The Legend Behind the Strings
Rayna Steele isn’t just a guitarist—she’s a force. From headlining festivals to collaborating with indie icons, she’s carved out a space where grit meets grace. Known for her hypnotic riffs and unapologetic presence, Rayna’s career has spanned over a decade, earning her a cult following across genres.
The Vision
When Rayna reached out about capturing her new promotional shots, the goal was clear: bold, intimate, and cinematic. She wanted to create a set of images that reflected her evolution—still raw and fierce, but with a new layer of vulnerability that’s emerging in her upcoming album, Burned Clean.

A Musician’s Rhythm
As a musician myself, I felt an instant flow with Rayna. We spoke the same language—beats, tempo, mood. She knew how to move without being directed, and I knew when to give space. The result? A session that felt more like a jam than a shoot. Candid moments, laughter, quiet focus… it was all there.
Working with Rayna reminded me why I do this. There’s nothing like photographing someone who fully owns their space. These are the shoots that stick with you—the ones where collaboration feels like magic.
