Pierre Richard

My name is Pierre Richard
I'm a First Nations, and Japanese mix who discovered the world of photography at a young age. My interest began when my Father showed me original photographs he took of "Rocket Richard" and the Queen of England. The way you can capture memories at any point, whether it be a happy or sad moment in time.  Taking pictures fascinated me and this drew into the profession of photography.  
My experience with the Sookinchoot youth group, gave me hands on experience with mentors to feed the artist in me.  I was able to work with well known artist contemporary and traditional, photographers, theatrical, and Elders. 
I am now a Student at Center Of Arts And Technology Okanagan, I'm studying Digital Photography and my goal is to be a professional photographer who specializes in portraiture and fine art photography.
