Rick Sammon
is an Photographer that specializes in not specializing. He is also a prolific Photographic author and
instructor. He has been hosted on
Creative Live as a guest instructor and is a member of the Scott Kelby group.
I was introduced
to Rick’s photography thru one of his books, Rick Sammon’s complete Guide to
Digital Photography. The imagery in his
book was very reminiscent of the images commonly found in National Geographic. I was particularly impressed with his images
of the slot canyons in Arizona. I later
attended an on-line weekend seminar taught by Rick through Creative live. Wow!! What a neat guy.
Rick is well versed in nearly all
styles of photography and is currently unleashing his formidable talent on the
HDR spectrum. I know that many
photographers cringe when these letters rear their heads, But HDR is an exciting
newer style that will be here with us for a while. It is common for photographers to specialize
in a specific type of photography. You
have wedding and event photographers, product photographers, fine art
photographers that further segregate themselves into narrower sub categories
and the list goes on. Rick does it all
and to make it even more interesting he is a master at all. His body of work spans nearly if not all continents
and styles. His photographic talents are
consistently superb, and he is a really nice person and outstanding
instructor. I think anyone can
appreciate some aspects of some of his photography and I also think anyone can
learn something from Rick. Check out his
work or a book and you will see what I mean.
