ABOUT
A graduate of School of Visual Arts' BFA Photography program; Rayon Richards' work was first published in 2001 at the end of his freshman year. 22 years later, he has amassed an extensive body of work and an impressive list of clients including House Beautiful Magazine, Architectural Digest, MTV Networks, Sony Music, Footlocker, Lincoln Motor Company, Ciroc Vodka and Soho House.
Rayon’s work is primarily split between his two passions: people & places. As a portrait and interior design photographer, he finds his greatest joy in connecting with people and documenting the spaces that we inhabit. When asked what he'd do for a living if he wasn't a photographer, he replied that he would have pursued a career as an interior designer or a psychologist.
A believer that all photographers should photograph what they admire most, he focuses on the beauty he sees in homes and humans and loves every minute of it.
He currently resides in his hometown, Brooklyn NY, where he also writes, paints, illustrates, and enjoys a plethora of fine art mediums that led him to photography.
