Richard's longstanding career with the digital image began in the mid 1990's. His first major appointment was in 1998 at Shepperton Studios as lead 3d artist on the feature film 'Lost In Space'. From there he joined 'Red Post Production' in London working on a variety of television projects from commercials and promos to long form. He quickly established himself as a project supervisor with a strong ability to design and creatively steer more open-ended briefs. In 1998 his work on BBC1's ambitious 'The Humanbody' was instrumental in earning the series a BAFTA award for graphic design.

In 2000 Richard joined Soho's Moving Picture Company where he was able to progress into feature films. Credits include Sequence Supervisor on 'The World is Not Enough', 'Dust', 'The Miracle Maker', 'Entrapment' and 'Tomb Raider'. In 2001 his ground breaking work as VFX supervisor on channel 4's 'Body Story 2' sharply raised the profile of the 3d department, won awards worldwide and was selected to open the Siggraph CGI festival in Los Angeles later that year.

Richard's natural ability to design from a blank page and bring a compelling vision to a project, led directly to a string of award winning appointments over the next few years including VFX supervisor on 'How to Build a Human' at BBC specialist factual, 'DNA Story' at the Mill facility London, and CG Director on Gerry Andersons 'New Captain Scarlet'.

In 2006 Richard returned to the Moving Picture Company to focus specifically on photoreal projects. Notable credits include 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire', 'Sunshine' and 'Posiedon'. He also undertook lead and supervisory roles on various prestigious TV projects from Ford, T mobile, Littlewoods, BBC Arabic, ITN News at 10, Kellogs and Audi.

In 2007 the natural path was for Richard to move into directing commercials. His directorial debut, 'Planet You' was made for Yakult Worldwide through Euro RSCG London. This career progression also afforded Richard the space to develop his lifelong passion for photography. In the same year he had work exhibited at Tate Britain's 'How we are now' and pictures employed by Leica Camera AG to market their M camera system.

In 2008 he fulfilled a longstanding ambition to combine photography, video, the power of digital effects and his lifelong love affair with the Automobile to form Parabolique. Three years on and Richard now enjoys working with a diverse range of commercial and editorial clients creating imagery with as much passion and dedication as ever before.

NOTABLE APPOINTMENTS

2008-present

From Parabolique's launch in 2008 Richard very quickly shot for a wide range of editorial clients. In 2009 he undertook video projects for major car manufacturers and then in 2010 was commisioned for his first large scale commercial campaign. Later that year, he was snapped up by production company 'Jamie Stephen Represents' for both photography and video.
