I'm Richard. I have reconnected with photography after some years concentrating on teaching City & Guilds level 3 tv and video techniques (with a 100% pass rate!) and producing commercial videos and documentaries. I have done some paid photography in the past, though it has really just been more of a hobby. Please see my castings on PP and Madcowmodels for current projects. I usually only shoot with female models, unless I have a specific shoot in mind. I also have references on PP. I am easy going, patient and always open to new ideas. I like to learn new things and have new 'photographic' experiences. Recently, I have met and worked with some wonderful people and hope to meet and work with many more. I am always looking to shoot new things, so if you want to collaborate and produce some images that we can both use then do get in touch. All ideas will be given the same consideration. I am generous with my images for collaboration shoots. I am happy to work with experienced or novice models, so, even if you are brand new to the industry get in touch and let's get some great images for both of our portfolios. PLEASE NOTE: Unsolicited messages asking me to pay you for a shoot will always receive a negative response. I will accept unsolicited messages for TF only. I mainly shoot TF and only pay models if I have a 'must shoot' idea, or a commissioned shoot, which happens from time to time. Sadly, I no longer have commercial studio facilities of my own, since closing Essex Media Workshop. I do, however, have a basic home set up of soft boxes, umbrellas and backdrops. Location shoots: I love location shooting, however, I suffer from MS so I don't travel too far. Thanks for looking. I am the official photographer for a local princess party company. Have produced WW2 documentaries on DVD which were distributed to schools in Essex and libraries nationally and internationally. Taught City and Guilds level 3 television and video techniques to disabled and disadvantaged adults for 12 years. Our studio/ college has now sadly closed. Have lectured in camera techniques at the University of Essex. References on Purpleport. I am on Purpleport, Madcowmodels, Adult Folio and Model Mayhem under the same name.
