This image was chosen to be the front cover of Richard's 2007 book 'Man's Ruin'. The now sold out book is a compilation of Drag Racing, Burlesque, Rockabilly Culture and Americana, photographed over seven years. The 'Man's Ruin' exhibition toured in over twenty museums and galleries in the UK & Europe. This artwork features Bonanza Café, a classic American Diner in Lone Pine on a Californian road trip.
Richard Heeps' seductive, highly saturated colours and sophisticated pictorial structures demonstrate a true love and empathy for his subject matter - be it cool descriptive interiors, still life or landscape. His distinctive style pushes the limits of photography.
"I am a film-based photographer, I use a range of vintage analogue cameras. I consider myself to have three studios, the external studio of whichever location I may be shooting, my darkroom where I make my master prints and my home studio where I do the postproduction where the artworks are mounted, framed and finished. I have always wanted my work to be accessible without compromising on quality and making everything in house I am in control of each step to achieve that."
