ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I made this piece around a year ago. The concept of the shoot was a reflection of myself along with how far my work has come. Looking at the photos, they seems like it is one photo, but it is two completely different photos. They have the same sets, same mirror, and same grades. One may feel softer, while the other holds a better confidence. This series has little to no photoshop. The people in the photo are identical twins. Using two people that look exactly alike made it so people thought I photoshop the whole entire series, but I did not. This diptych was the start of me looking out of the box with not only my photography, but with my life. I hope you enjoy.

AUTHOR
Photography is not just a passion for me, but it is a lifestyle. I started capturing images at a very young age. To my parents, it was me playing with a disposable camera. When really it was me developing and slowly understanding the art better.
​
I decided to pursue photography as my degree at Columbia College in Chicago. There I learned studio lighting, digital editing, printing, and darkroom dynamics. I was able to fill in the gaps that I did not yet know. From there, I moved to Louisville, Kentucky where I assisted an editorial photographer named Clay Cook.
​
For a whole year, I was able to dive into the fashion realm of Louisville, including working events and assisting on photoshoots for Time, Forbes, The Voice, and many more publications. Being surrounded by a fashion saturated community made me realize my drive for creative portraiture.
​
Currently, I am working out of Chicago, capturing images with a twist. I always find elements to make any image stand out from the rest. Interested in working together? Feel free to contact me! I am a team player and always love working together to create the best work possible.
