Photography for The Goldsmiths’ Company – Fred Rich

A while ago I had a lovely commission from The Goldsmiths’ Company to photograph Fred Rich, one of Britain’s most dynamic and exciting art enamellers, at work in his studio. These images can now be seen in a wonderful feature by Janice Hosegood, ‘Precious Botanicals – drawing inspiration and abstraction from the natural world‘, which you can read on the Goldsmiths’ Stories site.

Here are a few of my favourite images from the day, but do read the article to find out more about the botanic inspired work of Fred Rich, Jed Green and Anne Franke.
