Hello

I grew up a musician. I was, specifically, a vocalist though I had knowledge in piano, tenor saxophone, and limited drum understanding. I practiced singing from the ages of 12 to 20 and even studied at Berklee College of Music before Covid sent me home. This was both a blessing and a curse because I was burnt out and wanted a new path in life but that was the only thing I had ever known I could do well. I have always had a fascination with photography but was never given the chance to try it. It always scared me, but now here I was in 2020 with nowhere to go but forward and nothing to lose. I started with film photography in 2021 and wanted to learn more about myself and how I viewed myself. I started in a very dark time in my life right after my 21st birthday when everything seemed to be falling apart around me. It allowed me to explore depression and how to dig myself out of this hole but also share what it felt like to me. After that I wanted to give myself a challenge and photographed my friends and tried to make a story with them through photographs. Now I'm here trying to face my fears and photograph out in public and I want to share that experience with others. I'm putting this here because I want to let others know it is never too late to start something new and choosing a single path to follow right out of high school doesn't always work for everyone. It's ok to start over.
