A self portrait with my Fujifilm X100VI in my bathroom mirror.

The art of pausing and taking the shot.

I spend a lot of time behind a screen. When I’m in front of the computer, I am editing my most recent project or photography. When I’m in front of the TV, I’m catching up on Boston sports or playing video games on my Xbox. When I am on my phone, I am curating playlists to make sure I am always listening to my favorite music. 90% of my waking hours are spent in front of a screen, productively or not. It’s safe to say that blue light blocking glasses have been very useful in recent years. 

I am very passionate about my work. I like to dedicate a lot of time to make sure every detail is perfect and the way that I want it. My best friends are my two cameras, my dad’s hand me down Canon EOS Rebel T5 and my first very own purchase, a Fujifilm X100VI. I’ve been using my dad’s camera since the covid lockdown when we had to go outside with masks on, I would steal it and go for walks, documenting the trails around my house. Eventually, my dad found out but instead of getting mad, he asked to see my pictures and ultimately let me use it freely. I’ve also explored filming videos with my newest addition, the Fujifilm, which comes with a movie making mode. I love shooting anything out in nature, especially animals on my various trips to the local zoos. I like to utilize a lot of my own photography in my design work. Since taking photography classes in high school, I have used Lightroom and Photoshop to edit my own pictures and incorporate them into various projects. 

When I’m not in front of a screen or photographing the world around me, I like to go on fun excursions with my friends, visit my wonderful family, or kick a soccer ball around.
