Photojournalism
This collection documents moments from campus events, community gatherings, and student life. From Biscuits & Breezing to athletic events and assignments for student publications, these images focus on capturing interactions and environments as they naturally unfold. My approach to photojournalism centers on patience and awareness, allowing moments to develop rather than staging them. Each gallery highlights a different event or setting, offering a closer look at the people, energy, and atmosphere that shape these spaces.
