I am a student who is trying out freelance writing and photography to help pay for my education. Don’t let the fact I’m new to this fool you though, I have been writing reports and essays for school throughout my anthropology programs running the gambit of scientific fields. My photography experience goes back even further. I started my amateur career at 5 years old and I’ve been building up my portfolio with various fields of expertise this entire time. I feel like my work speaks for itself. I am also a very patient and understanding photographer who is more interested in what you want from a photo than anything else
