Born in Plymouth, Wisconsin in 1998. From a young age, I had been interested in photography but had not pursued it as a business till 2013. Photography has remained a large part of my life and has allowed me to capture incredible images. I am currently based in Plymouth still but will soon be traveling abroad to different states and/or countries.
A friend and I were exploring a nearby city and accidentally stumbled upon this location. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed to capture something incredible. We put my camera onto a tripod and began shooting. After bringing the images into Adobe Photoshop and compositing them, this was the end result. It was incredible to see something beautiful come from a completely unplanned situation.
In winter this is a very difficult view to see. The pier gets covered in ice and is constantly pelted with waves. It is such a beautiful sight to see, though so trecherous. I find it always worth it.
Great images can come from something even ourselves overlooked. It wasn't until a few months after the original image had sat in a file that I had decided to alter it. To portray emotion through a photograph without directly saying what it means is one of my goals. If this makes you think of some emotion, no matter how little, then I have done my job.
