Born in Hampshire, UK Richard Bush studied French
literature at King's College before immersing
himself into
the world of fashion photography. He initially
begun his photographic career on the
uncompromising 10x8 format
and in December 1999 he was invited to participate
in the Creative Futures exhibition, on the
recommendation of
the renowned M&C Saatchi agency although to date
he had had no published work. Richard is self
taught and
has a profound technical understanding of
photography having followed closely the precepts
of the f64 group and
Ansel Adams zone system.
Richard began his editorial career shortly after the
exhibition shooting for the iconic i-D magazine
with stylist
Jane How, whom he collaborated for several
publications ranging from Another magazine to Self
Service. Since
those initial commissions, Richard has continued to
create powerful and arresting images, ranging from
radical
composites to luxurious beauty campaigns and
sophisticated high end editorials. His imagery is
unexpected and
challenging, uncompromising and always
unforgettable.
His advertising clients include H&M, Paco Rabanne
fragrance, Rimmel,Vichy,Yohji Yamamoto, to name
a few.
Richard currently resides in London with his wife
and collaborator, stylist Sarah Richardson.
