| Richard Durnan was
born and raised in Washington DC where he began taking photographs
with his first camera in high school. Richard took a black and
white photography course, his only formal photography training,
while attending Plymouth State College in New Hampshire where
he obtained a BS in Environmental Biology.
In 1995 Richard left his job as a Paramedic Firefighter
with the Concord Fire Department in Concord, New Hampshire, and
traveled through out Asia for 14 months. This was his second major
journey there in which he worked as a whitewater rafting guide
and honed his skills as an adventure travel photographer. Upon
his return to the United States Richard began to sell his photography
and established himself as a full time photographer in the outdoor
adventure industry. |
| Richard
has been traveling and photographing nature, the outdoors,
and outdoor activities for over 15 years. Richard brings
a unique perspective to his work that is truly in-tune with
the subject matter of the images he makes. He is an avid
participant in all the activities he photographs: rock and
ice climbing, kayaking and rafting, mountain biking, and
trekking are among his favorites. This participation allows
him to candidly capture genuine activities and situations.
He strives for images with a strong graphic element, that
show spectacular settings and situations and hopefully evoke
a sense in the viewer that makes them say “I want
to be there doing that!” |

His traveling style
is one that involves him with the people and places he photographs,
allowing him to produce images that celebrate cultures, landscapes
and activities in the outdoors.“I like landscapes and images
that include people in them. People interacting with nature, climbing,
riding a bike, hiking, all help give perspective, and scale. People
are a natural part of any landscape”
Richard now resides in Ridgway, Colorado. |
