Food
The Project
Growing up, my parents loved spending time cooking in our family kitchen. From these hours spent helping and watching them cook I developed a love for food and photographing it. I am drawn to food photography because I am able to capture the social and cultural aspects that food represents.

Travel
The Project
At 17 years old, I had the incredible opportunity to spend my junior year of high school living with an Italian family in Viterbo, Italy. Not only did this give me the confidence to step outside of my comfort zone, but also sparked a travel bug in me. Subsequently, I have jumped on any chance I get to explore different places and always have my camera at my hip as it gives me security in unfamiliar places. Wherever I am able to travel, I set photography goals for myself about what subjects to focus on, from action shots to human interactions to landscapes.
