some insight about my photos'
I have many passions ranging from photography and music all the way to education and art . Having been an avid photographer for the last four years, My primary focus is close up shots and portraits of bands. What got me into music initially was the fact that my father was a musician in a band that played a lot of glam rock in the mid 70's. I used to love looking at my father's band photos and would often say to myself that i would love to photograph like the photographers who had taken them.

ARTIST STATEMENT (Painting)
When I create my art, I try to use colors and design to my art, as for me being a artist I use subjective content like people in situations, I feel as me being a artist and always traveling and seeing many things in my life has changed and formed me into a more intense artist in figurative art and at times abstract art too as well take Photos within Music and events .

I like the viewers to come to a clear understanding of my art when they looked at it in any space or gallery I try to convey different images into my work and show that it's simple to be human and to be something within you.
