Glamour, Fashion and Boudoir Photographer living in the San Antonio Texas area.

Retired 30+ year army veteran, Private to Master Sergeant and Second Lieutenant to Captain. 82nd Airborne Division: Infantry Paratrooper and Pathfinder Team Leader.  Special Forces: Light Weapons & Medical Sergeant, S.E.R.E. Instructor (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape), Combat Diver and Dive Medical Technician.  Physician Associate (PA) / Battalion Surgeon. NAUI Technical: Closed Circuit Rebreather and Open Circuit diving instructor.  I have had the joy to live, visit, serve or be stationed in 68 countries or territories and continue to explore our world.

My love of photography, like it is for so many photographers, developed at a young age as I studied it in school.  That love was put on hold for most of my 30 years of military service, and it was not until after retirement that I was able to leave one love for another, photography.

As a retiree and while working aboard a research vessel as a diving, medical, and security officer, I also tried my hand at filming underwater video, going on to follow my dream of becoming a woman's photographer.

I really love shooting on location, most often lighting with studio strobes and light modifiers to capture the richness of the set and to create the desired look.  But even more so I love working with a client, seeing her excitement and joy when she is connected her to her glamour.

Each year I make several trips abroad to shoot and work with talented Models, Hair and Makeup Artists.  All of whom I am supremely thankful to for the art they have helped me to create. 

I am humbled and inspired by the incredible photo artists who's work I get to view daily, and strive every day to expand my skills.

Love life enough to be adventurous, love your country enough to travel, grow and become a better person. Open your mind and heart, travel and know the joy of becoming a citizen of the world.
One's life can be comprised of many things...perhaps the most important of which is learning and growing.
                                                                                     
Best wishes,

Richard
