Ralph and Andrea have enjoyed coordinating their individual talents and experience to make a fun, vibrant photo team that will keep you at ease from the
first moment you meet them. They are truly passionate about creating an experience and a memory for you to cherish and share forever.
Ralph started his photography career in the US Navy Submarine Service during the Vietnam Era while serving as an Electronics Technician on board the
USS Theodore Roosevelt, SSBN 600 (Blue Crew) (that boat has since been turned into scrap metal or a nice reef by now, who knows...you might be
shaving with it).
Ralph was assigned the collateral duty as the Ship's Photographer because he had a really nice camera. After six years of Navy service, he started a
photo equipment repair facility on Oahu, Hawaii where he also began his portraiture business, then called Photographique. He was one of the Official
Photographers of the First Honolulu Marathon in Oahu and has been photographing it almost every year since then.
After experiencing a stint of "Island Fever" he moved to the "Mainland" and settled in Southern California where he has built a very loyal and happy
commercial client base.
Andrea, his wife, is an artist and photographer, who perfectly balances Ralph's technical photographic skills.
Andrea's talent as an award-winning Digital Photo Painter, transforming photographs into painterly works of art, has won her many accolades for her
photographs and Digital Paintings and has a gallery of her work for sale on her own website at AndreaAuletta.com.

"After 40 years of ingesting every aspect of photographic science and composition, I still find the camera to be an endlessly intriguing partner that challenges my
imagination and knowledge. All that with only 3 variables of shutter speed, aperture and focal length." - Ralph Auletta
"Dupa patruzeci de ani de fotografie, in care am studiat toate aspectele stiintifice si artistice, fotografia continua sa fie un domeniu care ma intriga, desi nu sunt
implicati decat trei parametrii: sensibilitatea ISO, diafragma si timpul de expunere." - Ralph Auletta
