Read MoreAs a photographer, I’d always hear people tell me that when they look at my work, they get a feeling of zen. And it was funny because that’s not something I specifically intended to go for, nor is it part of my personality, but throughout the years of following what I was drawn to aesthetically, this feel naturally derived as something I needed in my life.
