RAW Talent with Raymond Alva

Portrait and documentary photographer Raymond Alva, or Rap – short for Rapberry – as he’s been known since the 4th grade, wants to challenge people to look at each other in new ways; to create understanding between different groups. In this month’s RAW Talent, the recent graduate gives us a look at how he is taking the plunge into the world of professional photography after his studies and using his education and personal interests to explore hidden stories within street culture, fashion, and music. How did you get into photography? I first got introduced to stills back in 2014 at a summer camp I went to. Some older campers I knew had cameras and I was immediately interested in what they were doing. About a year later, I got my first camera from my parents for my birthday, and I’ve been shooting ever since. You studied photography at California Baptist University. How was that?

Working as a beauty and product photographer for over a decade – product photography is her bread and butter, as she puts it– Taylor works with clients all …

  Alicia Berardelli’s own athletic background and passion for sports are impossible to miss in her work. With a graphic and dynamic style of composition playing with light and shadows for added dramatic effect, Alicia uses her camera and her own experience to create a bond with her subjects to showcase their skills and dedication to the sports they do. In this edition of RAW Talent, the recently graduated, California-based photographer tells us about her path to sports photography and what she thinks it takes to get the perfect action shot. Tell us a bit about yourself. Essentially, I have an obsession with light. The way it falls, the shadows it makes, its ability to paint and sculpt, to show emotion, to empower, to change meaning, and illuminate. I channel my love of movement into creating narrative imagery that captures my subjects in dynamic and clean ways that emphasize their talents, stories, and the beauty of individuality. When I’m not climbing up something during a shoot, you can find me running somewhere near the ocean, …
