I originally became interested in photography when I was a child and would play around with a camera that didn't have any film in it; the shutter click was such a pleasant sound that I would just keep clicking. Fast forward to senior year of high school, when I received my first camera, a Sony Cybershot DSC T1, as a birthday present. That year, I remember chronicling everything that happened to me. That pattern continued for me throughout college, when I studied graphic design but also took a lot of photography classes. I always found a way to incorporate my photography into my graphic design work during my college years, and I just kept doing it after graduation. During this time, my love for music grew even stronger, and I began photographing concerts on a regular basis. My greatest interest is the art of storytelling, and I've been working on a way to integrate love (weddings) and music for the past few years. It all flows together in the same manner that life does. I simply adore capturing genuine moments, whether they occur in the streets, during a tiny wedding ceremony, or in the backstage area of a singer before a performance.
