Q2.How and when did you get into photography?
From what I can remember when I was younger my family always had photo albums lying around the house. I would find myself going through them from time to time to reminisce or see how the picture was taken. Those photographs had history captured in a square frame. My Father would tell me about my grandfather who also was a photographer and how he made it a business. Born from an acute interest in watching YouTube videos of Peter McKinnon I finally made the decision to aspire to be a photographer. In 2018 I went out and bought a Nikon 5100 for $300; my life changed from there.
Q3. What does photography mean to you?
Photography to me is being able to capture different sides and perspectives from a visual aspect. As cliche, as it sounds but a picture, does say quite a lot.

Q4. Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
My style of photography is a combination of traditional and glamour portraits. However, I’m open to learning various different styles of portrait photography.
Q5. Where do you get inspiration from?
My inspiration comes from my exploration of the art itself. I find a variety of photographers through different media outlets that make me say “I’ve got to try that one day.” And lastly my desire to travel to different places, I’ll see a specific location and immediately wish I could teleport there.
Q6. Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
I am pretty spontaneous when it comes to shooting, I develop my concepts first and then put my spin on them.

Q7. Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
I’m a bit of both. I consider myself a professional of course, but I don’t mind collaborating with others to develop my skill or try something new.
Q8. What has been your most memorable session and why?
In New York January 2020, I was shooting for a clothing line and it was probably the most fun I’ve had shooting Photography.

Nikon all the way and 35mm Prime.
Q10. What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?
Practice your craft first, don’t feel insecure about doing things for free because there’s no pressure. Learn the business of being a photographer, who’s your target audience, and what experience do you want to sell.
