Yours Truly

“Faded” a portrait

I am a photographer from the westside of Phoenix AZ. Growing up I’ve always had a camera in my hands. My surroundings have influenced my style of photography to be something unique and street but also soft and deep style within my photographs. A lot of my life seems to revolve around a camera, whether it be work or personal time photography is a genuine part of my life. I couldn’t imagine my life if I wasn’t able to create things that I enjoy, there’s a certain freedom about being able to put your heart into something for others to enjoy.

Through my images, I try to capture the raw emotion of the subjects that I photograph. Photography has given me the chance to meet many new and amazing people throughout my journey. I love being able to show people my eyes through the frame of a lens and that life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Being able to show parts of life people normally don’t photograph is a great freedom and service. Taking photos gives me the ability to show people different parts of the world or the mind that they may never see or know what it’s like. While I still have a lot of work to do to improve my talent I want to be able to display emotion and convey a story in every photo I take.
