I am a photographer and branded content director specializing in fashion, beauty, music & lifestyle based between the US & UK primarily. I can provide creative counsel to brands on their short and long-form content outputs - from social media shoots and ATL campaigns to BTL PR shoots - I offer a full suite of services in this space, globally. Editorially, my work has been featured in US VOGUE, HARPER'S BAZAAR, ELLE, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH STELLA MAGAZINE, BRITISH VOGUE, MARIE CLAIRE, SUNDAY TIMES STYLE, CLASH, JOCKS & NERDS, PLAYBOY, STERN and SCHON. I think of my process, in both the stills and moving images I make, as a story of creation. For me, photography and film are about embracing all subject matter. Brands I've worked with include THE OUTNET, UGG, NICHOLAS KIRKWOOD SHOES, WHISTLES, TIMBERLAND, MYLA LINGERIE, ELLESSE, ESPRIT, AMAZON FASHION, AMERICAN EXPRESS, BRAUN, P&G BEAUTY, WELLA PROFESSIONALS, VIDAL SASSOON, HERBAL ESSENCES to name a few. What I see through the lens is an image whether the genre is fashion, music, lifestyle, stills or film. It’s about bringing energy to each shoot; building a joyful, productive interaction between the client, the subject, the creative team, and the camera lens. A shoot team should be a coalition and I apply that thought process throughout the variety of images and themes my work encompasses. Compelling light, energy and imbuing my subjects with their own power, that’s the aim and theme that ties what I do into a collection of work that reflects my personal photographic style: From shooting menswear on indie rock stars, reportage style women’s editorial, music videos and content for a growing catalog of indie bands, strong commercial beauty and lifestyle projects or travel images for niche motorcycle brands who tune in to my other great passion, bikes.If you have a brief, looking for creative counsel or a shoot, please contact me at richard@richardstow.com / +1 (323) 975 6886 / +44 7855 827758 for a chat.www.richardstow.com
