Another visit from Richard at the studio, which is always a pleasure, as I know when Richard is here we are going to see some amazingly creative images.

Richard has a really calm manner about him, which always makes everyone feel relaxed and in return he get some totally amazing images.

He is an absolute pleasure to be in the company of and has an amazing talent as a photographer.

It is without hesitation I can recommend Richard 100% and look forward to seeing him soon at the studio.

I really enjoyed working with Richard at f/8 Studio last week. He conveyed some very specific ideas to me and showed me some of his previous work, which I loved. It was very interesting to work on Richard's concept. He knew exactly what he needed and the results look wonderful. I found him very easy to work with, polite and professional. I'd happily work with Richard again and recommend him to others.

I worked with Richard recently as part of my studio weekend at Inspire Studios. Richard came well prepared with really interesting and fun ideas and props, it was a real pleasure to work with him. Very polite, open to suggestions and respectful. We had very interesting conversations too which is always great!

Would highly recommend and love to work with him again!

I had a fantastic shoot with Richard at my studio day at Rawpics.

We’ve worked together many times before and work very well together so we were able to dive straight into shoot and worked so productively for the time we had.

We captured an amazing variety of looks and I love not only the angles Richard captured but also how he did it - switching between lenses and moving around the spacious studio to get the style of shot he wanted.

We share and develop ideas really well together and today was no exception, throwing in some new looks we haven’t done together before.

I’m really impressed with Richards photography and how it’s continually developing, and also what great company he is and how respecting and nice he is to work with.

Can’t wait to see Richard again in 2022!

Very highly recommended 😊

Richard and I got together for an autumnal atmospheric shoot at one of our favourite locations (and it was certainly worth getting my new pair of high heeled boots muddy!).

I’m always very impressed with the ideas Richard brings to the table and this time was no exception. We experimented with exposure and Richard created some incredible portraits. He is always very patient and focused and keeps going until he has captured the perfect shot.

It’s always a pleasure to shoot with Richard and get to spend some time with him. I look forward to our next shoot already. And perhaps I should challenge Richard to count how many times we will have worked together next time!

Highly recommended as always

This was RLUX 's first shoot with us at the studio, and what a really nice man. Arrived ontime and was eager to get looking around. Its great to see a photographer with great direction from what he wants from a shoot but also to incorporate new ideas with what is around him.

More than welcome to return to the RetreatOutpost.

I had another superb shoot with Richard today at the Retreat Outpost near Stroud. It’s no secret that I love working with this very talented and professional photographer - and today produced yet more stunning results.

I really enjoy Richard’s company and we have developed an extremely good working relationship which means no matter where we are shooting we get straight into it!

There’s a mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work and we are very collaborative in the way that we shoot - throwing ideas to the mix and developing concepts together as we go along.

I love Richard’s often experimental approach to photography and the fact that he’s always looking to try new things and push himself beyond what he’s tried before.

Many thanks for another amazing shoot and I can’t wait for the next! :)

I enjoyed another creative remote shoot with Richard recently, the images are fantastic!! He made some brilliant requests to plan our shoot around the sunset background, movement and light, and we worked together to explore a range of fantastic effects, with Richard giving great direction and feedback. I love what he did with the editing also.

Can't wait to work with Richard in person later in the year at Fareham Studio, looking forward to it :-)

Richard came to work with Melany and Retro Rob for the first time at the studio and wow what a genuinely lovely guy he is. His friendly nature along with his love for photography is great to be around and he has some cool ideas too. Would happily see Richard back at the studio again.

Retro Rob

What an absolute pleasure it was working again with this awesome Photographer.

Having worked with Richard before on a location shoot in Bristol with Melany I knew we were guaranteed some awesome images and once again Richard sure delivered just that.

Such a great collaborative feel and brilliant eye for a image was brought to Inspire Studios on the day and I can say once again it was a real pleasure to work with Richard thank you so much for a brilliant shoot and I loot forward to working with you again real soon and continuing the magic!

I was so chuffed that Richard booked a slot at a studio day I was co-hosting with Retro Rob at Inspire Studios.

The theme of the event was Fred & Ginger and Richard got totally on board with the theme and the images that we were trying to create. He used his energy, enthusiasm, creativity and originally to capture some superb images! The two hours flew by and all 3 of us worked so well as a team.

I really REALLY enjoy working with Richard. I love his company and find him super interesting to talk with, his knowledge of photography and collaborative approach means that I always find myself shooting different styles with him.

Very highly recommended and can't wait to work with Richard again x

Richard and I shot on the North Somerset coast and having shot with him before I knew it was going to be a great day!

We had full sun but they didn’t bother Richard, as always he had the right kit with him and his usual enthusiastic and creative attitude!

We had a incredible few hours shooting mainly art nude on a nearly deserted beach, which felt very fortuitous as the summer holidays have now started.

We got straight into shooting and it was an absolute joy to work alongside each other, picking out features from this incredible landscape and exploring what images we could creates from them.

I was blown away with the images Richard was capturing and the 4 hours went by way to quickly.

In short, Richard comes very highly recommended as he’s a delight to work with, lovely company, and a fantastic photographer. Can’t wait for the next shoot with him! :)

I worked with the lovely Rich at my home for a few hours and it was so lovely to catch up! Sorry for the belated reference (I have been enjoying post wedding bliss! :) )

Its been so lovely knowing Rich over the years and seeing his photography develop and blossom! I consider Rich a really good friend and love his company! He is such an old school gentleman, so endearing, softly spoken and kind!

His photography is beautiful and he aims to take beautiful artistic photographs. Absolutely highly recommended to all models and creatives, really hope to work with you again soon! Helen x

Another great day with Richard.

He has the most creative mind and eye for capturing totally stunning images. His manner in the studio is totally professional, but with a sense of humour that makes the day fly by. Watching him work is a real pleasure as he just flows so naturally, which makes life for the model much easier.

This can be seen in his photos.

Without hesitation I highly recommend Richard 100%
