About:
I've been shooting since 1997, professionally since 2005 or so. I love photographing people, and have been told I'm good at making people feel comfortable in front of the lens. When it comes to event photography, I subscribe to the ninja school of thought; the less noticeable I am, the better the shots.
While I let my work speak for itself, one thing that a portfolio can't convey (and something that separates me from a lot of other photographers) is that I'm very easy to work with. I'm friendly, outgoing, laid back, and am often the one to arrive early and stay late, especially when covering events. I truly enjoy working with people and building relationships with both clients and colleagues, and it shows in my work ethic and general demeanor.
NOTE: Posted rate is an average for event coverage. Portrait and head shot pricing is available at my website.

I had the privilege of having Mike Ricca as my headshot photographer and photoshop editor. He did an amazing job, and I got a lot of compliments on my headshot from people in the acting industry. Also, casting directors comment on how my headshot looks like me - a highly regarded component in casting. These positive reviews came as a result of his creative eye and natural ability to make people feel at ease to be themselves in front of the camera. I believe that any client of Mike's will be more than pleased to have him as a photographer!

Mike is one of the best photographers I've ever had the chance to work with. Not only does he know his shit, but his creativity and imagery are fantastic.
I can't wait to shoot with him again!

My agency utilized and hired Mike Ricca for event photography. He has accountability and efficiency with reliable work service. He has good judgment, honest and possesses keen instincts in capturing images. He delivered a quality product on time and to my satisfaction.
Marissa Kim says:
I worked with Mike on a shoot for the online store of a women's fashion label. Mike was very professional, worked quickly, but carefully, and was good at directing the models throughout the shoot. We were also delighted with the quick turnaround of the images (he understood our commercial needs).
Having seen the work Mike did for us and some of his other work, I would highly recommend working with Mike - he is a great guy and a talented photographer!
