About
Rick Gilbert with his 1968 Cadillac DeVille
It all started when…
Rick began capturing rural but mostly urban landscapes. His journalistic approach and love of shooting in natural light was influenced by the work of Walker Evans, Berenice Abbott and Eugene Atget. "My parents were always involved in the art world and my mother is a painter and sculptor but I could never draw.
When I first saw Atget's images at the Met in NYC as a kid, I had an immediate connection and picked up the camera and began shooting".
Professionally, Rick has worked as an event and tour producer for several NY based entertainment marketing agencies but first started working for Michael Lang's artist management company, Better Music, in Manhattan. It was there he met famed music photographer Henry Diltz. "When I saw Henry shoot one of Joe Cocker's concerts, I thought he had the greatest job in the world". Rick's love of music has brought him full circle and he has now been able to combine it with his passion for photography and his other passion…cars!
Rick has been one of NY’s premier Corporate and Special Event photographers as well as being the House Photographer for Legendary Concert Promoter John Scher and his company, Metropolitan Entertainment. Rick recently created Rockin’ & Rollin’ Imagery to market his vast catalog of Music Photography combined with the opportunity to safely photograph folks outdoors with their favorite and classic rides.
It all started here…with my all time favorite ride…a 1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud photographed @1979
