Portrait by Kevin Nelson Photo
Hello, it's Ralph (he/him)
I'm a film photographer who's currently building my portrait portfolio. I'm based in Orange County, CA but am willing to travel anywhere within freeway distance. I'm searching for female, male and non-binary models. I'm interested in doing anything from pinups to fashion and editorial. I'm shy about shooting boudoir and nudes, but am not against it. I prefer to shoot in available, natural light with a medium format Pentax 6X7 film camera. I have also been dabbling in digital photography with my Canon 5D Mark III.
If you're interested doing a photo shoot, email me at ralphapelphotography@gmail.com or fill out the contact form on this page.

2026 RATES
Photography set to be done at a location agreed upon, preferably a location with available light. Studio Space may be used at an additional charge. Film sessions usually take about two hours. I will not charge extra if session goes slightly over due to having fun. All sessions will be shot either on film using a Pentax 6x7, with some additional 35mm shots (no extra charge), or digitally on a Canon 5D Mark III. All film photos will be edited and presented to you. All digital photos will be presented to you in a lo-res, watermarked version. You can pick up to 12 of your favorite digital photos and I will edit and retouch them for you. I'm available on weekends as a special request (no up-charge). Feel free to email me for availability at ralphapelphotography@gmail.com
