2020 was a huge turning point in my life. I “graduated” that year, and spent the next year in a peralyzed state. Near the end of my highschool career I had been introduced to Automotive Photography, which inspired me to begin learning the History and Art of photography as a whole. I started taking pictures on my phone of normal everyday life, but I felt limited. During the peak of covid I decided to invest money in a camera, and all I wanted to do was go out and practice, but due toquarantine I was stuck. I found myself taking several pictures of random objects around my room like “Hotwheels”, as well as what landscapes were local. I began to practice in anyway I could to teach myself this craft, from shooting random objects, to editing raw stock images, or even the camera mode in the video game “Forza Horizon”. I realized the more I focused on my love for photography the more clear my dreams became. “This is something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”
