Rick is an absolute legend. Had such a great shoot together. We were on the same creative wave length, Rick knows his lights and matches them to themes and moods with ease. I highly highly recommended and look froward to our next shoot together. (Especially when doughnuts are involved!)

I had an amazing day at the studio shooting fitness. Rick put together a nice team with a makeup artist and an assistant, very well prepared the shoot with props, outfits and a mood board.

I had lots of fun, lots of laugh and the day went so fast that it made me not want to leave anymore.

Rick is always happy to pick up and drop from/to the train station and even provided lunch and snacks. The studio has everything needed and Rick is extremely professional while being super friendly and fun.

Thank you again :)

I had an amazing shoot with Rick in his awesome studio in Stockport. As always Rick was very polite , nice and friendly! He offered me a big variety of delicious snacks, was worried about my rest and drove me to the train station! It s always very comfortable and easy to work with him, we had a really nice chat and a lot of fun together!

His studio is very good equipped and convenient. It has good changing room with all necessary things (from light mirror till wireless charger for my phone.) Also there is a lot of really great techniques including a laptop where you can instantly see all shots. Rick is very good in lighting and all photos he made look gorgeous! I am always happy to work with Rick, cause all shoots with him are very enjoyable and easy. Thank you so much and hope to work with you again soon 🤗

I had a morning actor headshots session with Rick. The communication is always on point with him.

He picked me up from the train station and welcomed me at the studio with coffee and croissants.

Rick is extremely professional, easy going and working with him is always enjoyable with some good laughs. He knows how to make people feel comfortable.

We got some really good pictures from the photoshoot. Rick is really good at directing and I'm always amazed by his lighting.

I highly recommend Rick to everyone, beginners as experienced models.

Thanks again!

I had a delightful first shoot with Rick. From the get go he was super welcoming and I felt completely at ease.

We worked through a few different sets of headshots, and it was clear Rick has a huge amount of knowledge on lighting and how to achieve the look he's after. The time honestly just disappeared as it was such a relaxed yet productive shoot, I could've just kept going!

I'd completely recommend working with Rick if you get the chance, it was a lovely couple of hours :)

Thank you again!

Had a great experience once again in Rick's studio, this time with maestro himself :) The results are just stunning and the whole experience was smooth and pleasant as always. Rick's professionalism and attention to details are beyond any praise. Not only I got tons of great quality images, but also learned quite a lot about posing and composition. Can't be happier and hope that we'll have a chance to work again soon.

I was modeling for Rick’s workshop and everything went amazing as always with him. Rick is a very welcoming person and make sure you’ve got everything needed.

I find his lighting being one of the best I’ve ever seen and it makes so much difference on the pictures.

Thank you!

It was amazing shooting with Rick, he's very friendly and know how to make a model feel comfortable and relaxed. Between some good laughs, Rick is also really good at directing and knows exactly what he is doing.

This was the second time meeting Rick and I noticed that he is always full of amazing advices to other photographers.

Thank you for bringing such a good vibe and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Today's shoot with Rick was brilliant! We had a really chill few hours trying lots of different styles and lighting techniques. Rick is super friendly, approachable and we had lots of laughs making for a relaxing environment. As a model Rick gave plenty of feedback so I was confident in my posing and we were achieving a great result.

Today's shoot was the second time I had been to the studio and it is fully equipped a range of lights, a brilliant dressing room and kitchen.

Thank you again Rick for a great afternoon.

Bit of a last minute one as we decided less than 24 hours ago!

But I think we did a great job

Communication and direction brilliant as usual so we got through loads in 3 hours

I'd recommend Rick to anyone:)

The photographer rent a Bradbury Photography Studios for a day shoot. It was my second time in this place and it was really amazing like always! Rick met us so friendly and warm! He created perfect conditions for the shoot! He was making us tea all the time, helped with equipment, made perfect temperature in my changing room. Also i was happy to find out that the new light for the mirror was appered, so it was twice more comfortable to do my make up!

Thanks to the good equipment and great studio we had opportunity to create really great shots! And it s always so great to meet Rick. He is one of the nicest person i know, you will be really pleased with communication with him!

Looking forward to meet you again! Thank you so much!🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looking to fill some dead time between Christmas and New Year I contacted Rick at relatively short notice about hiring his studio for a full day and he was able to accommodate my request. The space was large, easily able to allow for full body fashion imagery and lots of creativity with a variety of lighting set-ups, and came with a selection of equipment that would require booking the place every week for a year to get through using them all. I even altered some of my concepts to be able to use things I hadn't had an opportunity to use before.

Rick was welcoming and friendly, who remained unobtrusive through the day but was always on hand to dig out a modifier, set up a new light or demonstrate the controls on unfamiliar equipment. Having some experience in a studio and a good idea what I wanted I booked the studio for a unassisted session but my conversations with Rick made it clear he is very knowledgable (far more than me) so if you feel you need an assisted booking I have no doubt you'll be in good hands.

Had a great experience using this studio and will be happy to use it again. Highly recommended!

We've met quite a few times over the years - I've recently come back to modelling so a few hours in the studio here was the perfect re-introduction to shooting! really looking forward to the photos

And I hope to be back soon maybe for a workshop :)

I was here for Feathered lighting workshop with EM450 as the model along with with Richard as teach!

Great studio and great knowledgable tutor in Richard. Pleasant and light hearted but always informative. Not just talking at you, but informing you, asking and letting you play a little.

Highly recommend both the studio space and Richard as an instructor. (y) (y)

As a photographer I've had multiple photoshoots , at Rick's Studio .. and also been to training events that he's run .. really he's now a Great friend, that I've come to know. During his Assistant Shoots Rick helps out in those key areas to get those decent shots that you need , by changing lighting and background.

and giving tips .. The Events he runs , you are filled with different information all over, from shutter , iso , lighting , shades, grids .. his knowledge is worth listerning to ..

.

The studio has facilities chairs,

However I find take a drink in your bag for events .. Still it's alot of fun to chat about afterwards..

.

Keep up the Great Work Rick.

Rick kindly selected me to model for one of his events last night, this one being A Portrait with Continuous Lighting event.

It was a great evening. As usual Rick’s pre shoot communications were brilliant. I was aware exactly what to bring along and how the event would pan out.

Rick is a very knowledgeable tutor and it’s lovely watching him demonstrate his skills, as well as obviously being part of the shoot.

It was a great evening, and everyone was lovely.
