Kiko Ricote is a professional photographer based in Miami, working with multinational businesses around the world to capture industrial and commercial photos with vivid creativity and distinctive energy.

As an industrial photographer, Kiko takes a unique approach to every photo shoot so that each company, product and brand is displayed in a distinctive way. This may include taking photos from unique vantage points or angles, using shapes and natural frames to create focal points, or creating movement. Careful staging or positioning around a worksite may also make the difference between standard industrial photos or photos showcasing a contemporary edge and powerful vision.

Kiko also uses filters, technical editing and other photo manipulation effects to combine photos, highlight certain areas, or even create unique, eye-catching scenes that traditional photography cannot accomplish on its own.

"Your business photography shoot will be arranged around the type of photos you are looking for, whether you need photos for B2B brochures, a conference or industry event, B2C advertisements, or magazine advertisements."
