Thanks for visiting!    I have tasted the colors of so many lives from all walks of life.  It all started way back during my dancing career appearing on local and national television, working with models, dancers, choreographers, celebrities, producers, directors, actors, etc.

The photographer in me was born shortly after hanging my dancing shoes up.

Today my plate is full of all sorts of creative opportunities.  From designing concepts for events to marketing along with photography assignments. I believe we were not blessed to be here to do just  one thing.  Reinvent yourself and allow yourself to live out your passions.

I am touched to have had so many sponsors who believe in me and my missions in what I do.

In this day and age, everyone is a photographer, model, etc.  What’s important is your purpose and the message you leave with each person.

I meet tons of fans wherever I go and It is my passion to encourage each person that cross my path to be real and always stand for what is right.  I have discovered that “people” are just people.  Celebrities to the bus driver.  There are no gender to me, we are all just spirits having human experiences.  The joy is when you are able to fall in love with “spirit” vs body.

Don’t let what you hear create the way you feel or the way you see life.   People will say what they want to anyway. Believe in yourself, be real and always keep your “pearls” close to your heart.   Live life with urgency, embrace it, celebrate it and never stand in the middle.

Once again, thank you for visiting and again always be real.

Sincerely, Russell Tanoue
