Born in Los Angeles, California, raised in Atlanta, Georgia – I’ve been artistically influenced from East to West and greatly inspired by my parents who are creative in art and photography. My first camera was a 35mm Nikon, which my father trained me to use to the max in controlling all of the elements in imaging. I started shooting at 15 and my fascination with capturing the beauty in every moment continued, growing into a passion that opened up other possibilities of creative expression. After transitioning from film to digital imaging, I was able to produce a portfolio that launched me into the fashion and commercial photography industry, working both on-contract for agencies and independently in my home-studio. My artwork is an adventure into simplicity and complexity, symmetry and form, with an infusion of color and contrast with texture; my photography tells a story with various endings – focusing on vivid colors and angles to evoke emotion.
