Shot with Richie again recently doing an outdoor shoot for a couple of brands he is an ambassador for. I have to thank Richie for being great to work with especially in some bitterly cold winds. I think we compliment each other with ideas pretty well, to the point we could probably show up anywhere now and make it work for on location fashion shoots.

Sensual Passions

From the initial contact to actually meeting Richie, I was blown away with his enthusiasm and professionalism.

I really enjoyed planning and communicating with Richie ahead of the Zombie Shoot. He went above and beyond by distressing some clothing he had bought to fit in with the theme.

Arrived on time and was polite and courteous. He took direction really well and had brought out his inner zombie.

Working with Richie was amazing because he brought humour and fun to the shoot.

I definitely would like to work with him again!

Having shot with Richie in a workshop previously we arranged another shoot. Richie is punctual and a joy to work with, bringing many looks and having his own suggestions. Easy to talk too and generally a joy to work with. We blasted though a ton of shots in about an hour, which ended up being good timing as it started to tip it down shortly after. Hopefully get to work with Richie again soon.

Richie’s pre comms were fantastic - and was very enthusiastic throughout the whole shoot. He was on time (early actually) came very well prepared, was more than comfortable with outfit changes and nailed every pose and open to all the suggestions I had. Was a pleasure to shoot together!!
