 After
finishing high school Steven Ricks attended the American Academy of
Art in Chicago. After two years of school, he began working as a
assistant in photography studios. There he worked on a variety of
projects, ranging from large studio shots to location work on the west
coast. At the age of 24, Steven opened his own studio in the
River North section of Chicago. He has worked with a wide range of clientele,
including Sears, Kmart, Quaker Oats, Chicago Magazine and Calif.
Dreamers.
About three years ago The
Studio went completely digital and Steven became acquainted with Adobe
Photoshop.
"I have always loved
to paint and draw but I was always limited by my artistic ability.
Through Adobe, I can now create on paper the places that I long to
visit in my head. I love the female form and almost always draw my
creativity from the sexuality of the photos."
