Before starting my journey to become a photographer I wanted to be a chemist. I loved the experiments and being able to work with my hands. Chemistry went hand in hand with my interest in photography because in high school all we did was darkroom work for my photography class. The day came when I had to make a decision, focus on my artwork or crack down on my chemistry studies...I choose my artwork. I like to think it was the right decision, photography makes me happy and I would love to have that career for the rest of my life.
Entering MIAD as a freshman I was excited about all the photos I was going to take and the work I was going to make while going to school. When I had my first photography class I was completely thrown off my axis when I realized I would be starting out with digital photography and I had never worked digitally before.
Looking back on all that I've done and all the worries I had, I know that this was the right choice for me and that challenging myself in this way has only improved my photography. Since high school I've learned that photography, or art in general, is all about experimentation and being able to discover something new about yourself. So, my photography is as such. I'm constantly changing my interests and hoping that I'll find my next inspiration just around the corner. I'm currently working on a nightscape series, in which I photograph places at night to show their deserted or rather empty feeling. I plan on continuing this for awhile so hopefully I can get some photos up here for you to see.
