Michelle's Story

My first experiences with photography were as a kid, hiking through the mountains with a disposable camera in my hand while admiring my dad's film camera.

During high school, in the early moments of digital photography, you were guaranteed to always find a disposable camera in my school backpack. I took so many photos of friends around school and marching band, my peers unanimously nominated me as historian.

​

In 2018, I embarked on a new challenge with my first DSLR: I have gone "shooting" every single week since, and have taken five photography classes with my mentor, Pulitzer Prize nominee George Wilson.

​

Finding my passion for photography has been like living one of those romantic comedies in which the girl learns that her true love was the friend who was by her side the whole movie.

​

In January 2020, I sold everything I owned and moved from Orlando, Florida to Seoul, South Korea, to teach English. Here, I pursue my passion for travel, black and white photography, and hiking through new mountains.
