As a Freelance Photographer for most of my working life, I engage with a wide variety of the general public and corporate world, attending photographic shoots for media events, covering corporate and industry product launches, awards nights, weddings and significant birthday celebrations, portraits, landscapes and various volunteer community events.

 

Even though I was a red carpet photographer for many years in Sydney and my images have been on the cover of magazines around the world, my favourite would have to be the honour of one of my photos being on the cover of Australian novilest - Annie Seaton's book, "East of Alice". Releaed in November 2022.

Rick puts an incredible amount of thought into every photograph he takes and it shows... The best part though, is that he is also an excellent communicator and is willing to share his depth of knowledge. Thanks and keep up the great work!

We should all have Rick's spirit and sense of adventure. What a great fortune to be able to explore the world, and capture it so beautifully. Photographers have to be travelers at heart, I think. We always seek that perfect shot, always strive to become something more in our work, whether we're at home or halfway across the globe. Rick Monk: the Indiana Jones of photography. Cheers!
