Born in Brooklyn, NY, I’ve been inspired by the motto “Spread love, it’s the Brooklyn way!” Through sights and images, sharing the vision of life through the mode of a lens is a passion that has flourished throughout the years. Drawing heavy inspiration from a creative and photographic standpoint from photographer (and cousin) Lawrence Miner, Jr, I try to highlight what is easy to miss in daily life- existence. Spreading love for me starts with the moments not captured but can also be captured. Photos show a moment in time, the story of each photo is told through eyes, and those who also live their lives. Spread emotion, spread life, and above all spread love”
