My love for photography came after taking photos at a football game. I decided to try it out and instantly fell in love. I then started attending more and more events with a school issued camera in hand. I saved up and bought myself a camera and started taking photos outside of school. I now work with small business and take senior/family photos on top of school events.
pErsonal instagram
After being asked countless times to send people photos after shooting different events, I decided to make an Instagram account to post my photos. While I post galleries on Wired, students find it is easier to find the photos on Instagram. I am able to tag people in the photos so they can easily find photos of themselves. This also helps boost recognition for myself and the Westside publications. I utilize the "collaboration" feature to post between Shield, Wired, and my personal Instagram all at once.
