Rachael Nerney is a Charleston-based artist working to spark joy through her whimsical artwork. When she landed her biggest piece to date (115 ft x 5 ft) she reached out for me to come and capture the full experience. It was so exciting being able to see the process of this massive endeavor which took her over two weeks to create. She had pursued through a lot, mentally and physically. Rachael’s work primarily focuses on food and botanicals but she really took a deep dive (pun intended) into this project to challenge her limits, and I’d call it a great success.

Rachael and I met over 10 years ago, day one of college at the Savannah College of Art and Design. She was an Illustration major while I, Photography. We both, coincidentally, ended up focusing our creative efforts around food and food purveyors. Needless to say, we love to eat together. It’s been an honor to watch her career unfold as she takes on new and bigger projects each year. In addition to her mural work, she has a line of greeting cards with Fluttr and is represented by Miller Gallery in Charleston, Art & Light in Greenville, SC and The Gallery at Sweetgrass on Isle of Palms.
“Kate was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her passion and engagement during the shoot was so energizing. I love the variety she created in the final edited images. She makes the process from start to finish a delight.”
Working with creatives is my favorite thing to capture. It’s inspiring, it’s energizing and it’s always a fun collaboration. If you are an artist in need of headshots, process shots or product shots, reach out to me and let’s work together.
