Rick of Rick McClain Photography has RETIRED and is now living on a CSY 44 cutter rigged sailboat in the Florida Keys. Here's what he did before he retired. - He was a commercial photographer specializing in innovative product photography, architectural photography, and industrial photography using traditional photographic methods, TOTALLY DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY, and digital manipulation. We were a full service photography studio in Salt Lake City, Utah, using 8" X 10", 4" X 5", 6 X 7 cm, 4.5 X 6 cm, and 35 mm formats to capture our images.

    OUR DIGITAL CAMERA was a high resolution Single Lens Reflex that cost $40,000 new and that captured an image large enough to be reproduced at 150 lines per inch up to and including standard magazine covers and virtually limitless continuous tone prints. (We've printed up to 60 inches wide and they still look sharp as a tack. Absolutely incredible.)   We use a wide range of interchangeable lenses, from very wide angle to telephoto on this camera; not limiting the creativity of our images. Nor are we tied to the studio with this camera. It can be used tethered to a computer in the studio or untethered, capturing 18mb files even in the field. Since it captures its files in one single exposure at any shutter speed we wish to use, it is perfect for capturing portraits or moving objects, even sports, as well as still lifes in the studio or on location with our full range of lighting equipment.

    We welcome you to our site and hope you will enjoy our images. We've kept our pages simple to make them download quickly for you and would certainly like to hear from you about our site, good or bad. Each page has an E-Mail link directly to us.

     Our images were used by a truly wide gamut of businesses including Advertising Agencies, Graphic Designers, Art Directors, Architects, Contractors, Manufacturers large and small, Interior Designers, etc.     Images we created grace the covers and pages of brochures, catalogs, annual reports, newspapers, magazines (editorially and advertising), billboards, coffee table picture books, and calendars.    They were also used for the backgrounds of several television news sets, on buses, as hang tags, trade show displays, .....and again the list goes on and on.

      Rick took photographs for a living for over thirty years.

      Our experience in traditional photography and our creative digital artistry worked for our clients to produce images that were sure to show off their products, services, and ideas to their utmost. Our images were designed to grab the customers' attention and hold it.

      We worked with a sensitivity for clients' needs and direction, are easy to work with, have reasonable rates, and created wonderfully eye catching images, too!

      Our careful lighting, attention to detail, photographic creativity, and digital prowess worked for our clients to show off products, ideas, and services for or to their clientele.
