Introduction: I'm a freelance photojournalist and commercial photographer in Columbia, SC where I work with The New York Times, The Associated Press, Getty Images, The Washington Post and more. My commercial clients have included The South Carolina Agriculture Commission, The Red Cross, Texas Instruments, the ACLU, and more.
I love making natural light environmental portraits and enjoy location scouting.
As a photographer, I enjoy the creative puzzle that comes along with the process of making still images: balancing space, light, composition, and timing to break off a slice of moment, preserving it for how ever long history demands. As a photojournalist I get an added bonus of being able to experience the worlds of others with whom I share this planet with.

Sean Rayford is an extremely talented photographer! I wouldn't get my pictures done with anyone else. He is always on time, is very nice, and his pictures are absolutely stellar. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for photography work.
