Richard Heeps is a contemporary British photographer based in Cambridge. His unmistakable saturated style eschews digital manipulation and pushes the boundaries of photography. Richard Heeps' art is a true love letter to the art of photography and the carefree American lifestyle. Heeps' photographs feature a seductive color palette and relaxed subject matter. Heeps speaks of his fascination with America: "The speed, the lifestyle and the technicolor are reflected in my images. The 'American' color is an important aspect in my work, it drives my equipment and material choices." We love how Heeps is determined to create a portfolio of art that connects with his contemporary audience while embracing the traditional methods of lens-based photography. Heeps studied at Cambridge University and gained an apprenticeship in Mechanical Engineering, before completing two further qualifications in Photography and Film. Prior to his formal education, Heeps had a long-standing interest in art, painting and photography, having shown his early work in exhibitions from the age of ten. The artist's fascination with New York during his youth was the starting point for his fixation with all things American, a fascination that was only accentuated by his visits to the country later in life. Heeps has been exhibiting his work since the 1980s, and since then he has continued to grow, exhibiting internationally in museums and public galleries such as the Affordable Art Fair in Milan, The Photographer's Gallery in London, and the Royal Academy of Art's summer exhibition.
