Rachel Esterday is a fine art photographer with experties in travel documentation, live concerts, film production stills, events, fashion, portraiture, and commercial advertising.
She is based in New York City, frequents Nashville, TN, and is willing and eager to travel anywhere her passport allows
Esterday is a natural with a camera. Growing up in Nashville, a city overflowing with masters of music and art, she began teaching herself all about digital and film photography at a young age. In high school, Rachel took her photography to the next level as Senior Photography Editor for the yearbook. A few years later, she turned her Ball State University college dorm room into a photo dark room, where she printed some of her favorite photos to date. As Rachel worked toward a Bachelor of Science Degree in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing, she also held internships in the marketing department of a London-based photography company and with a high fashion event production and marketing company in Hong Kong. Even while pursuing her interest in fashion and earning a degree, photography has always been her main focus.
Today, Rachel is intrigued by photography's position in the art world and the power it holds over artist and audience alike. She has been in love with the camera for well over a decade and is compelled to photograph everything the world has to offer. Whether jumping off a 764 ft building in Macau, carrying a wooden float of the Virgin Mary through the streets of Antigua, Guatemala during Semana Santa, parasailing off the coast of Thailand, eating scorpions in the streets of Beijing, summiting mountains and hiking through the wilderness of Alaska, or fighting the mosh pit at a punk concert in Brooklyn, Rachel craves adventure. With a wide variety of international work experience under her belt and photography featured in Outside and New York Magazine, she accepts any challenge that comes her way.
As one of the main photographers for NYC's leading rock radio station, 101.9 WRXP, Rachel has shot some of the top rock and indie bands in New York City.
In addition, Rachel has fine-tuned her art collaboration skills as one of the producers for the Fountain Art Fair which takes place in Miami during Art Basel and in New York City during the Armory. She has experience working with galleries and artists from NYC, L.A., Miami, London, Boston, Paris, and Switzerland. She interacts personally with the galleries, artists, and curators to assure a successful exhibition. The fair has received exposure in TimeOut NY, The Onion, NBC, ArtNet, Artlog, Miami New Times, and more.
Rachel is always happier with a camera in her hand. Her passion for photography has taken her on stage and into the photo pit at hundreds of rock concerts and to over 25 countries around the world. She enjoys combining her photography and art management skills as she continues to grow as an artist.
