DEKALB COUNTY, ALA. - Natural Light Photography, LLC now has a photography
studio at the Moon Lake Village, located at 5866 E. River Road, Mentone.
Richard "Rich" Rybka is the proprietor/photographer. "I've been involved in
photography since the seventies," said Rybka.  His work can be seen in
printed media sources such as Discover Magazine, a science and technology
news magazine.

On Saturday, October 22, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Rybka will host a
nature photography workshop at the Jacksonville State University Little
River Canyon Center in Fort Payne. The workshop is designed for students
with minimal to basic photography skills. A digital single-lens reflex
(DSLR) camera or a mirrorless camera with a removable SD card is required.

The workshop will include an indoor presentation and time-taking photos in
the Little River Canyon National Preserve. Hikes are short and easy to

Fort Payne.

The new studio in Mentone offers business branding photos, family, and
portrait photoshoots at the studio or at local scenic locations. "The new
location has great lighting with many windows giving northern exposure for
wonderful natural lighting," said Rybka. "However, if someone wants pictures
taken at the local falls, their cabin, or some other scenic spot, I'm
on board with that as well."

Rybka has a long portfolio of recording documentation for businesses.
"Whenever I'm taking pictures for a business my goal is to capture the
essence of the business to showcase it," said Rybka. With the upsurge of
online businesses, many business owners seek photo shots for their
websites and social media advertisements. Natural Light Photography is
available to provide digital downloads as well as prints-to-go.
