It’s about time I introduced myself properly. My name’s Rich.

When I say conceived in 2012, what I mean by that is that this was the year my dad gave me my first camera. A little Sony Cybershot. But my interest in photography had been subconsciously building I guess from the day I was born. My dad always had a camera on him, not for artistic purposes, but to capture our life as a family growing up in the 90’s. After holidays he would get his films developed and we would sit around the dining table to look through what had been snapped. I don’t know, that excitement of seeing those moments frozen in time stuck with me I guess.

But back to 2012. Now armed with my very own camera, I was snapping everything. Flowers, bees, cars, landscapes, friends you name it. But it wasn’t until a chance moment on a family holiday in Turkey that I started to really think about things like subject, composition, framing in more detail. The sun was setting over the sea, and paragliders were landing on the beach. They became perfect silhouettes as they passed across the sun. I took a shot, looked at the screen and thought, s**t, now that’s a good photo.

Since that holiday, photography has been a huge part of my life. I’ve captured
everyone and everything in it. From shots of travelling the world to shots of me and my friends doing ridiculous things on mountain bikes, to pictures of my dog and now my daughter. I’ve had this constant obsession with photographing the world around me. Because if you look closely, my god is it beautiful!

In 2021 after a successful career in sales and business development, I decided that it was time to take this love to the next level. I quit my job and have since poured my heart in to this craft. Over the years as the digital landscape has changed I taught myself the art of motion video, which is now what 90% of mine and the teams projects are based on. Oh and yes the team, as requirements have gotten bigger, I’ve found a trusted crew that work alongside me flying the Visually Rich flag.

This job has taken me around Europe, all across the UK and as far as Nigeria and Tanzania. I’ve worked with some incredible people, some amazingly interesting local businesses and then on to pinch me moments working with global brands.

The main point of this story is that yes this is my job, but it has, and always will be, my life long passion. So, if you want to work with someone who genuinely gives a s**t about what they do, get in touch!
