I have been a photographer for about five and a half years now, mostly freelance. In 2025 I started to pursue my BFA photography at Lynn university, I am now a sophomore at Lynn pursuing this focus. I still freelance for a number of clients and different events. I am experienced in diverse fields such as nature, portrait, candid, sports and other miscellaneous photography fields. Throughout my whole life I've observed more little things then those around me, and I have always felt that they are often overlooked and not cared for as much. For me, just because something is small and not the most beautiful, relatively speaking, does not mean that it is not important nor does it mean that it is not beautiful. My goal in creating this series is to share the beauty that is often missed because of what it is surrounding something, or to focus on the details of an object rather than whole picture. The goal is to shine a light on an animal or object that is not normally viewed as the center of importance. Overall the common theme is nature but the focus within nature is the details and beauty of hidden and small parts of nature. Each photo in the collection was shot in Manuel or Aperture priority to show the details and focus of a plant or wildlife. I am expecting the reaction to be peace as each photo brings the idea of something that is overlooked and not viewed as the subject of importance normally. A reaction of a new found importance and degree of importance on each showcased part of nature that has been overlooked.
