About Me
My Background
My name is Richard and I've loved taking pictures since hijacking my mom's simple Kodak camera in elementary school. I have been a Yuma photographer since my first job as a paper boy where I worked as an eleven year old to raise money to pay to develop my pictures. As a Yuma photographer in El Centro, Somerton, San Luis, Welton and now all of Arizona, I continue to deliver pictures instead of papers to clients of all backgrounds. I have also photographed many different subjects, scenes, and moments and love to bring my experiences back to the local Yuma photography scene.

Photography as Art
Arizona is filled with both natural beauty and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then add an artistic flair to print images one of a kind images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories.
