Hampson St Studio

I’ve now known Ricky for quite some time, but being so far from the studio it’s not been easy for him to shoot here, however the time came and he spent the day here working with Paulaw. He has some Fantastic ideas being very creative and knowing exactly what images he’s aiming for, well his portfolio shows this. He was respectful towards the studio and model at all times and always welcome to return. Recommend all models to work with him 100%

I had the pleasure of meeting Ricky on my tour in Manchester where I worked with him twice at a studio & the apartment. Two completely different settings and two lots of amazing images we created!

Ricky is full of energy & has top banter that makes a shoot enjoyable and is always considerate of the model. He is professional and a great photographer.

As I seen the back of the camera images from the apartment shoot I was like WOW. His ideas and creativity flowed & he spends time getting that perfect shot and knows exactly how to work the light & shadows.

Amazing shoot & highly recommended :)

I’ve had a pleasure to shoot again with Ricky twice within one week! :)

The first shoot we arranged at Hampson Studio in Horwich and the second one at the Airbnb in Manchester.

The images from both shoots look absolutely incredible! Ricky has really amazing ideas each time and you’re guaranteed to create high quality images.

Ricky is one of the kindest and funniest people you’ll meet. We get on so well and I could literally shoot with him regularly every week and I’m sure each time we would create something different, it would never get repetitive.

I’m sure we will be working together a lot more times in not too distant future!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Thank you Ricky for two fabulous shoots x

I've been wanting to work with Ricky for a while, but as we live so far away it's been a bit tricky to organise. I was very happy when Ricky organised a trip to the North and offered me a chance to shoot. Despite challenges with space, we got some fantastic shots and I can't wait to see how they look once edited. Ricky is a great person, very easy to get along with and a wonderful photographer. Highly recommended to any studio or model, if you get a chance to create some beautiful shots with Ricky, please do.

I had a fantastic shoot with Ricky at my home. We organised it last minute but Ricky’s communications were excellent.

Ricky wanted to shoot headshots, beauty images and portraits and he did it very well. Using the available light and also adding a speed light when we started losing the light. A really relaxed and warm person and certainly knows his craft.

Highly recommended and I look forward to shoot number 2 :)

Photography Holidays

I've know Ricky for some years now due to being on Several of the Photography Holidays. It's nice to see people return as you must be doing something right.

Ricky is great fun to be around, not only that he's also great around the villa too. He's always respect full to models and gains trust between them. He's created some amazing images and I'm sure the models are looking forward to seeing them.

I'm sure it wont be the last I see of Ricky and it's always a pleasure to have him on board.

I have known Ricky for many years now, and what a pleasure it is to work with him!

Our most recent shoot was an Abroad trip to Portugal organised by Photography Holidays, I enjoyed every moment and me and Ricky created some awesome images together! Keep your eyes peeled!

Ricky is an amazing photographer, he has a great vision, he allows you to model freely but also inputs his ideas during the shoot, we have great banter, he is down earth, friendly and puts you at ease.

I really hope I get to work with again in the very near future! I highly recommend him to any model! You will leave the shoot full of laughter.

Thank you again Ricky for such an enjoyable week of shooting yet again! xx

I had the pleasure of shooting with Ricky whilst in Portugal for a Photography Holiday!

He's super fun to be around has a great sense of humour. He was always respectful of all the models and was really easy to work with.

Ricky has a great eye for photography and always strived to create something a little bit different, which is brilliant. The images of his that have come from the trip so far are fantastic, I can't wait to see the rest!

I'd highly recommend working with Ricky!

Thank you :)

It was a pleasure to work with Ricky in Portugal! I particularly loved his portraits and expressed to him that I want to create some cool portraits and we did just that! Ricky is very professional and has a great eye for detail and gave me clear direction when needed. He was very friendly and a great sense of humour. He even offered support to other photographers on the trip if they needed it. I’m very happy with the images we got.

Highly recommend to any model new or experienced!

Ricky.. what a great guy. Worked with him during the Algarve trip and what a pleasure to be around for 6 days. Ricky is friendly, respectful, helpful and a great laugh. Ricky is full of banter and laughs, and always ensures that the models are comfortable throughout. If you haven't worked with this guy, then you need to.

Hope to work together again soon!#

Well I mean what can i say about this one?

Ricky has been one of the best photographers I’ve worked with, he’s so easy to get along with, I can’t stop laughing when we’re shooting, he looks after you and makes sure you’re ok too which I give extra brownie points for!

I spent a whole week with Ricky over in the Algarve last week on Photography Holidays Trip, and loved every moment spent with him, he is definitely a part of my Algarve family and I am very much looking forward to working with him again! The images we created are awesome!! He definitely knows how to work the camera, the lighting and locations, he has a great eye and gave direction well when needed :) Can’t wait to show the finished images off.

Highly highly recommend any creative to work with Ricky, you won’t regret it xx

What can I say about my Peaky Blinder ♥ If you've watched the peaky blinders you'll know what I mean, Ricky's voice is the double of Arthurs in the peaky blinders, or as Ricky says, The Peachy Blinders haha!

I honestly can't recommend Ricky enough, I just spent a whole week with him shooting in the Algarve and I never stopped laughing, I had so much fun, Ricky looked after us all and was so chilled, full of banter and always made sure we were okay, never worked us too hard and even carried our bags, he's a true gent!

The images speak for themselves, he knows what he's doing with a camera and has a great eye for detail and gives good direction should we need it. Can't wait to work with him again in the future and catch up at the reunion with the rest of the Algarve family!

BY ORDER OF THE PEAKY BLINDERSSSS

I honestly cannot praise how amazing Ricky is! We shot together during a photography holiday in Portugal and his extensive knowledge of photography became very clear! We came up with some amazing image ideas and he then took all the time needed to help me create the images I wanted to create as well as trying our ideas he had. The images are absolutely amazing and I am extremely impressed with how well they came out and to the very high level they were edited and finished off!

During every shoot I felt completely at ease and I we were often laughing and giggling! Once the cameras were off we had the best time and Ricky’s outgoing, fun and lively personality often had us all laughing.

I could not recommend him enough and I’m extremely excited to shoot with him again!

Thank you!

Have shot with Ricky multiple times now.

He's very good at listening to my ideas and allows me to pose how I feel.

There are always many, many excellent images from every shoot we do and knowing how good the pictures are going to be each time and how quickly the time goes, it hardly feels like work. :)

Highly recommended

Ricky is such a fun guy to work with! We have shot together 3 times and each time it was super fun and creative! He is a true professional behind his camera and always puts his model’s well being first. I really look forward to our next shoot and I would highly recommend him.:)

I recently collaborated with Ricky as part of a high fashion duo shoot in London. He is an incredible photographer to work with as he has such an eye for detail and knows exactly what he wants and how to get it!

We only had two hours for our shoot, and the time literally just disappeared! However, Ricky utilised every minute and really made the most of the time we had; he was well-prepared, organised and highly efficient. He gave great direction when required and conveyed his vision clearly.

I really enjoyed working with Ricky and would happily work with him again - highly recommended. Thank you! :)
