Since as early as eight years old, when my grandpa put a camera in my hands for the first time, taking pictures of the people around me has always been a part of my life. As I grew older, I found myself being drawn to photography that showed and made me feel the greatness of being alive. Since understanding this, all the photos I take are in the hopes to capture that emotion, an appreciation for the beauty of small details alongside the big, the beauty of capturing love in movement or in a single glance, the beauty of simply being alive.
