STUDYING IN MASSACHUSETTS, USA NOW! my school is near Davis Square T Station. find me if you can (:
I don't shoot photos to "look pretty" (not only because i don't think i am, but also because i don't think "prettiness" as an attribute you're born with has done the world much good anyway). I shoot to tell stories in stills. To work with fun, happy, positive teams and create something that will last me even when i'm x years old and unable to cartwheel on granite roads and laugh when i crash into the rough ground and get gashes on my hands (been there), to swim in frigid waters and take shots after shots of dark hair floating far away (done that), to roll in mud and dance in rain and not fall too sick the day after (and that too).
I always tell people that I'm not a model, I just model. I love what I do but I hate the associations it sometimes can come with it. I love what I've learnt, from castings, shoots, live shows and recorded shoots broadcasted to the world wide web. I love the wonderful people I've been privileged to meet and explore creative ideas with. I love how it trains your photographer's eye as well, and how it trains your body to be express emotions in the raw without language as a conduit.
Give me adventure, and give me life. And remember that nothing is ever boring or not-worth a photo, because things are as interesting and fascinating as you decide them to be.
I'm very excited for us to make magic, capture youth and weave narratives.
Thank you for reading this whole chunk (:
