Photography has always been a constant companion of mine. When I was 6, I remember begging my grandmother to drive me to CVS and buy me an underwater film camera. I would make sets in my house with craft paper as the backdrop and Barbie dolls as the models. My grandmother always said, “Photography is reality, and I like reality.” My photographs represent my reality, what goes on in my head, and how I see the world. I believe there is beauty in absolutely everything and I’ve been blessed with the ability to see it. My approach isn't confined to a specific style; instead, I capture the soul of each moment, wherever I am and whatever I'm doing. It's about feeling the scene and translating that emotion into a visual experience. Photography is the only thing that relaxes my mind from all the stress, worry, and thoughts that take over my perpetual mind. It's my outlet – my way of connecting to myself and the world. I have always felt the most like myself when I am surrounded by other cultures in other parts of the world, and then of course, my camera is there too.
