Creating art through the viewfinder of a camera is a surreal feeling to me cause it’s freezing time for others to see through your eyes.

My favorite art to create is cinematic/editorial photography. I love freezing athletes, models, and racers in moments where pressure, confidence, and personality all come together.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in people who move with purpose like drivers before a race, athletes under pressure, models on the runway, and everyday people that standout. I’m inspired by music, streetwear, old film posters, fashion campaigns, and the split second emotion that happens right before action and when no one is looking. My goal is to make real people feel and see the best side of themselves.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use $25,000 to grow and upgrade my photography company such as lighting and production gear, fund editorial shoots, print large format artwork, and travel to capture more athletes, drivers, and creatives. I’d also create opportunities for local talent by giving them professional level photos they can use to build their own brands.
