CAREER OBJECTIVES

I am a freelance photographer hoping to gain new knowledge in regards to something I have always loved; editing! I have been using Adobe Photoshop to edit and create art since 2008 and have worked as a freelance photographer since 2012. After my recent solo exhibition and graduation, I am now looking for a stable income in the field of photography.
