About Me


My name is Saalik Rauf, I'm a photographer based in Davis California. I picked up the camera when I was fifteen and I haven't put it down since. I enjoy many different styles of photography, though portraits and still life are the most fun for me. I specialize in low light and night photography.


Aside from photography I'm a student at UC Davis (physics major), I enjoy weightlifting, travelling, and performing stand up comedy.

FAQ

Where are you located?

I live in Davis California, I'm a student at UC Davis.

Do you offer a student discount?

Yes

Do you edit your photos?

Yes. There's a skill required in getting a good picture in the camera, but there's an art afterwards to getting it to look the way you want. The process for editing is unique for each photo, and it's part of where photographers get a chance to apply their own style to their images.

Do you travel?

Within my means, which means I can access anything within an hour or so's drive of Davis.

What are your rates?

The exact pricing depends on the job, but here are some ballpark figures.

Headshots - $25

Portrait shoot - $50-150 (depending on the number of photos needed and the complexity of the shoot)

Business advertising - $100-300+ (depends largely on the size of the business and number of photos necessary)

Art - See the art page in my portfolio.

Can I order prints?

You can order prints directly from your photo gallery under the clients page.

I am camera shy/not photogenic, help?

Me too, I understand the struggle. Everyone has a "good side." That is to say that there's a good portrait waiting for you. It can take a little while to get comfortable in front of the camera, so I'll work with you until we get the shots we need.
