Hi, I am Richard Boyce. Let me say thank you, firstly, for viewing my website and taking the time to find out about the person behind the lens. I am a Barbados-based photographer, who shoots sports, athletic and fitness portraits throughout the Caribbean.

​

I’ve lifted weights for most of my life and have made friends with many pro and aspiring athletes through the gym.   I have always loved fitness and the ability to push the body to achieve what appear to be super-human feats of strength, elegance and beauty through hard work and determination.

​

I had my first real taste of photography while at secondary school and my love for photography was rekindled while I was at university studying engineering, another love of mine.

​

The switch from engineer to photographer may not seem straightforward – the structured limitations of physics versus the limitless expanse of the world of art. But, for me, the similarities and transferable skills are many. Painting with numbers in engineering makes for an easy conversion to the angles, refractions, aperture and shutter speeds of photography.

​

My combination of interests has also led me to create RETRO-FIT, a Caribbean sports and fitness magazine., of which I am the editor-in-chief, lead photographer and graphic designer.
