Portrait of photographer Rich Cirminello holding a camera

Hi I’m Rich Cirminello and welcome to my photography blog!

I’m currently based in Dallas, Texas, but I grew up in Jersey just outside New York City. I went to school (NYU) and worked in New York for a decade before relocating to San Jose, California in the heart of Silicon Valley in 2007.

In 2019 I moved to Austin, Texas which is where I met my wife, Nelly, and then she and I moved to Dallas in November of 2022.

I’ve been a photographer for nearly 20 years and in that time I’ve been fortunate enough to have had many amazing adventures! My cameras have taken me many exciting places from my home studio, to the streets of San Francisco, Death Valley, Las Vegas, Austin Texas. I’ve been to Taiwan and photographed runways in Hong Kong, Paris, London, LA, and New York. I’ve photographed boudoir in boutique hotels in Vegas, the Fairmont in San Jose, and the Greek islands of Crete, Santorini and Mykonos.

Photography is something that has really enriched my life and I created this blog to share my experience with others who are passionate about it.

Whether you are a stone cold beginner or a seasoned pro I hope you find something valuable here.
