Randy R.

Washington

Sony A7R II, Sony A7R IV

I've had a passion for creative arts ever since I was a child. At an early age, I would pick up my saxophone and try my best to jam out with my father and uncle . Throughout my teenage years, I was arranging and producing music as a hobby. My interest in photography peaked during my senior year at George Mason University (GMU), while I was taking a photography course. I was amazed and fell in love with the process of being able to capture human expressions and emotions down to the millisecond. After graduating from GMU with a bachelor in Information Systems & Operations Management, I decided to expand my knowledge in the art of photography through books, attending seminars and shadowing local professional photographers at weddings and portrait sessions.

Gent S.

Washington

Canon EOS R6, Canon EOS 6D

I took up photography when I was studying journalism in college as I found it was a much more expressive way to tell a story, connect with people, and be a witness to important moments in people’s lives. I have more than two decades of experience working with international news agencies and my photographs have been published in many leading world newspapers. I have also extensive experience in working with corporate events, sports, and feature photographs of nature, including drone photography. From world-newsworthy events to events that are important to you and your loved ones, I have covered them all with the same degree of passion and attention to detail.

We had a great experience with Muhammad. We booked him for headshots at our office and he produced exactly what we were looking for. He was professional, efficient, and gave excellent direction. I would highly recommend booking him for professional headshots.
— Raisa S
A wonderful photographer all around- he made sure we were comfortable with our poses and had an incredible intuition finding locations with the most flattering lighting. Muhammad also made sure to show us pictures in between so we knew what angles and styles we wanted, and could change accordingly. His friendliness and willingness to help us throughout poses made it a wonderful session. I would not hesitate to work with him again, as my group had such a great time during the photoshoot.

— La’Tise T
Our daughter wanted a photo shoot at her Prom send off and Mark did a wonderful job. He arrived early to accommodate the limo pick up time and it was an unhurried, relaxed, enjoyable time. Mark wanted to capture the sunlight and beautiful background outside near a weeping willow tree and he was extremely patient with our family and her friends who were included in multiple photos. When I wanted a particular backdrop of a fairyland included - he made it even more special by adding an arm chair, a throw and created a scenario so she could know how to pose. Our daughter was very comfortable and extremely happy! Thank you so very much Mark for making her day memorable and capturing it for a lifetime!
— Jodi B

How did you get started with photography

I was on my honeymoon and I remember taking some photos of dilapidated boats against the sunset. I forgot about the images until I came home. My wife had the film roles developed and commented on how good the images looked. 2 years later I enrolled in a professional program for "fun", and since then I have won exhibit contests, been published and been paid for my work.

What do you love about your job?

There are two things I love about my work. First, I get paid for capturing beauty in the ordinary. And second, my work has been seen by thousands of people.

What are some of your favorite places in Washington to take photographs?

I love photographing at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna. The place is full of beautiful backdrops. I also like photographing against rustic backgrounds like old farms or industrial buildings. The contrast makes the subjects pop.
