Richard was honestly amazing ! I could not recommend him enough, he made me feel very comfortable and even helped me gain confidence throughout the shoot. He helped me with everything along the way, with me being new to modelling and it was a really fun day overall, he is an amazing photographer as well as a new friend ! He is so positive and a really great person to be around. He has definitely made me want to continue with these type of shoots !

I had my first shoot with Richard yesterday and all I can say, it was amazing! We created some amazing images together.

I had followed Richards account on Instagram a while ago and always admired his work, I am very thankful to of had the opportunity to work with him and I look forward to our next shoot in the near future and many more after!

I would definitely recommend Richard, he has a good eye for detail and is a kind and funny man too work with, I felt comfortable to whole time and I can’t wait too see the images!

I finally shot with Richard on a recent photography trip to Spain. Richard was an absolute delight to work with,I’ve never met such an approachable,fun and friendly person! From day one Richard kept the whole group in high spirits with his jokes and big smile!

Richard is clearly a very talented photographer with an artist eye (he also cared to show us his art collection) and I regret not shooting with him sooner! From the back of the camera Richard’s images were beautiful and I appreciated his interest in shooting different styles,including a few stunning beauty portraits! Richard was so helpful and thoughtful towards the models from the first day,by the end of his time on the trip we was all sad to see him go!

I would absolutely recommend working with Richard,I now cannot wait to see the finished results!! I hope to work with Richard again soon.

I cannot speak highly enough of Richard, but what can I say that hasn't already been said? His energy is infectious and was such a positive impact on the group... The first time meeting Richard was on a trip to Calpe, Alicante along with 3 models and other photographers and all I can say is what an absolute pleasure it was for Richard to join us, meeting him was the main highlight of the trip and for me made it all worthwhile as work trips can be not only stressful but was eventful! He was the rock to the group and kept the status quo if you like he was the one who everyone seemed to gel with the most as he is very extroverted but not in an obnoxious irritating showboat way, he has a good sense of character and judgement to read the room and keep everyone in good spirits without taking charge kind of way. He is observant but not invasive and was respectful to everyone, he wasn't pushy and went with the flow of things.

Richard is a joy to be around and I'm hoping we will cross paths again in the near future I would be happy to work with him again. He really can see each models potential and works to their strength to get them feeling thier best, getting to watch him work with each model individually shows he can be versatile with styles as we shot at many different locations and each came with challenges for each model.

I have seen images back from the trip and they speak for themselves! A trip can be difficult spending a week with people you have never met before comes with a level of trust between the model and photographer and Richard clearly respects and understands that which as a model is reassuring to have mutual respect and shows good intentions... Overall without seeming like Richards number one fan he's great just a genuine laugh and enjoyable to work with and I wanted to leave a reference that reflects that like trip advisor people go out of their way to leave bad reviews well words matter and do make such a difference so I want to show my gratitude for sharing your time with us on the trip because time is something we don't get back but we remember the impact people had on us, so thank you for bringing your enthusiasm and just being awesome it was truly my pleasure.

If you get the chance to work with Richard I can say it will not be your standard shoot, it will be worth your time and you probably will be back again which I'm hoping we will shoot again soon...just like most gems, Richard lives quite far away so looks like I will be making a highly anticipated trip over to Liverpool shortly - which I look forward to!

I met Richard during a week long photography trip to Spain organised by Graham Gilbert.

I instantly connected with Richard during our initial conversation on the first day he arrived in Spain; he radiates positivity, fun and kind vibes. You can tell Richard is a character almost straight away.

He kept the group in high spirits all week, took charge of situations when necessary but always remained positive, calm and approachable.

I really enjoyed shooting with Richard, he was very receptive to my favourite style of shooting (portraiture) and made sure each time we worked together it was based around my modelling strengths. His imagery of all the models during the week is absolutely beautiful, retouching, composition and skill.. all second to none.

A pleasure to work with and most definitely recommended by myself.

My shoot with Richard went really great. Despite of inclement weather we still managed to shoot both indoors and outdoors. Richard provided an amazing and spacious indoor location to shoot at. Richard had a lot of creative ideas to implement so we did really great working like a good team. Richard showed me some great outdoor spots where he took some great and diverse shots. Richard’s pre-communication was on spot and we discussed all ideas and outfits beforehand. I really enjoyed our shoot

Thanks Richard,looking forward to shooting with you again

Highly recommended,100%

Richard was one of the photographers to join myself and 4 models in Spain earlier this year. I had never met Richard before this, but in messages came across very well and friendly.

Upon arriving Richard was a breath of fresh air. He is funny to be around, and overall a super guy. Think he got along with everyone during the week and all enjoyed his company.

While shooting the models he was always accomodating, and helpful to them by offering to carry bags. He had good and different ideas to many others on the trip which sets his images apart. He has a strong interest in fashion and beauty

Overall I am happy Richard attended and would have no hesitation in him coming on a future trip or event. He would be an asset to it. I would also recommend any model to work with him given the opportunity

Had an amazing shoot with Richard yesterday, he met me at the station which was helpful, as soon as I got there he made feel feel countable and relaxed, offered me drinks and snacks. We did some amazing shots both inside and outdoors. He knew what he wanted to get out of the shots and had some great ideas. Can’t wait to see what they turn out like. Overall a really great shoot hopefully we can shoot again soon!!

I saw a casting Richard posted which I applied for hoping he would get in touch which he did. After several messages everything was taking place for us to work together. Once the date and time was set we started to discuss ideas, however Richard had some ideas that he would love to shoot so I supplied him with images of clothing I thought would be most suitable for images. I did throw a few extras together which he appreciated too.

We ended up shooting at his home which was absolutely perfect for what we wanted to achieve. Richard was so nice throughout the shoot and we got through quite a few sets including a couple outdoors, it was a little cold but was worth it for the images. Really looking forward to seeing the results.

I would 100% recommend working with Richard and hope to work together again soon.

Had my second shoot with Richard on Easter Sunday! Yet again he did not disappoint with his friendly attitude, professionalism and of course yet again he offered some snacks through the shoot! Which these small details go a long way when shooting, as us models gets hungry ah!

I’m looking forward to seeing these set of images, as I love the first lot we shot! We switched up the location for every look including outdoors and indoor his beautiful house! Which is more like a mansion.

Highly recommend and I’m already looking forward to arranging other shoot with him

Yesterday I had my first shoot with Richard at his beautiful home. Richard was extremely welcoming, polite and professional!

We got very creative and had lots of fun during our shoot. I am very much looking forward to working together again and I would highly recommend Richard to any model looking to add quality images to their portfolio :) x

I had an amazing shoot with Richard in his location on Hamilton Square. Richard chose outfits before the shoot, so it was very easy to understand what style does he look for. His studio is located near metro station so it was very easy to get there! It a huge house that looks more like a castle with a lot of rooms and great locations. Richard was very sweet and nice with me. He made me a tea and prepared snacks that i asked before, that was very very kind! Also in the middle of our shoot he made me a great and very delicious lunch! So i wasn't hungry over the shoot!🙈 Richard is very attentive person, he cared about my comfort all the time, our shoot was very relaxed and funny. He works not very fast so it s easy to pose and not hurry. He knows how to work with light and angles and photos look really great! Also i was very happy that he was shooting backstages with a special stick, so i have a lot of great videos from our shoot now! In the end he was so kind to let me look over the photos and pick all that i like. It was quite unusual for me, so i have been very happy to do it!

Also we had a great time together after our shoot. Richard is awesome friendly person, happy to help if it s necessary! We had a great chat and he treat me with a dinner and drinks in two very unusual and special places in Liverpool that i have been very happy to visit! Thank you so much for an amazing shoot and great time together in the evening! I was very happy to meet you, and I am looking forward to working with you again 🤗

We had a shoot.

It was cute.

I ain't seen the shots yet but I can say that shooting with Richie Rich in his mansion was grand, a superb experience that I would undoubtedly be willing to repeat.

Rich made me feel at home, as it were, and has so many aesthetically pleasing rooms to shoot in. Rich is an enthusiastic photographer with a friendly, warm manner and he allowed the shoot to flow naturally which I find always renders the best results.

Rich also likes to offer toast. I didn't accept this offer but if you like toast, I'm sure it'll be cracking. Gromit. :)

Very fun professional shoot!

Richard was very friendly from start to finish, I really enjoyed shooting in his amazing big house! Lots of shoot locations, and different looks we achieved.

All outfits were planned before hand, he made me feel very welcome offering me snacks and drinks throughout the day.

I’ve seen a few of the images already, and I am very pleased!

We are already planning our next shoot & I’m really looking forward to it!

Highly recommend :)

Shot today with Richard and it was a fab shoot upto topless using natural lighting. The weather was perfect and we got loads of beautiful shots inside usi v the windows and outside in an enclosed back yard space and some fashion on the courtyard opposite. I felt more than comfortable throughout with the perfect balance of chatting and shooting. Looking forward to shooting again, infact were already planning our next shoot so I'd highly recommend shooting

I had my first shoot with Richard today and hopefully it most certainly won’t be the last.

I was instantly made to feel welcome. I was offered snacks and drinks. Richard has the warmest personality, so easy to talk to and we had a good laugh too.

His home is absolutely stunning, a really beautiful place to shoot. Time went way too fast! I really had the best day. Richard is extremely talented and knows exactly what he wants in a shot, awesome style too! I can’t recommend him enough.

Thank you for an awesome shoot. 😊

The shoot was one of the best shoots I've had so far. I felt comfortable, we had the same ideas and the pictures were amazing. He is an experienced photographer, I noticed this from the way he does his job and from the result of the photo session. I recommend him with all confidence, he is an exceptional photographer.
