I am a freelance photographer who developed a passion for photography at an early age. My artistic focus began as I studied photography at Chicago State University and have since explored and documented the beauty and interactions of the African experience. My diverse photographic interests range from documentary, photojournalism, events and portraits. I have been an active member of Chicago Alliance of African American Photographers (CAAAP) since 2006 and served as CAAAP secretary since 2007. I am the official photographer of the "Drum Divas" a female African American rhythm drum group. My images have been in several publications. I am currently a part of the CAAAP group exhibition "A Ten Year Retrospective" at the Carter G. Woodson Library (95th & Halsted). My major influences are Roy DeCarava, Gordon Parks and Henri Cartier-Bresson.
