I have been into art and anything creative since I was a kid.
I took all these photographs in high school and received the highest score (in my school) on my AP art exam.
These are some of my fav pics that I've taken and I thought I'd start to share them.
I will prob upload some of my paintings and other artworks as well.
The photographs were taken in New York, Los Angeles, Colorado & Ireland.
I love candids but I also love creating magic.
I use to bring my camera literally everywhere in high school and I would snap everything.
One time at Steve Vai's (American guitarist) house party, this llama broke my camera and I was so pissed but also in awe because--wow man what a story.
I was clearly trying to take a picture of the llama and he/she was camera shy.
The camera still works but unfortunately it just is really slow.
So basically, I upgraded to almost the exact same cannon rebel (but newer version of course).
I use a couple different cannon rebels (film & digital), nikon D90, a go pro, a cool pix for music festivals (that suprisingly take awesome night shots-even though the thing is a dinosaur), a polaroid, disposables, and my iPhone.
I have some beautiful artworks from when I was a child that I'll upload in another post.
My dream as a kid was to move to New York and go to art school and have my art work in an art gallery. I got in to all the top art schools in LA & NY but for personal reasons I decided to stay in LA and go a different path. But looking at all this makes me so nostalgic and I'm getting inspired to make more art.
I had a special art studio area (first in my room--but the fumes were toxic--so then in the loft area) in my parents house and I can't wait to have my own in my future house someday.
My parents were so chill to let me paint on all my walls growing up as well. I would draw graffiti and paint on my walls as a teenager. It was part of my process. I would also sit at my canvas for days just creating beauty.
One of my fav jobs as a teenager was working the Vans Warped tour(as a photographer) in 2008ish and having a press pass and getting to go backstage and work with all my fav bands. I was also working with my friends magazine. It was one of the highlights of that year. I took pics of Katy Perry right after her song "I kissed a girl" came out. It was an epic music festival hands down.
I truly believe that art is healing for the mind, body, & soul and you can make it at any age.
Right now I've been just using my phone to take pictures and coloring in coloring books for stress relief.
I'm going to start making it a thing again. I really miss it.
Thanks for reading! Enjoy :) xx
