About Rick
I have been a woodworker, maintenance man in a mobile home park (in beautiful Sun Valley Idaho – it was better than it may sound), a waiter, a teacher, a photography set designer and set builder in off-Broadway theatre.
For the last 9 years I’ve been a full time commercial assistant/studio manager/set designer/builder/account manager/ producer/accountant/retoucher/janitor/and commercial photographer along with my wife Kathryn Gamble in running our company JWalk Studio.
Much of my time is spent in the world of commercial photography, working with clients to tell a story to grab attention and convey a brand through imagery. I am lucky to have had opportunities to work in lifestyle, automotive, food, fashion and beauty, interiors and exteriors and portraiture. But my primary interest is in the inanimate realm, anything from buildings to food, cars to shoes.
JWalk Studio is a 6000 sq ft studio located in the Western Gateway neighborhood of downtown Des Moines. We produce photo and video projects from concept, locations, set design and construction, wardrobe, styling, propping, hair and makeup and of course, photography.
