I am a graduate of South Aiken High School. I completed one semester at Francis Marion University in pursuit of my Bachelor\'s Degree in Physics; after another half semester, I withdrew. I am now pursuing my dream of photography in the Associates\' Degree program for Commercial Photography at Trident Technical College. My preferred medium is digital, but I have some experience with shooting film. I worked at Bryn-Alan Studio shooting senior portraits to gain experience, and I may return to Bryn-Alan in the near future to shoot high school sports.

After picking up my first digital camera and taking a few architectural shots, I came to love photography. I then came upon a project that was to count as my final exam for Art 101 at Francis Marion University. At that point, I decided to get a better camera and use my own pictures for my project. After that, I knew that I wanted to be a photographer.. My favorite subjects to shoot are models, sunsets, sunrises, nature, architecture, and animals. I also shoot weddings, special events, senior portraits, sports, product-advertising, and editorial. Ask about my rates for any of your photography needs.

I encourage others to offer their feedback on my work, both positive and negative. I accept positive feedback as compliments and use the negative as constructive criticism to improve on my work. More recently, I have received compliments of the highest degree. Numerous people have asked Christina Michelle if her pictures shot by ALFONZPHOTOGRAPHICS and Mike Eaddy were shot by me. Both of these photographers take amazing shots, and I feel very honored to have my work compared to theirs.

My work has not been exhibited, although I would like it to be. My work is showcased currently online only. At this point, I have entered into no contests in which to receive awards. Although, a lot of my work is good, I still have a lot to learn; a photographer can never have too much experience or learn too much. I would like to be published in magazines and sell my work in order to become known. My dream is to work for National Geographic as a full-time photographer and get paid to travel the world. Until then, I will continue to shoot what I see and improve everything that I do.
