He began his photographic career in college as a freelance photographer for Pittsburgh newspapers.  After graduation, photography remained a hobby during his 20-year career in retail, and in 1984, Rich opened a custom framing and fine art gallery.  His current shop, Imagine It Framed, recently had the honor of being designated as one of “America’s Top 100” custom framers by Décor Magazine. 

While attending professional photography seminars in New York City, Rich shared his photographs with well-known professionals who encouraged him to show his work.  This led to several exhibits in the region.  Currently, his work is in private and public collections all over the world.  His images hang in public corporations and private foundations from San Diego to Boston and in homes from the Americas to the Far East.  He began shooting digitally in the late 90’s and since 2001 has worked almost exclusively in that format. 

The beauty of the Farmington Valley, where Rich lives with his wife and five daughters, and the excitement of New York, his previous home, are the sources of most of his photography.  Travels and workshops throughout the country have added to his collection of images.  Everything from the rich colors and broad landscapes of the southwest, to street studies in the Little Havana section of Miami have been captured by his lens.
