Biography

Born and raised in Nashville, TN. Attended the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where I was first introduced to photography as an art.





In college, I worked recreationally with digital cameras, practicing composition development more than technical skill enhancement. In photography courses, I used strictly fully manual film cameras with only Ilford B/W film (I was very picky). My two years of solid film photography developed a strong base of technical knowledge. Studying Ansel Adams' books (most notably The Negative) have helped secure my solid technical skills. Today, I work primarily digitally.





I'm currently a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, studying organic chemistry. Photography is my serious hobby, as well as a side career. Hopefully, if I manage to secure some funding, I will be able to take classes at the Brooks Institute of Photography.
