About my art:
I would say that I have a very unique style of photography. I use my creativity in a more unconventional way to show a bigger message. I've tackled issues of war, racism, sexism, and more recently fat-ism. I use photoshop a lot and I am a master at it. I like to use a lot of contrast in my photos with different bold colors.
