Richard Braine was a commercial photographer in his professional life but like all great photographers he lived and breathed taking pictures and was never without a camera by his side. He lived in Hammersmith, West London and this area became his stomping ground. His professional work dealt with catching the precise moment on camera for a picture to enhance an advertising campaign. Whatever that be the look of a car driving in the sea on a stormy day or a lovers’ encounter in a restaurant in Paris. His commercial work reflected his personal passion for reportage and his ability to find beauty in ordinary life in the rougher parts of town.
