Has a huge camera obscura
Images of people appear sterile, almost awkward

A few years ago I was fortunate to meet Richard at his London studio. In this fairly small, cramped space Richard is able not just to make the images but to print them on a seriously large piece of equipment. I can appreciate what you say but when you see one of his prints in person, you get a completely different perspective. He's an unusual talent, particularly so for one from the UK

Thx for posting the links

I did say they are sterile and awkward, but I do love them. And I certainly appreciate the work one would need to create them traditionally. I would have been honored to visit his studio. That must have been such a treat.
