door his personality jumped up and slapped me across the face. He is friendly, chatty, bouncy and definitely my kind of tribe. We got on brilliantly and the time absolutely flew by, it was all over too quickly.

We went down to the beach to shoot and Rich brought the most amazing raincapes with him, so naturally we had plenty of fun!

We did a variety of shots wearing different capes, Rich was happy to listen to my ideas and we worked well together. Although I think we might have chatted more, so not really working but having a lovely stroll on the beach.

Rich is a knowledgable photographer and I look forward to seeing the results. I happily recommend working with Rich, he is an absolute gentleman and great fun to work with!

Thank you so much for a great afternoon, until the next time.

I had a fantastic shoot with Rich this weekend!

Our pre-comms were perfect! We got everything sorted long before the day. On the day Richy was on time and a delight to work with! The time flew by, we had a great conversation throughout the shoot and we got some great images! I look forward to working with Rich again and I would highly recommend him!

I had my first shoot with Rich this Saturday and it was absolutely fantastic. We met up for a quick cuppa n pre shoot chat at mine the day before and throughout the whole time a had been chatting and arranging everything he had such a lovely vibe about him and meeting him definitely cofirmed that!

We had a shoot on Saturday morning, he picked me up from my house and we drove to the location together. He was an absolute diamond to work with, we chatted and laughed the whole way through our shoot, it was so much fun to shoot with Rich. He's a lovely guy, makes you feel at ease instantly and had great ideas as well as being more than happy to take on my ideas too.

I can't wait to see what we achieved from our shoot and also cannot wait to work together again in the future.

I highly recommend the lovely Rich to all. Absolute diamond all round. Thanks for a wicked shoot Rich! Can't wait for the next soon :) x

My fourth shoot with this lovely gentleman.... This time it was quite brief - we went up to a fantastic location to shoot - such a beautiful scenic location - and the skies were a fantastic dark and moody colour... However that turned out to be a ridiculously epic hail storm! Too painful, even with rain capes for protection! I laughed my head off, it was so funny! We still managed to get a few images, inbetween the pelting of hail - and as usual, we set the world to rights with a good old chinwag too! This man is amazing! Thank you Rich! 100% recommended! :)

This was my third shoot with Rich - what a star he is! I've been chatting to Rich for a whole year now and I count him as one of my dear friends. He will do anything to help anyone - he's got a really good kind honest heart, a strong sense of what's wrong and right, such concern for others - conversation always flows - and he always has me in stiches too - I really do enjoy setting the world to rights with this man! :)

As usual, Rich had a lovely selection of capes for me to wear... And for once, it was raining, so it seemed most appropriate!

It did get extremely cold, as there was a biting wind - Rich never wants the models to be uncomfortable so we wrapped up fairly early - as my fingers went white!! Model safety is always paramount to Rich! He looks after me well.

Communications are always spot on - and Rich is always completely professional and clear on what he wants from the shoot.

He's such a fantastic person - so easy to get on with - I can highly recommend working with Rich - you will not regret it one bit - he's a real gem!

Thank you once again Rich! :)

I had my first shoot with Richy today and he was an absolute joy to work with! Two hours absolutely flew past and I had a lovely time.

Pre communications were absolutely fantastic and there's simply not enough words to sum up how friendly Richy is. Within two minutes of meeting him I felt completely comfortable in his company and his bubbly, friendly personality makes it easy to forget that you're working! His beautiful vintage raincoats were really diverse and interesting to pose with; Richy gave me almost entirely creative freedom to pose as I liked and thankfully we were even able to showcase the raincoats in typical British rain!

I definately would recommend working with Richy; particularly for new models who might still be a little nervous in the scene and I'd love to work with him again in the future. Can't wait to see how the shots came out Richy - thanks for a genuinely enjoyable, fun shoot!

My third shoot with Richy and his marvellous raincoats, and good thing he had them as it was a drizzly old day to be out on the coast! We had a lovely time chatting and catching up, and a genuine warm hug before he left too. Thanks again for a great shoot, and for being a friend.

I had an idea about Rich's friendly, fun-loving personality before I met him, but he really surpassed my expectations come shoot day! I would work with Rich again and again, we didn't stop talking throughout the whole shoot and he is such a fascinating character with stories to tell and a real flair for making you feel relaxed and as though you're just hanging out with a friend who happens to be taking your photo.

This was my first shoot with Rich. Pre-comms were excellent, and I absolutely adored the vintage rain wear he bought with him! Rich has a great personality and we were chatting away about loads of interesting things. I felt really comfortable around him, like I'd known him for years. Rich gave concise direction but also allowed me plenty of opportunities to contribute my own ideas and get into poses of my choice. I'm really happy with the images that came from this shoot and can't wait to collaborate with Rich again to produce some more high quality creative images. He's 100% recommended. Thanks Rich

Richy is kind, enthusiastic and easy to get along with. His chatter and friendliness makes it easy to relax into the shoot, and he brings along some unusual and vintage rainwear - the pressure of finding the right outfit for this photographer is very much reduced. In fact I would describe shooting with Richy all in all as some of the lowest pressure, most laid back and friendly work experience I've had. He's very free with praise and compliments, and open to suggestions if you want to make any. Great guy, be good to him.

Ricky came highly recommended to me by another model and I was anything but disappointed. He is a delight to work with and our two hours just flew by. We were fortunate enough to have fabulous weather and I loved clambering about in the woods. Richy's enthusiasm and positivity are infectious, I think we got some really great shots and I'm over the moon that our next shoot isn't too far away. Highly recommended! Sx

Had an awesome shoot with Rich last week. Easy going, great ideas, pre-comms chat clarified everything beforehand so we were both confident going into the shoot. Rich is a lovely chap who is easy to get on with and likes to have a laugh and a good cuppa. My first introduction to the capes was great, looking forward to shooting with him and some different capes next time :)

Really enjoyed my first shoot with Richy - it was also the first time we had met - and I felt that we got on really well indeed! He makes great conversation and I love his eccentricity! I felt very comfortable modelling for him - he just let me do what I wanted, and I felt very relaxed. He listened to all my ideas and we got excited about developing them. I'm really looking forward to my next shoot with him - now I know what I have to work with, I am keen to improve and expand on what we have done! Richy is definately recommended - many thanks!

This is my second shoot with Richy, and I would honestly recommend him to anyone! He is polite, funny, provides great conversation during prop changes etc (very important, never underestimate the value of good conversation) and immediately made me feel at ease. He listens to ideas, and incorporates as many as possible. He is generous, in the respect he allows the freedom for you to 'do your thing' and he just quietly captures it on film. As a result, the shots are always natural and charming. Richy has great ideas, and knows how to translate them well onto pictures. My only complaint is that the shoot seemed to fly - a good indication it was highly enjoyable!

I can't wait until the next time!
