Can I reintroduce myself?

Hi, I’m Arthur, and while I have had some wonderful summer vacations abroad thanks to my incredibly supportive mom, most of my adventures have unfolded right here in Fresno. However, I took a significant step by attending Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida, where I earned my degree in Film and Video Production. This experience has given me the skills and knowledge to pursue my passion behind the camera, but as good as my memory is, I honestly can't remember the moment I wanted to be a photographer, but I do remember the scene…

Summer 2012. Front row. In the audience. I was taking a picture of the bassist I had a crush on with the only camera I had on me at the time: my cell phone. I won’t show you the picture since it was just as terrible as my huge crush on her.

While all this was occurring, I recall reflecting on my recent activities and how my years of photography merged with the techniques I was acquiring. This realization went beyond just the photo I had taken; it encompassed the moment I had captured. 

I had a deep realization. I recognized that my life had transformed, that I had evolved into a different person, and that events had unfolded, not merely around me or in close proximity but directly to me. I understood that I bore the responsibility for all of this, that the journey leading up to that moment played out like a captivating scene from a movie, with my camera and I capturing these remarkable experiences to share with the world. 

I didn’t just fall in love with photography. I rose in love with it and everything surrounding it.

Later that year, a former crush, now close friend, let me borrow her camera during a road trip, and the rest, they say, is history.

I've always been very emotional and artistic, but I never had a way to express that art. Now, I was finally doing what I was supposed to be doing. Life, love, music, moments—all these things blended together and led me to a place where I could do what I was doing.

But that's enough about me. Despite all this, it’s hard to talk about myself, but I thought I should paint a quick picture for you. I'll tell you what, though, I’d rather connect with you to provide you with the best value for the events in your day-to-day life. So, feel free to reach out or message me, and we can take it from there.
