Richard has been a photographer since the late 70s, and until enrolling for Sunderland University's MA in Photography in 2007 was largely self-taught. He has a background in construction engineering which has informed his most recent body of work, 'Lost Waltz', but photographically has eclectic tastes and is essentially a portrait and documentary photographer.

He began exhibiting in 2003, and has since shown work in solo and group exhibitions in England and France. His most recent show was 'Sight Unseen', the Sunderland University MA in Photography 2009 graduate show at the Northern Gallery for Contemporary Art.
