I stumbled into a black and white film class sophomore year of high school and have been hooked on photography since. Originally I struggled to find inspiration for photographs outside of classroom assignments, but during the summer of 2013 I discovered urban exploration photography and fell in love. I am fascinated by the beauty of decaying spaces and the manner in which light interacts with these locations. There is an amalgam of texture and color to be found in decay that inspires me consistently. Nothing could be more satisfying than exploring and documenting the hidden worlds that exist, untouched in the middle of the city.
