So let’s switch to first tense. Hi, my name is Rich Phillips… Visually Rich.
When I say conceived in 2013, what I mean is that this was the year I
was given my first camera. An old Sony Cybershot. I’d photograph
everything, from friends and family, to bees in the garden.

It wasn’t until a chance moment on a family holiday in Turkey that I
started to really think about the subject, composition and lighting in
my frame. The sun was setting over the sea, and paragliders were
landing on the beach. They became a perfect silhouette as they
passed in front of the sun. I cranked up the shutter speed, got close
to the ground to create some foreground, then when the next
paraglider passed by, I took my shot. I looked at the screen and thought,
now that’s how you take a photo.

Since then, photography has been a huge part of my life. I’ve captured
everyone and everything in it. From shots of travelling the world to
pictures of my dog, I’ve had this constant obsession with photographing
the world around me and constantly trying to improve how I do it.

In 2021 after a 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 photography and videography. I’ve met some amazing people and worked with some amazing companies and I couldn’t be happier to be in the position I’m in. Over the last few years my business has grown massively, working with names like Citroen, Chevrolet, Air BnB, Fine & Country, Lynk & Co, Joma Sport and many more.

I’ve also formed new collaborative partners, allowing my business to handle projects of larger sizes, with the ability to handle all aspects of production. From sourcing locations and models, to managing talent and shoot direction.
