Richard has been a stalwart on our Wild Great Britain series for Channel 5. Always enthusiastic, always good-humoured, and always striving to produce top quality footage even on a tight schedule. He is versatile, filming equally well handheld, long lens and with his drone. He gets on well with contributors. He is a good team player, but also willing to work on his own. He can film wildlife and people. Coming from an editing background he has a good feel for sequence building. Many of his sequences are standouts in our series. I look forward to working with Richard again in the future and don't hesitate to recommend him.
Richard is great.
Really good shooter with a ton of imagination to make a simple scene stand out from the rest.
Got a mega thumbs up from the presenter he worked with who claimed he'd never felt so safe and included on a project before.
Richard is on my speed dial - so act fast if you want him
From cows jumping for joy, rioting piglets and a ram with an identity crisis, Richard captured beautiful imagery of farm animals. His patience and anticipation was often rewarded with fascinating animal behaviour. Above all its Richard’s incredible versatility that makes him such an asset. He is also a brilliant drone operator, location director, set designer and editor. He’s also a top bloke - highly recommended!
