Photography – St. Louis

I am Boo Radley. I have been hoarding/hiding my work & myself from the world for 14 years. I am self taught. Hands on trial and error. I have been the photographer, developer, model, and spirit of my work for years. I learned how to photograph people by photographing myself.I think to be an amazing photographer you must have experience in front and behind the camera...a complete balance from every realm of the craft. I like images to be captivating right out of the camera. I thrive for greatness in ALL the photos I take. Each hold a story or moral that are ment to inspire or make a mind wonder. I LOVE photographing subjects that have no experience in modeling. Its so fresh and new, an innocence almost. My next favorite subject is My Mother Earth. Totally wicked and raw and unpredictable, AMAZING. I took a giant leap of faith and came out of hiding to share some photos. That is why I am here. I have a hard time choosing photos to exhibit because I am my worst enemy. Its like letting the whole world read your diary. It\'s so RAW!!! ***************************************************** I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER BECAUSE ITS MY PASSION, MY GIFT FROM GOD. I DON\'T THRIVE TO BE FAMOUS OR WELL KNOWN. I EXHIBIT MY WORK TO INSPIRE. I EXHIBIT MY WORK BECAUSE IT IS MY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION...EXPRESSION OF MY INNER MIND AND SOUL. *******************************************************************
