About the presenter
Docent Rick Gayle is a graduate of The Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. He has been a commercial photographer for forty years, working with local and national ad agencies and corporations. His involvement in photography started when he was 12; his parents took him to “The Family of Man” exhibition, and he realized the power a single image can have. He began exploring the medium and fell in love with light and storytelling. From that point on he began his immersion into discovery. Many years later, he knew he wanted to make a living in photography. Commercial photography was the best way for him to be able to be creative and have an income. All along, he has consistently shot personal work. Now he is on a new journey of discovering why he picked up a camera in the first place...to connect to his world in his own autobiographical way.
