2025 Updates

After several months of ill health I am pleased to say that my photography is back on track with many exciting new updates. Firstly 2025 marks the 20th anniversary of my photography career, having started as a teenager in 2005. To celebrate this there will be a variety of new ideas, projects and features released this year with more news to come soon.

After some delay, my debut book The Beauty of Britain Volume I Northern England is now on its way with it currently being in the proof copying stage. Pre orders are open, if you would like to learn more please contact me using the contact box on my website.

In other news, part of my work I fit alongside my photography is as a musician and producer specialising in ambient and electronic soundtrack work. This year I am lucky enough to be blending my photography and my music work to collaborate with my good friend Todd Harris Jr who is currently working on releasing his first novel and audio book. To go alongside this I am working on a soundtrack to complement several chapter readings by Todd due to be released this spring.

As always new photographs are being added so please keep checking back and for more regular updates please join me on Facebook and Instagram @richardbyersphotography for more!

Album Artwork Commission

This month I completed a commission for a very talented electronic music producer named In Vitro. Alongside In Vitro’s nine musical tracks are nine never seen before photographs of my own that I felt perfectly accompanied his music. ‘Deriva Adentro’ is due to be released soon, more information to follow.
