Rick Souders

Souders Studios

Denver, CO, USA
I grew up in the rural high plains near the Pawnee National Grasslands of Colorado. I lived in a very creative and inspiring atmosphere. Growing up in a small town allowed him to raise chickens, rabbits, and pheasants. My passion for food and agriculture runs deep. Ie appreciates where our food comes from and that has played an important role in his love of food and beverage photography. Today I live on the Souders Park property in a beautiful environmentally friendly ranch home adjacent to my Studios.

Rick is truly known an artist in the realm of food photography. He is a master with lighting, color, texture and composition. There is an art to making food and drinks have taste appeal and still look real and approachable. In the Denver area, Rick is known as “the Mile-High Food and Beverage Guy.”
