A lecture, multimedia presentation, and Q&A by Rick Guidotti: NY Supermodel Fashion Photographer and Founder, "Positive Exposure"
Rick Guidotti completed his education in photography and filmmaking at New York’s School of Visual Arts and established a studio in Manhattan, specializing in portraiture and fashion for 15 years. During that period he also worked in Milan, Paris and London for clients such as Yves Saint Laurent, Elle, Harpers Bazaar, Revlon, L’Oreal and Life Magazine.
In 1998, Rick founded Positive Exposure, a non profit organization that challenges stigma associated with difference by pioneering a new vision of the beauty and richness of genetic diversity. Rick’s photo essay “Redefining Beauty” in Life Magazine won the Genetic Alliance’s “Art of Reporting” award.
