I'm a novelist who also happens to be a photographer!

STRENGTHS: Striking, artistic photos of faces. Professional head shots. Artistic nudes. Editorial. Fitness.

EMERGING: Events. Sports.

Sadly, I am not interested in weddings or engagement shoots.

ARTIST'S STATEMENT: Since my primary love is writing fiction, it's no surprise that I use photography to tell stories. I believe that the body, the face, and the clothes (or lack thereof) are enough to tell a complete story, whether it is the nude shoot of an expectant couple, or a model struggling to scratch off the tattoo reminding her of an ex-lover. I believe in as little retouching as possible. That's not to say I won't play around with brightness or saturation, because I will. But I enjoy seeing details in faces, down to the tiny triangles that make up our skin.

COMPENSATION: Because my rates are extremely reasonable, I prefer paid shoots at this point. However, if there is a particular model I want to work with, I will reach out with a TF proposal. Similarly, I am open to hearing your proposal.

CONTACT: Please contact me at RD @rashiddarden.com and will get back to you within a day or two.
