Portraits, Flow Arts & Fire Photography

I am a trans-nonbinary architect, performance artist, and photographer based in Oakland, CA. While I have been taking photos my entire life with hand-me-down cameras, I have been truly practicing the craft since 2016 when I was given my older siblings' old Canon Rebel T2i. I learned how to use DSLRs that summer at my last year of the fine arts camp that I attended in middle and high school, and have been fully hooked since. I used that camera all the way until I bought my Canon EOS 5D Mk IV in Spring 2023.I have been practicing flow arts and fire photography almost as long as I have been in the community when I joined it in Fall 2017. These photos started as part of the flow arts club I was a part of throughout college, and continued as something that I only did with friends for a few years after. In the beginning of 2025, I decided to start taking photos of the local fire jam and have now become a staple photographer of the community.
