Leggo of My Logo
Apparently I’m a trend setter.
This is a screen cap of Nashville photographer’s new site. Released a couple days ago.
This is a screen cap from my website release over a year ago.
Come on people. It’s hard enough trying to be a photographer in a sea of “photographers”. You’re only adding to the problem when you rip another artist’s work…...

Had a great time shooting these photos back in the fall with TK McKamy, Chris Adams, and Jesse Gregg. Hope you enjoy and I’d love some feed back.

Alex Magallan
Grew up riding with this guy. Now he rides for Sunday bikes. Not only is he ridiculously good on a two wheeler, but rumor has it the kid can hold his own in a freestyle rap battle.
Get em’ lil Spookie.

Nathan Williams
For those who do not know, I grew up riding BMX. I grew up neglecting school work and spent 95 percent of my teenage years on a bicycle with this dude. Most of the best memories I have of my younger years are with this guy and I am truly amazed and encouraged by what Nathan has made of himself just doing what he loves. When I decided to stop riding and pursue other things, Nathan kept riding. Now...

An Honest Photograph
In a day and age where computer programs can make literally anyone look perfect, its quite difficult to find an esthetically pure image. I myself have been guilty of making a person look perfect via retouching at the expense of the overall mood and artistic nature the photograph was trying to communicate. It’s so easy to become immersed in the world of making everything look perfect. I...

Jordan Halvorsen & Vrasa.com
Hello friends! As many of you know I just released my new website. If you haven’t checked it out yet you can do that by going to joshritchie.net.
I thought I’d tell everyone about the guy who designed it. Jordan just moved to Nashville and opened his design firm called Vrasa. I feel like I should let everyone know that this dude is legit. He took an idea that I had in my head for...

Outcast BMX
I grew up riding BMX. So, when I got the call from Gresham Hill Management to shoot their BMX team I was definitely pumped. Despite the heat, harsh light, and hunger (I forgot to eat that morning) the day went really well. The guys were super fun to hang out with and shoot. I was even able to hop on a bike for a few minutes and ride the ramps. This was a bad idea because now I want to get another...

TK McKamy
TK and I were hanging out in his office the other day when a sudden storm popped up in Nashville. The mixture of soft light and awesome texture of raindrops on the window inspired the following photos.
Hope you are all having a wonderful day!
Style Series - Sho Baraka
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of working on the set of Trip Lee’s new music video Hero. Honestly, I don’t think the directors could have asked for a better artist to work with. Trip put in long hard hours and never complained one time. That dude is legit and great to work with.
When one shoots a music video and has his/her hands on a Red camera for a weekend, one must take the...
Style Series
My good friend and filmmaker TK McKamy has started a style series project. The project basically consist of short videos shot in cool locations and explores the usage of lighting and composition within the video. When I got the call to come help out/hang on the shoot, I couldn’t resist bringing my camera to snap a couple of shots for myself. All of the shots used only available light from...

Pastors
This is my pastor. He’s a jolly fella.
This is my friend, Jacob. He’s going to be a pastor soon too. I’m sure his jolliness will appear in a future photo.
cheers.
Development
I have recently found a direction for the type of shooting I would like to pursue full time. It has kind of floated around somewhere in the back of my head for a few years now. When you live in a media driven town however, a tendency to only take the work that is given (mainly pertaining to shooting promotional material) is always present. Only recently have I decided to take the time and begin...
