I’m a photojournalist that has covered major news events with Hipstamatic—embracing a new visual language that lets me communicate with the public.

My whole goal is to create beautiful aesthetic images of important stories. I’m trying to find a way to attract the public—the audience—to events and ideas that might be looked over otherwise.
