My grade school teacher, Mrs. Abenoja, told me this when I was sitting outside watching the other kids play after I’d just transferred to a new school.

First I would like to say I enjoy your editing style and photography skill. But I was wondering what’s your process when editing?

it’s changed a lot over the course of the last few years, but this past year in particular, my friend keyan mentioned “neutralizing” an image, and it sort of changed everything for me.

Hi I saw you at the VA concert and was too nervous to ask questions lol but what is your main inspiration for your photography or do you just ball?

a lot of my best work is fostered organically, or whether i’m viscerally inspired by a feeling or a state i’m in.

the live shows are a mix of intuition and precision. i don’t really know the titles of a lot of the songs, but i can feel it in my chest and my ears because i refuse to wear earplugs. so a lot of the camera movement is reactionary and explosive.

photography stresses me out. iPhone again has been refreshing. i can’t see myself willingly switching back to dslr anytime soon, but it’s the industry standard, i suppose.
