About Rick

My father, an Air Force photographer, handed me one of his professional cameras when I was eleven.

I opened my own studio in Omaha in 1985, earned my Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman degrees, and built an 8,000-square-foot studio in 1992. In 1995 I took it from film to digital, one of the first portrait studios in the world to do so. Kodak then sent me to teach studios in more than 35 states, Canada and Mexico how to make the same move.

In September 2000, Eastman Kodak commissioned me to photograph the presidents, kings and leaders of 189 countries at the United Nations Millennium Summit.

Today I live in Winter Garden, Florida, and photograph sports, events, businesses, families and seniors across West Orange County.
