About
Rich Cirminello
I know I’ve done a good job when my clients are beaming, feeling beautiful and powerful.
Your ideas, your dreams, who you are and who you’re ready to be: that’s what we build the shoot around. The photographs show you as you are, with a glimpse of what’s possible.
The difference
Art and Engineering
Music technology at NYU. Software and engineering management in Silicon Valley, at Yahoo!, Skybox Imaging and Google. Editor-in-chief of VOLO Magazine, and partner in a fashion label. Twenty years behind the camera.
It’s an unusual mix, and it shows in the work: creative, technically exact, and never cookie-cutter. Your shoot is designed around you, lit with precision, and finished with care.
“He captured something about me that I forgot I had.”
EricaAn editorial standard
Styled and Directed Like an Editorial
The same approach as a magazine editorial or celebrity photo shoot: styling, light and direction designed around you.
Covers for VOLO Magazine, FSHN and Eufora. Four years as partner and COO of a fashion label: lookbooks, campaigns and casting, and learning what makes clothes look their best on real bodies.




“An incredible artistic eye. Every image feels intentional, refined, and beautifully composed.”
Jennifer Deck, Elirose DesignPrecision
Lit and Retouched by Hand
Other photographers come to me to learn lighting, and I serve as Director of Skills Development on the Dallas PPA board.
And every image you choose, I retouch myself, by hand, so the finished photograph still looks like you on your best day, never like a filter.


“Rich Cirminello, you nail it every time. I throw you lighting challenges and you just get me.”
Vanessa, Eufora Colorist of the YearFreedom
Room to Express Yourself
Years of fine art work, shown in galleries in San Francisco and Los Angeles, mean nothing you want to try is too much. Elegant or daring, you’ll be directed with the same eye and the same discretion.
