Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.

About Me

Growing up in Livermore, CA I have an appreciation for all kinds of art, music, and people. Although I was born and raised in a small town, I absolutely love big cities. Learning about new things is one of my passions. I have an energetic and optimistic attitude for life. I volunteer my time in my community and car club projects that usually involve youth. When I’m not going to school, working, or volunteering, I spend time with my very close family and friends.I have been studying photography for 4 years now. Starting my photography career by entering pictures in the county and state fairs blossomed into doing photo sessions for family and friends. I attended Brooks Institute of Photography; Ventura, CA for 4 sessions (majoring in Visual Journalism & Still Life) and learned my craft more. I am now continuing my studies at San Joaquin Delta Community College in Stockton, CA while I work as a freelance photographer doing portrait sessions, editorial work, fashion, weddings, and working for bands and hip hop artist. I aspire to someday work for National Geographic and Rolling Stone while having my own studio.People have described my work as intimate, personal, fun, fresh, surreal, and vivid. I like to go beyond traditional and “capture the moment”. I believe you capture the true essence of a person, place, or view if you try to photograph the beauty as it is right then and there, rather than try to make it conform to what you want it to be. My goal is to tell a story with the pictures I take, to make you feel as if you were there at that moment; either feeling the warmth of that sunset or feeling the joy of hearing that baby giggle. Capturing your thoughts, feelings, and heart is what I strive to do with my pictures.i use both film and digital.
