I started in the world of photography in adolescence and it was my escape and form of expression, I attended Brooks Institute in California but due to addiction I had to drop out! After a 5-7year break I am back to holding a camera in my hands and trying to bring high quality photos of the part of the world I find stunning to the public! I am in recovering from addiction now and have been clean and sober for 11 years now and photography remains to be a part of my blood and something I hope to never stray from againI mainly shoot with Nikon and my prime lenses.
