The creative team

Originally from San Diego, Bernadette’s interest in photography and culture led her to study, photograph and teach in different parts of the world. Along with running Narrative Images for more than 15 years, she has also taught at local community arts organizations (The AjA Project and MOPA the Museum of Photographic Arts) that use photography as a tool for personal transformation and social change. Bernadette has also taught photography classes for UCSD.

Rick grew up on the East Coast in a community where he was first introduced to photography by the father of his childhood friend (an award winning photojournalist). In college Rick studied Photography and Sociology, eventually graduating from the London School of Economics. His academic academic background shapes the approach he takes to photography - specifically his work on social issues and visual narrative series. He has also taught classes at UCSD and Grossmont College. His interests in people and culture have informed his perspective and shaped the approach that he takes to all of his photographic work.
