I have been very lucky to work with some amazing people, here's a selection of the kind words they have said.

I had a wonderful first shoot with Richard. We had been planning it for a while, so I was really happy we finally managed to shoot while he was in London. We met near the underground station and immediately had a very friendly and relaxed connection. The atmosphere felt easy from the start, and we had a great conversation while walking around London. Richard had many strong ideas for locations, which made the shoot feel dynamic and inspiring. At the same time, he was very open to my input, so it felt truly collaborative and balanced. I had full freedom to pose and explore creatively, which made the process very natural and enjoyable. Before the shoot, he shared a mood board, which made everything clear and helped a lot with outfit choices and overall direction. The whole experience was smooth, fun, and effortless. From what I saw on the back of the camera, the results already look great! I am looking forward to seeing the final photos! Thank you, Richard, for such a great shoot. I really enjoyed working together, and I would be happy to shoot again in the future.

"I put out a casting for a collab shoot and had many photographers apply. I saw Richard's previous work and knew I wanted to work with him so we arranged a shoot in Norwich. Richard suggested the location as I didn't know that many places. Communication pre shoot was easy and quick.

The shoot was very enjoyable, I'm so impressed with all the photos, from looking at the back of the camera I can tell it will be hard to choose.
Richard is really professional and it felt easy to shoot with him, I would really recommend."

"Rich is an inspirational photographer who respects models he works with and does his very best to promote them. He encourages a good sense of style and has the ability to make the model feel heard and appreciated. He is extremely organised and very good at time management too. His communication skills are as wonderful as his photography skills.

"Richard and I first met during ECC meetups, where we had the chance to shoot together a few times. Recently, we finally worked together in a studio setting, and it turned out to be an incredibly successful session.Richard is professional, easy to work with, and creates a relaxed atmosphere that makes the whole experience enjoyable. He has a great eye for detail and really creative ideas that always bring stunning results.
I’d definitely recommend working with him and look forward to creating more together in the future."

"Today was my first shoot with beond photography and I really enjoyed it. We discussed ideas prior to the shoot so I had outfit ideas to bring for a fashion shoot. He had props including a ladder which worked really well. Beond photography was very smart, kind and professional and fun to work with. He had good equipment lights camera ect and a very nice converted studio. I highly recommend and cant wait to work with him in the future."

Communication is always perfect and organisation for the shoot was fantastic! He went out of his way to draw/write up outcomes and plans on what we can achieve if the weather was change on location shoot and brought props. Fun and easy to collaborate with.
Before the shoot, myself and Richard talked about styles, outcomes and moods ahead, with planning being easy and working together extremely well, we both got the exact outcome that we wanted from the shoot.
Very happy to work with Richard and to recommend to anyone, great photographer and really does produce great quality images.
I do plan to work with Richard again at some point! I cannot recommend enough!"

"Richard booked a 2 hour slot on a studio day with AJ the Model. I had invited him to check out the studio prior to the shoot day so that he could see some of the options. This helped him plan his shoot. He sent details of what he wanted to shoot to both me and AJ so that we could make his ideas come to life on the day.

On the day Richard was very easy and methodical to work with and was able to get all the shots he wanted. The back of camera images looked great and I'm looking forward to seeing the final edits.
Recommended and welcome back here anytime."

We shot in several locations around a large park and came up with some great images. Rich edited a generous amount of pictures in various ways and I’m really pleased with the results!"
"You've captured some of the best shots of me I've ever had, so I'm forever grateful."
