Ricardo Dumsch is a Photography student at the University of Applied Sciences in Dortmund, currently preparing for his Bachelor's degree. After completing training in portrait photography, he has since specialized in corporate photography.

Ricardo is deeply engaged with photography in all its facets – promoting it, presenting it, and reflecting on it. He gained valuable insights into editorial photography during an internship at Stern, which strengthened his skills in clear communication and efficient team management. These experiences have fueled his ambition to advance into production roles, where his strengths in structured team leadership and goal-oriented collaboration can shine.

Since 2023, Ricardo has been an active member of the "Runde Ecke", a creative collective of photography students. The group organizes events that enrich the photography scene in NRW by fostering connection, inspiration, and exchange. Ricardo contributes significantly to the project, managing marketing, content creation, moderation, and speaker relations for the Dortmund symposium series.

Ricardo's focus lies in creating formats that make photography accessible and engaging, tailored to the needs and interests of the audience. His involvement with the "Runde Ecke" has further reinforced the importance of networking and community building – key aspects he prioritizes in his work. Of course, he also photographs with great passion, as practice remains the foundation of everything he does.
