Russell Bloodworth Photography is redefining what portraiture can look like for seniors and executives in Northwest Arkansas. Known for his luxurious, story-driven style, Bloodworth incorporates personal and environmental elements into every session.
Originally from Memphis, Bloodworth was recruited to the Bentonville area in 2012 to work in marketing for Walmart. When the pandemic arrived and shifted the marketing environment for retail, he capitalized on workflow changes to dabble in photography as a side gig. Beginning with casual, “front-porch” portraits, the part-time photographer gradually grew this creative endeavor into a full-time business.
As with any artistic profession, ongoing practice helps hone a sense of style, and for Bloodworth, years of sifting through trends and techniques have left behind a niche for elevated executive portraiture. Thanks to connections made during his time at Walmart, Bloodworth has composed a portfolio of premium images, some of which have been featured in iconic editorials like Rolling Stone, Forbes, and People.
Due to their sophisticated stylings, Bloodworth’s portraits are particularly attractive for high-end brands, creative professionals, and business leaders who want more than just a headshot. His sessions are built around each client’s story, using backgrounds that speak to their personality, interests, or goals. For example, a Bentonville senior with architectural aspirations might be photographed in front of a contemporary building, or a Fayetteville entrepreneur with a passion for music might be photographed amongst their record collection. Each image is thoughtfully composed to illustrate a personal brand.
In addition to premium portrait packages, Bloodworth now offers mini executive sessions, which accommodate the busy schedules of time-deficient clientele. Mention this article when inquiring about a session with Russell Bloodworth Photography to receive a complimentary package upgrade.
