Your Photographer
Rich has worked as a professional photographer for the past 30 years. He is a frequent lecturer and teacher in the area. He specializes in shooting on location for corporate, advertising and editorial uses. His work is characterized by its strong use of graphic compositions and color.
He flourishes in environments that give nightmares to other shooters. He thrives on the diversity of challenges available to the location photographer and imaginatively and efficiently exploits the unpredictable. His strongly composed images often are of people who seem to genuinely enjoy being in front of his camera. They look relaxed, natural and sincere. He has published two books, the first one was about the Unviersity of Delaware and his most recent book is titled "Philadelphia a Photographic Portfolio." Rich is a frequent contributor to articles and calenders needing photos of Philadlephia.
