I got my first camera in the mail 4 years ago. I initially bought it so I could film longboard videos with my friends, although I had dabbled in photography as a kid. Over the years I gradually picked up photography, mostly taking landscapes and general art photography. Recently I have been taking more and more photos of people, leading to the founding of Sunderside Studios. I am a high school student and it is hard to be taken seriously at this age in the headshot and media production industry, even if I feel like I've already graduated college. Right now I am searching for respect and a gateway into the real world.
