Hello, I'm Richard, a keen hobby photographer who now lives in Surrey. I started taking photos when I was very young, and later bought my first SLR, before switching to digital in 2004.   I started doing portrait work in April 1986 and prefer to shoot outdoors, using both seasonal colours and urban surround to enhance the subject, at locations in the UK and various European countries. I consider that I have a good sense of humour with a relaxed and friendly attitude, adopting a totally professional attitude in all my work. I am equally happy to work with someone who is new to modelling as with someone who is experienced.

I believe mutual respect, patience and good communication to be of paramount importance throughout a shoot. I am very self critical  and greatly value constructive criticism from both models and photographers as my goal is to continually produce work of a very high standard.

I prefer to generally capture the informal look with regards outfits, the natural look with regards make-up and to utilise accessories (such as sunglasses) to introduce variation into my work. I do not undertake topless, nude or any other NSFW photography.
