PHOTOGRAPHER | OLYMPIA, WA
RUSSELL MOORE
I’m here for photos that feel honest.
Not stiff. Not generic.
Commercial work, seniors, athletes—sessions where you can relax and still get images you’re proud to use.
I’m Russell (he/they), a photographer in Olympia, WA. I mix strong craft with practical web habits—things like clear filenames and alt text—so your pictures aren’t just pretty, they’re usable. I’m also GA4 certified, which helps when we want to see how your site behaves after new work goes live.
Track record. I’ve helped grow an audience from zero to over 350,000 subscribers—same focus on clarity and consistency I bring to shoots for local businesses and families.
Access. Great photos shouldn’t only be for big budgets. I use pay-what-you-can options for marginalized communities; commercial work helps fund that time.
Everyone deserves
a great photo.
Photography can be a stretch for some budgets. I run a one-for-one model: commercial bookings help fund headshots and portraits for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ community members who need visibility.
"Finally, a headshot where I didn't feel like I had to tone down who I am."
Recent project: branding portraits for local BIPOC creatives.
