AbOUT ADRIANA RICHEY
I was born in Monterrey, Mexico, and spent many years building my creative career in Houston, Texas before making my way to Portland, Oregon. Along the way, I’ve spent more than a decade behind the camera photographing everything from food, beverages and products to models, artists, movement and the occasional doggo :)
I love playing with light, color, movement, composition and unexpected perspectives to create images that feel intentional and tell a story. Sometimes that means making a cocktail look almost too good to drink. Sometimes it’s freezing a dancer in midair, finding the perfect light for a beauty portrait, or building an entire scene around a product.
My background in communications and film has also shaped the way I approach commercial photography. I understand that a beautiful image isn’t always enough. Brands need visuals that communicate something, connect with the right people and actually work across websites, social media, advertising and campaigns. I love finding that sweet spot between creativity and purpose.

Over the years, my work has grown beyond photography into creative direction, video production and digital content strategy. I’ve collaborated with breweries, restaurants, small businesses and brands to create visual stories that are not only beautiful, but useful.
At home: My husband and I got married in 2013. Together we have a son named Wally and a daughter named Abbie (they are dogs, and they are my favorite models to shoot). Most days, I’m happiest behind the scenes with a camera in my hand.
