Richard Calvo has been winning awards for his photography since the mid-1960's when, as an Army Combat Correspondent, he photographed and reported on U.S. military operations in Vietnam. Although his education had prepared him as a journalist, it was his camera that brought him greater recognition, and so by the early 70's Calvo put his writing aside to make his way as a fine art photographer.
Primarily concerned with landscapes, Richard Calvo's work has been compared to those of Robert Frost and Andrew Wyeth… that is, as having a deceptively simple style which becomes a vehicle for a more complex and demanding sense of reality. At times his photography is contemplative and silent and is said to reawaken the lost art of being alone, while at other times it is graphically evocative, conjuring familiar images from the subtle harmonies of nature.
