About Emily, about Flow

Beyond following the philosophical context of Flow, Emily Rademacher tends to go with the flow in a photo shoot. She believes that photography should capture an event, not become it. Having worked as a photojournalist for 7 years, she learned to work with the environment around her. 

​What is Flow?:  "In positive psychology, Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity." The philosophy was named by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Shortly after discovering this concept, Emily realized that photography almost always made her Flow. 

Emily is a Truckee - Tahoe native, a mom, an artist,  a healer, a bonfire singer, and a nature lover. She spends as much time as possible enjoying the amazing trails, rivers and lakes of the Tahoe region.
