Richard Cooke has won many awards for his photography, including a Eurobest in 1999 and a D&AD Silver award in 2002.

He is an action and location photographer specializing in exciting and unusual images. He prefers the freedom, spontaneity and sense of reality of 35mm and, using innovative techniques, covers a wide range of subjects. Working with the Red Arrows, he pioneered the first head-on, air-to-air pictures of the team coming straight at the lens and has since developed similar techniques for stunning pictures of all the RAF fast jets, civil aircraft, cars, motor bikes and other fast-moving subjects.
