Rick Schwab grew up in a creative home. His mother was a fine art painter and his father an amateur photographer. After graduating with a BFA from The Hartford Art School, Schwab moved to New York City and began a photo retouching career in advertising and cosmetics. Within a few years Schwab began using a camera too, and photographed images for advertising, book publishing, and fine art for the art world. Around 2011, Schwab started his corporate career and now counts many New York Wall St. companies as his clients. He includes his award winning retouching in every portrait selected. Schwab also produces fine art photographs which he exhibits regularly at Soho Photo Gallery, 539 West 23rd St. Chelsea. His art can be seen at: www.rickschwabart.com
