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, Time, and more. My commercial clients include Facebook, Comcast, The Red Cross, Texas Instruments, The Obama Foundation, Dove Soap, the ACLU, Experience Columbia, and The South Carolina Agriculture Commission. 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.

Had a great experience with Sean. Photos were what I wanted/needed and he was so easy to work with. He went beyond what I had expected. Would gladly do business with him again!

Sean was extremely accommodating, setting up an appointment for me on short notice with the headshots coming out great! His prices were fair and I was very satisfied with the experience. I would highly recommend hiring him for any of your photography needs!

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.

I hired Sean to take photos of my fiance and myself. He was very professional and responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of the photos were top notch and we received them ahead of schedule. I would absolutely hire Sean again.
