ABOUT:
Rickey Portis
My name is Rickey Portis, and I'm a passionate photographer based in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Currently, I’m pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photojournalism with minors in Multimedia Design and Photography at Central Michigan University.
With over eight years of personal experience in photography, I’ve had the privilege of working with organizations like UnitedWay and Brandhrt Evolution, capturing stories and moments that matter. My work has also been featured in RAW magazine, an experience that has fueled my dedication to the craft.
I believe in the power of visual storytelling and strive to convey emotions and narratives through my lens. Thank you for visiting my portfolio—I invite you to explore my work and see the world through my eyes.
