# Richard Olpin Photography
Richard Olpin LRPS is a Gloucestershire-based professional photographer and specialist tutor who combines commercial work with comprehensive photographic education. His portfolio demonstrates considerable range—from architectural and landscape photography of local landmarks like the Severn Bridge and Castle Combe, to wildlife, portraiture and travel photography spanning Prague to Africa.
The business serves two distinct markets. Commercial clients commission bespoke photography for corporate branding, events and publications, with testimonials highlighting both technical excellence and creative vision. His educational offering attracts photography enthusiasts from complete beginners to advanced practitioners seeking formal qualification pathways.
What distinguishes Richard is his accreditation as an LRPS (Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society) combined with a proven track record developing students to RPS distinction level through his structured 12-month Masterclass programme. His teaching extends beyond photography into associated software skills and retouching. Rather than generic group classes, he emphasises personalised mentoring, offering seasonal discounts on one-to-one training days between November and March to encourage continued learning.
The website showcases exceptional image quality across diverse genres, while client testimonials emphasise both technical brilliance and creative imagination—suggesting Richard positions himself as an educator who genuinely develops photographer capability rather than simply delivering service.
