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 photo journalist 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. Try that in a spelling bee!

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.
