Throughout the last 41 years Russell has worked primarily as an event and portrait ph
otographer but has also done a great deal of travel and fine art photography. Russell's photographic style is a journalistic approach to positive reality. He excels at candidly capturing precise moments of the real emotions and the inner beauty of people in primarily naturally lit environments.
“This is my goal; to always look for beauty and to help my world to see it too. Most people need to be shown the created wonder of their milieu and even of themselves. It is only when we meet the true source of everything good that we can jump into the River of Joy that will heal and transform our hearts and our world... into living things!” Russell specializes in spontaneous and candid event and portrait photography in primarily naturally lilt environments that capture the distinct flavors of personality and emotion in a person, family or gathering. He also does a great deal of landscape and cityscape work as well as travel and fine art photography.
