Our hair is deeply conflated with our identity. For centuries, hair has had complicated connotations with our inner selves, politics, religion, and social liberation. So what happens to our ideas of ourselves when hair is not a factor? “Rubber Identity” is a series of portraits where the figure’s hair is hidden by vintage rubber swimming caps. The models are unnervingly visibly uncomfortable with the caps, when they are no longer able to affect their own character with their hair. While they are seated in classic portraiture postures, these images feel particularly vulnerable, exposed, and intimate. You get the sense that we are seeing them for exactly who they are, for perhaps the first time

Richard's passion for the arts started in his early twenties when he became an avid art collector. At the height of a successful business career, a burn-out caused Richard to reconsider what was truly important in life. His fascination with human behavior and his passion for the arts have merged into a unique creative vision, utilizing the mise en scene as his palet and the ambiguity of human behavior as his voice. Working closely with his models, Richard searches for the moment when they are ready to shed their projected self-images and show who they really are. At this moment of release, he registers their true vulnerability and openness. In order to reach this state of release and freedom, Richard lures his models out of their comfort zones with what he calls 'dramatizing elements', causing a conflict between the models' assumed identities and their true self. A process providing a continuous flow of unexpected and beautiful perspectives to capture.
