Amour-Propre photo collection consists of 30 images that have helped me overcome my imposter syndrome in photography. California, specifically the Bay Area, is where I developed the amour-propre. This is an ode to my home and expanding slightly beyond that.

Growing up, I've had to work tirelessly at everything I became good at. It never came easy. These trials taught me a valuable lesson in hard work, and to always keep striving. The confidence I built in photography translates to life. Instead of hiding from it, embracing it.

I hope it resonates with everyone reading, that in the beginning - it's normal to feel this way, but how you react to it defines you.

Amour-Propre: a sense of one's own worth; self-respect.
