ARTIST STATEMENT

For over three decades, I have dedicated myself to the art and craft of photography, capturing moments in time, illuminating stories, and exploring the world from unique perspectives. My journey through the lens has been a dynamic and evolving one, shaped by the ever-changing landscape of photography itself.

With more than 20 years of specialization in aerial and commercial photography, I have honed my skills to create striking and impactful visual journeys. The aerial vantage point offers a fresh dimension to my work, allowing me to reveal the beauty and intricacies of our world from above. This unique perspective has enabled me to craft images that inspire, inform, and ignite curiosity.

One of the hallmarks of my career has been my early adoption of digital imagery and photography from their inception. Embracing the digital revolution, I recognized the limitless possibilities it offered to expand the boundaries of photographic artistry. This forward-thinking approach has allowed me to innovate, adapt, and stay at the forefront of technological advancements in the field.

In 2006, well before drones became a major story in aerial photography, I began building and utilizing these cutting-edge tools. This pioneering spirit allowed me to push the boundaries of aerial photography even further, capturing breathtaking images from angles and altitudes previously inaccessible. Today, I continue to harness the capabilities of both drones and helicopters to create aerial masterpieces that showcase the world's splendor in ways that were once unimaginable.

Over the years, I've worked with diverse clients, from corporations to small businesses and schools, capturing unique perspectives. Every project, big or small, fuels my creativity and passion for photography. My goal as a photographic artist is to freeze captivating, emotionally resonant moments in time through my lens.

Thank you for joining me on this photographic journey. It is my hope that my work not only speaks to you but also invites you to see the world through a new lens—a lens that celebrates the beauty, complexity, and wonder that surround us.

Sincerely,


Rick Lohre
