“I got my first DSLR when I was 13 for my bat
mitzvah. Before that I would have little, tiny digital
cameras. I would take pictures of everything. I did
sports photography and portraits. My sister played
soccer, so I’d go to the games and take pictures to
share with everyone. I definitely like other people
appreciating my art; that’s basically what I do it for.
I’m not just an artist for aesthetics. I like to make
art that has an impact on people. I like to do stuff
that people can either relate to or help them get
through something. Or it will point out something
that’s wrong in society.”
