I first picked up a proper camera in 2016 - a hand-me-down Canon EOS Rebel T2i. A relic from the past, released in 2010, with two kit lenses and a 1.6x crop sensor. I learned the basics - shooting on manual mode, panning, proper lighting, and more - myself. I'm fully self taught, no proper instruction other than the depths of YouTube and the Internet.
It was when I attended the 2023 Daytona 24H IMSA race and brought my camera that I knew I wanted to take photography more seriously. Being awake for nearly 18 hours and taking pictures from so many spots around the 3.5 mile road course lit a fire in me that has yet to stop burning!
I've since upgraded my gear - to a Sony A7iii - with some better-than-kit-lens-glass. My first big break was with RPI Women's Hockey, and it's been barbeque chicken from there.
Below are some of my favorite pictures to date, spanning across the various genres I've shot!
I also do more than just take pictures! While an undergrad at RPI, I completed the coursework to get a Minor in Graphic Design, and it has been something I've used across my different work experiences! Below are some of my favorite graphic pieces that I've worked on, for various clients / purposes.
