My journey as an artist is relatively short, tracing back to my beginnings on Instagram in October 2012 as an amateur iPhone photographer. It took time for me to capture a truly noteworthy photo – and even that initial achievement is debatable!
The allure of taking photos spontaneously (literally “on the run”) coupled with the advancement of iPhone technology, encouraged me to continue experimenting with this medium.
Contrary to a background rooted in creativity, I spent the last 13 years as a social media marketer and arts administrator. Now, as the Arts, Culture & Tourism Coordinator for the City of St. Pete, I continue to be surrounded by creative souls and supportive friends who inspire me to explore my “eye for photography”, but I often perceive it as a blend of luck, good timing and patience.
Lacking formal artistic skills and uninterested in traditional photography equipment, I sought to elevate my craft by enrolling in iPhone Photography School in 2018. Complet- ing courses such as the iPhone Photo Academy, iPhone Landscape Mastery, and the iPhone Editing Academy marked the beginning of my exploration. The journey doesn't end here – there's more to come! My plan is to continue learning and experimenting with diverse perspectives. In a world where everyone possesses a smartphone, I aim not just for beautiful photos but for exceptional ones. The quest for uniqueness and excellence is an ongoing adventure that I'm excited to embrace.
