Skill set
Richard in a few words
I pride myself on consulting with brand founders and industry professionals on their creative challenges, in order to offer perspectives through creative collaboration, underpinned by 20 years of experience. As a people-person, I value the social aspect of my career – and all my passions for travel, playing music, tech, & motorsports can often work in tandem.
At my core, I’m a visual creative; a background as a photographer and director, who revels in visual and conceptual ideation, through to creation, & post. I ‘plug & play’ my skills into any stage of the creative cycle, however seeing campaigns and projects flourish end-to-end gives me the greatest joy. I have a strong understanding of how to generate a holistic suite of assets through a multi-channel approach; how they all work together to be part of the same story.

I also hold an O1 visa, to be able to work in the USA.

I also work in charity and philanthropy with clients such as: Samaritans, Action For Children, Oracabessa Foundation in Jamaica, & Cancer Research UK,

Previous clients include brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Ferrari, Ducati, Caravana, Ugg, Sony, Ellesse, Net A Porter, Nicholas Kirkwood, Aromaria, Pepe Jeans, Wella, Fragrance Group London.

Experience
  • Unread Productions Ltd
    Creative Consultant, Photographer & Branded Content Director
    July 2002 - Today (22 years and 4 months)
    United, Toledo, OH, USA
    Editorially, my work has been featured in HARPER'S BAZAAR, ELLE, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH STELLA MAGAZINE, BRITISH VOGUE, MARIE CLAIRE, SUNDAY TIMES STYLE, CLASH, JOCKS & NERDS, PLAYBOY, STERN and SCHON. Brands I've worked with include THE OUTNET, UGG, NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD SHOES, WHISTLES, TIMBERLAND, MYLA LINGERIE, ELLESSE, ESPRIT, AMAZON FASHION, AMERICAN EXPRESS, BRAUN, P&G BEAUTY, WELLA PROFESSIONALS, VIDAL SASSOON, HERBAL ESSENCES to name a few. ABOUT ME: I am a photographer and branded content director specializing in fashion, beauty, music & lifestyle based between the US & UK primarily. I can provide creative counsel to brands on their short and long-form content outputs - from social media shoots and ATL campaigns to BTL PR shoots - I offer a full suite of services in this space, globally. EXPERIENCE: My experience includes four years shooting backstage at all the major fashion shows in Paris, New York, Milan, and London for Catwalking.com & The International Herald Tribune, for Fashion Editor and Journalist, Suzy Menkes, shooting backstage at all the major fashion houses as one of only six photographers with official access. BACKGROUND: Studying at Central St. Martin's College with a passion for life drawing and portraits, I began taking photos of subjects for reference. As my fascination with this artform shifted, I pursued a newfound love for photography at the London College of Fashion then assisted the likes of Rankin, Nick Knight, & Clive Arrowsmith. WIDER CREATIVE SERVICES: I work with clients' in-house or preferred studios and production agencies, but I also offer up these services through my production arm (Unread Productions) as needed. From offering counsel on the creative brief based on my 18 years of industry experience, image capturing, casting, storyboarding, location hunting or grooming elements, it allows me to tell the best story possible and I can be involved at the required stages - I adopt a plug & play mentality.

    For the second year, I worked on the Samaritans 'Brew Monday' campaign, creating a video around 'the domino effect' of mental health, and how sitting down with someone over a cup of tea and talking can help people going through a hard time emotionally. With appearances from multiple celebrities the video was a great project to work on.
