PHOTOGRAPHY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN MY LIFE FOR OVER A DECADE. I GREW UP NEAR BALTIMORE MARYLAND, AND MOVED TO UTAH IN 2021. GROWING UP IN THE CITY, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A LOVE FOR STREET PHOTOGRAPHY. BEING A SKATEBOARDER, IT ONLY FELT NATURAL TO BRING MY CAMERA WITH ME EVERYWHERE. AS A QUEER PERSON, DIVERSITY IN PHOTOGRAPHY HAS ALWAYS BEEN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME. REPRESENTATION CAN BE LIFE OR DEATH TO SOME, WHICH IS WHY I AM SO PASSIONATE WHEN IT COMES TO PROJECTS THAT REPRESENT THE MORE MARGNALIZED GROUPS OF PEOPLE. AS A CREATIVE, I HAVE PRIVLEDGE; I HAVE THE OPPURTUNITY TO CAPTURE THINGS THAT ONE MIGHT NOT SEE OTHERWISE. EVERY PHOTO I TAKE, I LOOK AT AS THE CHANCE TO MAKE A MEMORY. PHOTOGRAPHS ARE HISTORY, AND TO BE A PART OF THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL PRIVLEDGE I HAVE.
