My Passion for photography began early on in my teens with urban culture. I’d often spend days wandering L.A, photographing anything that looked interesting. Usually graffiti, sketchy places or people. I then began reaching out to some of the artist to show them the images I took of their art work and before you knew it, started gaining a bit of a following. This was the first following I had “prior” to instagram, it was so organic. Though it’s not what I shoot any longer, This was the beginning of my real interest in using a camera, and I loved it.

Later on, I then enrolled in some art classes with our local college, from there graphic design and photography. After learning the fundamentals, and actually how to use the camera, everything changed. I now had the ability to fully control an image from nothing but the settings of the camera, lighting and etc, this amazed me.
