A recent UC DAAP '20 graduate, my colleagues and I did not receive the traditional experience of commencement, or our annual fashion show held for the graduating fashion design students: With no other way of sharing our capstone projects, we relied on a digital gallery of our work. I chose to shoot my capstone collection myself, understanding that my own point of view would be the most authentic--this is where my passion for photography and storytelling developed. Since graduating in May of 2020, I have been focusing on my photography full-time; pushing myself to share stories that, sometimes, are personal to me and other times are far different from my own experience. This has helped to expand my view of the world and my place in it.
Thank you for your consideration.
