For me taking images is like seeing the world though a window, while freezing the memorable moments in life we would miss or forget about. Photojournalist Dorthea Lange once said, "The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera." This is a quote that has always inspired me. It take minimal effort to pick up a camera and click the shutter; it takes more effort to visualize a perfect frame with your eyes and then use the camera to capture the frame that was previously envisioned. Photography has always been an outlit for me. It both seperates me and brings me closer to the world around me. Two of my main styles of photogtaphy are portrait photography and event photography. Both styles of photography allow me to capture the beauty of human nature and connect me to my community.
