“A native Californian, born in Los Angeles of Italian descent. Self-taught, photography has been a passion dating back to his earliest years.

Richard comes from a close-knit creative family of diverse talents.
Because of a physical infirmity, he retired early from the workforce,
enabling a more complete devotion to photography.

Richard Roth presently resides in Long Beach.”
