About Richard

Born in Norfolk Virginia in 1946, Moved from Virginia Beach 20 years ago to the Tampa area. I have Three adult "KIDS" , Three Granddaughters and the greatest wife of 43 years

I Began Photography in 1976 loving to shoot landscapes and bridges: 27 years ago got more interested photographing women and 20 years ago fell in love with Studio photography. I was shooting mostly model portfolios at that time. Then about 8 years ago discovered how great it is to take women who were not models and find the lighting and angles to make them see them selves as sexy and beautiful. I found I got a super high from watching women see them selves as beautiful in some cases for the first time.

I believe that women are one of GODS greatest creations and all have beauty. I enjoy shooting women over 18 to any age, any shape or weight. The bigger the challenge the bigger the reward for my ego and theirs. I am not gay and unfortunately not perfect but I do pride myself with my professionalism and ability to make women comfortable during and after the shoot. I also feel a responsibility to husbands and lovers and I know women are not there to look sexy for me. I will never intentionally do anything to hurt any of my customers and models. I never do porno or anything to do with porno sites. I do believe in consenting adults but Photography is my art so I will not do the porno.

My formal training was at Tidewater Community college in Virginia Beach and USF in Tampa. I have been involved in Three Photography Clubs and many photography workshops. Including Professional  magazine photographers workshop. I also have used a 200 plus book personal library.          Thanks! Richard
