statement

Art has always been a major part of my life, starting dance at a young age. I learned at a young age about artistry and portraying a message to audiences through movement. I take those ideas and concepts from dance and apply them to my photography. I look at line, shape, body placement, composition and lighting. My photography also uses color to portray messages. I am always developing and furthering my concepts and am excited to see where my photography takes me.
