Q. Where are you from?
A. Tacoma, Washington
Q. How did you get started?
A. When I was about 15 years old, my cousin had a nikon camera that we would take pictures of each other with. We would thrift and put on outfits and snap photos of each other. He later sold me that camera and I started using it to take photos of other people. In early 2018 I found a canon sureshot at a goodwill and that helped me find my style with film.
Q. How did you get you inspiration?
A. I wanted to recreate and show what a hispanic household looks and feels like in the United States. An upbringing of a first gen Mexican-American
