I started taking self portraits 6 years ago when I didn’t know what to photograph to learn how to use my camera. Since then I’ve fallen in love with every style, no matter how frustrating, and constantly am pushing to understand more and more about what makes a great photo.
Most of what I’m photographing is client work that I don’t put up on here so you’re seeing a lot of me right now and, hey, that’s fine with me!
I’m excited about an upcoming trip that I’ll be making some cooking content with and some of my classic ‘chill in nature’ stuff that feels more natural to who I am.
I’ll be releasing a preset pack of portrait presets and food presets next month for Lightroom and this is my first run on the new look. I usually go heavily stylized.
I always always always want people to know when they see my photos they can already know who took it before even looking at the name of the creator.
These will be far more accessible and still a few with my extreme flair I put on my edits.
I had the craziest dream last night where my mother asked me, “Why do you want to be so present online?” And my sleep subconscious response was, well, attention grabbing even for me.
It’s funny because I do like attention, and it’s sometimes bordering vain, but when I was young I really got chastised for how odd I looked and obviously the red hair. As soon as I could dye that, it was black, and then literally ever color under the rainbow.
I’m okay with it now and it feels strange when people compliment me on it to this day because it’s usually much the opposite of the embedded kid in me that still says, I’ll do whatever I want.
Anyways, thanks for being here and love you guys!
