Welcome!
 
I am Raquel Olague, an artist working with photography as my medium. This site features a curated selection of works over the years. Each subject is thoughtfully explored with attention to light, composition, and the emotion or statement I wish to convey.
I’m a member of the LGBTQ+ community and the Safe Space Alliance. I engage thoughtfully with the environments I photograph, minimizing impact and collecting discarded items. These values shape the way I engage with the world through photography. I seek galleries that embrace inclusivity, thoughtful presentation, social responsibility, and opportunities to foster connection through art.
Gallery and curatorial inquiries are welcome.
Series
Photographic series capturing a range of subjects and tones, each part of ongoing explorations.
California love
An exploration of environmental neglect. Each space is approached with care and discarded items are collected along the way.
Golden Opportunity
A dark, playful boudoir series created during Covid. Our golden stand-in delighted the models while we patiently awaited the postponed live session.
