I have shot weddings, engagement photoshoots, and other events in the past, but in residency I don’t actively solicit gigs. Nonetheless, please contact me if you’d like me to help document your event.
Most photographers have a romantic backstory behind how they became interested in photography. Something like how they’ve always grown up admiring the visual arts and now view their camera is the instrument for capturing memories through subjective lenses. I, uhhh, wanted to learn how to use a digital camera… In 2012, my uncle gave me a point’n’shoot as a graduation gift, so I learned how to use it. I then bought a DSLR in 2013, so now I take pictures with that.
Natural beauty is what catches my eye, so I go out of my way (e.g. climb tall mountains, run after setting suns, chase snowstorms) to find cool scenes to photograph.
