Hi there! My name is Richard Do.

I am a freelance photographer based in Orange County, CA, currently serving as a staff photojournalist for JPWest Media.

Born in New Jersey, raised in Idaho, and now residing in California, I’ve been shaped by the diversity of my journey. Growing up, I was a two-sport athlete in football and track, where I learned the value of teamwork and resilience. It wasn’t until my late teens that I discovered my passion for photography — an art form that has taken me further than I ever imagined. Once my athletic career finished, I established a new identity in sports photography.

Photography is more than a hobby for me. It’s a gift that seamlessly integrates into my lifestyle — allowing me to capture stories, evoke emotion, and preserve meaningful moments.

When I began, my mission was simple: to express my love for sports creatively. Now, my vision has evolved; I strive to make an impact through my work and redefine who I am as an individual.
