About Me

Concert photographer based in Providence,

Rick Farrell has been drawn to music his entire life. Perhaps it was growing up in Newport, RI, host to the venerable Newport Jazz and Folk festivals. Or maybe it was the countless hours of listening to his older siblings' LP's on the stereo in the 60's. Whatever the reason, there has always been a strong connection.

He had originally taken up photography as a hobby, eventually gravitating towards shooting professionally in  2008. Never knowing what his true passion or niche was, proved to be very frustrating to say the least. Then in 2011, he shot a concert, and everything seemed to click (no pun intended). He had discovered his passion! Concert photography!

He considers himself fortunate to have photographed shows at some of the premier venues in New England, including Fenway Park and Gillette Stadium. He has literally photographed hundreds of shows, including some of the biggest acts in today's music industry. He has photographed many esteemed festivals including the New Orleans Jazz Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Newport Jazz Festival, and Farm Aid. His work has been published in numerous outlets locally, regionally, and nationally.

Musically, he loves everything from rock to country, jazz, r&b, pop, and classical. There is no greater feeling for him than capturing a moment on stage for others to enjoy for posterity. Represented on this website are some of his favorites. Whatever your taste, his goal is to provide "music for your eyes." Enjoy!
