Richard’s daily workload is extremely varied, taking him in the last year from the calm order of Cambridge museums to the vivid colour and noise of Nigeria – via the more familiar setting of the studio used for product shoots and portrait sessions.

What links all these is Richard’s skill at drawing out the very best of people – whether as subjects or students. A qualified teacher, Richard has led full time college courses as well as part time evening classes and along the way has inspired and encouraged many budding photographers to develop their skills and realise their own potential.
