Reed Decker

My name is Reed Decker. I am a photographer originally from Southern CA. Growing up I always surrounded by creativity. Photographers, a director, a rockstar, artists, authors, explorers all make up the pedigree of a wildly creative family. There was never any pressure to pursue a creative field or endeavor. It was an organic manifestation to continue the family legacy to create that was always more of an honor than an obligation. I've always been a very curious person and found the camera as a remarkable tool to literally stop time in its place. That has always fascinated me...

While studying photography I learned the power of light and shadow to shape a subject. Using light naturally and/or artificially, to create depth, mood, and drama when capturing the essence of people and places.

My photographic style is influenced from an eclectic mix of fashion, hip-hop, street, and portrait photography. I always strive to bring out a subdued intensity in all my subjects whether shooting an athlete, rapper, dancer, or even an animal or landscape.
