McGraw Photography

My journey began in Detroit, Michigan where I was born and lived for eight years. When I was five, I was diagnosed with brain tumor and soon had surgery at Children’s Hospital to have the tumor removed. After the successful surgery, I had four therapird for a year. After I was fully recovered Children’s asked me to become their poster child.

    At the age of eight, I moved to London, England. I lived there y for three years, and I had the opportunity to travel to many countries in Europe. Traveling was the spark that gave me my first glimpse of photography. At the time, I was not interested in photography much; but my family encouraged me to keep taking photographs. They said they thought I had potential. Soon enough  three years came along and I returned to the states.

     My family and I moved back to Michigan for three months and then relocated to Cincinnati, Ohio. I soon became friends with a classmate who is a practicing photographer. He helped me push photography into my life and I have been grateful ever since to him. Whilst living in Ohio, I did some photo shoots with him and still visit him when I visit Cincinnati.

    After three years I moved to Naples, Florida. Once I began freshman year in high school, photography was available in the curriculum; I quickly jumped into the class. I am presently in the third year of taking photography and am now in the AP course. Since I have been taking the classes, I believe my photography skills have been improving. During my freshman year I bought my first DSLR camera in dedication of photography. The camera I bought is a Canon Rebel T2i. Since I bought my camera I have been inspired to capture more pictures and test myself to see what I can achieve. 

     I appreciate any viewers and offer requests for photos to be printed and, or framed. Please contact me if there are any questions pr concerns.

 

Much thanks;
