I’m Ramiel Rashidi, a photographer with more than three decades of exploration across light, form, and human expression.

My photographic journey has unfolded in chapters, often spending five to ten years immersed in a discipline—from fine-art nude, landscapes, macro flowers, and architecture to commercial products, festivals, retreats, and concerts. Working with both natural light and full studio setups, I move between close observation, live moments, and deliberately crafted images. Personal projects such as Light of the Soul and The Uncontainable Feminine give space to deeper thematic exploration.

Alongside photography, I’m the founder and Executive Director of Wild Lotus Spiritual Center & Contemplative Arts, a nonprofit regenerative community taking shape in California’s East Bay hills. After thirty years building technology companies, I’m devoting my life to its vision of bringing contemplative practice, creativity, and ecological living into community.

Connection is the thread running through both: with people, with the natural world, and with what becomes visible when we give something our full attention.
