My work dives into both documentary and posed portrait photography. I enjoy photographing remarkable moments in which could never be duplicated as well as beautiful posed portraits. Over the course of this book you will be viewing photographs that have been taken in different parts of Illinois. I have been influenced by many photographers such as: Martin Parr, Rineke Dijkstra, Erica McDonald, and Garry Winogrand. My work is based mainly with natural light and is primarily in color. Since a young age I have enjoyed taking photographs that capture not only memories but beauty as well.
