Richard Owens, Ph.D. lives in Big Sur with his wife. Growing up, he stayed in the log cabin above Nepenthe with his grandmother Lolly Fassett. He has been interested in photography from a young age when he was given a Kodak camera to capture a trip to the San Francisco Zoo. He grew up in Pacific Grove and spent three day weekends at Nepenthe in Big Sur, CA. After graduating high school he left to attend college and explore the world. His background in zoology and ecological anthropology influence his photography. In 2016, while living in Bangkok, he bought a digital camera and began taking photography seriously. The busy exotic city provided a good opportunity to practice and hone his photography skills. “I strive to balance light and symmetry together with humanity and culture.” He is part of the “Bangkok Photography Rambles.”
