My name is Jaz Ludwick, I am 20 years old and extremely passionate about photography. The world we live on is beautiful, I look around and think to myself, that we all are already in heaven. Nature is my most favorite to shoot. I have been taking photos for about 6 years and I have loved every click.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease and 6 co-infections; It took a huge toll on the world around me and especially myself. I quickly had to start treating it with toxic antibiotics, which i am still currently taking. Lyme disease threw me off my path and placed me on another one and i had no say. Photography helps me connect with the world around me and forget about all the negative things going on. It would be a wish come true to explore and photograph the world. It is my dream to be a professional photographer. I don't believe there is anything i can say to have whoever reads this choose me over the next person. But I do believe that if I get chosen, i would be extremely grateful and learn in everyway i can. Thank You so much for the amazing opportunity.
