You’re shooting at such a
high level, that it is easy
to forget you are just 24
years old. To what do
you attribute your early
success?
When I was around 16 years old
and just getting into photography,
a family member gave me a book
on the basics. I read it front to back
probably 6 times in a week span. I
think having both an appreciation
for the technicality as well as the
aesthetics really pushed me to
want to photograph.
This might not be the same for
every photographer, but I truly
loved learning how a camera
functioned. So at a young age, I had
for the most part learned a great
deal about how to properly take a
photograph, which allowed me to
then focus on concepts and all the
visual aspects later on.
