Life After Death

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

Peru | Monday, January 14, 2013 | flickr photos

I am a Child God.
I am a Student of Life.
I am a Lover of all.

Through this internship, I hope to learn how to express the raw emotions of the environment through images and share the adventure. I would like to educate and evoke emotions from people that they may not have otherwise known/felt. I look to gain the full art of story-telling and interacting with viewers through photography.

My ability to submerge myself in my environment (and act like a local) has allowed me to capture images so that viewers feel like they are with me on the adventure. I bring a personal touch when I share my travels. That being said, I would like to learn the technicalities of on-location shooting and the use of key elements such as lighting, exposure, depth, composition, etc.

On July 8, 2012 my identical twin sister Melissa suddenly passed away; since then my perspective on life and everything else has undoubtedly changed. My passion for expressing emotions through art has reached new heights. This loss has empowered me to serve the larger society in a creative manner. To go after my dreams.
