I’m currently studying at UMass Boston. I first fell in love with photography after I took a class in school. I am still in the process of learning and understanding more about all aspects of it. Even though it hasn’t been long time, photographing people, every-day objects and different scenery is my passion. I find joy and fulfillment in being able to capture stories and memories in a single picture.

After realizing my new-found hobby, I have had numerous opportunities to shoot portraits for different models, landscapes, magazine work and events including, but not limited to weddings and parties. I am able to develop good RAW picture files as well as delivering edited pictures as I am experienced in Adobe Photoshop. Please do not hesitate to contact me for events or location shoots. I took the pictures below during a recent trip to White Mountains in New Hampshire. I used Canon 5D Mark III DSLR, and 16-35mm f2.8 and 24-70mm f2.8 lenses for these pictures. |
