For the last few years I’ve been taking just about any freelance gig that would pay my price, it didn’t matter the work, weddings, events, portraiture, if I felt like I could do it I’d go for it! I’m grateful that I’m able to make money from photography, but there is always a little part of me that wishes someone would let me document their event or their wedding like I document out on the streets every day. No posed shots, no shallow depth of field request, just raw photographs of people in their natural element. There’s nothing better than being hired for a job because someone likes your work. Not your price, but YOUR WORK.

Recently this little dream of mine came true, this week I was commissioned to shoot the Fight for 15 rally out in Flint, MI and Detroit MI. I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into to, but they said they liked my style of shooting and that alone got me pumped! I won’t go into too many details of what happened, but for context there was an accident out in Flint. A truck collided with the protesters, I didn’t see what happened, but I did make it back to the scene to capture the aftermath. According to the news report, 6 were injured, I hope they’re okay.
