Raymond Alva (Rap) is a portrait/documentary photographer primarily working in the music space. Born and raised in Southern California, Alva naturally gravitates toward documenting the culture and people around him. His exploration of light and color seamlessly aligns with his desire to authentically depict the narratives before him. His work not only provides a fresh and alternative viewpoint but also helps us understand the similarities and differences between us all. When he's not photographing artists or those around him, Alva can be found DJing with friends, skating at his local skatepark, or catching the latest A24 film. Select clients include Billboard magazine, Hypebeast, Nike, Undefeated, Born X Raised, NPR, and Cuervo: raymondalva.com/ | www.instagram.com/rapberry
