🏙 From the Heights to the Bronx - NYC Raised Me

Born and raised between Washington Heights and The Bronx, I grew up surrounded by vibrant culture, color, and community.The energy of this city shaped everything, from my creativity to the calm, moody style I shoot with today.

New York is a mix of art deco charm and modern edge, and that contrast shows up in some of my proudest work.

🔁 Back to the City, Back to the Lens

After spending the last few years moving between New York and the West Coast, I found myself always drawn back home and back to photography.

To be real: I hit a creative block.Life, burnout, and ADHD made inspiration hard to come by. But walking the streets of Inwood, Harlem, and the Bronx reminded me why I picked up a camera in the first place.

This city re-lit that spark.

🎞 Capturing People as They Are

Photography came back to me in the same places I used to daydream as a kid. Now, with new energy and clarity, I focus on creating portraits that are:

• Natural

• Timeless

• Grounded in real emotion

I shoot with a calm, storytelling approach more real moments, less stiff posing.
