Richard was born and raised in NYC, the creative capital of the world, and as such he is sureIy a product of this great city. He received his formal training in Photography, Fashion & Styling from the Fashion Institute of Technology. With over two decades of experience working with the creative, editorial and business departments of a global magazine, Richard brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to each of his assignments and clients. 

When he's not shooting, Richard enjoys spending time with his son and family.  He also enjoys spending as much time as possible in the great outdoors.

"A great photograph should not only be visually appealing, but should also capture the essence of the person being photographed and authentically tell his or her story. I believe that it is equally important to understand the person standing in front of me as it is to understand the equipment I am using. I pride myself on my ability to see and capture the unique qualities of each person that I photograph." 

"I work to establish a solid relationship with all parties involved in a project, and have a full understanding of the goals of all involved. Whether it’s a business professional, actor, or someone’s child – it is my priority to understand the desired end-result of the shoot before I take the first photo."
