I am a self-taught photographer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. From an early age, I was immersed in the world of photography, inspired by my parents, who were both passionate about this art form. My love for photography was truly ignited at the age of 12 during a darkroom summer camp, where I discovered the magic of capturing and developing images. Since then, photography has become an integral part of my life, shaping how I see and interact with the world. My work primarily focuses on portraiture, where I strive to capture the essence of individuals as I perceive them. I am fascinated by the uniqueness of each person and seek to highlight their individuality through my lens. I prefer a more spontaneous approach to portraiture, allowing my subjects to express themselves naturally rather than adhering to rigid staging. This method enables me to create authentic and deeply personal images that reflect the true nature of my subjects. Whether shooting in analog or digital, I am captivated by the subtle nuances that can be captured in a single frame. Photography is not just a hobby for me; it is a lifelong passion and a profound means of expression. The ability to freeze moments in time and preserve them forever is something I hold dear. Through my photography, I aim to capture the fleeting moments that define our lives, creating visual stories that resonate with viewers on a personal level. I am dedicated to continuing my journey in photography, constantly seeking to explore and capture the beauty and individuality of the world around me.
