Riko Best

Passionate filter photographer

I'm Riko Best – photographer, YouTuber, author, and developer of the LC PRO 100 filter system. I've been passionately dedicated to photography for over 20 years – from analog black-and-white development to modern techniques like long exposure, focus stacking, and the targeted use of optical filters.

My greatest passion is landscape photography: I'm fascinated by capturing moods, using light purposefully, and using filters to reveal what the eye would otherwise miss. I've published several specialist books, travel to remote regions for documentaries, and share my knowledge in workshops and lectures.

For me, it's never just about technique. It's about the magic of the moment. About the golden light in the morning. About the expanse of a valley. About silence, perspective, and images that touch.

At my workshops, you can test the LC PRO 100 filter system for free and experience for yourself how simple and effective filter photography can be.
