I'm a lifestyle photographer with a passion for taking pictures of people.
I love people. I love bringing out that look, that expression, that feeling that the sitter is unaware of, or maybe knew was there but had never before seen.
Capturing that emotion, that rare moment, is a joy to me. To me there is nothing more beautiful than a pregnant woman, except perhaps a small baby... Creating the right environment, relaxing people, aiming for that timeless image to evoke real emotions; there can be no better profession, surely? From individuals to large family groups; celebrating specific events or just freezing time, I am a photographer with a passion for taking pictures of people.
I have a gorgeous, tailor-made portrait studio in Murrays Bay on the North Shore, but I can also come to you. Great portraits of people can be taken in their own home or use the great Kiwi outdoors (as long as it's not too wet!).
Whoever said you should never work with children and animals cannot have had much joy in their lives! Yes, I have won awards, but better than all the gongs is when a client says, "I love them!" I have a comprehensive website detailing most things I do, including pricing and guidelines, and a huge range of images in different categories.
Set up one of my portfolio slideshows, grab a glass of wine and enjoy! Call me on 09 476 8210 or 0800 PHOTOS and we can chat about your ideas.

I was thrilled with the results of our recent family photos. Our group of six included a lively 16 month old and a self conscious teenager, but Richard put everyone at ease and the resultant photos are just great. Richard's professionalism and the way he relates to all types and ages of people really makes a difference!

We had a fantastic experience with Richard. We came in to get some family photos but unfortunately our normally sweet little 12 month old was grouchy and tired and not in the mood for having her photos taken. Because of this I wasn't expecting to see many shots I liked when I came to view but was blown away! There were SOO many great shots and you would never have known that she was unhappy on the day. The hardest thing was chosing what to print! I would highly recommend Richard, he is friendly and professional and turns out some fantastic photos! Thanks again we will be coming back for more - Marika

Richard, you are a fantastic photographer. Friendly, professional and totally committed. I am amazed that you were able to capture such gorgeous photographs of my young niece and nephew. They were tired, and jet lagged, just off a 24+hour flight, and the weather certainly wasn't ideal. I was time constrained, and you were able to work within these time limits, producing great prints for my family. It was difficult to make a choice, from such a great selection. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking for a photographer. I know you will make every effort to meet their requirements. Claire

Richard, you are a fantastic photographer. your kind, warm and professional personality is perfectly suited to your profession. I am amazed that you were able to produce such gorgeous pictures of my young niece and nephew,who were jet lagged, 1 day after arriving in NZ after a 24+ hour flight. The weather wasn't ideal, but I had time constraints,and had to achieve some prints for our family. I am amazed you were able to produce our gorgeous pictures, with these conditions.. I am happy to recommend you to anyone wanting photography services, and feel you have the talent, personality, profesionalism and dedication to help them achive their goal. Thank you so much. Claire.

Richard went beyond the call of duty when photographing our large family group of 25 ranging from 90 years to 5 months. He was able to capture each shot with everyone looking their photographic best and produce perfect images. Easy to work with and a pleasure to know. He even managed to persuade the sun to attend!

Richard did an amazing job for us. We were not easy subjects: 3 unruly young boys and me, (a person who hates to get her picture taken!) Well the images turned out wonderfully. We would recommend him to anybody!

Just looking through Richard's professionally presented website and even before meeting him in person, I knew that our photo session would be very successful. And it was! So many great shots were taken on the day, it was really hard for me to select which one to give to my husband as a wedding anniversary present. Needless to say, my husband was delighted to get a beautifully presented mounted A3 artistic photo of me on our anniversary! Richard is a truly talented professional, a real people person, and I'll always recommend him to anyone who needs a great photographer.

Realising that my parents weren't getting any younger, I decided it was time to have their images 'captured' on film. We're not a particularly photogenic group but Richard did an amazing job of relaxing us in front of the camera and producing a selection of flattering and attractive shots for us to choose from. He did such a good job that we even managed to enjoy the experience. This guy is great and his amazing work is testament to his great skill.

We work as a fine art and canvas print supplier to a number of professional photographers and artists. Richard's work is among the best we've handled for studio & portrait photography, and landscape art. He is extremely good at what he does and a great person to deal with. Recommended.

Richard photogephed our 3 boys. He made our teenager & nearly teenager feel very relaxed and they really got into the session (despite having protested for hours that they weren't going, beforehand!). We were really pleased with the photos, so much so that we sent many of them for presents to relatives. We especially liked the "photo blocks" which stand up by themselves so you don't have to get them mounted.
