Rainbow Bridge
After moving back to Tucson in 1989 Ron started shooting weddings on the side while working as a color mural printer. Hired by the University of Arizona as a medical photographer at Biomedical Communications Ron loved the technical aspect of photography but wanted the freedom to become more creative. With that in mind Ron joined the team of very creative photographers at a large studio in Tucson. This is where he became familiar with the business of photography and how important the creative process is when applied to advertising. After taking full ownership of his own studio Ron never looked back. Going digital as the first of its kind in 2000. Tempted by an advertised job for the Crime Scene Unit at TPD Ron worked there for several years working crime scenes collecting evidence and photographing crime scenes.
Again wanting to follow the need for the creative aspect of photography he started his own company again. Learning to fly and produce aerial images.
