Friends and Inspirations of my photography journey Episode 2

Friends and Inspirations of my photography journey Episode 2

Hello Everyone!

Today I am going to have a brief chat of another one of my colleagues whom I am grateful to call my friend. As per episode 1 with Hannes, I met Richard in Venice during a PhotoSerge shoot. Richard hails from Maidenhead England. We hit it off almost immediately! We surprisingly have a lot in common in our interests not only in photography but in life in general. Richard is a Naval Officer serving with the Royal Navy Sea Cadets Corps. We are both very interested in history and military memorabilia. Since our shoot in Italy in 2017 we have remained good friends and Richard is yet another true inspiration to me in his photographic works. It is such a pleasure to meet and shoot with such amazing people. Please have a look at his amazing work and check out his social media platforms. As always I recommend following and commenting on their works as they do work very hard at mastering their craft. Richard has gone to France and Italy a few times and has had the thrill and pleasure to go to the Antarctica. Without further ado I introduce you to my colleague and friend Richard O’Keeffe.
