ABOUT RICHARD

My Story

Beginning my career as a true photojournalist, I later served in managerial roles in several international corporations but returned to Fine Art photography to regain my creative soul.

Traveling the Formula 1 circuit in the 1970s-80s, I documented the sport and its iconic racing drivers on black and white film, while searching for “decisive moments” as my hero, Henri Cartier-Bresson so often said.

I deliberately disappeared into the background as a fly-on-the-wall, capturing the intensity, heroism and melancholy with a distinctly Fine Art style that now appears more contemporary as the years pass.

My unique visual approach resulted in my Formula 1 collection featured in dozens of magazines worldwide, limited-edition print gallery offerings, a published memoir and part of many private and corporate collections of the sport's most significant images.

Significantly, the clarity and emotion of these images and my new abstract works are tied together with my signature visual stamp; reducing the subject down to its most essential and emotional qualities.

I have returned to Fine Art photography because my soul needed to slow down and appreciate the journey. 

I’ve found my new abstract work celebrates the idea that nothing is finished, perfect, or permanent. Instead, imperfections and wear are records of the natural pace of our lives and the wear and freedom that comes with it. The abstract expressionism I have discovered is the reward for my return to watching instead of anticipating.

My images reveal the intense emotional and creative bond existing between my eye, my camera and each subject’s hidden potential. I want my audience to get lost in my images’ deep color-soaked surfaces, intricate details, and complex textures accented by dramatic shadows and luminous light. I want viewers to feel they were beside me while I created images just for them.

I aim to produce work that has meaning - that is evocative, restorative and real. I search for bold images that others pass by and then simplify their details to reveal the essential structure. Be it a Traveler Palm, a Málaga wall or Miami grit, I infuse each image with drama that communicates fresh secrets and interpretations with each new viewing.

In our increasingly unpredictable lives, creating our sanctuary is vital for our long-term health. Inside these hallowed spaces and removed from the hustle of the outside world, viewers need to feel immersed in their private domain where they’re free to slow down and experience rejuvenation on their specific terms. 

My abstract compositions offer the healing power of art to help them regain focus, balance and clarity in their lives and careers. Every image is full of emotion that will stand the test of time while soothing a viewer’s heart, unburdening their soul, or nourishing their dreams.

I know that producing that quality of artistic expression and emotional fulfilment requires taking chances, being vulnerable and risking failure. My successes speak for themselves, but I cordially invite you to explore my inspiring new work in-depth to see that for yourself.
