As a photographer, I enjoy capturing anything from Earth's beauty to the occurrences of everyday life. To me, photography is the perfect format to depict the rawness of reality while also having the ability to manipulate the image in order to create a surreal scene that can't be seen by the naked eye. Initially, I was more interested in filmmaking but ever since I took a photography elective course during my freshman year of high school, I haven't stopped taking photos.
My photos, or at least my favorites, come from a place of passion. The photos that I enjoy taking the most aren't the staged photos but rather the ones that reveal a specific memory connected to me. My hopes are that as a viewer, people will see my photos and it will trigger a certain positive memory or emotion that they can reflect on. Currently, I am really taking the time to explore all types of photography in an attempt to find my style. I especially love taking photos of landscapes but I am also experimenting with photojournalism and urban photography specifically using film. Often times, I play around with disposable cameras which isn't the most high-end camera but you use what you've got :)
