About Rico

I’m an L.A. based Fashion, Beauty and Portrait Photographer with a passion for travel, music and storytelling. Producing new work, exploring new themes and pushing creative boundaries is both viscerally fulfilling as well as an integral aspect of my creative process.

I made Production Paradise's short list of top 10 Fashion Photographers in 2022.

Assisting world renowned photographers such as Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Patrick Demarchelier, Gilles Bensimon, Steven Meisel and Matthew Ralston was an invaluable experience which continues to serve me well with each new project.

Below is a partial list of publications that have featured my work: French Elle, Vigour, Lenore, Genlux, Flawless, WWD and L.A. Sunday Times Magazine. Additionally, my work was chosen by the Louvre as part of a collective retrospect of Fashion Photography from around the world.

Collaborating with creatives, brainstorming on concepts and finding unique solutions that ensure mutual success is a key component of our business model. Producing strong, bold and unique work for clients is not only our business, it’s our passion!
