In 1987 Rivoli decided to pursue photojournalism. He taught himself how to shoot and landed his first full-time job at The Citizen in Auburn, New York, in 1988. In 1989 he was selected to attend the prestigious Eddie Adams II Workshop. That same year he was also was named National Press Photographers Association's Region 2 Photographer of the Year. Since then, Rivoli has won numerous state and national photo awards, including Region 2's POY again in 1991 and the New York State Associated Press Bruce Cromie Award in 1999. After eight years in Auburn, Rivoli became an assistant photo editor in Rochester, N.Y. In 2000 he decided to return to shooting as a full-time freelancer, with a client list that includes the A.P., the New York Times, and USA Today, among others.
While he loves photographing major sporting events and famous figures, one of his passions has always been photographing ordinary people doing ordinary things.
