About Alex
Family and Commercial Photographer
My name is Alex Rickard and I’ve been running my professional photography business for over 10 years. I work mainly in Sussex and the surrounding areas and enjoy making the most of the beautiful countryside around us.
I worked as a Picture Editor on newspapers and magazines for many years and that’s where my passion for photography began. I started to learn more about photography after having my children (now 14 & 16) and after sharing my images online I was encouraged by friends to pursue my photography dreams. I can honestly say I’ve never looked back!
I have a passion for learning (you could call me a workshop junkie!) and have enjoyed developing my skills even further over the lockdown period. I’ve focused more on lighting and product photography and have a built a cabin in my garden (my little piece of heaven) where I spend a lot of my time.
I’ve recently expanded my business to include more commercial shoots – headshots, personal branding, school marketing photography and events but my love for photographing children and families still remains.
I adore teaching photography skills to children, encouraging them to look at the world a little differently and also teach adults on a one-to-one basis. I hope to be running adult classes very soon.
