Every picture tells a story... Telling a story with photography is a hard thing to do... I like creating so other's can see what I see.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Photography... Mainly black and white photography
Where do you find inspiration?I find my inspiration from my culture... Stories for my culture are often told by someone who isn't apart of my culture and it is hardly told from someone who is apart of my culture! I want my story to be told by me and no one else. Telling a story with photography is really challenging but something I take great pride in delivering!
What would you do with $25,000?Continue to create art and take as many pictures of the Elderly people because some have never gotten their pictures taken professionally!
