philosophy 101

In a world where everyone has a camera, and where everyone is a “photographer”, why do you even need a professional photographer, much less hire one?  Because anyone can take a photograph, but not everyone can capture a moment, not everyone can capture a memory.

Photography, and the art of photography, are so much more than just taking a photograph.  It’s recording time, it’s writing a story, and it’s documenting a moment in time by incorporating the knowledge and skills of photography, it’s the art of the composition that’s used to achieve and make an image that not just anyone  can create.  It’s just not as simple as taking a photograph.

At Rachelle R Photography, my photography work is based on a different perspective, a unique vision.  A perspective and vision that’s built on over 25 years as a professional artist, a bachelor’s degree in Architecture, my experience as a graphic designer, and my knowledge as a photographer.

It’s seeing the world and composing images, spaces and moments of time, through that unique vision and perspective that ultimately, sets me apart from other photographers.

Architecture is said to be the mother of all arts because one can physically walk and  fully experience a space.  In photography, one obviously cannot walk and physically experience that moment in time again, but through the art of photography, we can emotionally experience the space and moment in time the image was taken by recording the emotion, by telling the story, and capturing the moment through the image’s overall composition.  Through photography and the art of photography, we can preserve the memory, and we can build legacies in the memories that we cherish.

So not just any photograph, but rather an everlasting memory.
