Fine art portrait photographer, videographer and author.
Write The Vision
Stéphane Parker, professionally known as Raymond Carlos, is a published fine art portrait photographer, videographer and author. Parker began writing short stories and poems at the young age of 5. Enamored with writing, Parker continued with his childhood passion of story-telling and started his own publishing company, Imperative Publishing. Parker's first published book, Eternal Kiss, is a rhyming romantic novel accompanied by magnificent imagery as well as Voir: A Photographic Perspective, his latest published work where Parker lends his suggestive description on how life is to be lived, felt, and savored like any fine art should, are both published under Imperative Publishing.
Parker is the owner of the Raymond Carlos Photography Group— a digital platform focused on educational development for photographers and videographers. He is also the Director of Photography at GoRealer Imaging Solutions— a team of writers and photographers who specialize in artistic storytelling.
With years of experience in modeling, content creation, and entrepreneurship, Lauren has gathered a wealth of knowledge in her professional journey and enjoys sharing her professional opinion and advice on branding, website development, creative direction, and collaboration.
A Photographic Perspective
Parker’s photographic voice, much like his reportage, exudes a sensual creativity that entering Portraiture has allowed him to explore and express for 15 years, producing images that tell a story thanks to his fluid techniques and in-the-moment sessions that capture his unique signature.
