A world filled with photographs has only a handful of photographers who know how to capture the rhythm of modern life, turning still moments into visual motion. R Photos & Media, which has been around only since 2017, is one of the most kinetic visual brands in Charlotte and Concord, North Carolina. Quite a bit of its visual currency is built on compelling street photography, with the brand also delving into car photography and layering that into a growing focus on fashion and travel photography.
Working under the handle @iam_rphotosmedia, this business shows a passion for capturing the culture that pulses through the streets of our cities and the racetracks we frequent. Whether it’s a sleek ride under neon lights or a moment made for the sidewalk runway in downtown Charlotte, R Photos brings together moments and images with an elegance and edge that’s truly its own.
Specialties That Set R Photos Apart
What makes R Photos & Media unique is its capacity to transcend genres while preserving a recognizable aesthetic: striking, unobtrusive, and elegant. Its present areas of expertise are:
Automobile Photography – Having a sharp concentration on detail and dynamism, R Photos doesn’t merely shoot motor vehicles as they seem to be, but rather as high-art sculptures raining down energy in every frame.
Street Photography – R Photos captures the gritty reality of urban life. Graffiti-strewn walls provide the backdrop for the expressive faces that fill the frames of these shots. The photographer has a talent for winnowing the workaday crowd down to the irresistible few. This work has both a documentary and editorial feel, the difference being that the former shows life as it is while the latter shows life as the photographer wants you to see it.
Coming Soon – Attachment by ReStyle. The next step.
The next step for R Photos is style. Expect photo shoots that merge couture with concrete, bringing our models into gritty, real-world environments for editorial-level results.
Travel in the Near Future – With an ambitious programme of expansion planned, this studio of art and ideas aims to depict in its inimitable style a world of differing perspectives, adding to its already extensive visual vocabulary the landscapes and cultures of far-flung corners of the earth.
More Than a Photographer—A Visual Brand
R Photos & Media has done more than just assemble a portfolio since its launch; it has established itself. Each post on its Instagram account is painstakingly produced, serving up to the viewer a near experience of automotive culture, street fashion, and soon enough, something that will feel like global exploration. It is no wonder, then, that the work seems to be picking up steam in Charlotte’s creative scene.
So whether you want visuals for your brand that are sharp and cinematic, or you’re just keen to follow a creative who’s really redoing street and car photography, R Photos & Media is a name to remember.
