Rich Brooks is an International Award-Winning Landscape and Wildlife photographer.
After a successful career as a corporate financial executive, he returned to photography with a deep passion to capture the world’s beautiful landscapes and wildlife. Rich loves the challenge of the outdoor environment, especially in extreme conditions. The opportunity to witness Mother Nature create beautiful scenes or watch animals in their native environment makes him feel alive. His passion for this type of photography requires him to be patient and persistent. Like sitting in the snow and cold waiting for the clouds and sun to be just right to capture a special image of El Capitan or wearing waders and packing gear for miles over the tundra to photograph grizzlies at an isolated waterfall. Yes, it can get miserable at times, but to be able to be there to experience a scene that no one else will witness is a wonderful feeling. Rich’s goal is to share this experience with friends and collectors through my photography. Not all images will be unique per se, but he tries to find something different to enlighten the viewer.
He has won many awards for his photography and has had images published in various international publications. His photos have been selected as part of national exhibitions and are in private collections throughout the USA and Asia.
Rich’s favorite words are, “Let’s Go!” I hope to see you on the frontier.
