I live in a tall, right handed world, to which I am neither. Therefore, I adapt quickly.

Californian claiming to be a Southerner, recently left the big city of New York for some mountain living in Colorado.

Now for the technical part people want to know. I shoot with a Canon 5D (with battery grip), Canon 20D (with the battery grip) 17-40L lens, 24-70 2.8L lens, 70-200L, 50mm 1.4, 60mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8, 580EX flash an Alien Bee and that's about it for now until more money magically comes my way. :)

I like how Andre Kertesz explained, "You don't see the things you photograph, you feel them."

Photo credit and design by Kirsten Wylie otherwise known as "Baby Dove" Hey, look her testimonial is to the right.

Testimonials (4)

Ryan Brenizer says:

"It's downright silly that I haven't written a testimonial for Rachel yet. I've enjoyed her photos the entire time she's been at Flickr and longer. You can see not just her love of photography but her heartfelt love of light from the way she captures her subjects, especially children. Kids are smart; they don't open up to people, especially people carrying cameras, unless they sense a good soul like Rachel's. It doesn't hurt that she also has a wonderful sense of composition, whether she's taking photos for an event or just having fun in her apartment."

Ben Harris-Roxas says:

"Rachel's photos, from my perspective, seem to be reflective of her personality: fun, expressive, playful, sensual, sometimes introspective, vey occasionally sad, but mostly full of wonder.

I'm aware that these testimonials often read like some sort of sleazy come-on so I'll try to keep the superlatives to a minimum. Instead I'll suggest that you do two things:

1. Take a look at her "Portfolio" and "My Favourties" sets - you'll be impressed.

2. Add her as a contact - so you don't miss out on all the great photos to come."

Baby Dove says:

"Rachel is a dear friend of mine, and is also one of my favorite photographers. And every time I turn around, she has taken another shot that just blows everything else out of the water. She has an amazing knack at working with people, and is also quite the artist, which makes for a fantastic quality in her photographs."

TheSteffers says:

"If there ever was anyone who was meant to do this for a living, it's Rachel. And she is on her way. She can do stock, she can do art, she can capture the best candids around. One day I *will* say I knew her when. It's just a matter of time. And not that much time either."
