Raised in Las Vegas, I moved to El Sereno, Los Angeles three years ago. I found a love for photography and expressing myself through my work at Las Fotos. It molded into wanting to learn and capture more amazing things when I was lent my first camera. I saw how much further a simple enjoyment could lead to and how much ability and confidence having a camera gives me. With the opportunity to work with the LA Times during my second semester at LFP, it opened my mind and heart to the world of photojournalism and a story behind an image. At that point of time, I realized that photography was much more than a simple interest, but something I would like to pursue professionally. I hope to gain more experience while focusing on my passion for creating candid and portraiture.
