This story begins 15 years ago when I read a simple quote “Something from Nothing”, though it sounds plain, it resonated with me. Whenever I begin a creative project and am stuck on an idea, I always turn to the quote “something from nothing” creating “something” from essentially nothing. Taking something that someone would overlook, getting that perfect angle, bringing out its inner beauty and visualizing the result. My vision and passion for photography is founded on the same principal by taking ordinary landscapes, local places, and everyday people and transforming them into something extraordinary through the lens.
