She shoots events with two speedlites (on-camera flash system) with various adaptors (Gary Fong) and light stand with an umbrella as the main light source.

Rita is a photojournalistic photographer. She believes that the unposed portrait has the perfect balance of personality and inner beauty. While portraiture and headshots may require more guidance, she shoots weddings with minimal guidance, allowing the couple to be absorbed in the joys of their wedding day without having to satiate the photographer’s needs.
