Local 600 Stills Photographer + Director & Producer - Nikon Creative Partner [email protected]
Joined September 2009
As the year comes to an end, I’m very excited to announce my latest partnership with @NikonUSA. This is a big milestone for me because I’ve been using Nikon cameras primarily since the start of my career - from the D40, D7000, D750, and Z7 - I’m proud to add the Z8 to my arsenal.

For those of you that don’t know. I am a commercial/surreal photographer. With my work I often challenge human perception, condition, and context.

Photography is still a medium that exists outside of social media. I've come to believe most people don't take it serious because of the nature in which they see it used on a daily basis. But it holds more meaning than a post and it helps create some of the greatest art pieces.

It certainly feels like a weird time to be working in any creative industry. You really have to love this shit to keep going. It’s all one big endurance test.

When you don’t quite fit in to most categories, that’s where you belong. That’s your niche.

I'm Aaron Ricketts. I'm a photographer & visual artist based in Philadelphia. I've been working for myself as a freelance for the past 3 years. I don't expect a RT to change my life but I definitely want more people to see my work.

It really creeps me out thinking how people won’t say a word to you but will watch everything you do and say on socials.

As a creative person you've gotta create every idea you have, even if it sucks because that one bad idea can lead to a good one.
