“Rich is an amazing photographer and a great guy as well. Very professional and yet easy to get on with, clear with his advice and thoroughly enjoyed spending time photographing with him. If you want to develop your skills at a photographer and enjoy yourself whilst doing so then look no further than Rich. It also helped that his local knowledge meant that wildlife was present when it needed to be, which obviously is not something that can be guaranteed, but the more you know, the luckier you get! I would highly recommend him.” - Paul Saunders
