Arts is something that I've always been interested in all my life. Ive always always wanted to be in the media showing off my work, and sharing my artistic abilities. but I never really could decided exactly what I want to do that relates to art. So I decided to pursue a career in mass media arts. Choosing this career path broadens my horizon. It allows me to go into any field in the media. I could be a graphic designer, a photographer, a web designer, a photo journalist, Film making and other mass media fields. I receive the idea of pursuing a career in mass media after participating in a summer program my sophomore year in high school. i could not decide whether I wanted to pursue photography or Film making so I decided to do both.

Accepting My Passion

To most people being a photographer is just taking pictures of random things they see when they are walking down the street, but to me photography is much more then that. Photography is capturing a picture and being able to tell an entire story from one shoot. Its catching a person or setting's beauty and showing the world. Photography is Art and takes a creative mind to be able to create something that speaks to the word and makes a person think. It tells stories.
             I first found out that I wanted to be a Photographer at the age of 12, when i first realized that I was photogenic. Though everyone thought i was photogenic and thought I  should be in front of the camera, I thought otherwise. I was interested in how the camera work and what the different functions on the camera did. Since everyone thought I was going to be in front of someones camera smiling and waving, I decided to do the unexpected. So while everyone thought I was photographing myself to practice to send pictures to someone's modeling agency i was actually testing camera functions.


             I accepted my passion and stuck with with it. As a famous photographer once told me.
"First you got to make, then you gotta master it, then you matter" -Allen Cooley.

My Life's Beginning

Making a decisions on what college you want to attend is a hard choice. You have to choose the college thats right for you. So people think "Just choose one, they're all the same thing and you still get a job afterwards." But that is not always the case. You want to go for the college that is known for the career you want to persue in life.

That is why i choose SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design). SCAD is known for producing many great artist ,and I believe that my love for photography will become stronger. For years I've been trying to find a college that fits me. Either the college is not diverse enough, doesnt offer the programs I need, or it didn't have my major. But SCAD has everything I need. I found this college through a friend
