Your Photographer

Rick Blumenthal

Rick trained at the Germain School of Photography in New York City, the Philadelphia College of Art as

well as the U.S. Naval School of Photography. While serving in the military he worked as a still photographer

and motion picture cameraman, shooting a wide range of work from portraits to industrial training films.

He was a stringer for United Press International and a camerman for ABC News.

He continued in photography and television production on the east coast until relocating to

Los Angeles where he worked in Hollywood as a Producer and Director's Guild production manager

for Warner Brothers, Paramount, Sony and numerous other film and television companies.

His extensive experience in the entertainment industry and passion for the performing arts adds much

to his sensitivity in producing the highest quality photography for the working performer.

He shoots exclusively in a studio environment, where he maintains complete control over the quality

of images produced and works only with state-of-the-art photographic equipment, shooting in a

high-resolution, digital full-frame format. Our studio has an inventory of over a dozen varied backgrounds

to further enhance the images.

He has perfected The Image Room's "wall of light", a lighting system that insures the softest light

for the most becoming results possible.

Rick is a member of the Professional Photographers of America and Professional Photographers

of California, both professional trade associations where the newest innovations and techniques

are explored along with continuing educational programs. He attended the West Coast School in

San Diego where he studied "glamour photography" with PPA master photographer Tim Meyer.
