Much of my Figurative work is a non iteral artistic re-interpretation of iconic imagery such as Jazz, Geisha's, Harlequins and Greek Mythology. All the work is directly through the lens and the effects were created without Photoshop other digital programs.

FIGURATIVE

Richard creates abstract visions of the wonders of outer space. Who amongst us does not feel awe when we look to the stars? Richard not only imagines the vastness and beauty of space but also the most delicate intricacies of the tiniest atomic particles. His concepts are bold even encompassing fantasies of the very origins of the universe.
Stylistically his work is very distinctive. The constant use of gorgeously vivid colors, dramatic themes and ever changing textures. He deliberately challenges himself to always seek an original approach, to explore the wonders of the macro and micro world and to showcase the marvels that can be created through the medium of a camera and lens without creating effects in digital programs like Photoshop

COSMIC ART.  ABSTRACT VISIONS OF OUTER SPACE.

Whilst most photography consists of capturing the world around us Richard creates his abstract visions of the wonders of outer space. Who amongst us does not feel awe when we look to the stars? Richard not only imagines the vastness and beauty of space but also the most delicate intricacies of the tiniest atomic particles. His concepts are bold even encompassing fantasies of the very origins of the universe.
 He is self-taught, creates his images in camera and not in Photoshop and works without assistants.
