About Jordan Abdur-Raoof

I am a Durham based, self-taught photographer. My portfolio spans across a variety of styles, each fulfilling me in their own way. Portraiture allows me to get to know strangers (hey, you!) and work with them to bring their vision to life. Whether we are talking about headshots, family photo shoots, maternity, graduation shoots, couples shoots, parties, or solo shoots— I am here to celebrate you. I want to capture authentic, beautiful moments that showcase your intricacies, your relationships, and your accomplishments. When I am exploring the world on my own, I enjoy capturing cityscapes, landscapes, and wildlife. I picked up my first DSLR in 2016 and all these years later each image I make still fills me with so much joy.

Jordan took my grad pictures and they turned out great!! He gave good direction during the shoot which made it easy. He made sure I hit all my favorite spots on campus to capture the memories. He also made sure I liked the edits to all the pictures. All in all he’s a great photographer. Book him!!

Jordan was great to work with. I’d 100% recommend him to anyone looking to do a shoot. He was responsive and communicated well every step of the way, he did a great job taking the lead and guiding me through the shoot, and the final product was exactly what I was hoping for.

Jordan was hands-down one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with! Not only was he incredibly professional, he took time before our session to call me and discuss my exact expectations and needs. He was able to provide me with a same-day turn around on my headshots. He is incredible!! So many people from my firm have asked me where my headshots are from!! Cannot recommend him enough!

From the very beginning Jordan was personable, I knew immediately that I wanted to work with him. He provided me details about his photography skills, he wasn’t overselling himself but I could tell he was very confident in his ability. He communicated frequently throughout the entire process, even letting me know that he had visited some of the areas I mentioned I would like to shoot at. He was on time for the photshoot and very welcoming just as he was on the phone and via text. Very nice and humble guy, please reach out to him if you are interested in a photoshoot you won’t regret it. I can’t wait to work with him again in the near future.

Jordan was a pleasure to work with and I am completely satisfied with the work he did for my fiancé and me. His art is what drew us in, but his professionalism and responsiveness was what added to the experience. We appreciate the time and effort Jordan put in even before the shoot with researching our engagement shoot venue so that he could capture the best shots. The photoshoot session was smooth and easy since he knew exactly what what to do to bring our vision to life. I would HIGHLY recommend using Jordan to capture any memorable event someone would have.

Jordan is by far the most talented photographer that we have ever worked with. He is incredibly polite and has the ability to put your at ease even at 8am on a Sunday morning. He know a how to bring the best out of people through pictures, and can tell an amazing story with his photography. I am absolutely blown away by his photography skills, his demeanor, and his passion. I absolutely hate photo shoots, but I have to say, Jordan made it incredibly easy!

Jordan was amazing! He was quickly responsive, clear on his process, flexible on dates when our original date wouldn’t work, professional, patient in working with a hangry toddler and anxious mother, and just an all around joy to work with! He made our experience a joyful memory, far beyond the photos taken and delivered. Highly recommend and will be using him again in the future!

Jordan went above and beyond in making sure that we had an amazing photography session for our wedding shoot. Prior to the wedding, he called me asking me about my vision and asked me to send over my favorite photos for inspiration for him to use. We changed the location and times several times on him unfortunately, and yet he was still nothing but friendly and patient with us and communicated extremely promptly with us through the whole process. At the photography session, he acknowledged each family member, made sure our requests were heard, and took us to several places he scouted out first (amazing he scouted out the place first so he’d know the best spots!). He then sent over a handful of edited photos and asked us what we thought first before editing the rest of the photos and delivering our final pictures to us in only a few days. The photos came out so beautiful and were exactly what we had hoped for on our special day. Working with Jordan was amazing and we would not hesitate to hire him again. Thank you so much, Jordan!

Jordan was very easy to work with. He took photos for my daughters senior pictures. His very laid back way of leading us through the process was greatly appreciated! He made my daughter and feel very comfortable and we were very excited about the way the photos turned out! He was a true professional! Thank you Jordan. Will be calling you again for other events!

Jordan provided an amazing experience for my son’s graduation photos. He listened to my vision and brought it to life. He has a great personality that made the photo session painless. If you book him you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for an amazing experience Jordan.
