Hello there, welcome to my photo portfolio!
Hobbyist photographer shooting a Nikon D5200 I picked up from the paycheck of my first summer job back in August 2014. Mostly with a Sigma 70-300mm or Vivitar 85-205mm lens, although I also have a great Tamron 10-24mm and a few others I've yet to really try out. Only recently found my way into the world of macrophotography with a black and white editing style though, both over lockdowns actually. Enjoying the niche while I'm here!

In terms of the editing, which is what I aim to highlight in my portfolio, my favourite style (by far) is when I manage to find a naturally red (or close to) coloured subject to photograph. Editing it with a selective desaturation style that I discovered on Tumblr while I was in high-school has allowed me to revisit an old technique with all of the recent innovation and upgrades of Adobe Lightroom 2022.
