About
I am a professional photographer, an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and of the British Professional Photographers Associates.
Areas of special interest are portraiture (Environmental and studio, including model portfolios), theatre photography (especially dance), sport, and plants. I organise portrait sessions for local photographers, and always require models for these. Any model interested in taking part, should contact me .
I have exhibited at the Ferens Art Gallery, the EICH Gallery, and Sewerby Hall. I am a past winner of the East Coast Open Portrait Competition.
I have had work published in France, Germany, Australia and the United States, as well as the U.K.
I offer a friendly, competitively priced service, and am always happy to discuss the requirements of any client.
What they say :
"I've worked with Richard quite a lot ... He is a fantastic photographer and would recommend others to work with him.
As a dancer it's so important to work together with a photographer to capture the right timing of the movement and Richard is fantastic at this ! He knows when exactly to capture the moment and the images always come out looking fab ...He is very professional and also really nice to work with. He is very creative and always makes the model feel comfortable. He really is a fantastic photographer and a great guy."

"Upon meeting Richard for the first time, I found him to be polite, friendly and very easy to get along with. He was very clear about what would be expected of me, and cared a great deal about my comfort and safety as a model. Richard was kind and helpful throughout the shoot, and has maintained excellent communication following the shoot.
I highly regard Richard as both a photographer and an individual, and would definitely recommend him to anyone !"

"I had my first ever group shoot with Rich yesterday, and I have to say I had an amazing time ! Rich's communication before, and now after, the shoot was/is just spot on. He took the time to make me feel comfortable and made me feel immediately at ease as soon as I arrived at the shoot. I honestly cannot recommend Rich enough. A wonderful, professional, warm attitude was presented throughout the shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed myself !"

"...Throughout the shoot he was an absolute gentleman and at the end of the evening he escorted me back to my car ! It was an absolute pleasure to work with him. Definitely recommend ! "

"Had a great first shoot with Richard. He's very friendly and easy to talk to and I felt totally at ease with him. He was very organised and knew exactly what he wanted to shoot, and had great communication before too. I have seen a couple of the images already, and they're fab ! Really pleased, highly recommended and totally worth the 7 hour round trip !!!"

" Had a great many shoots with Rich. He is a great photographer - and always makes sure the model is 100% comfortable on set; very caring and very professional. He always delivers great images after a shoot very quickly and of outstanding quality. Would recommend him highly to other models."
