Photography is a medium that is captured in a microsecond, and it lasts forever—THAT’S CRAZY. I first picked up a camera because I loved film and cinema, and I was drawn to photography as a more immediate version of storytelling.

Before building a career in photography, I was a photo hobbyist for a while. When I took photos, I wanted to absorb, enjoy, document and SPONGE UP this life that I have. I realized some of these moments are fleeting, and I wanted to capture them. I wanted to document human behavior and how it transcends into art—and how we keep these moments forever.

Looking back, I knew I wanted this as a career when I started, partly out of necessity. And because of this necessity and instinct, I attached business to photography right out the gate. So that’s what we’re going to teach: creating a career out of photography.
