Palm trees and beautiful beaches were a few things I grew up to being raised in Pensacola Florida. Later in life I moved to New York City were I began my photography career. I started off as a “On Location Photographer” soon as i bought my first camera. I fell in love with the editing process. Although I didn’t have the luxury as other great photographers did in NYC I was determined to edit my photos to appear that way. One summer I took a internship with some well known photographers that worked with modeling agencies building portfolios and local magazine companies publishing beautiful editorial work. My job was retouching and also fetching things to make the shoot seamless. I learned a lot that summer and took a lot with me as I began to upgrade my equipment. I started getting into studio photography when I upgraded my camera and doing less on location work. I began to build aspiring models portfolios while shooting events when ever I was able to. In 2019 I moved to Houston to continue my journey. Being in a less expensive place I set up my first in home studio. The Texas heat was hard for me to deal with so for a whole year I shot nothing but portraits. I redefined what my work was known as. Throughout that year I would shoot around 30 models and get published in a Houston Magazine for my work. Due to me not liking the weather of Texas I recently moved to Columbus Ohio. This will be the 3rd time I’ve had to start working my way from the bottom to the top with networking. I look forward to what this city has to offer.
