I shot with Rich yesterday and it was a fun and relaxed 2h shoot.

We met in the elevator of the underground which I found really funny as he was carrying a small chair and I was staring at him like "is he the photographer Im shooting with next?"

We walked together to the studio then I quickly got ready for the shoot while he set up the lights. It was really nice of him to bring snacks and water and I really did appreciate that.

He would explain the mood then let me pose freely and do my thing. Took small breaks in between sets - was super considering of him to let me warm up as it was super cold in the studio.

Would definitely shoot with Rich again as it all went super smooth.

I've been so impressed by Rich from start to finish. :)

His pre-shoot comms are always perfect, from planning what we wanted to shoot to where we were going to shoot and directions whilst on set. Everything was clearly presented, messages were professional, warm & friendly, and Richs years of experience working with a variety of models was evident. On our shoot day they was friendly and chatty and she couldn't have done more to make me feel at ease.

I would absolutely recommend collaborating with Rich to all Models and look forward to creating with him again in the near future.

Thank you for a productive and very positive shoot :)

Kindest regards

Very comfortable to work with, Richard is very conscious human & photographer, feels like you can communicate with him on lots of levels, great & clear directions given and allowance for personal expression was plenty. Love the photos too & can't wait to post. Recommended :)

What a whirlwind of shoot! Richard is an absolute gem, his pre-comms/shoot plans were fab' and his passion is clear to see. We both turned up at studio, even with a little bit of time to spare, and yet the shoot just flew by.

We experimented with some new ideas which was a fun challenge, he was patient with trying things out, and we got a bunch of awesome images! He was very respectful and I can highly recommend working with him.

Thank you!

Shooting with Richard was AWESOME!

That was the fastest a shoot has blown past for me, I think ever. A real whirlwhind of creativity and within such a lovely and comfortable atmosphere too.

After initial contact, Richard then messaged to see if I happened to be free for a shoot after another one had sadly fallen through and luckily I was in London at the time and very keen! I'd been very much looking forward to working together. His artist statement spoke to me on a fundamental level and I'd been admiring his wonderfully raw, real work since it first appeared on my screens. It was a honour to be booked by him!

Pre-comms were perfect. Professional and friendly and with a beautiful moodboard I highly resonated with too. It felt great to feel so aligned with someones creative direction and I was really excited to work with him.

Upon meeting in the studio it was of course clear that Richard is nothing short of a lovely and genuine human being in person too who just exudes comfortability and authenticity. That matched with his desire to capture humans in their real and raw state, actively challenging the norms of male gaze centred art, and not even to mention having fantastic photographic talent, made him the ideal person to shoot with. I'm so glad that we changed the original two hour window to three hours because it honestly FLEW by and left me invigorated and super excited to work with him again.

I really appreciated how easy Richard was to talk to and the environment being such a safe and relaxed space. He provided lots of delicious snacks for me too which was kind and was patient with me almost accidentally eating butterflies instead!

The back of the camera shots look absolutely incredible. Richard periodically showed me throughout the afternoon and each time I was enamoured.

I could ramble forever. Basically everyone ever should shoot with him. A highly recommended experience !

Thanks again Rich, til the inevitable next time!

I was really looking forward to meet Richard because our messages were really professional and respectful!

And i was not disappointed, the shoot went smoothly, we had great laugh and I really enjoyed working together!

Would do it again without a doubt !

Had a great shoot with Richard today! He had a detailed shoot plan beforehand so we were both on the same page. I felt very safe and comfortable shooting with him and I loved his focus on natural elements of the human body (hair, skin, bones). Can't wait to see the final shots!

Richard was my first shoot in London and I had a fantastic time! He was very clear on what he wanted to shoot, brought me snacks and water, was considerate of my energy and allowed breaks, and from what I can see from behind the camera, took beautiful shots. Would warmly recommend!

Shot with Richards as part of a small workshop hosted by Andrew.

I enjoyed shooting with Richard very friendly guy who directed me well on certain poses he wanted to shoot. He also allowed me to pose freely and look back at the camera between sets.

Richard is a talented photographer and I hope to work with him again soon.

I sometimes forget to leave reviews straight after a shoot but Richard brought me chocolate which was definitely a strategic move for me to write this one in a reasonable delay.

There's so much wonderful things to say about this first shoot we had today, I've just had an amazing time and didn't see where the hours went.

It's extremely refreshing for me to see people creating for their personal artistic growth and I'm thankful I get to contribute. It makes me feel valued in my modelling work, and this is the feeling I got from today. This is huge for me.

Richard also is an amazing drawer and painter, and after I checked is work I felt even more honoured to have a possibility to assist him in refining his style.

Professional, kind, fun, laid back, friendly, brings me coffee, all the boxes are ticked. And the chocolate, obviously.

Please come back whenever, I'd be so happy to get to do this again!

Heavenly Bodies Studio

Richard worked at our studio "Heavenly Bodies Studio" and was so professional and respectful to work with, it was a pleasure to host him!

He has a wonderful upbeat personality and was very respectful of the studio and space. Highly recommended to all models and creatives and welcome back any time! :) Helen x

PGD Modelling and Photography Studios

Richard arrived nice and early ready for his first session down at PGD.

He was well mannered and relaxed, which fitted in great for our busy relaxing studio.

He worked with Ria on her model day and produced some stunning work.

I showed Richard the basis of our lights and left him to it, I heard lots of satisfied clicks of the camera, and the results he has shared are first class.

A very pleasant session, and a nice guy to match.

Working with Richard is a delight and highly recommend him.

I worked with Richard for the first time at my lovely studio "Heavenly Bodies studio" and had such a lovely first shoot!

It was my first time working with Richard and I have to admit that I am always a little nervous (!) even after all of these years!

However from the start; from first opening my front door, Richard was so kind, professional and personable. I was greeted with a smile and a warm American accent. He was also super kind to travel from London on the train as he knew that my mini tour had fallen through! :)

As a photographer Richard is a joy to work with; professional, respectful and creative. He really knows his way around the studio and wasn't afraid to get stuck into using the lighting equipment! He effortlessly set up the beauty dish and lighting and made the most of the space and equipment available. As a result the lighting was very flattering and the images were beautiful!

We worked together on a variety of photographic genres from fashion, portraiture, beauty to sheer and art nude using the styling and wardrobe I had in my collection! :) He also gave great direction and was fantastic company.

Would I recommend him? ABSOLUTELY! :) Richard is a truly lovely person and I really hope to catch up again in the Spring working on location. I can highly recommend Richard to all models and creatives and look forward to the results! Thank you for a lovely shoot! Helen x

I had my first shoot with Richard this Saturday in London, and it was amazing.

The pre-shoot communication was great, we decided everything in detail ahead of time.

We had the shoot in a studio, we decided to cover different styles, from portrait, to topless and art nude.

He is talented, knows how to work with lighting and also brought some interesting items to use in the shoot.

I think the results of the shoot are stunning! Also, he was able to provide a series of photos in just a little time, and that is not usual in a photographer!

Highly recommend him!

I shot for the first time with Richard during one of my studio days at Space63 in London last November (sorry for the late reference 🙈)

Pre-comms were great, he sent me a very detailed mood board and he arrived on time bringing some snacks for me (so sweet!).

Richard is a very good photographer and wonderful person, hope to work together again soon!

Thanks Richard :)

Met Richard for the first time when he booked some time to work with Kelsey on her last studio day here.

Richard is very professional. It goes from his pre-comms all the way through the actual shoot and to the images produced. He made the model feel comfortable and they created some epic shots, I am well chuffed :)

Thank you Richard, you are welcome back anytime :)

Richard booked myself and Thelema for a photo tutorial and I am so happy he did. Richard is truly creative and understands art and photography and is so keen to learn from other photographers, open minded and super down to earth.

We worked on fine art nude themes using different clothing props and I really liked everything I've seen on the back of the camera.

Highly recommend to all and hope to work together again in the future.

Thank you ,

Richard booked Irida and myself a styled fashion nude tutorial shoot. Really lovely guy, very down to earth, personable and respectful. He has a very clear vision of what he would like to create and is confident in his photography, however he is also open to ideas and suggestions, willing to give things a try and turn them into something beautiful.

Really enjoyed working with you and looking for forward to future creations
