ABOUT RON RANERE
Fast forward to the digital age.
The creative process has been part of my life since childhood. At 9 years old I sold Christmas cards to get my first camera, a plastic body with a plastic lens that took 120 film; one step up from a shoe box with a hole in it. From that day, I became totally enamored with making images instead of taking pictures.During high school it came time to decide what I wanted to do. I had been working at a part time job as an office building cleaner. My floors were an Architect’s office. I always talked with the architects, fascinated by their creative process and how they saw the world. I attended Boston Architectural College and in addition to studying architecture I took electives in photography.
While working in architecture, I continued to do photography both for work and as a hobby. At 26 I decided to take a break from architecture and open Positive Image Photography (later re-branded to Ron Ranere Photography). Back then it was all commercial work without a specialty; shooting anything an art director would hire me to shoot. Over the years fashion and beauty became my specialty. I also continued my architectural career with my own firm, Ranere Associates. My architectural training completely influences my photography. Goethe said: “architecture is music frozen in time”, a philosophy I also apply to photography experimenting with the fluid aspects of light to create unique designs. About 6 years ago, while doing a shoot for a fashion designer I had the idea of using rope light as part of a shoot. “Liquid Light” was born. I began really experimenting with light art. Since I was so comfortable working with models it seemed like a natural progression to combine different light sources with models. I started sketching light patterns to create art. I learned that I could drape a model with fiber optic cable to create different forms by turning off the studio lights and choreographing the models movement while shooting long exposures. After a few shoots and trial and error attempts I got good at creating the form I imagined. That led to my most current project: Lighting dancers from behind to create a light pattern that complements their dance pose. I’m always thinking beyond the shot to the visceral impact on the viewer, hoping that the image will make their heart skip a beat.
