THE GALLERIES

Any time after 2008 you'd be hard-pressed to find me without a camera in my hand. After almost a decade and a half, I've found inspiration in many forms through my travels and experiences across the country. These galleries showcase my journey through photography and the beauty it's allowed me to witness over the years. Whether it be bringing other creative's visions to life, capturing a moment of genuine humanity on the street, or waiting for the perfect moment during a sunset over the Grand Canyon. My niche is remaining true to what brings life to myself and others. We are all multidimensional and creative beings. Explore all of your dimensions.

ALT. RENAISSANCE ORDER PRINTS

BY KATELYN KING

The ALT RENAISSANCE project is intended to celebrate and flagrantly flaunt the electric punk/rock/alternative energy pulsing throughout the underground DMV area. In a time where up and coming, young professionals choose to violently/abrasively/unapologetically express their art over whatever alternative society and/or family had expected of them. The era of the creative - this is what we celebrate.

PAINFULLY POSITIVE

INTERVIEW SERIES

Painfully Positive Episode #1: Trilla Kay

Interviewing/photographing underground artists with the intention of discussing fewer stats and more intent. Often times we wear too many hats. Before an artist ‘makes it’ (whatever that means), there is a grey area in between where they’ve put the time and experience into their craft and developed a mastery - but they’re also the promoter, accountant, editor, photographer, booking agent, make-up artist, stylist, manager, have a second job, etc. With their time and attention being pulled in every direction - managing all this and maintaining the mental clarity or even finding time to exercise their creativity is sometimes impossible. Let’s talk about the balance behind the scenes of seemingly glamorous lifestyles.

Press Pass Requirements: Gas Mask

Black Lives Matter Plaza, Washington DC.
Anyone without protective gear flees at the hiss of pepper spray or the crack of rubber bullets, which MPD were consistently eager to utilize on peaceful protestors. However, there were many photojournalists willing to walk directly into the madness rather than away from it. Many of which were arrested, beaten, or intentionally had their equipment destroyed by MPD in an *effort to destroy evidence of an uncomfortable truth.

Fire Season

Taken mid-day somewhere between Wisdom and Darby MT in the thick of fire season. That sunset-like glow is from the wildfire smoke rolling ruthlessly through the valleys. It was so thick you'd start coughing just from stepping outside. There air was filled with the smell of burning pine, juniper, fur, and cedar trees. Forest service teams were actively trying to contain the wildfires in this area at this time.

Mermaid Cove

Another breathtaking moment at Lake Tahoe. These giant boulders shield this little cove from harsh Sunlight. This pocket of the lake felt very tranquil and still - like right after a summer rainstorm at sunset. This is where the mermaids comb their hair and discuss lovers quarrels.

Finally Fading

After living in Reno for about a year, the 45 minute drive to Lake Tahoe had become my most meditative routine. Deciding to drive up on particularly cold or rainy days to avoid crowds. Walking around the lake, I'd search for the perfect view and sometimes wait hours for the right lighting to expose itself. This one was worth the wait.
