Welcome to Story Six! I’m excited to share some of my inspirations with you. As a naturally creative person, I love exploring various artistic outlets, with music being a major influence. Music plays a HUGE role in my life and often shapes my work.

For instance, much of my photography is inspired by different musical decades. The sandwich photoshoot you see below, for example, was inspired by Patsy Cline’s “Crazy.”

I’m particularly drawn to the creative styles of the 70s through the 90s. For instance, my fisheye photos were inspired by 90s Hip-Hop, with artists like Queen Latifah, 2Pac, Eve, and Missy Elliott greatly influencing my photographic approach.
