I’m 19 and from Apollo, PA. I’m pursuing a degree in Environmental Engineering at IUP while photography is my main hobby aside from hiking. I’ve been to almost every wilderness area in West Virginia and frequent the Allegheny National Forest area, taking pictures all the way. No matter how far away from home I am while hiking, I always feel like I’m walking through the woods in my backyard and home is just down the hill. I really like to emphasize this calmness of nature in a lot of my more abstract close up images I take while hiking. Another one of my favorite things to think about while in the field is breaking down chaotic scenes (rushing streams, huge forests, etc.) into smaller simpler compositions. Shooting this way also makes each image very unique so that is cool. I like to take pictures of almost anything though, not just nature stuff. Street photography is a different genre that I also enjoy, downtown Pittsburgh is my favorite go to. I do some storm chasing too in the summer, so I have a good bit of lightning and storm photos. Nothing beats standing in a field holding a camera in a lightning storm. If ya want a print or need pictures taken for anything send me an email.
