You can call me "5".
**Music under: m5 vibe**
I was raised in the South but now currently based in Eugene, Oregon. I have a deep love for the candid and the unscripted. I have been shooting on and off since I can remember, starting off with disposable film cameras photographing my friends, family, classmates, and all types of gatherings. That early instinct shaped me into more of a documentary style photographer, drawn to natural motion, unusual angles, and the quiet power of real life unfolding.
Whether I'm capturing events, festivals, weddings, or the motion of the streets, i try to gather the essence of the particular moment, observing with intention and feeling. If an image moves me, makes me pause, or reflect, i know it's something worth sharing. Photography constantly challenges how I see the world. It pushes me to translate that vision into something others can feel. I have performed for many years under the artist name: m5 vibe. That experience has helped me understand what other artists and event organizers are looking for as well.
Over everything, it just feels good to take a beautiful / meaningful shot that I admire, share it, and that for whoever receives or views it feels great about it as well.
