I spend my time photographing careful and honest documentation of my parents. From behind the lens, I showcase my father's beautiful triumphant highs and his life in the circus contrasted against the lows of my mother's declining health. I document the emotions that are immediately identifiable and don’t often require searching for.
Mentor: Andrea Modica, Photographer
Working with my mentor Andrea Modica was a true honor! It also helped that we had some of the same personal experiences and interests. With the short amount of time we had, I learned a ton from Andrea and I am very lucky to have her as a mentor.
