Would you consider your photos more planned or spontaneous? Most of my photos are spontaneous. All of my street photography is just being at the right place at the right time and visualizing the moment in my head before it occurs. Of course, when I’m shooting a session with an individual, the photos are planned and staged. I get a lot of candids from those sessions too, though, since I tend to shoot as we’re walking somewhere.
What are your next steps? Oh, man. I’m always trying to keep the big picture in mind in my life. I’m planning on applying to medical school within the next two years, so school takes top priority. Photography for me is a passion, but I definitely couldn’t see myself doing it for a living. The types of things I shoot . . . it doesn’t pay bills. I do it because I love it, and that’s about it.
