I discovered photography in 2009, specifically photographing people in costumes, known as Cosplay. In 2014 I decided to quit my job as a Graphic Designer and pursue photography more seriously. That December I moved to Los Angeles to study Fine Art Photography and in 2016 I graduated from the New York Film Academy with a MFA degree. Everyday with every new job I learn and grow as a photographer, both technically and theoretically. I am constantly inventing new and unique concepts from political to fantasy stories, from eastern culture to western culture, all ages and all races. My goal is to not just make a beautiful photograph but to create images that are also meaningful and thoughtful for both the viewer and myself.
