Big fan of Rachel Papo’s work – I always get excited when I see one of her photos in a magazine (or, on the web of course). See more, here.

Thanks for sharing Rachel’s work – her photos envelop me as a viewer. Her use of available light and the clear evidence of her subjects comfort levels are inspiring. The way she finds light, it’s as if her work is saying that in everyday life the light is just this cinematic. Maybe in her life it is, that makes me jealous.

Hi Don,
Thanks for your comment. Rachel’s work is pretty amazing, her use of available light is incredible and she really tells a story with her pictures. I’m pretty jealous of those abilities, too!
