Do you struggle with selfies? Do you find that your photos don't show you off at your most glamorous? Or that photos are plain, and uninspiring? Do you need a safe, relaxed environment to be you? I'm Richard, a specialist transgender and fetish photographer. I specialise in attention-grabbing, high-impact photography.
Why not contact me for a chat and to arrange a photoshoot?
We understand that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera. It's our job to put you at ease and bring out the best.
Miss Transliving 2022
Richard has photographed several transgender clients and members of the fetish community; almost all his clients return for second, sometimes third or more photoshoots. He has taken photos at trans-events, including TransRadio UK balls, Magic Theatre and Transliving weekends.
Richard is pictured with one of his best friends, Kirsty, a full-time transwoman, at a '40s night. Richard was the best man at her wedding to another trans-friend, Elfen in August 2022.
What sort of photos do you want? We're very happy to take pictures in front of a screen (Richard has several colours).
If you choose to come to Richard's studio, various locations around the house offer superb opportunities for photos with excellent backgrounds. There's a large kitchen-diner-living area, a large lounge (complete with a piano) and a luxurious ensuite bedroom. Outside is a large patio, a smaller one, and a well-kept garden. Behind the garden is a large orchard with a view across the North Downs.
If you are confident, why not consider some photos taken in surrounding areas? Richard's house is located in a rural area surrounded by farmland. The historic village of Wrotham and the commuter town of Sevenoaks are nearby and offer wonderful photography opportunities.
1. I can be selective regarding my choice of model; as I won’t require a deposit for a FREE photoshoot, I need to be assured that you are genuine and will turn up at the agreed place and time. (If I don’t know you, I may ask for a deposit, which will be refunded when you come to a shoot.) |
2. I can host at my house/studio or come to you or a neutral venue. |
3. I am happy to take fully clothed, boudoir/lingerie, fetish clothing and tasteful nude photographs. However, I do not take sexually graphic images. |
4. I no longer supply a makeup artist (as this requires payment); if you need assistance with makeup, I suggest you arrange a makeover before the shoot (I may be able to assist). |
5. I won’t be employing an assistant (as this is a paid extra), so there’ll be delays while equipment I moved, adjusted and set up or taken down. I may ask you to help with this. |
6. I may ask the model to help set up for the photo shoot and to take down, pack away and possibly clean after the shoot. |
7. Photos cannot be used for commercial purposes. |
8. The photos are supplied unbranded; however, where possible I should be credited using text such as 'Photo taken by Richard's Photography®, used by permission.' |
9. I ask that the model meets all expenses involved in the shoot; therefore, I expect that they cover my travel expenses, location hire (for example, hotel room or dungeon) and any equipment hire that is part of the shoot (such as props). |
10. The shoot is FREE, so there is no requirement to pay me for my time; however, contributions towards the costs are welcomed to help with my ongoing costs such as insurance, software subscriptions and equipment maintenance, |
11. The client may pick up to twenty images from each shoot. These are then processed to a professional standard. |
12. Photos are typically ready about 2-4 weeks after they are selected and can be downloaded from a password-protected area of my website. |
13. Extras such as prints, framed photographs and canvases are not included in the FREE offer but are available to purchase at favourable rates. |
