"When digital photography first arrived,
there was a concern that the new technology would somehow make a mockery of the hard work of
traditional photographers ...

Instead there has been a division into two strata
- traditional photographers are utilizing the new technology
to more effectively enhance the final image,
leading to a co-mingling of old and new.

The other stratum represents an entirely new medium.
- artists are using digital technology to create
photo-based images that must be seen as
extensions of classic surrealism."

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I like the non-apparent view of space around me. As a photographer, my preference tends to be surrealistic and fine-art. Sometimes I use 'broad-spectrum' digital, allowing the camera to see more energy than what the eye senses. My emphasis is on fine art work with men.

PROJECTS THAT I'M INTO:
ART / CASUAL / (NON-PORN) NUDE,SEMI-NUDE,PARTS MODELING / SOCIO-POLITICAL MODELING

Current art projects can be found at:
RichardLYoung.com Gallery > Exploratory Projects

TEST SHOOTS / MODEL PAID / PHOTOGRAPHER PAID
Do I pay a model for a session?
Yes, under certain conditions. I may assist with expenses. I may pay a flat rate. I may pay an hourly rate. It depends on if the photoshoot is "to spec" meeting a requirement by a 3rd party client.

Do I get paid for a session?
Yes, this is the normal condition.
If you are looking for photos for use in your portfolio, for your own project, or for personal use, I will be glad to give you a quote.

Do I do free sessions?
Yes, under certain conditions. You need to ask.
I have multiple projects that require models and some of them may give you material for your portfolio in exchange for your time. If you might be interested, drop me a note and I can let you know what projects are coming up.

FRIEND REQUESTS:
Please keep in mind that a friend request is reserved for those that interact with me or contribute something meaningful. If I receive comments, critiques, or tags that are more than two words then in most cases I will gladly add you as a friend. Blind requests with no communication many times are ignored.

Hello, I really like your pictures. I will be in Portland the week of the 15th of March and was wondering if you had any paid shoots coming up around that time? I am traveling on business and want to fill my time with artistic photographers like yourself. Please let me know if you are interested. Have a great day!

Thanks for the comment, Richard.

I'm working on my expressions. The picture never quite captures what I think my face is saying so I'm trying to figure out how to improve that, haha!

Thankyou so much for the amazing tag! Your work definitely effects as well. When i look at the one as your default it def conjures a sense of sadness but also a slight sort of suppressed anger and danger. very emotive! i cant wait to see more!

Innovative & fresh are understatements for the work portrayed. Human form sseminly used to create abstract art!!

Love the port
