Photography – Philadelphia

I am a 23 year old photographer based in Philadelphia. I have been capturing what I see since as a junior in high school. I have as much love for film photography as I do for digital. I am inspired by beauty, light, and youth. To me, taking pictures is the most honest conversation. It gives me a chance to express how I really feel when I can\'t explain into words. I was born in Paris, but raised in New York City for most of my life. Communication between one another was, and still is, sometimes hard because of my childhood. I learned three languages and was always moving around—all before I turned six—only to retain one language and slowly losing my first language. And that is why I photograph. www.drowninsanity.com www.facebook.com/pages/Drowninsanity-Photography/113519765348757 www.stardust-mag.com
