This is Russ.

portrait AND conceptual PHOTOGRAPHER

Although my work encompasses a variety of styles, I most enjoy being behind the camera, looking through the lens to capture mere fractions of a second—creating a narrative and imagery that tells a story.

I constantly push and challenge myself to grow through experimentation and persistence, continually asking “what if?”

Style


This is both the most difficult and yet, a simple thing for a photographer to describe. Style changes as we grow and experience the world. Since the very beginning, I have tested the limits of my craft, learning, developing and defining a style that is truly unique to only me. Currently, I would describe my style in 3 words: dark, colorful and inquisitive.

Experience


For more than 20 years, photography has led me to places like none other, creatively, mentally and physically. Though it is not my primary profession, photography is what started it all. From shooting events in college, to creating thoughtful and sometimes other-worldly images, photography and photoshop have always been at the root of my creative expression.
