Hello my name is Gabe and photography is my passion. I love every aspect about photography! There is absolutely nothing better than capturing an image that is visually striking. I started my photographic journey by accident when I was a teenager. I was working at a frame shop at the time and was continuously exposed to photography from both respected and established artists and from up and coming armatures. It was this constant exposure that sparked my curiosity. After many years of admiring the art form of photography, I decided to dive in to the field with every ounce of motivation that I had. I started my education at Victor Valley College where I not only learned how to shoot with the classic 35mm and 4x5 film mediums, but also learned how to use adobe products to enhance my digital shots. After a few years I left VVC with an associate degree in fine art and a certificate for digital photography. I have since transferred to Cal State Fullerton where I am working on finishing my bachelors degree in creative photography.
