I’ve lived in New York City since 2011 pursing my masters in acting from Columbia University. I grew up doing youth theater and was excited for the day I was a “real” actor and got to take a headshot. What fascinated me most was how the photographer grabbed the actor’s essence in a single photograph. My photography career started as a photography assistant for weddings and events in the San Francisco Bay Area and the surrounding counties. I learned a lot in that time but learned most of all what I love is the one on one interaction with people.
