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 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.
