Rick Perez
Rick Perez, also known as 'Good Time Rick', is a photographer, event producer, director, and artist manager based in Los Angeles, California. Rick is mostly known for his music photography and being the founder of the music and culture publication, Reckless Magazine..
Since he was 15 years old, Rick has been photographing the adventures he experienced with his friends up and down the California coast. In his mid-twenties, he decided to move to New York City to discover himself as an artist.
While spending 6 years photographing the creative inhabitants of New York City, Rick found his niche within the thriving DIY music scene . His natural eye for light, composition, and fleeting moments has allowed him to develop a style that can be described as raw, authentic, and full of life.
Now residing in Los Angeles, Rick continues his documentation of underground scenes, while developing his skills in other aspects of the music industry such as journalism, event production, and artist management.
