About
Hi! I'm Intricate Explorer.
My mission is to explore more.
Introduction
Fresh out of a relationship, I started photography back in 2018 with nothing but a cracked smartphone and a five dollar selfie stick.
My only goal at the time was to impress girls. I'd spent the past five years of my life with one partner, but it all fell apart. You know, the typical mid-twenties canon event.
So I started out with simple photography adventures- the parking garage down the street. The rock formation up the road. The illuminated pinball in the bar. But the more I shot, the more I realized that every adventure taught me a little about myself. And the more complex the adventure was, the more I learned.
Little by little, I felt myself growing, and the more I explored, the more my heartbreak seemed to fade away.
Today, I continue to believe in photography as a tool for self-growth. It forces you to look at the world in a way you never initially imagined- and in those details, find elements of yourself.
Also, hiking into a monstrous landscape all for a sunset photo is just really fucking fun.
