When I first acquired my camera, I began my journey into photography by walking down the boardwalk in Pacific Beach during sunset. I would spend every evening approaching strangers and asking them if I may take their portrait.

Little did I know that this habit would eventually lead to chance encounters to photograph fascinating figures such as Jamie Thomas, Glenn Yong, and Alec Merlino. Years later, I’ve continued to photograph not only people I get to meet, but travels with my friends and stunning landscapes I’ve had the honor of experiencing in this life.
