Richard Scudder, is an acclaimed photographer for the motion pictures and entertainment industry. Born May 29th, 1965 in Glendale, CA. At the age of seventeen with his camera in hand, Richard moved from of his family's home into a small apartment off Hollywood and Highland. Back in those days the famous intersection was quite derelict but affordable for a young person. Adjacent to Richard's new apartment stood a photo lab that re-produced 8x10 headshots. Soon after his arrival, actors and models discovered a talented young Richard Scudder living next door to the lab who would photograph them on the cheap. The word got out that Richard delivered images as good or often times much better than the fashionable named photographers of the day. And so... Richard Scudder's career began. 33 years latter, and over 3,000 photo shoots to his credit, including on camera appearances of such television programs as "Americas Next Top Model".
