"When
I was in school a photographer told me that my pictures were showing
how a situation looked and not how it felt. That was a big moment for
me, because now I really try to focus on feeling in my shots.
The combination of beautiful aesthetic and storytelling moments is
what I strive for in my photos. I love color and design, and I hope
that my images always reflect that.
I've always been a big fan of sports, so to shoot them is the
ultimate rush. I try to play the games in my head along with the
athletes."
