Each August in Edinburgh over the last 10 years I have had a wonderful time here in Edinburgh. Since 2009, when I came here in support of a ground-breaking show, ‘The Strong Breast Revolution’. Not quite knowing what I was going to find I dived in to the madness of the Royal Mile. I tried […]

Richard is a regular and very fine photographer for FringeReview. Here you will find his visual record of all things Fringe. Richard covers press launches, views of Edinburgh dueing the Fringe and does occasional photo shoots for fringe shows and performers.
As a fringe regular for a decade or so I’ve met many people and made a number or friends. This gives me a familiarity with the Fringe as it changes year on year. Maybe it’s because I’m an observer that tries to be relaxed and in-tune with what’s going on around me. Principally I’m here […]
Richard the photographer from ‘fringefoto’ gives a unique view of the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe After a busy week, I took some ‘time-out’ and caught the bus to Roslyn Chapel with Kate and Jo. On a sunny Tuesday afternoon we arrived early for our timed slot and were allowed in to explore the chapel and look […]
Richard the photographer from ‘fringefoto’ gives a unique view of the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe This year’s fringe is now well underway as the first weekend comes to a close.

Richard the photographer from ‘fringefoto’ gives a unique view of the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe After a long over-night drive from just outside London, I’m here in Edinburgh. Settled into my accommodation, equipment unloaded and sorted out, ready for the pre-festival rush of previews shows. First ‘FringeReview’ reviewers meeting to kick things off. I find these […]
2023 photographs – More Galleries Show Pictures Clearing the Backlog I can’t really believe how quickly the last couple of weeks have gone by as I sit at my computer updating picture galleries, reviewing and sorting photographs to upload. As you may suspect I’m drawn to visually interesting shows and I feel lucky to have […]
When I’ve had the chance I’ve taken a few pictures around the fringe, late at night and during the day. Here are a few in a slideshow. Note to self: Must get out and about more!
Final few days Friday of the last week opened to a dreary Edinburgh with rain in the air. Fortunately the rain cleared as I made my way to the final ‘FringeReview’ gathering for this year. These are one of my favourite mornings of the fringe as I am guaranteed to have a good chinwag. Today […]

40th Anniversary Festival Gala – Assembly on the Mound Gathering in the courtyard of the Mound I prepared to photograph this show. When we were allowed in they ushered us to a specially prepared space for photographers. Yes we had an unobstructed view, but I like to select my vantage point from where to photograph. […]
I’m very happy to be back at the ‘Fringe’ this August with my camera for FringeReview after a couple of years absence. Looking back Enjoyable as it is, this will be very different time for me, because my good friend, the well known fringe performer, “Lynn Ruth Miller” will never be with us again. Sadly, […]
Here are some pictures of Ian performing his show ‘Looking for Wolverhampton’s Latin Quarter’. With some delightful anecdotes from his youth as he found out about working life and the world around him, waiting to be discovered for his creative endeavours. A charming piece that brings back memories of growing up in the 70’s. Return […]
When you’re a real celebrity there must be many demands on your time, and when you’ve got something really important to say then how do you find any time at all. This was the root of the problem for Clownfish Theatre as they had booked the great man himself to present an anthology of his […]
I photographed Viviana at the Space Triplex Studio venue 38 where she performed a delightful set of songs associated with Marilyn who had captured her heart. This is a homage to her. The show finishes on the 17th so there are only a couple more opportunities to catch this. Return to Richard’s Gallery
My Photography at the fringe I know that I may get it in the neck from the professional photographers here at the fringe but I believe that in general terms a show does not need a paid photographer. There are quite a few photographers in Edinburgh during festival time and probably more than you know. […]
One of Fringe Review’s must see shows. Occasionally through the performance I found it difficult to concentrate on taking photos as Greg entertained me and the rest of the audience. Several times I had to prevent the camera shaking as he performed his poems. Giggling throughout I have to concur that it is a great […]
I must declare an interest in this theatre group, I always photograph them while I’m here, which is every two years. Seckford Theatre is part of my old school, which incidentally I left 5o years ago this year. 1969 was a wonderful year for those of you that may remember it. Travelling up from Woodbridge […]
Here are a selection of pics from ‘Mallets‘ a show at Surgeons’ Hall, Theatre 3 that I photographed on Tuesday. A delightfully light, piece of fast-paced comedy showing the underlying currents swirling around during the afternoon of an eagerly anticipated croquet match. Return to Richard’s Gallery
When I arrived on the 30th July those all around the fringe were busy, setting up, briefing the troops and all the other things necessary for this year’s fun. I wandered around watching what was happening and planning my schedule. Now I was onto the Press Launches and selecting shows to photograph. That was then […]
