C
apturing both human and non-human subjects
alike has been the adventure and experience of
photographer Ricardo Bascombe - a veteran in the
world of photography for the past 12 years.
Photography for Ricardo is fun and it allows him to
capture the present moment as it happens, as well as
share the past and preserve memories without words. As
he so passionately exclaims, “photography tells stories
of what has taken place before!” For Ricardo,
photography is his personal story of a time in his life, a
time filled with faces that he loves. Moreover,
photography is an avenue for him to share the desires of
what’s beautiful and interesting with others. It is his
language which speaks to his emotions.
Though an experienced photographer capturing a range
of special events and fashion shows, Ricardo being very
passionate about perfecting his craft, plans to develop
himself more artistically. He intends to experiment and
challenge himself with new and more creative work
such as landscaping, real estates, architecture and
commercial photography.
As if shouting from a roof top, Ricardo shares some
words of advice with upcoming photographers:
“Try everything no matter what, and be creative,
photojournalism, fashion, portraiture, have fun. If you
wish to take pics of cats, dogs or horses, just do it. Do
some reading, collaborate with people you admire. The
key to learning is participation. Do it because you love
it. The chief reward is going to be the process of doing
it. Yes, there will also be rewards such as, recognition,
and financial remunerations. However, you should also
use it as a passion. Photograph who you are (your
thoughts and ideas goes a long way). Photograph things
you care about or that interest you. Be open to criticism
and stick to your core values. Learning the theory is
very useful; but, you learn more by participating.”
Advice taken and given has added greatly to Ricardo’s
success as a photographer.
