Hi I'm Rick. I started RTSY Visuals several years ago. I was in Costco and bought my first Canon DSLR. It sat in the box for a year as I was scared of all the buttons and settings. I took a series of courses at my local Visual Arts School and learned the exposure triangle, lighting and other techniques.
My daytime job is stressful and corporate. Being one of those ' out of the box' thinkers my job was crushing my spirit. Photography gives me a creative outlet. I enjoy collaborating with people that have wierd and odd ideas. The people that reach out to me want to do something different than the typical boudoir and lingerie shoots. I have developed my unique style from the quirky concepts of my collaborators and my own love of the unusual.
I have recently started working more with the kink community. They are more open to creating freaky and avant-garde images. Suspended from the ceiling with rope, wrapped in chains, bloody wedding dress in a shower, making a banana split all have been created with kinky folks. Those sessions were super fun to shoot. I love doing something different and collaborating with interesting people.
If you're looking for a judgement free creative session, I'm the artsy photographer to contact!
