Richie Schwartz
Pet Photographer, Photography Teacher, and Business Coach in New York
I am a former Veterinary Technician and Dog Trainer with over 40 years experience as a pro photographer. For my first 20 years, I worked in fashion, photojournalism, weddings, schools, portraiture, model portfolios and of course pet photography. In 2001, I began to specialize in Pet Photography exclusively. Partnering with Petco and Petsmart, we built a pet photography business that provided pet photography at 600 locations over 33 states. Having photographed over 100,000 pets, I am one of the country's most experienced, prolific Pet Photographers. I am a speaker and educator at photography clubs, pet expos and other events, where I offer pet photography seminars and workshops. I'm available for one on one mentorship as well.
