I've been in love with photography my whole life. I tell everyone who asks that the tumblr era around 2011-2014 seriously influenced me. When I was younger I mainly took photos on my iPhone; this is what I was used to for awhile. During the pandemic and Black Lives Matter protests that were prominent at that time I picked up my dad's Canon Rebel T3i and started taking photos of protests. The protests I attended mean a lot to me and signify a huge shift with my photography. I got comfortable in my own shoes, doing new things, and learned a lot.
