"My photography is a celebration of the visual world. It all comes back to landscape. I can be inspired by satellite images, torn posters, decayed walls, even junkyards. Even when my subject isn't landscape, I see the essence of landscape. I'm drawn to organic colors: ochres, worn-down colors and the patina of age I find in Italy and Cuba. I love the quality of light in Italy, too. Light helps me express emotion in an image."

Richard shares his enthusiasm, creative vision and passion through workshops in photography and visual design, in Canada and around the world. His images have been published in Camera Canada, Photo Digest, Photo Selection, Photo Life, Best of Photography, Wood/Le Bois and Canadian Interiors. Recently, he collaborated with jazz musician Jane Bunnett on a documentary project exploring the music of Cuba.
