I’ve had a passion for photography from a young age, starting with watching my grandfather
shoot Polaroids. I photographed my first wedding when I was 16 for a prominent NHL hockey
player. After attending The Banff School of Fine Arts in Alberta, Canada, I received a B.Sci.
from The Rochester Institute of Technology School of Photography.  After my photography
education, I gained experience with a number of well-known photography companies and
operated my own studio in Scottsdale, Arizona.
My images have been displayed at
photography trade shows, on the cover of magazines, corporate headquarters. I’ve also had
articles published in leading photography periodicals. My website and this YouTube channel
are focused on helping others by teaching photography and digital darkroom techniques, with
the hope that it brings you at least as much fun and joy as photography has given me over the
years. Richard
