Cryptic Winged Photography

Welcome to the Nest

The Nest is a locally owned venue/studio that was built with the artist in mind. With every corner of our space having it's own unique feel, there is a spot for artists of all styles. Photographers, models, designers, writers, musicians, etc all have a place here. The Nest was built as a central location for artists to come together to grow, create, connect, and belong. With an atmosphere of love and humility, artists no longer have to fear rejection because of their differences, but rather be received just as they are, right where they are.
Whether you are seasoned or still learning, you can be sure that you will receive support, relationship, and encouragement to grow as an artist and as a part of the family.

 Who am I?

I am Boo Radley. I have been hoarding/hiding my work & myself from the world for 14 years. I am self taught. Hands on trial and error. I have been the photographer, developer, model, and spirit of my work for years. I learned how to photograph people by photographing myself.I think to be an amazing photographer you must have experience in front and behind the camera...a complete balance from every realm of the craft. I like images to be captivating right out of the camera. I thrive for greatness in ALL the photos I take. Each hold a story or moral that are meant to inspire or make a mind wonder. I LOVE photographing subjects that have no experience in modeling. Its so fresh and new, an innocence almost. My next favorite subject is My Mother Earth. Totally wicked and raw and unpredictable, AMAZING. I took a giant leap of faith and came out of hiding to share some photos. That is why I am here. I have a hard time choosing photos to exhibit because I am my worst enemy. Its like letting the whole world read your diary. It's so RAW!!! ***************************************************** I AM A PHOTOGRAPHER BECAUSE ITS MY PASSION, MY GIFT FROM GOD. I DON'T THRIVE TO BE FAMOUS OR WELL KNOWN. I EXHIBIT MY WORK TO INSPIRE. I EXHIBIT MY WORK BECAUSE IT IS MY FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION...EXPRESSION OF MY INNER MIND AND SOUL.
