I enjoy photography the most as it lets me stay in the moment, yet disappear behind a lens for a split second to freeze what never was and what never will be again. It's the candid moments that have my heart. They're not always clean, sharp, by the book. You have to be innovative, think on your feet, move to get the shot that you want, and when you do get it, you freeze a moment in time that can be looked back on.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes to me when my conversations pair with my ADHD. Not as a way to distract or pull the focus but really spark and see something interesting to then make sure that my focus shifts directly towards that and is able to see it not just in my head, but capture it so that others can see what's going on inside my head as well.
What would you do with $25,000?I invested more in myself, whether it's classes, gear, or experiences. Really hold my craft so it's not just pushing buttons, but it's creating art, and more art that tells a full story, not just a paragraph.
