About the owner // Rachael Short
After picking up her Dad’s camera at the age of twelve, photography became Rachael Short's passion to this day. In 2000 this California native moved to Santa Barbara to study photography at the Brooks Institute of Photography.
Over the following decade Rachael established a thriving wedding photography and portraiture business. In addition, with Evynn LeValley, a fellow photographer they launched Gallery EXPOSED in the heart of Carmel in 2009. Rachael's formal shooting pursuits ended abruptly in 2010 when her neck broke in a car accident, leaving her a quadriplegic.
Rachael now divides her time between physical therapy, Gallery EXPOSED and capturing images with her iPhone. Photographs of nature, people and places allow her to explore the relationship between light and shadow—images she transforms into platinum prints.
