After a hiatus of twenty years, during which he practiced clinical hypnotherapy, David Ritchey has returned to what he considers his "true vocational calling" that of Fine Art Photography. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he received more than sixty awards for photographic excellence, including winning the prestigious "Expo III" national juried exhibition. He was represented by Mussavi Arts Center of New York City, Galerie Triangle of Washington, DC, Art Masters of Princeton, NJ and Lasting Impressions Gallery of Bucks County, PA, among others. His photographic images have been described as "definite yet yielding, detailed yet ethereal, subjective, emotional and profound." In his own words: "My energy is directed toward capturing the emotional impact of what I see. I'm looking for the 'soul' of my subject, whether it is animate or inanimate. What is important to me is the quintessential being, not the tangible reality, of whatever it is that I happen to be photographing." See less
