Rika's photographs are not ordinary. They are quality professionalism in action. She carefully considers light, environment, and mood as she captures the moment. Her group pictures are carefully considered for angle, background and total perspective. Working with people, she overrides tendencies toward camera shyness and gets expressions that are natural, and comfortable and is open to any and all varied environments to work within. She also willingly uses black and white photography when the need fits the outcomes of her clients. Her photographic ability shows passion (much more then surface interest), talent, and creativity. She goes beyond her academic training to true art. I recommend her highly. read more
