About ric getter:photography

My specialty is news and documentary-style photography. My photos tell stories. I began my career as a staff photographer for the Middlesex (now MetroWest) Daily News in the Boston suburbs through the 1970’s. I’m now back in business as a photographer.

My work focuses (sorry!)  on:

  • News and sports
  • Events
  • PR
  • Informal kids portraits
  • Drone photography and video (FAA licensed pilot)
  • Travel

For community-service nonprofits, I have a sliding scale, pay-what-you-can-afford (if anything) pricing policy. I do that as my contribution to the community. Fully commercial assignments are priced on a per-job basis. (If something is really fun or takes me to interesting places, the cost can be very low.
