I’ve always maintained an affection for crafting visual arts that can convey specific emotions in a polished and clever manner. Discovering analog photography has allowed me to develop a deep passion for the technical aspects and rich history of photography as I continue to explore new films, equipment, and practices. The analog community has inspired me to share my works and advance my craft - I believe film conveys the nuances and imperfections of real life - characteristics that are often lost in the world of digital photography. The opportunities for experimentation have reinvigorated my affection for visual arts - not knowing how a frame will turn out until it’s developed, the uncertainty in how a film will render the colors and the shadows and the highlights of a scene, being limited to a set amount of shots per roll - analog has inspired me to go out and just shoot again. Each shot matters and every frame is interesting.
