About Brigsie
Hi, I’m Richard Briggs, a Commercial and Fine Art Photographer based in Marlborough, New Zealand. I’m known as Brigsie by most of my clients.
I have a small studio, I love portraiture and food photography in equal measure and I’m really good at showcasing your business or product with professional quality photos that speak the story you need to tell. I shoot 8 weddings each year (see below) for lovely people and I work commercially for many of the Marlborough’s leading businesses, Marketing Executives, Magazines and Publications.
I’m a husband, a proud father to two amazing young men who make me very proud and an ex marketing executive from London. I have twenty years of commercial photography experience and I love people almost as much as I love the landscape, of the beautiful region I live in.
I owned my first Nikon camera (F) aged 8 and have lived my entire life with a camera either in my hand or in my bag.
I work predominantly in commercial, portrait, studio product and food photography, with many of Marlborough’s businesses and families and I also love Landscape and Fine Art Portraiture work.
I’m known for my professionalism, my friendly approach, and the quality of my work . . . delivered promptly. I’m well priced, regionally trusted to deliver a great product and I’m well connected.
