The history of RYK PHOTO and DESIGN starts with Ryk Narell attending three different colleges and universities dealing with photography and creative thinking. At that time there were no digital cameras so one had to be quick and accurate with their shots to avoid the costly film and darkroom time to process it – if it didn’t turn out. This led to a discipline that was held by only the Top Guns of the time. They had no computers, no camera back previews of their shots and no YouTube to figure things out. What they did have was a very happy clientele offering paychecks to the photographers who got it right consistently. Ryk Narell was one of those. He even got his pictures published in Flare and Vogue.
