Had the opportunity to work with Richard once again yesterday and wasn't disappointed! Richard is one of the most welcoming and accommodating photographers/studio owners I've had the pleasure of working on.

For this shoot he had a great concept and really allowed me to add my own mark to it. The whole day went so smoothly and the images he was able to capture were beautiful.

I always love working with Richard and this was no exception. I'd 100% recommend working with him and I looking forward to creating more beautiful images with him in future!

Thanks again Richard!

After some initial complications and reschedules from both of us, I finally got to shoot with this wonderful man. Richard picked me up from the nearest train station and after a short drive to Crossroad Studios, began our shoot.

It was relaxed from the start, we had a cuppa, smashed the storage heaters on (the studio is in an older building, but Richard made sure I was warm enough throughout) and got on with what we had planned. We mostly did fashion and portraiture, which suited us both just fine, always making sure after 10/15 images we could both improve on certain parts to get some top quality stuff.

This shoot was so much fun and a massive laugh, which is so key for me as a model to get my best quality work out. I would love to work at both the studio and with Richard again in the near future which I am sure we will... x

Meeting Rich was so lovely! He eased me in with some simple portraits and we had a good laugh. The studio was lovely and well decorated, and I can’t wait to go back already. We somehow managed to do a full shoot with 4 different looks and make up in maybe 4 hours and it was so much fun. I’d thoroughly recommend working with Rich ☺️

I Had my first shoot with Richard yesterday at his studio and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was instantly made to feel at ease and comfortable. He has a lovely dressing room where you are able to change and get ready. I was given good direction all throughout the shoot and managed to get the looks I wanted. I look forward to seeing the final pictures and hope I get to work with Richard again I'd highly recommend him for anyone

Had my first shoot with Rich yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Pre comms and organisation were faultless and Rich kindly collected me and dropped me off at station despite going out of his way. Rich is easy going, respectful, professional and all round top bloke. I was equally impressed with the fact that Rich takes great pride in his photography with creative ideas and attention to detail which is clearly highlighted in his fab work. From what I already seen we produced some superb images and worked well as a team. Rich gets my upmost recommendation. Thank you once again for a great day and look forward to shooting again soon :)

Had a great shoot with Richard on Sunday at his studio. We had good communication before the shoot, Rich was very informative & gave me a warm welcome to the studio. I felt 110% at ease, he directed me well to create some of the great ideas he had. I look forward to seeing the images!:D

I was very pleased to be asked to model for Richard at his studio. We worked on a very creative 1920s theme and with our MUA Rosie, we pulled the idea together really well. This was our first time working together and I really enjoyed the experience and being able to shoot something quite unique. Richard is without a doubt a very talented photographer and editor but above that he is so friendly, easy to click with and he makes me laugh. We created some fab pictures and I am really looking forward to working with him again soon. Lucinda.

My shoot with Richard was long overdue! I managed to work with him during the studio day. It is always a pleasure to work with Richard and next time we won’t leave it as long! We started shooting in the studio and then we went upstairs where it was in the process of being built on so it made for a great place to shoot some derelict dance shots! I had a great day and the 8 hours flew by! Can’t wait to be back soon!

Highly recommend!

I had my most recent shoot with Rich a few days ago, this was our third shoot together and as I knew how much I enjoyed our first two shoots I was really looking forward to it.

Rich arrived on time and it was good to have a catch up, he has lots of ideas and has a creative eye for what makes a good image. The shoot was very relaxed and fun and the time flew by, Rich is a lovely person to work with, he is genuine, friendly and the perfect gentleman too, you can’t ask for more than that.

I am thrilled with the images that I have seen and can’t praise Rich highly enough.

Thank you for a brilliant shoot and look forward to the next,

Amy xx

I had the pleasure of shooting with the lovely Rich at a studio event over in Haworth, where I was booked to model for the evening.

He is a great, friendly and professional. He has a lovely manner and I found him really easy to get along with.

Just by looking through his current portfolio you can certainly see he knows his stuff and that was evident on the night as well.

Highly recommended.

He's a cool, friendly guy, who makes sure you are looked after!

We were both able to create the images we were after with ease.

I highly recommend him to anyone, and will definitely be working with him again.

Had a fantastic shoot with Rich! He made me feel extremely at ease and was very welcoming from the offset. His communication before the shoot was excellent and I knew exactly what to expect. His guidance during the shoot was also fantastic. I felt like he had a great artistic vision and knew what he wanted to achieve. Rich is highly professional as well as friendly and easy to get along with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a photographer to anyone

I was working with Richard for a first time about 2 years ago, we was organising a group shoot together. He is very polite, I can recommend him to others without a moments hesitation. I'm looking forward to work with him again. He is very respectfull, polite and easy to get along with.
