Links to the Industry

Richard has been involved in the photographic industry and during his term as president was instrumental in the recent merger of the ACMP and AIPP photographic associations. The AIPP is the peak photographic industry body, now joined with the leading commercial division, the ACMP, together they are committed to developing excellence in imaging and professional photography.

 

Brief History

Richard’s career began as a passionate hobby at the age of 13. Using a Russian made Zenit 35mm camera he started capturing images in a unique and creative way. Thirty years later his love for image making has evolved into a successful commercial studio based in Sydney Australia.

Richard completed 3 years of full time study at Pretoria Technikon, South Africa, graduating with Distinction and receiving the National Best Student of the Year Award. He completed his thesis on a documentary of Marabastad, South Africa’s First Township exhibiting 150 images and directing a 20 minute documentary film shot on 16mm.

After a 4-year apprenticeship, Richard opened his own studio in Johannesburg, and the following year exhibited a series of Dye Transfer Impressions at Paper Place Gallery. The exhibition was supported by Polaroid and printed using Arches Aquarelle Paper. Richard immigrated to Australia in 1995 and has been working as a commercial photographer to date.
