About Me

NEW LOOK, NEW DIRECTION, BUT SAME GOAL:
To provide models with ultra quality images that that will mutually enhance our respective portfolios.

Welcome, my name is Richard Crosthwaite and I am proud to showcase my new look portfolio featuring all of my original work shot between the time I entered the photography world in August of 2008 to going VIP in August 2009.  Please read below for what has changed over the course of my freshman year as a photographer:

EQUIPMENT:
The most important lesson I learned is that to be the best, you have to shoot with only the best equipment. That said, I literally purchased all new gear, starting with my 15.1 megapixel Canon T1i and L-Series Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L glass. For outside lighting, I purchased two Canon Speedlite 580 EX II flashes and a set of three strobe lights for studio work. All PostProc work is done on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 using a MacBook Pro.

MAKE-UP ARTIST:
Perhaps the most visible aspect of any shoot, is the quality of the make-up and appearance of the model in her pictures. I have learned that a great MUA is an invaluable asset to any shoot therefore, I am proud to announce my association with Hilda Pinedo (MM# 1234755) as my MUA of choice for most shoots.

STUDIO:
As a photographer, I feel it is important to be equally at ease shooting on location or in a studio. For me, my biggest lessons about lighting and capturing excellence, came under the tutelage of Bill Schutt and his wife, Shirley at SMASH Studios in Long Beach (MM# 138152). Therefore, the majority of my studio work occurs there, as it is an incredible environment to shoot in.

ABOUT ME:
Oh, yeah, forgot about that part. Based on what models have told me about their experiences in working with me, I would say I am fun, energetic, driven and very eager to collectively capture great images with my models. I love to collaborate, I love what I do, and I love having fun doing it, so if you are a likeminded female, than we will capture incredible pictures.

im a local model from long beach,ca

and i checked out your work on y our page and im seriously in love with it and i hope your work prosper in ways that you have never even imagined.

but there is a reason that i messaged ya today. its more of a favor cause i see that you are so talented and that i would really appretiate it.

i was wondering if you can do a t.f shoot at this event im doing which is for my fare wells. im leaving califonia going to chicago cause i have a child being born out there and want to make sure that my child feels the love of his father even if i have to go out there when i dont have nothing

and it will be truly an honor if you can do a photoshoot for me. the last time out here in this area. with me and my friends. and alot of them are models, so its a place that you can network and also there will be food and you can have as much as you want

its going to be at bolsa chica state beach on the 3rd of august, and when the fire is lit we will be doing open mic poetry and not only will u be a photographer we will treat you like family... so if you think you can do it please let me know and if you cant let me know... i thank you anyways and keep up the great work
