About Me

Have done photography for over 50 years, professionally and for competition. I am a member of several photography groups, and may require a male or female model(s) from time to time.
Ray Santana
“Man with the Camera”

Ray Santana – “Man with the Camera” is one of the most sought after photographers in the Antelope Valley.

Whatever the assignment, “Santana seems to be everywhere!” - capturing the images to make each and every event a memorable one.

For Ray, it’s about more than just taking the photo, it’s about “telling the story” to document the history-making images that define each and every one of us.

Known as the “quiet man” with a ready smile, willing hand, and professional demeanor beyond reproach, Ray Santana is the consummate professional, mentor and friend.

Ray is a former Marine and Vietnam veteran. His service to his country, and 50 plus years as a professional photographer is truly a “story of its own.” Santana’s diverse portfolio continues to honor past, present, and future generations with a universal message of lasting dedication, the spirit to defy the odds, and the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others.

For over eight years, Santana’s award-winning photos were exclusive to the Antelope Valley Magazine. His work has been displayed at the annual Antelope Valley Fair, Lancaster Museum and Art Gallery, publications for the Antelope Valley College Graphic Arts Program, and numerous businesses around the Antelope Valley, among others.

Ray Santana of "Images by Santana" is always the professional, always the friend, and always the “Man with the Camera.”
