Who am i?

Born in Florida in 1992, I grew up watching cartoons and playing pretend around my neighborhood. I was exposed to many urban environments, ocean vistas, and swamplands. As I got older, I got to travel a little bit, exploring the woods of North Carolina, the plains of Wyoming, and the mountains of Colorado. Throughout my life, I have been exposed to many different genres and styles of art and music. My father was a painter, rendering stylized portraits, landscapes, and fantasy vistas. My mother played guitar, favoring country, folk, and hippie rock music from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Through my brother and friends, I was introduced to graffiti and more diverse and contemporary forms of music. So from a young age, I gained an appreciation for various aesthetics.

What I Do and Why

I love to capture moments of togetherness and celebration of the human experience. Whether it’s live music, beautifully prepared food, weddings, dance, or any of a million other forms of expression, I find the human response to existence preposterous and inspiring. The world we live in is equally remarkable and wondrous. From the peaceful resilience of plants to the animals vigorously fighting for survival to the stars, planets, and other celestial bodies whose majesty we are lucky enough to experience, I’m constantly inspired by the beauty of the natural world around us. In my photography, I try to reflect the world we live in and the people that create it. I want to shine some small light on the beauty of the cosmos and the part we play in it. I combine my love for nature, people, the arts, and more to create images that express that love.
