Rick Rasmussen has been involved in photography for over 35 years. In 8th grade he began developing and printing in black and white; and in high school worked with color in the darkroom. In keeping up with the changing times, Rick converted to digital photography in 2004.      

     Rick's main interest is in wildlife and nature photography. His subjects are truly in the wild and not part of any domesticated habitat. One of his primary goals is to photograph his subjects in their natural environment with no disturbance what so ever to the subjects he's photographing. Another important goal is to portray the animals doing what they do naturally... surviving.

     Rick's favorite place to photograph is in his lifetime residence of Central Nebraska where he has shared the diverse wildlife opportunities with many photographers from around the United States. Traveling to other locations to experience other fascinating wildlife and landscapes has been a dream come true. Some of these destinations include: Alaska, Yellowstone and Antarctica.

     Some of Rick's photo credits include; Highly Honored Winner in Natures Best Magazine  2008 - Windland Rice International Awards Competition, Grand Prize Winner in Wyoming Wildlife Magazine 2008 photo competition, Best Of Show in Grand Island Art In The Park and Best Of Show 4 times at Stuhr Museum Wings Over The Platte Competition. He has also been published in several books and has many images in advertising campaigns.
