Hey,
I'm Ian Washington.
I'm from a small town called Oberlin Ohio and out there is where I got my love and passion to see life for the beauty and the hidden gems around the world. I got into photography after one day sitting on my bed thinking about what I can do or what I'm good at that can make me money doing the things I like to do and.... THEN IT HIT ME !!!!!!!!!!
While going thru my camera roll I realized "Hold up i can actually take a good photo". And from then on I always was fascinated with taking photos of nice landscapes and people myself included and had the idea of "Why not be a photographer and see where it goes. Its been 5 years now and I'm excited to capture some of life's amazing moments with you and hope you book with me soon WE HAVE SOME MEMORIES TO CAPTURE.
From the grass-roots
beginning.
In the paragraph above I talked a little about what got me started wanting to become a photographer to continue on from that there was a point in my life where I had to choose what do i want to do for the rest of my life that i have no problem waking up early for or going to sleep late. "What was that something that i didn't have a problem sacrificing money time sweat even tears and stress for". I SAID and Thru the long thought of asking myself "is this what i wanna commit the rest of my life to"?
And I said YES.. and since then the journey i have been on to get here has been a great ride of learning from self-teaching to quizzing myself on the things i learned while building up confidence to talk and connect with strangers and ultimately capture the amazing moments this life has to offer all of us. And that became the whole WHY i wanted to be a photographer so i took action starting small with getting a camera and some gear and working with what i had a mastering that before making bigger purchases and building a portfolio and that got me to where am i now and im happy to say that im proud that i was able to make something of myself that not only can help me but bring much joy to so many people.
