At 21, Richard is both a bodybuilder and a sports student. Initially, he trained as a sprinter but had to give it up after tearing his leg muscles multiple times. Nowadays, Richard’s life is simple: he works, eats, and sleeps.
Every time I’d call him up, he’d still be in bed. And when we hung out, he’d be wolfing down a chicken breast.
Richard is incredibly upbeat and friendly; we hit it off instantly. He’d previously been photographed nude by another photographer, so this wasn’t his first rodeo. However, it was the first time I’d shot someone with prior experience in such sessions.
For our initial photo shoot, we took advantage of a lovely April afternoon to embark on an urban exploration, capturing candid, unclad moments amidst nature.
