My Dad - I'll always miss you!!! (March 16 1929 ~ April 1 2009)
Hello everyone! My name is Rich Leighton and I'm a professional photographer based in Tallahassee, Florida. My wife and I are the proud owners of the quirkiest photography and digital imaging company in the land - Leighton Photography & Imaging (www.leightonphotography.com) and we also run the wildly popular "Florida Nature Photography" website (www.floridanaturephotography.com)
Due to this ridiculous recession, I've had to expand to make ends meet, but am really having a blast with portrait photography and stylizing these images in very creative and artistic ways. Not that I am taking away too much time from my wildlife photography, it's just a whole new exciting world for me. As always, my enthusiasm for my art takes me along with it - often without letting me know where I am headed!
For my rates, contact me directly so we can arrange a meeting to go over details.
If you are a model, I am available for LIMITED TFP/TFCD so contact me for details and scheduling.
"Speak to me about art and I will learn more about you. Nature is also like that. When you look deeply into the natural world you look deeply into yourself -- when you describe nature, you describe yourself.
" ~Adam Wolpert

It wiped out 85% of all species on Earth in the End-Permian Mass Extinction 251 million years ago, and can do it again, right now. The much milder Cretaceous Crisis was the one that wiped out the dinosaurs.
