About Rich

Rich's love for photography came at an early age but really set in when he had to give up his beloved skating/snowboarding after breaking both legs within weeks of each other (ask him about it-funny story) and found himself with his camera on the sidelines.
Rich has been shooting for over 20 years and his photography has taken him around the globe many times over (although after 13 trips to Paris, he has yet to get to the top of the Eiffel tower-another great story, he will tell you this one as well). He has shot with many extreme athletes, musicians and well known public figures.
Rich loves people. He loves meeting new people and having lots of great conversations with old and new friends. He loves to read-to study, to observe people. He is an extremely social person and it makes perfect sense for him to have the camera as an extension of his personality.  His photojournalistic style and skill at anticipating moments helps him create and capture images that others don't always see.
Rich's work has been featured in many publications throughout the years. He has worked with many local and world renowned bands. He has toured with The Killers, Transfer, The White Lies, Foo Fighters,Editors, Louis XIV, Unbroken, The Silent Comedy and too many more to mention. When you meet Rich in person, ask him about his adventures. Each photo has an entertaining story behind it...
