About

I was born in Scarborough, UK in 1976 and now live and work in Dublin after moving to Ireland in 2002. I achieved a distinction on a BTEC foundation course in Art & Design from The Yorkshire Coast College Scarborough and went on to gain a 2:1 Degree in Photography & video design from Bolton University, Greater Manchester, UK. After university I went on to work as a freelance photographer and as a lab manager for a retail store in Manchester as well as running my own Photographic  business. Since then I have worked in various Photographic outlets and as a Photographic services manager for a Fuji imaging outlet in Dublin, Ireland.

I was trained in the traditional methods of photography, Darkroom processing, hand printing and studio production but have embraced digital photography as my main creative output method. I am currently working on projects that combine traditional methods and digital technology in the creation of my artwork.

Alongside my artwork I take on commissioned work, such as fashion & Editorial photography, Alternate Portrait photography, modern wedding photography and contemporary portraiture.

I am available for all manor of freelance photographic assignments.

you’re welcome to contact me at any time.


First Focus Photography

My interest in photography as an art form started with my first plastic camera and a trip to the beach.

Since then, I've studied fine art and photography and now I have the privilege of working in the field full-time.

I'm passionate about portraiture and I'm keen to make your event or wedding shoot unique.

I'm based in Ireland and I'm happy to travel as necessary. I know a good deal about camera hardware and I'm always adding to my studio set-up.

Leave me a 'comment' or contact me if you need any advice.

My name's Rick; I'm a photographer.
