How/why did you start blogging?

How do you edit your photos?

I started blogging as an outlet for my own creativity. I discovered my love for photography in middle school and from there taught myself Photoshop and basic HTML/CSS to build websites. Since going to college and focusing more on marketing, I feel that I’ve lost touch with some of the things that I loved most, including photography and working on my own personal brand. This blog is a place where I can consolidate all of my passions and express myself the way I want to. Beyond being my own personal journal of sorts, I hope that it can provide meaningful, interesting content to anyone else who happens upon it.

Photos that I take on my SLR cameras I edit in Photoshop. Photos that I take on my phone and upload to Instagram I edit using a variety of apps, including Snapseed to edit the curves, add grain, and filter. For a long time I used VSCO instead – if you’re looking at my older photos on Instagram, I used the J5 or A4 (or a mix of the two) filters on VSCO.
