About Rico

Photo: Valerie Mejia

I am a Los Angeles based Fashion, Beauty and Portrait Photographer and I have a passion for travel, music and storytelling. Producing new work, exploring new themes and pushing boundaries is both viscerally fulfilling as well as an integral aspect of my creative process. I recently made Production Paradise's short list of top 10 Fashion Photographers for 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 campaign.

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. My work was displayed at the Louvre in Paris as part of a collective retrospect of Fashion Photography from around the world.

I enjoy collaborating with other creatives, brainstorming on concepts and finding solutions during the "Creative Call". Producing work that feeds the soul and which everyone can be proud of is the goal behind every click of the shutter.
