Portraits from the Ramp

“Portraits from the Ramp” is an on-going series of digital portraits, all drawn from life using an iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and the Procreate app. The ramp is the area of an airport where aircraft are parked and serviced. These portraits depict Ramp Service Employees (RSEs), also known as “Rampers” or “Ramp Agents”, from the ramp at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). RSEs direct aircraft in and out of the ramp, and handle baggage and cargo. This series is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of this diverse community.
