Why I Love Photography
People and the relationships they have with each other are absolutely fascinating to me.
We’re all so different, yet we find ways to connect with each other. We act one way with certain friends, and entirely different with others. Yet both versions are true portrayals of ourselves. That’s why it is so difficult to capture who someone is in a single frame, but that’s also why I love photographing people. I could work with someone dozens of times and never pick a single photo that represents who they are, but all of them together start to create an idea. Start to bring in friends, families, and partners, and you’ve got the pieces to attempt to figure out how people tick.
About Me
After being born and raised in the Poconos, I always knew I would leave my small town to spend my college days in the city. I started at Drexel University in 2013, graduated with a B.S. in Photography in 2017, and am now a proud Philadelphian transplant. I love this city, I love our people, and I love our “I love you, but f*** you!” attitude. Life has dealt me some losing situations, but I’ve fought and worked hard for what I have. My hope is that me living my life for myself and the people I love inspires others to do the same.
You can currently find me, my collection of vintage cameras, and my little potato (also known as my kitty April Ludgate) in Roxborough. If I’m not at home, I’m probably out thrifting or at one of Philly’s local artist and vintage markets.
