2. How did you get into fashion photography?

R: I got my first camera when I was 8 years old. It was a little olympus film camera and I took it everywhere. Started taking pictures of landscapes, then close up flowers, then my sister and now models.

3. Talk us through your inspirations and photographic style...

R: I’m heavily inspired by surrealist artists [such] as Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dali. My work isn’t inspired by other photographers, but by painters.

4. I had fun on your set earlier this year. What techniques are you experimenting with currently?

R: I’m currently experimenting with shadows and gels. I’ve always kind of shot with gels here and there, but I’m trying to expand my knowledge.

R: Probably every project I’ve done with my muse, Miss Paige Tyson Sims

6. Can you describe your dream shoot in detail?
