In addition to being a photographer, Richard Bowen recently retired from 19 years employment as a Sr. Technical Illustrator and Graphic Artist at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. He won an art scholarship while in High School, then later graduated from Ray Vogue Photography school in Chicago, Illinois prior to opening a Photo Studio in Lansing, Michigan.

Rich is a long-time member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP) and attends Photoshop seminars and yearly conventions on a regular basis. He has photographed weddings and other assignments all over Illinois, Texas, Iowa, Michigan, Alabama, Florida and his home state, Tennessee.

The images on this site show how Rich has blended this art background with current state of the art digital imagery to create a highly stylized technique of Computer Photo Image Manipulation. The primary tool to do this manipulation is, of course, Adobe Photoshop CS4.
