What got you started with Photography?

“I took a photography course in high school because I had to fulfill an art credit, and I ended up liking it.”

What inspires you?

“I usually feel like I'm lacking something in my life. Maybe it's because I'm young, or because I'm not paying closer attention to what I have, but whatever it is, photography is helping me fill that in somehow.”

If you had a $5,000 gift card to a photo store, what would you spend it on?

“Probably a new DSLR, since I've been using the one I've had since high school while buying new film cameras.”



What’s your favorite type of photographic film?

“Portra 400 or Tri-X 400.”

You're stuck on a desert island with one camera of your choosing as well as unlimited batteries and film. What is your setup?

“A Hasselblad 500cm, Zeiss 50mm f/4 lens with either Portra or Tri-X. Assuming I'm alone, I can imagine myself going crazy and taking 'portraits' of like, trees.”
