Initially this manifested itself through the craft of painting and illustration, and a growing and evolving fascination with the play of light on familiar things and maybe more so, Its emotional responses.

Riccardo feels a connection with the natural world, reaching far beyond just an interest. The merging of this, with his new found realization of the ability of film to capture such light and detail, was the very inevitable progression to landscape photography.

‘I was and still am, amazed by how natures infinite beauty can provide opportunity for such artful capture, feeling an almost greater buzz when allowing nature to provide for you, as opposed to the artists own personal interpretation.
Having said that, the deeper I have explored photography, the less I can distinguish between the creative process of painting with a brush, or one with light’.

It’s the beauty and romance in all of us, that Riccardo Seeks to translate back to the viewer, and himself. Something that maybe rises above the mundane, sending out both environmental and spiritual messages. Only If Riccardo's imagery achieves this, does he see it as a success.

Riccardo Beghini lives in Bridgend, Wales, United Kingdom.
