Richard Faverty founded Beckett Studios in Chicago, Illinois in 1972. A newspaper photographer in the 1960s, a freelance editorial photographer in the 1970s, a corporate/industrial photographer in the 1980s and a web designer in the 1990's, Richard has vast experience working for major magazines and Fortune 500 companies. His personable style and an eye for the unusual moment has made him a popular choice for 
location and studio assignments involving people from all walks of life.

Beckett Studios, along with its founder, re-located to Las Vegas, Nevada in 2000 and re-configured its technical approach to photography. Richard now shoots and delivers pictures with the latest digital equipment and combines the best techniques of traditional film-based photography with the most up-to-date methods of digital delivery. His comfortable studio, conveniently located right off the Las Vegas strip, is designed to provide high quality photography with the utmost efficiency.
