Where do you find your inspiration? What motivates you to succeed?
i find my inspiration really on Instagram and other social media platforms. Photographers like @petermckinnon and @demas and @marksingerman really inspire me to create and they def keep me motivated to do so.

When did you recognize your creativity and talent? What inspired your creative vision? I recognized my creativity when I was in highschool, around my junior & senior years. I would always take pictures of myself for the gram but i would try to stand out from others, ya know, be creative with it. Everyone would start complementing it and i felt a sort of pride in it but i got bored with it and wanted to do something else with it. luckly i stummbled on another photosgraphers work on the gram and thats when i said to myself, thats what i wanna do. the rest is history. When constructing a concept or idea, do you ever find yourself thinking about how it will be perceived? I like to let the audience perceive my art however they want. so i guess you can say i do think about that then. |
Many of your photographs have the sky incorporated into the photo somehow. Does this have any special significance to you? Not really nothing too deep about it. But now that i think about it, probably relates to my faith in a way. When you thank God or ask Him for anything or just talk to Him, most people look up, where the sky is. See where Im kinda going with this? Plus, Im a sucker for a good sunset. Do you have a message that you'd like to share with the world? I actually have a 2. One message would be don't let your past define your future. No one is prefect. Your always gonna mess up. thats ok though, its part of growing. Learn from your mistakes and move forward. Don't hang on to them forever, move on. My last one is lead with love, in whatever you do. Love is so important nowadays. People need it more then ever, i think. So whatever you do, whoever you meet, whatever, lead with love. |
