I have been creating art related to miniatures since third grade. My medium of choice at the moment is a combination of many skills and interests. I design models that are 1/6th scale. I use a sewing machine to create miniature clothes after drafting the intricate patterns. All of the surrounding imagery in my photos is designed and built by myself using power tools, paint, woods, etc. I currently use a Nikon D3500, and my lens preference changes depending on the shot. My personal philosophy regarding photography is to use as little editing as possible to achieve the desired outcome. This means that most, if not all of my photographs use special effects like water, fire, smoke, and other incendiaries. I aim to portray themes of human suffering, authoritarian dictatorship, and nihilism through my work. I strive for realism. My job is accomplished when people mistake my photos for real life happenings or film stills. I aspire to work in the film industry or toy advertising.
