Portrait by Kevin Nelson Photo
Hello, I'm Ralph (he/him)
I'm a film photographer 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 HOLGA 120N or 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
If I approached you to shoot with me, either by asking you verbally or giving you my business card, I will cover ALL costs for a one hour digital shoot.
Sessions will be shot at a place of your choosing, preferably a location with available light. Studio Space may be used at an additional $100 an hour. 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 on film using a HOLGA 120N or PENTAX 6X7, with some additional 17mm film shots (no extra charge). All film photos will be edited and given to you. All digital photos will be presented to you in a lo-res, watermarked version. You can pick up to 25 of your favorite digital photos and I will edit and retouch them for you. Feel free to email me for availability at ralphapelphotography@gmail.com
