“Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up” – Pablo Picasso
"Richard is driven by creativity and especially by strong powerful visuals that have a distinctive timeless sophistication".
Although South African born, I spent 20 years of my life shooting TV Commercials out of the UK through various signed Production Companies for some of the world's largest global Advertising Agencies in London, Paris, Milan, NY, Dubia & Tokyo. As well as shooting music videos for bands and musicians such as Oasis, Macy Gray and Icelandic phenomena Sigur Ros.
6 Years ago my wife and our young children moved to Cape Town where I was signed by Johannesburg based company Picture Tree.
My experience abroad and my time in SA has provided me with ability to allow my work to translate internationally. I love versatility and I dislike the pigeonhole mentality especially in an ever changing industry like advertising and although my work is Vignette, Automotive, Fashion & Beauty based I am versatile enough to accept any genre.
