These books teach advanced techniques for image editing and provide custom-made tools that simplify the most difficult image editing processes and make them accessible to anyone. Richard has been a columnist for Digital Photography Techniques, has written for many magazines including Popular Photography, PCPhoto, Photography Techniques, Advanced Photoshop, and more. He has taught digital rendering at Daemen College in New York and courses online at betterphoto.com.

Richard's photography tends toward the abstract and experimental, often using unusual editing processes as well as unusual equipment. His Canon 7D is his traditional setup, but his Sigma SD1 often sports vintage M42 lenses, can be fitted with an old bellows, extension tubes and converts easily to an infrared setup. In processing and printing, he often attempts to push the limits of digital rendering using his experience with the medium.
