Within the Image - Photography by Rick Scalzo

"Within the Image is a fantastic company who is focused on catching the glimpse of everyday life. Rick is the best photographer I have ever met. His ideas and creativity is outstanding. Taking out of the ordinary scenery and making it into art is awesome. I enjoy working with Rick and his business. I am 100% satisfied with the end result as it helps me build my modeling portfolio for my future. Thank you Rick for helping me with my success in my career. You are the best!"

"Rick was a great pleasure to work with, he took the time to listen to us and some of the things that we specifically wanted. We never felt rushed, like we were taking to much time, he made us feel very comfortable. The pictures came out great and we used multiple shots for different things. Thanks Rick!” - Kasey

“We loved having our engagement photo session with Rick! Rick spent a lot of time with us and let us just "be us". We both felt so comfortable and had a lot of fun. Some of the pics were 'posed' and those looked great, too!”

“We were fortunate to engage Rick Scalzo to take pictures of our Galena, Illinois Bed and Breakfast. We gave Rick free range of the Mansion. He was outdoors at sunset and again at sunrise to be sure to capture the different lighting available for his shots. The pictures of our grounds are amazing. Taking pictures of the rooms is very difficult. Rick was able to show each room with it's unique features. Rick provided us with a DVD of all the pictures he took. This allow us to go through and pick our favorites. He also printed some very special pics for us to keep. Rick is well on his way to becoming a very high in demand photographer. Book him now!”

“When I wanted to capture photos of my kids in a fun setting, Rick knew exactly what I wanted. He followed my kids around as they laughed and played. What amazing photos! One that I love looks like my daughter is a model for a clothing catalog. He truly captured not only the image of my children, but their personality as well.” - Tammy

“It was great working with Rick. He took a lot of time with us to make sure we got every shot we wanted of our new little boy. With so many great pictures taken, it was difficult to choose our favorites! We will treasure these beautiful keepsakes forever. Thank you for photographing our new family! “- Natalie

“Rick photographed our engagement pictures as well as our wedding. He did a fantastic job of listening to us to capture exactly the images we wanted. His eye for placement and scenery is outstanding. Our pictures came out awesome! My father-in-law even said Rick seemed to be "everywhere" at just the right moments catching all of the important details on film. I couldn't be more grateful for Rick's hard work. The editing of our photos was second to none as well. We got exactly what we wanted and more!” - Megan
