I had a brilliant first shoot with Rich during my mini Scottish tour. Pre comms were spot on and Rich was professional, polite and highly organised. He even put a moodboard together so I knew what to pack and had a better understanding of what he was looking to achieve.

Once Rich arrived, he was so lovely to work with, friendly, chatty and so easy to get along with. He made the most of the space we had to shoot in, and worked hard to create some beautiful images. I really enjoyed our shoot and can highly recommend him to other models and studios. I look forward to seeing the final images, thanks so much Rich, and I hope we work together again in the future if you decide to carry on with model photography.

RICH is a lovely gent and we had a nice shooting together!

He pick me up from station and make comfortable directly.

We started off with some classy studio shoot before moving into a really cool boudoir set that Rich had thought up.

The whole shoot was really suited to my fave styles, allowing me to use my body fully with fun poses. I especially loved the modelling spotlight that rich brought to create a different boudoir composition and special effect.

It was such a relaxed shoot, he take care about my comfort,temperature and drinks.

Looking forward to seeing you again!

I had a wonderful shoot with Rich at his home studio - he has a beautiful space, clean, tidy and high quality, lighting props and furniture. Rich is a true gentleman, due to train issues he drove further out to collect me. We had a really good chat and found common ground during our journey and shoot.

Worked through many styles and adapted each set in many ways to really capture some amazing images throughout.

Rich is full of ideas, is a talented man and the images certainly show this! Down to earth and a real pleasure to work with, thankyou rich for an awesome shoot! Very much recommended and I look forward to working together again in the future!

Oh not to mention he has THE cutest fluff ball doggo 🥰

I met Rich for the first time at his home studio on Sunday and so glad I did!! He was a pleasure to meet and work with. His house is really cool and versatile which was great for the photos. As soon as I came in I was not by a beautiful puppy who is really fluffy andfriendly. I was offered tea and he us a lovely person,very creative and professional with really cool lighting ideas. We had lots to chat about and had so much fun. He let me pose as I liked but also had some really interesting ideas of his own which turned out great!

Recommended 100% and would happily work with him again. Really talented:),

Thanks Rich

I had a fantastic shoot with Rich today!

I initially applied to a casting call he put out a week ago, saying I was very keen but possibly not the right fit for the aesthetic he was going for. Instead, he said it wouldn't be a problem and decided to tailor our shoot to my strengths as a model. So instead of doing something more lingerie-focused, we ended up focusing more on moody portraits and art nudes with use of gels (something that is quickly becoming his signature style). I was really impressed with the quality of the images we got (there wasn't a single one I didn't like!) and equally impressed with how friendly and respectful he was.

Rich is an absolute joy to work with and I couldn't recommend him more. He also gets massive bonus points from me for having an extremely friendly dog! :)

What a lovely and incredibly talented person! Rich applied to my recent Scotland casting call and from the second I arrived he was welcoming, organised, full of ideas and very, very creative! We got on well right away and it's always great to work with a photographer who lets me perfect my poses and reshoot if I think I can do it better- Rich was one of these and the results in the back of the camera really showed this. They look fantastic and he really has a recognisable trademark style.

I'd recommend Rich 100% and really look forward to working together again. Thankyou. :)

Also: he has the most adorable fluffy dog.

What a wonderful shoot!

Rich booked me for a boudoir shoot at his home studio set up and the time flew by! Rich is incredibly respectful, laid back and exactly what you want from a photographer and someone to spend 4 hours with. His knowledge and passion for lighting his shots correctly is inspiring, and makes working with him an effortless task as a model, being able to focus on your posing and chatting all the way through was a blessing!

I'd highly recommend Rich to all models and would love to work with him again! Great company and an excellent, very talented individual! Thanks for a great day!

I had the pleasure of being rich's model on Sunday at the studio of Candy Heart for a nude tutorial.

Rich was polite well mannered and knowledgeable and full of conversation.

The 2 hours flew by and we went through a range of lighting scenarios and outfit changes.

Highly recommended and the final images are lovely :)

I had a fantastic first shoot with Rich today, I love meeting new photographers that are starting out and working with Rich was no different. You can really see, in his mannerisms and just in general, that he’s very passionate about photography and super keen to learn. I was able to tell him what works for me in terms of light, and he was picking up tricks super quickly and I just know we were able to create some really beautiful imagery. I sincerely think this gentleman will do well in this industry and work with many more talented creatives, I would recommend Rich to anyone! I really hope we can work with each other more in the future, thanks again :)
