How wanting to “capture the world” started…

2010

INSPIRATION.

My first “favorite” image captured.
In that second, a bee landed on this bright yellow flower. I saw it, photographed it and the photo will forever be(e) mine.
Zoomed in, life can be seen in many different perspectives. From the perspective of the flower, bee or me.
QUALITY.

Flowers catch my eye because of the detail. From the petals to the seeds. A tiny colorful piece of life, that attracts life.
When manipulated in different perspectives, saturated or desaturated color can provide so many depths to a photo.
PERSPECTIVE.

Another complex subject that catches my eye is the sky.
My head is often in the clouds because I have an imaginative mind. It allows me to look at life both, simply and complex.

TakING PHOTOS with anything possible

I remember borrowing my mom’s Nikon DSLR on family trips. Not wanting to take family photos but trying to capture “cool” things I could see.

With technology, I had whatever camera was available on my phone at the time.

I remember buying a Canon Cybershot, my first digital camera, and shooting with my best friend whenever our families brought us along to any gathering.

I got an iPod touch and was mesmerized by the quality a camera it had — plus it stored music.

My first DSLR was a Canon t3i, which I still shoot with today. Just been changing the lenses.

Today, my most carried around camera is my iPhone 12.
