Hi, I'm Richard, the photographer behind Tower of Hats.

Photography started as a passion, but quickly became something much more. I love capturing moments that tell a story—whether it's helping a family preserve memories, documenting one of the biggest days of a couple's life, or showcasing a home in a way that makes buyers stop scrolling.

My background has taken me through a variety of careers, and each one taught me something valuable: attention to detail, problem-solving, and the importance of treating people with honesty and respect. Those experiences shape how I work with every client today.

At Tower of Hats, my goal is simple: provide high-quality photography, a relaxed experience, and images that exceed expectations. I believe great photos aren't just about the camera—they're about understanding the people, homes, and stories in front of the lens.

Based in New York's Capital Region, I offer real estate photography, family portraits, weddings, and seasonal photography sessions. Whether you're selling a home, celebrating a milestone, or simply wanting to capture life's moments, I'd be honored to help.

When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me learning something new, working on creative projects, or spending time with my family.

Thanks for stopping by—I look forward to working with you.
