Some things about me….

My name is Ricky Davis of TRD Photography. I’ve been photographing people since 2009 and I’ve been published internationally. A lot of my work was in the tattoo/alternative scene. My goal back in the day was to be one the big tattoo photographers….

My work has evolved a lot over the years as have the things that are important to me as a photographer. I have a couple of passions in photography.

1. Film Photography - I’m passionate about working with b&w film to capture unique and timeless portraits for people. Why film? Because it’s real, and it makes you feel something when you look at it. We are inundated with fake and digital manipulations everywhere we look. Going back to analog to create something real makes me happy.

2. Dark Themed Photography - I recently split my darker work from TRD Photography into it’s own brand, which you can find at www.therickydavis.com I have always loved doing darker themed photography. The past couple of years I’ve been experimenting a lot in that realm and I love the outlet that it gives me to experiment and share a different side of myself.

3. Documenting America - I have been blessed to get to travel and take photos and I’ve been getting to travel a lot more the past couple of years. I have realized how much I love being on the road and seeing new things. I’ve been doing a lot of film photography out on the road, as well as some digital of just seeing places in America and trying to learn about and take as many photos as possible before places are lost forever.

I do want the emphasize that I am still available for client bookings. I prefer to photograph people on film, but if you still would like to book me for my old styles of work, I am willing to do that. I do not share much of that on my pages anymore. Ultimately I still want to provide any and all of my clients with badass photographs that make them feel as cool as they are.
