As a child, I saw a documentary about Ansel Adams and from then on, I knew I wanted to be a photographer when I grew up. My love of photography grew deeper while taking my first photography class, which is where I made my first prints in a darkroom. Black and white photography has been my specialty for years, and after discovering hand tinted prints I began to add just a bit of color to my works. Gradually, I began to shoot more and more color photography.
