Starting my journey into photography, initiated during the COVID era, I was looking for something to fill my downtime. Through starting off with my moms camera and eventually upgrading to my own, my curiosity in photography evolved into an ongoing exploration and refinement of skills and principles. An important aspect to my photographic practice is the idea of establishing a strong centered focal point, demonstrated in most of my images. Framing plays a pivotal role into the approach, prioritizing a clean and direct presentation within the composition. A passion for the outdoors and capturing what the eye can truly see leads my creative efforts towards photography.

Whenever I have the opportunity to go camping or hiking, I love to bring my camera with me to take pictures and remember the moments. The picture of the fox was a great time, it was on New Years right around midnight in Breckinridge, CO and this family of foxes came up to our window. I had my camera and stepped slightly out the door to picture one of them and fortunately it came even closer to me. This was an amazing experience because I was able to frame the fox as a focal point and document its beautiful physique.

Growing up close to Chicago provided an endless source of inspiration for photography within urban landscapes. Exploring the cityscape, particularly in large cities like Chicago or Las Vegas, became a cherished pursuance of mine. The first picture of the Willis Tower captures an amazing opportunity where I got invited by a friend to go to the top-inside floor of the John Hancock building (pictured right) before opening to take that picture. Capturing the constructed beauty of architectural feats became a focal point, each having a distinct structure offering many viewpoints for admiration. The intricacy of these unique architectural designs and urban landscapes became a captivating subject matter.
