Kelly Rickards
is a Swiss photographer based near Lausanne in Switzerland.
She graduated from the Vevey School of Photography in 2019 and then completed a commercial employee degree in 2022.
After several years of producing photographs for businesses and private clients, creating a range of commercial images, she decided in 2025 to step away from commissioned work to focus entirely on her personal photographic practice.
Her work is now centered on long-term personal projects and an independent exploration of the photographic medium.
She takes inspiration from photographers such as Vivian Maier, William Eggleston and Stephen Shore.
