Testimonials
First Focus Photography has worked with some great clients and models over the years and here is what they have to say about there experience working with photographer Rick Taylor:
Rick was an absolute pleasure to work with,he is a very gifted photographer with a fine eye. He is professional, focused, easy going and very friendly as well. Prior to working with him I had seen his work and was really impressed.His work is outstanding and very different from what other photographers are doing which is what i love about Rick’s work.
You can immediately sense the passion that he has for photography with the way he takes full interest in deciding the backdrop,directing the model and everything else that plays a very crucial role in getting an impeccable shot.he has thorough knowledge about what hes doing and knows exactly what he wants. he makes sure he captures your best angles and makes you see yourself in a way that you had never seen yourself before.
He doesn’t take his work merely as work but treats it more like his passion which is a trait that a model or a client wishes for a photographer to have.
Sometimes i wish all the photographers were like him due to his self assurance and the way he makes you feel utterly comfortable which brings out the best of you.I have my portfolio filled with work by several photographers but i have to admit that as compared to all those shoots.The work that I’ve done with Rick is remarkably conspicuous and striking indeed.Rick is everything you could possibly want in a photographer for any occasion.
I would highly recommend Rick to any one who is looking for a highly polished,exquisitely styled photographs of the couture scene all of which carry a surreal air of nonchalance.Hira Shah ; Model, presenter & former Big Brother Housemate
I went in to my photo shoot with trepidation, I am not a professional model and wasn’t sure what to expect. Rick made me feel completely comfortable and helped me to unleash my inner Zoolander! I had a great time shooting with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone needing any type of photography!!

I found Rick fun, encouraging and comfortable to work with. He makes a person feel totally safe in front of the camera with his relaxed yet professional attitude. Finally, he is exceptionally dedicated, working through the night until that one shot in 300 is chosen, a virtue to be admired.

Thanks very much for your work. We’re really impressed with the wedding photos, they look excellent. We had a great day and your relaxed and creative approach allowed us to enjoy it even more. It was fun and a pleasure working with you on a few other occasions too, I will certainly recommend you to anyone getting married or wanting to update their portfolio.
Thanks again and good luck!

As you can see by his amazing work, Rick Taylor is a very talented photographer. As I have had the honor of getting to work with him, I can say with utter honesty that he is an all round outstanding guy. He is a professional, who makes you feel comfortable at the same time.

I have worked with Rick in a number of capacities, both in the studio and as a live performer. I have been performing and working with various photographers over the past four years and Rick is one of the best live photographers I have ever worked with. His depth of experience means he understands how to optimise the technology he uses in his art, from his chosen camera, to post-production programmes particularly photoshop, while his background in fine art has contributed to his keen eye for composition, lighting and movement. He is creative and professional, an enthusiastic collaborator and a highly skilled photographer.
