Just some South Carolina Sunset pics for you.

One of the Portia 400 Film shots with Hannah, shot on my Pentax K1000. Film is an expensive medium. I feel like making the investment to shoot it has made me a better photographer. More mindful and more deliberate. And it just gives images so much more depth than digital. . . Model: @hannahsharriee_ . . .

It’s a Madi Monday! This was one of the many sets we’ve shot over the last 2 years that was just a spur of the moment, “Hey, I’ve been wanting to shoot this outfit, can we do something with it?” sets. I know many people see boudoir as an “In the bedroom, only.” genre’s but I consider boudoir as “Private moments in a personal space wearing lingerie.” focused. So this is, for me a boudoir shot. I like to play outside the box and challenge genre’s whenever I can. If that speaks to you it may be time to book a boudoir shoot with me. . . Model: @mannequinmadi . . .

Y’all know I have 3 photography books available to purchase? This is “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Corona: An Artist’s Guide to Surviving the Plague” it’s a journal of the 40 Virtual Shoots I did through the Covid Lockdown from April 11- June 1 of 2020. Includes shoots with over 30 models across 16 states and 2 countries. But this is more than just photos. I describe my process, what worked, what didn’t, and I talk about how I connected with or knew about the models that I worked with. I spent 3 months laying out the book and even worked with a professional editor. It was a true labor of love. If you like my work and are curious about my creative process it’s written in a way that non-photographers can enjoy and photographers who are interested in trying their own virtual shoots can learn from my mistakes and benefit from my experience. DM me if you’re interested in purchasing. . . #photography #art #virtual #virtualshoot #virtualphotography #facetime #facetimeshoot #skype #skypeshoot #photographybook #photobook #book #photo #selfpublished #educational #learn #model #modelphotography #artphotography

Fine Art Sculpture set with Kenya. The fine art genre is a broad genre of photography, it’s like the “black” of colors it can match with just about anything. The way I look at fine art photography is to take the models engagement with the audience out of the image, to focus on the shapes within the image rather than a sexualization of the model in the image. In that way I can use various backgrounds and lighting techniques to fit within the genre. More of this implied set in other places. . . Model: @kenya.leyva . . .

It’s #ridayfriday ! I will be seeing this incredible woman tomorrow night and I cannot wait! I had no idea what I was getting into when deciding to build a relationship with Riann. I thought I had an idea and boy was I wrong. It has been a great challenge and an even greater joy bringing her into my life as a partner, lover, and friend. I look forward to the unknown and cherish every thing that comes with her in my life. . . Model: @riann.nova_model . . .

For shits and giggles. The very first Virtual shoot I ever did. To see how far my virtual work has progressed is incredible. I’m still super proud of this shoot with Corey and there are a lot of images I truly love. See more in my book “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Corona: An Artist’s Guide to Surviving the Plague” Available through my website at the link above or DM me for other purchase options. . .

Throwback Thursday to this Woodland Fairy set Kara and I created. I pride myself on being able to capture the image I see in my head in the camera rather than rely on editing, however, this set is one that I designed with editing in mind. When you work with me about 20% of the time the image out of the camera will look nothing like the the final edit, and that is intentional. See more from this set @rdwalkerfineart & the other place. Swipe to see the out of camera image without edit, crop only. . . Model: @goddamnartist . . .

Wishing IG was like the Wild West for Artists but we have to damage our own art for it to be seen by others and even then we are risking the loss of our platform with each post. See my damaged art @rdwalkerfineart or you know where to find the undamaged art. 😉 . . Model: @alisun.xo . . .

In case you didn’t know, it’s time to book a shoot with me. You know you’ve asked yourself a time or two about taking the step, creating a piece of art that is yours that you can be proud of, or to take back ownership of the body you’re in. Own your power, own your sexuality, own the beauty that you know is there but you may struggle to see when you look in the mirror. DM me and let’s discuss ideas and a rate that will work within your budget. . .

New Film and Instant Film Scans with Meagan. I have had a desire and attraction to photography since 6th grade when my science teacher Mr. Martin taught us how to develop our own film (knowledge which I have forgotten over the last 30 years), but because film was so expensive and digital was so expensive when it first came out I never invested in it. But now I am, and I’m learning to process my own film. So when you book with me, you can add on a roll of bnw or color film, a pack of Polaroids or Instax to your shoot. DM to inquire. . .
