自我介绍

Following 5 years studying Economics at UCLA, and a photography internship at the Los Angeles Times, my first job was as a Fashion Photographer's Assistant at Vogue Studios in Milan. I was then hired by the famous Milan Fashion Studio of Graziella Vigo, where I was the First Assistant and photographer and met and worked with people like Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace, Krizia, Gianfranco Ferrè, Laura Biagiotti, Andy Warhol and many others icons of the time. These were not only studio clients, but Graziella's friends, so the relationship I had with them was not just work. Years later when I worked on South Beach with my own clients and as one of the main photographers for celebrity events, one night covering an event at the Marlin Hotel, Valentino, the high fashion designer from Rome, was walking by the Marlin and said, "Ron, where is Graziella?" Another time on South Beach at the News Cafe, Gianni Versace, who had come to buy a newspaper asked, "how Graziella was doing?" I had the fortune of knowing the people whose names are only brands to millions of people. In that world, every time we touched the camera it was to make photos that would be on the pages of Vogue or other major magazines or newspapers in a matter of days or weeks. There was no such thing as not getting the shot, making a mistake, being sick or not arriving on time. The Fashion Machine just moved way too fast for excuses or mistakes. As a celebrity and events photographer, the pictures become timeless memories families will cherish for generations to come. Our images always had to have a fashion flair worthy of any major magazine and also highlighted the fact that they were done in memorable locations around the world. This was a good school of life.
