“Richard is an incredible artist and craftsman, his exceptional talents span the spectrum of the analog and digital world of photography. A gifted B&W printer, editor and image-maker.
I’ve worked with Richard for the past 3-4 years, both in-person and remotely on my B&W exhibition prints. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, they are truly finely crafted prints. As an added bonus, Richard is an excellent teacher, I’ve learned so much from him, he is always willing to share his hard-earned knowledge.
If you can use some help with your images or you want to take them to the next level you could do no better than to work with Richard. His unique skill set is hard to find, I highly recommend his services to you. Oh, did I mention that he is a great guy too!”
