Rick Pushinsky

Trained in architecture and fine art, Rick Pushinsky initially pursued a career as a painter and worked as a freelance picture editor until he first picked up a camera and found his true calling. Over the last 10 years, he has become one of the most accomplished editorial portrait photographers in London, shooting the likes of Tracey Emin and Noel Fielding for the Telegraph, Ron Arad and Erdem for the FT, Julia Donaldson for the Independent, and the great and good of modern British fashion for titles including Vogue and Sunday Times Style. Alongside his work in print, Rick has undertaken commissions for the likes of Chatsworth House, River Cottage and the Cameron family, while also pursuing his own creative projects. In 2016, his book Songs of Innocence and Experience: A Study Guide was published by Sternthal Books, containing Rick’s visual response to the poetic works of William Blake as presented in the study guide written by the educator Francis Gilbert. (Limited editions prints from Rick’s Songs of Innocence series are currently available to buy on The Z List.) His next project is a series of photographic recipe cards – a tribute to the life and cooking of his father, Steven Morris.

Zetteler have been big fans of both Rick the human and Rick the photographer since our paths crossed some time in 2014, so we were hugely excited to have the chance to support him in the launch of his recipe card project. Combining food, beautifully imaginative imagery and a compelling family story, it ticks all our boxes and then some.
