MEET

Richard

I have been involved in the transgender scene for over a decade, having first become involved on a professional basis while a serving police officer. I’m a cis-male who is a big trans-ally. I’m happy to meet transwomen one-to-one and at events. I run a high-end photography service aimed primarily at transgender clients on a semi-professional basis. I also design and build websites for the transgender community.

Running Events

I have been running events for the transgender community for several years, including the popular Bull Meals held at my local award-winning boutique hotel, The Bull Hotel, in Wrotham and hosting events at my own house in the Kent countryside.

For several years, I was heavily involved in the running of Transliving (a transgender support group), including helping to organise their weekend events, photography, website design and pride events, stepping down last year (2023).

I’ve also organised a variety of events, from firework nights, quiz nights and balls for my daughter’s school PTA (Parent Teacher Association).

Meeting Socially

I'm also delighted to meet trans ladies (and others) socially, one-to-one, or in small groups. I can provide changing facilities at my home address: we can stay here and chat or go out if someone is confident enough.

Contact Richard

Here are examples of things I enjoy doing:

meeting in cafes, pubs or bars for a drink and maybe food;
going to restaurants;
visiting museums or historical buildings;
country walks;
escorting ladies to social events.

Please contact me to meet up.

Hobbies & Interests

I love classic cars and motorsport; I have a 1971 MGB GT with an upgraded fast-road 1950cc engine (see pictures); I live very close to Brand Hatch circuit, where I am a season-ticket holder.
I love tea; I make my tea in a pot and often with leaves rather than tea bags. I also enjoy going to afternoon tea.
I enjoy an excellent glass of wine, especially red (however, I am not a wine expert; I appreciate a good bottle!).
I go to the gym three or four times a week, including working with a personal trainer.
I like to dress stylishly; I have a collection of waistcoats (often worn with a pocket watch on a chain) and jackets.
I’m learning Shibari (Japanese rope bondage) - I find it wonderful in photography.

Photography

Visit Richard's Photography

Do you struggle with selfies? Do your photos not show you off at your most glamorous and feminine? Do you need a safe, relaxed environment to be you? I am a specialist transgender photographer. I specialise in attention-grabbing, high-impact photography that shows trans-women and cross-dressers at their most beautiful.

Richard’s fabulous skills and imagination created great poses and special pictures which I will treasure. The whole day was friendly, relaxed, not rushed and I simply felt wonderful throughout.

Website Development

In addition to this site and his photography website, Richard also builds and maintains websites for the transgender and wider LGBTQ communities. Examples are:
