Richard is a Conceptual Fashion, Portrait and Fine-Art Photographer. His background in media and design helps his overactive brain keep up with the many things he does at the same time. Add a drive for getting people to ‘stop talking and start doing’, and you’ve got Richard Terborg in a nutshell.

His experience as a multimedia engineer gives Richard the sharpened ability of finding the most creative solution to every problem. By specializing in everything the media world has to offer, he taught himself the art of multitasking several ventures at a time… and rocking them.

Immersing himself into the world of photography is no different. His growing affinity for directing, producing, casting, arranging models, building sets, collaborating with other artists, to shooting and post-production makes continuously learning and growing within his craft a force of habit. His unconventional mixture of evocative and editorial photography makes working with him an experience you take with you on all your endeavors. Not to mention his highly contagious energy that will make you feel on a caffeine high without the caffeine.

However, a camera is just a camera. The people/clients he connects with and their stories are the drive behind the popularity of his work. High engagement with every person behind the camera makes the work in front of the camera seem effortless. The core of what he does goes beyond taking a photo: he tells a story through his images by bringing people together and motivating them to collaborate and create.

Learn more about Adrian Sommeling

Adrian Sommeling looks back with a slight nostalgia. His mother is an artist and thus laid the creative foundation for his working life. As a child he sat next to her at the table. With a drawing pad in front of him, sketching the first lines to be drawn from children’s drawings and soon to be copied from Don Lawrence’s beautifully illustrated comic books. The sketchbook was no longer adequate, canvas and airbrush took their place. In high school Adrian took his first steps towards the camera and also developed his own films in an improvised darkroom upstairs.

After this school period he went to work for an advertising agency and soon started working for himself. Nevertheless, photography continued to appeal to him and after more than a decade of success in the world of advertising, he started to concentrate on photography. The photographer Adrian Sommeling was born.
