Biography
Simply put, I aim to evoke a feeling of nostalgia in my images. I like soft lines and soft edges.
I’ve always been drawn to creative stuff, and I’ve learned that I need creativity in my life. Of all the creative things I’ve pursued, photography checks off the most boxes: it allows for collaboration, it’s of service to others, and it scratches my creative itch.
