Hello, I'm Russ!
Photographer & Videographer
I am a Cleveland-born-and-raised photographer and videographer creating intentional, story-driven imagery. My work has been featured in Axios, The Vindicator, and through Great Lakes Publishing, with client projects appearing in Rolling Stone, Ohio Business Magazine, and Sword Magazine. I approach each collaboration with precision, authenticity, and a focus on meaningful storytelling.
About Me
While growing up in the foster care system, my passion for photography was sparked during a life-changing NASA internship in high school. That experience set me on a path of creativity and determination, leading me to Cleveland State University, where I graduated with a degree in Environmental Sciences.
What started as a hobby evolved into Russ Lang Photography, a platform that has reached over 10 million views (in the past year alone) and has been featured in multiple publications, including Cleveland Magazine, Cleveland.com, ImFromCleveland, and much more! My work showcases the beauty of both natural and urban landscapes, challenging perceptions and inspiring appreciation for the world around us.
