This page is all about me. Sorry but I have to do this. This is the only page on my website about me. I will keep it brief though ok?
But I need to tell you who I am so you know that you are in safe hands with me as I explain photography things to you in plain English in less than 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail.
This is me.
I am Rick McEvoy MCIOB, ABIPP. I am in my early 50s, happily married and living in Dorset on the south coast of England.
My interests are my family, photography, podcasting, writing, travel, football and cricket.
I am an architectural and construction photographer and also a photography educator, blogger and podcaster.
Let me tell you a bit more about me
Photography
I have been interested in photography since the age of about 13 (so long ago I can’t actually remember). I had my own darkroom by the age of 16 (funded and tolerated on the chest freezer in the utility room by Mum and Dad).
I have no idea where this lifelong interest came from, and no idea why all these years later photography is still my thing.
Education
Let’s skip this bit – I was not great at school……
Work
I left school and went to Art College for 2 terms before deciding that I needed money to live. I dropped out of college and started working for a construction company, starting right at the bottom as a labourer.
I have a lifetime of experience in the construction industry, which makes being an architectural and construction photographer a completely logical thing to do.
And do you know what – I love photograhing buildings.
Life
I have travelled extensively with my best mate, wifey.
I have also summited the highest active volcano in the world, completed (just) the London Marathon and dived to a ridiculous depth.
Professional Qualifications
I am also professionally qualified in photography, being an Associate of the British Institute of Professional Photography (ABIPP).
This is my listing on the BIPP website.
I am also professionally qualified in construction. Yes I am a Chartered Construction Manager in the Chartered Institute of Building.
My website
I have another website which is my business website – Rick McEvoy Photography.
This is where you can find out lots more about me and my world of photography.
My Photography Blog
I write a photography blog about a variety of photographic subjects. I write as I talk, so this is a great place to get to know me (but see below).
But now you can hear me talkingon my podcast!
I started writing about photography stuff a few years ago, and hugely enjoy this process. You will find a wide variety of subects covered on my blog in the following categories.
- Architectural Photography
- Construction Photography
- Dorset Photography
- Hampshire Photography
- Lightroom, Photoshop and Luminar
- Micro Four Thirds Photography
- Photography
- Photography Business
- Photography Explained Podcast
- Photography Gear
- Travel Photography
Photography Explained Podcast
You can find out all about this on this very website.
What I will say here is that I explain one photographic thing per episode in plain English in less than 10 minutes without the irrelevant detail. I could not find a podcast that did this so I created my own.
And you can read the content of my podcast episodes in my blog if you would rather not listen to me. Which is fine.
I also have a You Tube channel!
If that lot is not enough I have my own You Tube Channel where I post a weekly video which accompanies my weekly photography blog post (when I have time that is).
Yes you can read my stuff, listen to my stuff and watch me explain stuff!
Travel Photography
My other photographic thing is travel photography. This is where I combine my loves of photography and travel, so much so that I have created two websites.
Check out these websites and you will see the other side of me, the travel side. Paxos Travel Guide also has an accompanying You Tube Channel.
My landscape photography
This is my other passion. I am not sure where travel photography starts and landscape photography ends. Not that it matters.
Check out my pages about places in England and photos that I have taken of them.
How to get in touch with me
Email me – sales@rickmcevoyphotography.co.uk. I will get a nice form on this website soon.
You can also find out what I am up to on my other social media channels.
Although to be honest my websites are the best place these days.
My Own Work!
Everything you hear and read is my personal opinions based on my experiences and the stuff that I have had to learn as I did not know it well enough to explain!
And I am explaining things how I see them. I am not saying that my way is the only way, but it is my way.
