Now the owner of Lenses For Hire, the largest camera rental company in the UK, Richie spoke about his experiences in the photography world and gave advice to those looking to take their passion for photogrpahy further.

His inspiring visit gave students a unique insight into the opportunities in creative industries like photography. Welcome back to Shiplake, Richie, and a big thank you for talking to our pupils!
