Originally from New York, Richard Silver now calls the world his home. Over the past three years he has traveled to 50 countries - has visited over 90 countries in total - photographing the stunning libraries, churches, concert halls and facades that he encounters. "I am not a typical studio photographer, since I am traveling all year long," says Richard. “My studio and workspace are in whatever city I happen to be in.” Richard has been taking photographs for almost 30 years. He first became serious about the practice in his 20s living in Brooklyn and working in Long Island. On his way home from work at night, he would go to the Brooklyn waterfront to shoot the Manhattan skyline. He has received worldwide acclaim for his photographic work in architecture, travel and landscape. His clients are the leaders of industry, including National Geographic Travel, United Airlines, KLM, CNN, Tiffany & Co, Cartier, Bank of America and the UN Aids Organization. In 2019, he was featured in the PhEST Photo Festival in Monopoli, Italy and a museum exhibition at the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich, Switzerland.

About The Artist
Artist Statement
Ultimately I am driven by exploration and discovery which my photography affords me the opportunity to travel the globe translating the visceral into the visual. By sharing my perspective with others I aim not only to present a photograph but also a lens into my feelings and outlook in a particular moment. Photography and travel may as well be one word to me. My goal as an artist is to "X" off as many places around the world until I run out of places or run out of time.
