I had yet another fab shoot with Rlux today. This was the third time we've worked together and hopefully we'll have more shoots together in the future. He's creative, artistic and knows what images he wants to create, but at the same time is easy to work with and happy to try new ideas. Despite the bad weather we got some cracking shots and got to try out a new lens which worked brilliantly in the woods. I would absolutely 100% recommend Richard, he's a superstar and I love the images I've seen so far

I worked with the lovely Rich again at my home the other day and had such a lovely few hours! We have shot together so many times now and attend the odd social together that Rich is definately a friend of mine. Every shoot with Rich is enjoyable and he has so much enthusiasm and passion for photography, and longing for improvement and growth in the subject that its very inspiring to work together!

We worked together on his special "fabrics project" again producing beautiful artistic images incorporating different fabrics and textures using a variety of lenses, creative angles and movement. I love the atmospheric and and "out of this world" shots we achieved- they looked beautiful on the back of the camera and I really look forward to seeing the results! Thankyou for a lovely shoot as always and hope to work together again soon! Helen x

I had my 4th shoot with Richard last Saturday at Upper Mills, again Richard is just super to work with. He has creative and interesting ideas which always make for a fun and productive shoot.

I really enjoy working with Richard and look forward to a shoot in the summer time with him :)

Highly recommended from me, thanks Carla :)

I had a very enjoyable shoot with Richard today, after first meeting him at a social last year. He picked me up from the station and we spent a few hours exploring Bristol harbour. It was freezing cold but Richard was very considerate: making sure we stopped for lots of tea breaks and letting me keep my coat on where possible. He had loads of creative and experimental ideas which were great fun to try, and the results looked great. I'd certainly recommend Richard to others and hope we can shoot again soon.

Richard came and shot with Petra Callisto in home studio on Wednesday. We'd had a good level of communication beforehand, Richard was clear on what he wanted to achieve, making it simple to ensure I had the place set up to meet his needs.

Face to face Richard is very personable and easy to get on with. He has a good vision of the outcomes he wants from a shoot and has a pretty clear idea of how he wants to get them. He's gently spoken and, from what I saw, very respectful with the model with whom he's working. He works quickly and has isn't afraid to experiment with unconventional approaches to his photography.

I enjoyed having Richard here. Highly recommended

I shot with Richard at ADWs home studio recently and it was a great experience from start to end.

Pre shoot communications were rapid and concise meaning that I had an idea about the styles of photos he was looking to achieve from the outset.

Richard arrived on time, was friendly, and extremely professional at all times.

Richard is very easy going and laid back, and shows you the photographs often so you can see the results on the back of the camera, which is always a nice touch.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the final results of our shoot once they have been edited and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard to anyone. I hope to work with him again soon :)

I had my first shoot with Richard yesterday and what a shoot it was! Although the weather was freezing and the wind almost hurricane like, we both managed to adapt and make the most of it. We got some great shots including some fantastic movement ones thanks to the wind blowing my hair about!

Rich was a real gent and very friendly, even stopping to get me a coffee for a warm up break!

Highly recommend :)

I worked with the lovely Rich at my home again the other day and had such a great shoot! It was short but sweet as Rich was called into work- but as always so productive, creative and full of fun! Rich has a great passion for photography and its truly infectious on a shoot- I always feel inspired when I work with him. I love his creativity and joy in capturing spontaneous shots-.We had great fun with using a selection of materials trying to capture movement and expressions for his photography series.

Rich is a lovely friend and someone all models should shoot with, I always look forward to working with him and its been very inspiring seeing his work progress over the years. He is a lovely, trustworthy and kind person to work with also, I recommend him highly. Thankyou for a lovely shoot and see you soon :) Helen x

I had another shoot with Richard on Tuesday, our 2 hours was part of a whopping 12 hours of shoots that day, and our shoot definitely stood out as my favourite of the day!

It was so much fun and I really enjoyed the creative process!

Richard is a lovely guy to be around and a total gentleman!

I really couldn't recommend him higher if I tried!

Hope to see him again next time I visit :)

I had another brilliant shoot with lovely Richard at Upper Mills last Saturday. Richard again was a delight to work with, he comes with enthusiasm, ideas and he clearly shows passion for his art and it is great to be apart of Richard's work.

I can only highly recommend Richard and will look forward to our next shoot :)

Thanks

I had another fantastic shoot with Richard last week. :) Pre-shoot communication was great, I knew what to bring and where to meet and the pictures look amazing! Richard is one of the most creative photographers I work with and brought yet more new ways of working to this shoot, producing some really beautiful results. Thankyou for the ice cream and I look forward to working together again! :D

I had my first shoot with Rlux during my Cheltenham Tour. Richard pick me up from the station in Cheltenham and drive to an old farm. The location was really nice and the light was perfect. He is a professional person and apart from being a great photographer he is also a very good company, polite and genuine. Looking forward to work with him again.

Thank you it was a pleasure to work with you. Highly recommended

I had a fantastically adventurous day out with Richard a week ago during my Wales tour. He booked me for the entire day and we shot a HUGE mixture of things from crazy nudes to Fantasy esque horned devil lady vibes!! ;)

We first headed off to an large abandoned church I had explored a few years before- I had no idea if it would still be accessible, but it was and WOW did we get some great stuff there. We climbed through windows, up spiral stair cases and got some amazing images.

We then teamed up with Laura and headed off to the woods and a graveyard to shoot the fantasy styled stuff I had been so excited about.

All in all it was a great day. Richard (as he was the first time- all those years ago) was great to work with- focused with plenty of ideas of his own but also laid back and really good fun. The day flew by.

I am loving the results from the day so far and can't wait to see more! Thank you Richard :)

I had my 3rd shoot with Rich a few weeks ago and we where joined by the very talented Helen Diaz. The day was well prepared with straight forward plan of what Rich wanted to achieve.

Rich as always is very easy to work with, creative and professional. He also treated myself and Helen to a tasty lunch and the day really just flew by!

The results so far are outstanding and I'm really happy with what was achieved that day.

Highly Recommended!

I had yet another brilliant shoot with Richard, this time experimenting with fabrics and natural light to create emotive portrait images.

Richard always strikes me with his vision as to how all elements he incorporates in the image eventually come together to portray a certain mood. It is not only his creativity and technical skills that define him as a photographer but also his kindness and ability to inspire. This is also an opportunity to thank Richard for being so considerate - our lovely assistant Jo and I really enjoyed our ice cream at the end of the shoot!

Every time I have worked with Richard I've left feeling privileged to have become part of his creative world. I really couldn't praise him highly enough and I hope to work with him again soon.

I had another fantastic shoot with Rich today on location working some gorgeous fabrics and incorporating jumps and movement into the shoot. It was windy but a lovely day- perfect for swaying fabrics about and capturing some amazing movement shots! Rich kindly bought me to and from my home and even remember the water I had forgotten!

Working with Rich is always very enjoyable and inspiring- I have loved seeing his photography progress over the years and we captured some stunning shots. Rich is a very kind, considerate photographer to work with,every models dream. The photos look stunning and I am really looking forward to seeing the results! Hihgly recomended, until the next time! :) Helen x

I had a very productive location art nude shoot with Richard today. Even though the weather wasn't perfect, we got some really beautiful and original artistic images that I can't wait to see finished. Richard has a unique vision and style as well as being great company to work with. I'm looking forward to our next shoot already!

I can't count the number of times I have worked with Rich! Everytime we shoot together his work just keeps gets better and better- his organisation, approach, method of shooting and his post processing is just beautiful. Richard is such a lovely person to know and work with- he has a gorgeous personality, is a complete gentleman and lovely company. He is also super kind to share photographs after the shoot and super creative! I absolutely love the new shots we did together, he certainly thinks outside of the box! :) Super highly recommended and I hope we always work together, Helen x

I worked with Richard during my recent visit to his area and cannot wait to do so agan. He's creative, with a wealth of ideas and local knowledge, interesting to talk to and the two hours flew by. We shot a variety of outfits in several locations across central Bristol and there are some lovely pictures online already!

Pre-shoot communications were excellent and I where where I needed to be and when, eliminating any stress and panic searching for each other in the station! :)

I had a fantastic morning and look forward to wrking together when I next visit,
