Richard Mountney

Richard Mountney is an award winning professional advertising photographer specialising in still life drinks and liquids with more than 30 years experience. In his spare time, Richard loves to experiment with abstract still life concepts. Richard's attention to detail and an adept understanding of light manipulation gives his imagery a refined and polished quality.

Not all photographers ‘fell into’ photography. Richard is one of a rare breed who always wanted to be one, and has been shooting ever since he left art school. Brought up in the good old days of clunky 10×8 cameras and dangerous chemicals, Richard now rejoices in the new digital era. Shooting layer upon layer to achieve the perfect result, and not a smelly polaroid in sight. However, there is one thing Richard laments… the long lunches waiting for the film to come back from the lab!

Richard has been awarded many awards from a Gold Clio, two Cannes Lions, an EPICA and Campaign Press Awards.
