Allow me to introduce myself…
I’ve wanted nothing more than to be an artist. Since my parents started me out on piano at a very young age, following the arts was what brought me fulfillment. Music was my life and I found myself tirelessly refining my tone, musicianship, phrasing, and intonation until I got my first copy of Photoshop CS2 in 2013. As the dorky little fourth grader that I was, I started practicing composites of my favorite places and people. The lasso tool lost its luster quickly as I started improving.
I stepped behind the camera in junior high school, shooting things that caught my eye or that I found deeply visually intriguing. This practice still comprises the majority of my portfolio. My art is everything to me. When I’m down, I create. When I’m up, I create. Create, create, create. If it wasn’t already evident, I live to create. However. I still struggle calling myself an artist or visual storyteller in public places despite having my work featured in galleries throughout Colorado.
I specialize in Fine Art Portrait Photography as well as Street and Urban Photography, with a keen preference for the abstract. The collection on this website doesn’t represent my technical “best” photos. These photos speak to me. A photo doesn’t have to have perfect exposure, composition, or material to take my breath away. Here’s to my attempt to break free from the mainstream.
