Personal information

Richard has been photographing since he was eight years old, and when he was twelve he bought his first analogue SLR camera and started to capture nature. First he shot birds, and later he added landscapes and mammals.

Especially the first and last few hours of daylight are his favourite hours, especially when you can capture the special behaviour of animals and/or have special light and beautiful clouds in landscapes. Richard prefers to wait for a long time near an animal or place for the right light for a unique photo, then to settle for a quick 'snapshot' and move on to the next subject.

During his many travels around the world, he has visited both the tropical Amazon rainforest and the polar region. And it is precisely the polar region in autumn that is his favourite.

Richard gives photography lectures; he organises photo trips, and he gives photography workshops for animal and landscape photography in Europe.

As a photographer, I am always looking for ways to improve my images. That's why I regularly compare different brands and products. When experimenting with filters, I discovered that some brands give better results than others, especially at long shutter speeds.

I found that glass filters generally produce sharper and more beautiful images than filters made of synthetic resin (resin). Glass filters are not only more durable, but also less prone to scratching and easier to clean.

It is important to pay attention to brands that respond quickly to new developments in the market, such as the release of special lenses. Moreover, I appreciate manufacturers who listen to photographers' wishes when developing new products. This ensures that the tools we use are increasingly in tune with our needs as professionals.
