RACHEL OWEN
MASTER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Profile
Rachel Owen is a photographer living and working with her husband and son in the Chicagoland area. As an Adobe Certified Photoshop Expert she often merges photos of her subjects in the studio on greenscreen into miniature objects or even combines multiple photographs to create a new setting that does not exist in the real world. Rachel is a Portraits Masters Fellow, ICON Triple Master, PPA Master Photographer, consecutive Diamond Photographer of The Year, and has represented the United States multiple times in the World Photographic Cup. Rachel was ranked the world’s number one portrait photographer in 2022 by One Eyeland, 2024’s Digital Artist of the Year by IIC, and has numerous first place awards in international professional photography competitions. Rachel's primary goal when photographing anyone is to make the person in front of her lens feel empowered, and to have that empowerment show up and provoke the viewer. Her images are often described as surreal and whimsical, and they take the viewer into a fantasy to blur the lines of reality and fiction. Rachel describes her own passion for creating as, “A fire burning in my heart, imprisoned in my bones. I grow weary of holding it back, until I cannot.”
