HELLO,

Welcome to Mike Rich Photography. Here are 7 things to know about me:

1. Born in Arkansas. Raised in Ohio. Moved to Chicago for 11 incredible years. Returned home in 2013 and couldn't be happier.

2. Happily married to my best friend since 2003.

3. I love to travel. In the past five years I have explored London, Edinburgh, Paris, Rome, Florence and dozens more beautiful adventures in between.

4. If it’s an option, I would rather walk or ride my bike.

5. I have been a photographer for 20+ years but I'm also an art director, graphic designer, illustrator, editor and problem solver. 

6. I was the Creative Director at the Chicago Tribune's RedEye publication from 2008 - 2013. My team worked closely with movie stars, musicians, professional athletes and politicians. Diane Lane touched my shoulder once. That was a good day. John Malkovich might have stolen a piece of my soul for his collection. Jesse Eisenberg will play paper football for a picture if you ask nicely. Chief Keef loves chicken alfredo. I should know, I delivered it to him at his grandma's house.

7. I'm good under pressure. I am flexible and I have the ability to make the best of every situation.
