Portaits

I'll be honest -- I don't know very many people in the city of Pittsburgh yet, so I decided to photograph the one I know best, my boyfriend Damian. For the series, I wanted to capture his multifaceted personality. By day he works as a biochemist, earning his PhD at Duquesne University. At night he's an amateur sound engineer and producer of EDM and electo-house music. While he has always excelled in the sciences, Damian has recently been progressing in the music industry as well. He's just released his first single under We Spin Records under the name of Midnight Monster. Despite his hard-working, stoic nature, Damian is also very empathetic and caring. He loves all people and animals, even those who are misunderstood by most. His animal companion is not the typical dog or cat but a corn snake named Yismir.
