I Am Rafael ruiz
And here IS MY STORY
Ever since i was young I have always had a passion for photography. Growing up in The Bronx and traveling in and out of the city everyday for work and school, There was always street art and photogenic inspiration all around that made it easy for me to be creative. In 2007 I went to Katharine Gibbs N.Y where i studied (Digital Media & Communications) and in 2009 graduated with my Associate's Degree in Applied science.
After working in Retail and then the financial field for over 9 years i kind of put my passion for photography in the back burner. Once the Covid pandemic hit i unfortunately lost my job but was fortunate to gain the time to invest in myself and my craft for photo taking. With doing so i came up with my photography business V.I.P-Vivid Inspired Photography. The name comes from my own vivid perspective of life. Since I love to travel the world and seek different adventures I love to soak in every experience all while being inspired and capturing life's most beautiful , colorful and darkest moments all through the lens of my camera.
My Philosophy
When working with my clients.When clients book with me, I like to be really open to new and creative ideas. Communication is always important to me when interacting with my clients regarding themes,colors,props and their overall vision for their shoot and encourage them to be as comfortable and creative as they would like.
