I started taking my photography seriously in the Summer of 2013 after moving to New York City. With my Canon 7D, I did a lot of portrait and event work at the graduate school I attended. I also roamed NYC photographing the city on my own. That summer is when I began learning the ins and outs of my camera and how to photograph.

Between then and now, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve done weddings, engagements, more portraits, some studio work, learned a lot about lighting, filters – you name it. And there’s still a lot for me to learn. But I wanted to share 3 things that I’ve internalized since becoming a photographer that I hope can help an aspiring photographer reading this.
