Best Photos of 2022

2022 was another year of firsts for me. I photographed and wrote three articles for The Denver Voice newspaper, two of those articles made the front cover and I had a feature written about me. Another first was recording video during my shoots this year. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to videography and will get better each time I record and hope to showcase my videos in 2023. Although I didn’t shoot and post as much as I would’ve liked, 2023 will be a good year for me to produce, create and capture many stories and events! As 2022 comes to a close, these are my best photos of the year.

Challona Coleman: Changing the World with Music

I’m honored to highlight my good friend Challona Coleman, a multitalented musician who has quite a diverse and artistic style. I’ve known Challona for over 15 years and she’s always been a great friend and photo muse for me. She’s such a great talent that I hope takes over the musical world. I highlighted her for the August Artists of Color issue of The Denver Voice newspaper. You can read my article on her here.
