I can’t believe how fast another year has come and gone. This year brought new challenges and successes for me. I photographed three events and wrote two journalistic articles that were published in the Denver Voice newspaper, established new photography connections and learned about the newspaper industry. I’m already looking forward to capturing more great photos in 2022! Below are my best photos of 2021:
My First Published Article: Denver Voice Photos and Article of a Black Cosplayer
I’m thrilled to announce my first journalistic article and photos were published! I was blown away when I saw the printed copy and was amazed at how great the layout looks. Race is never an easy topic to discuss but cosplayer Tif Von Batsy handled the topic with ease and was very eloquent discussing her experiences as a black cosplayer. I was excited to produce this article and was glad to see it well received.

Tif vonBatsy at Fan Expo Denver
This weekend I attended Fan Expo Denver and shadowed a cosplayer named Tif vonBatsy! She was cosplaying as Mirajane’s Satan Soul: Halphas, from the Fairy Tail Guild anime universe. I’m producing a story on her for The Denver Voice newspaper on what its like being a BIPOC cosplayer. It was such a fantastic experience hanging out with her and learning a lot of information about cosplay. I’m looking forward to the article coming out and sharing. In the meantime, here are some photos from the event:
Denver Voice Article: Boulder Burlesque Returns to the Stage with Hot Stuff Summer
I wrote an article! I’ve become more enthusiastic about photojournalism within the last few years and got an opportunity to shoot and write an article for the Denver Voice newspaper. After photographing Boulder Burlesque’s Hot Stuff Summer, I interviewed the producer Crista Reid to gain more insight about the dance organization. I was nervous to interview but found it very exciting and engaging. I’m looking forward to writing more articles and shooting more stories!

Boulder Burlesque Presents: Hot Stuff Summer
After a year of being virtual Boulder Burlesque was finally able to re-hit the stage with their first live show of the year, Hot Stuff Summer. This show was in front of a sold out crowd and it did not disappoint. I’m always honored to work with this organization and photograph there spectacular shows! It’s always so hard to narrow down which photos to showcase, so if you’d like to see more photos from this event click here
